Anime Berserk Movie Announced

[102jayday]

Our nation wage is double than US I believe so it works out XD

Yeah derm...and Dark Horse Volumes are $13-$15 dollars usually.

What I noticed when I watched the movie was the fact that the CG got a little better as it went on, so maybe there's hope for the second and third movies.

The fact that they changed a lot of stuff ticked me off a little. In his fight with Griffith, Guts doesn't just fall over from the first stab and stays there, he shambles over to Griffith and then falls over, as all the others freak out. Maybe more realistic, but as it was in manga, you could tell Guts was a struggler.
Guts does NOT wake up when Casca is in the middle of keeping him warm. No.
And.... Where the hell is the night attack where Griffith tells Guts to watch the rear, much to the surprise of all the people?!?

But the reason why this series was made into a movie was simply this......MONEY....they wanted to make it a movie so it would spread around more better than a anime. I just hope they make enough money to spend more time and effort in, I am not a fan of the 3DCG except from the movements, so they need to improve the graphics of the 3DCG.

So as a fan I'm half happy, but as a new fan I'm pretty happy if I ignore the graphics of 3DCG.

Well, also because, production-wise, it would be a lot harder and more expensive to create a higher quality animation with 26 episodes than say... an hour.

If they made a new series instead of a movie (which I'm not really against), there would be a compromise in budget and quality.

Yes you're right! I felt like it did become better too.
Don't forget when the group first enters to help Midlands army (omg a couple post back I called them Windam, some Gundam story I mixed up lol) it has Caska chew Guts out at the band of hawks camp and not in Midland lol.

Oh yes I looked on my volumes and it says US 13.95 I think its more here because we don't officially sell them, we get them from America. Because I noticed in stores that have all madman (aust anime company license stuff) The manga they sell is cheaper but I go to one of my favourite stores in Melbourne and they have them the week America has them, but the ones madman have are like a year or 2 late lol. But yeah I can get dark horse comics from them so they prob have it 10 bucks more because of the cost of getting them.

@ Baboysai
Yeah and thats the thing a movie is gonna get more money. People will wait for it to come to cinema and buy the promotional goods eg phone covers, posters teddy bears in the meantime (money). Then buy tickets to watch the movie (money!). Then buy it on Blu-ray/DVD (money).


But if these guys really loved the fans and were fans themselves and had heaps of money to spend they should of made a anime which would take time but be worth it for our and their happiness .

I'm not really complaining. I see this trilogy more of like, a tribute, more than anything. I'll watch/read anything the Berserk people will feed me, I'm that much of a fan i guess.

 

[102jayday]

Yep anything they give us regarding Berserk is amazing. Hell I would't mind them doing a little chibi tribute like they did with haruhi suzuymiya but have it focused on Puck, Puck Tales!

Really the most satisfaction for me is that these 3 movies (hopefully more like they promised at the start...) brings in more fans and gives Berserk the attention it deserves!

I don't actually remember the exact price compared to other Dark Horse series, but Berserk volumes are more expensive than most series, like Viz for example.

This is due to Dark Horse's volumes tending to contain more chapters than the Viz volumes. Partially because of the original Japanese tankoubon differing for Shounen and Seinen titles.

Berserk volumes would naturally cost more due to the better paper-quality, much more ink per volume, a double-sided full-colour poster of Miura's art, more and longer chapters, etc. The weight and thickness of a Berserk volume is much more than a Naruto Viz volume, for example.

You can also argue target demographic. Adults are often willing and able to pay more than children.

Viz puts out plenty of higher quality Seinen series now compared to years ago. I think the price point is higher, but I'm not sure if it's the same as Dark Horse or not.

Thats what the retailers tell me, its all about the better ink paper quality.

Special Preview for the second film streamed


first half is a digest of the first film, second half is about the new one. Personally I think it looks great but the GCI looks so silly quite often, I wished they would just use normal animation. Guts vs. Griffith looks nice

Waiting for a translation of the first movie, opinions about it are pretty mixed

 

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

So has anyone watched the movie? I'm waiting for it to get subbed, but apparently there's a rip somewhere on the piratebay.

I've been looking for it "legit" torrent for a while. I'll probably just wait for the disc to be available stateside. Not really on the top of my list of things anyways since its just a rehash of the Golden Age. If the movies catches up closer to the manga, then I'll be interested.

 

[xi0]

There's a few legit raw torrents out now, not just the original BD rip.

 

[baboysai]

But you didn't download one??

I found a good one at 2.5 GB. But it's still raw. no subbing group has announced anything?

I've downloaded it but haven't watched yet. It would be different if it was a sub.

I haven't really looked...

 

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

i don't think it's a problem if it's not subbed. We already know the story, and some of us know the dialogue by heart, so i guess it's watchable even without subs.
I haven't watched it yet because the size of the torrent is too big. i'm waiting for a smaller file.

You're not going to get a smaller file for something that's 720p.

We can all say we know what's going on without subs, but that's doesn't make the experience must-watch for me.

 

[baboysai]

Same here. I holded out on downloading because of the lack of subs. Even if I know the story and stuff, I'd still wanna know the words they're saying.

 

[Mifec]

Commie subs released it. It's out on nyaa. Enjoy guys.
