Hearing about the issues with the 2D and 3D teams really makes you appreciate Howard Ashman. The reason the Disney Renaissance movies flow so fucking well, why every movement, every line, every twiddle of a finger, informs everything else, is because Howard looked at the segmented style Disney's production team was doing at the time and went "that's fucking stupid, you guys are all coming to me wondering how we can do this, or this, or that, how do we accomplish this, how do we make THIS work - here's an idea, TALK TO EACH OTHER!" So the music guys, animation guys, voice directing and acting guys etc. all worked in tandem with each other, familiarizing themselves with how the other half lives and works, and building on their creative decisions from there. If Berserk 2016/17 worked like that, we could've had something truly special on our hands

I see you, Cvit, putting Best Girl Kainé's (and her Grandma's) themes in the video to flex your kino taste. Also being reminded of season 2's OP brings up the absolutely HORRIBLE choice to give Griffith a cliche, evil grin. Despite the fact that Griffith's consistently calm and poised demeanor since his resurrection in the manga has sparked many a debate on what exactly his mindset could be, since some argue that he is trying to do good or simply truly empty of typical human emotion since the Eclipse, so of course he would always be at calm. But the addition of that fucking laughable grin just paints him as a cliche and robs so much of the mystery. But excellent video, as expected, one that was worth the wait!

Honestly the way Tokyo Ghoul Re and Berserk have come out, I believe it's just best to leave mature story-driven manga out of production until they get their shit right. If I hadn't watched the Golden Age arc, I wouldn't know what the fuck was going on. Same thing I saw a bunch of people saying about TG, we don't know what the fuck is going on but it looks cool so we'll roll. Next I really see no reason to keep anime in the same old condensed form of 22 mins, which works well for weekly manga since it's about 2 chapters for one episode. These shows manage to pack like 5 chapters into 15 minutes what the fuck... If they're already doing seasons and planning to sell them like that, why would you stick to the TV formula which falls flat on it's ass on the internet, where most money is made? Do 10 GOOD episodes and I would be happier than with the 51 we got.

They wanted it to look and feel realistic and extremely detailed like a “Live Manga” even though technically the manga is 2D there’s no way to produce the same quality of the manga in a 2D anime format this is shown even in the golden age movies where the most detailed shit for example the eclipse was a complete CGI battle ground with just the characters in 2D and even then they had switched between 2D and 3D because of how impossible it would have been to get it right. Had they had more time and better experience and tools the vision they were going for possibly could’ve looked beautiful.

You want to know what the saddest part about all of this is? I have a small anecdote, and a real one. I've been told by this person that, they're fine with this because they don't want to READ. So basically, not only is this a poor low quality butchered version of the much tighter original manga, it's actually probably being passed out as fine by lazy people who don't like reading. It's actively selling the original short. And that's the worst part of all of this. I'm not blaming the lazy people either, it's just, a side effect of making something this bad based on something really good, these sorta of things should've been made with much more care and love than this. I mean, the original Anime was fine-ish and hey I'll even say those 3 movies were fine too overall compared to these things.

[@QMMarc]

@Rando Exactly, that's why good adaptations are needed, that's not to count people that have a deep issue with reading like dyslexia, which i have a small degree of. Didn't prevent me from reading it, but still. And hey if you like the thing, still, give it a try, sometimes you dont need to read all the words, just the key points, you flip through pages quickly that way, key points + the visual art really takes you far in mangas.
