The trailer for the PS2 Berserk game is pretty much the greatest thing ever. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Gc4ZYRN5QFg It's a shame Susumu Hirasawa one did this one song for it, the soundtrack he did for the Dreamcast game was awesome.

Only got chance to watch ten minutes of that stupid raw after spending ALL DAY downloading it. They certainly didn't skimp on the gore though. I'm in two minds about the whole 'cell-shaded CGI' thing, on one hand it lets the camera angles and movement look a lot more dynamic than most anime, but on the other it still looks drat awkward and obviously CGI.

Mr. Deathy posted:Movie is okay. Good even. Some nicely animated scenes, violence heavily intact. Yeah, though I really enjoyed the movie version, I think my only real complaint was the lack of Hirasawa on the soundtrack. It was a shame to be missing some of the early bonding between Guts and the rest of the Hawks as well, but obviously necessary given the limited time available. Also interesting to note that the credits sequence show some clips of post Golden Age events.

The big problem with them moving everyone except Guts, Griffith and Caska into the periphery is that it'll lesson the impact of Griffith's betrayal later on. When I first watched the original series I knew and liked all the named Hawks and their deaths hit me hard. In the movies anyone who doesn't already know who there are isn't going to care at all, unless they have a lot more dedicated time in the next two. Hell, I don't think they even bothered introducing Pipin by name.

Azzents posted:About 90% of the CG was great and didn't look out of place (The other 10% looked hammy at it's worst). Yeah, the next one is out at the cinema in a couple of months I think, so at least they're being released in a pretty timely manner. Unlike the loving Evangelion movies.

Trying to characterise Guts as one thing is ridiculous because (amazingly enough for manga) he acts as inconsistently as a real human being. Well, apart from always trying to stab things when he gets angry.

The first three volumes are pretty much 'look how lovely Guts life is' before moving on to why his life is that lovely.

Wow, in the new movie they really went out of their way to suggest that Griffith would rather be loving Guts than the princess. Sadly I think the best scene in the whole thing was the trailer for the next movie. There were so many things wrong with it I don't even know where to start. The one that stuck in my mind was why did they bother with the shot that paid attention to the fingernail scars on Griffith's shoulder without the accompanying scene that showed how they got there?

He only composed the main theme for the PS2 game, the rest of the music again being largely forgettable. I really do think that animated Berserk is missing something without a Susumu soundtrack and I'm convinced I'm harsher on the new Berserk movies than I otherwise would be because of it. I really need to play the PS2 Berserk game properly, don't have a console that can do imports and last time I tried it on an emulator the game ran okay but the UI elements were all messed up, I should see if it's improved recently.

Dragon's Dogma isn't really a whole lot like Dark Souls, apart from maybe in aesthetics, the closest thing it really compares to is something like Gothic/Risen (on open world but more focused than an Elder Scrolls game) with a bit of Monster Hunter thrown in.

Ccs posted:The music, though, is really blah when it could have been so much better. I know they don't have Hirasawa but they could at least get someone to make stuff that isn't completely forgettable. It's like the Hellsing OVAs, which also have terribly generic music, which is sad considering the TV versions of both Berserk and Hellsing had awesome soundtracks. It's a shame really since it's by Shiro Sagisu who usually does really memorable soundtracks, Evangelion for sure wouldn't be the same with a different composer.

The 90's Berserk anime only pales in comparison the the manga, it's still better than 99% of all anime that has or will ever exist. And Susumu Hirasawa's score adds so much to it.

Ccs posted:I'm probably gonna watch this tomorrow. I'm nervous about how THAT scene in the eclipse is handled. One of the great things about the manga is how it's able to show graphic sex without making it erotic, despite the fact that Griffith's demon powers are sorta making Caska aroused against her will. No, it's the worst scene in the film and they shoot it like something from a hentai title. In fact, as far as I could see, the only difference between the R-15 and R-18 versions was to make that scene more explicit. The Eclipse was handled way better in the TV series version, despite the bizarre choice of cut off point.

U-DO Burger posted:I really disagree with this. I watched the show first and it turned me off bigtime. I thought the Eclipse was hilarious because up until then there was no foreshadowing at all about what a Behilit was for. After the first episode it was just a bunch of medieval stuff and then BAM! your relic is a summoning device and now there are monsters everywhere eating everybody. And then the show ended. At the time I didn't know there was a manga, so all I could assume was that whoever wrote the story was a loving idiot. I don't know what show you were watching but there's tons of foreshadowing about the Behilit and supernatural stuff going on, that was the whole point of the part with Guts and Griffith fighting Zodd. Well, that and reinforcing that Griffith is an idiot where Guts is concerned. While the anime series isn't as good as the manga, that's a testament to just how good the manga is, it's still one of the best anime shows ever.

You should probably just try watching the TV series, it covers the same story as the movies only much better paced, but it's still not really a substitute for the manga. Be warned though, it's 15 years old now and the animation wasn't amazing even when it was new, although it officially has one of the top five best anime soundtracks ever, which makes up for a lot.

Zogundar posted:They don't, technically. It's just so strongly implied since he never is shown again that the only logical assumption the viewer can make is that he was subsequently eaten. He was the only named Band of the Hawks character that doesn't get eaten on-screen, which pretty much implies that he survived. There's certainly nothing about the scene which would make 'retconning' him to be alive necessary.

SatansBestBuddy posted:No. It's pretty drat bad. It's from 1998 dude. Yeah there's a lot of panning over stills but it gets way closer to the original manga than the lovely movies that don't even bother telling you half of the Hawk's names and is exceptionally well paced. Also the soundtrack is phenomenal.
