That's because they were using a form of animation that had been perfected for almost 100 years at that point. 2016 chose a style of animation that has rarely worked well. I can excuse how bad it looks for the sake of trying something they didn't have much experience with. The sound design and the clang is unforgivable. It's immediate, before I could even make an opinion on the animation style the clang made me hate the adaptation

[@Gilbert_Dice_Gottfried]

Because sometimes the animation isn’t good in the ‘97 version. However, the hand painted still frames are what truly stands out in ‘97 and that’s why it’ll always be classic to me. They capture the mood of berserk because they look like they’re straight out of a mideval painting. Also, the English dub for the 97 series is one of the greatest anime dubs of all time. The voice acting for every single character is perfect. Especially guts’s voice actor. 97 berserk will always be one of my favorite anime series of all time. There was a lot of heart and hard work put into it. Guts ‘97: “I need it. I need to fight until the voices stop. I want to fight until I remember nothing!” That’s why I love the English dub.

@Urn Turn I feel that the story's strength comes from both its artistic display as well as the way it delivers the story. 2016 gave the story but not the animation or artistic display.

[@poudink5791]

It's not really reasonable to expect any adaptation to live up to Berserk's art. 1997 didn't either, though it didn't fail as badly as 2016 did. Berserk may just be the most beautiful manga out there, in no small part due to Miura's insane attention to detail. No 1997 anime with a standard budged could possibly live up to that. A modern anime with Mob Psycho-tier animation may possibly be able to, but 2016 was certainly not that. Even then, it's far from certain. Mob Psycho had the source material's minimalist, purposefully clumsy and flat art style working for it. Not having to put as much in every frame allowed the animators to draw a lot more frames. Compare that with Berserk, which has insane amounts of details and shading in every frame. I'm partly convinced that even modern animation could never live up to Berserk's art within a reasonable budget. For all intents and purposes, not even any modern manga should have been able to. The ever increasing level quality Miura put into Berserk's art was part of the reason for the manga's notoriously slow publication rate later on, to the anger of his editors. It wasn't something that could be sustainably kept up, but he did it anyway at the cost of only being able to publish a few chapters a year without working himself to death like he did earlier on when the manga had a stable monthly schedule. In the end, he could never finish the story.

[@archkull]

Its lazy

[@env0x]

i think there's only one part that would be better in 3d and that's the eclipse. those panoramic shots i think are really necessary to get the full scope of the dimension of abstract time. other than that i think the rest should be 2d because it's really needed to show the facial expressions and emotions of characters, something Miura painstakingly spent the most of his time perfecting.

[@kpill45]

If mappa animated dis shit it would be S tier

[@mask938]

Here's the thing, buddy. Since Berserk's manga has such amazing visuals, adapting it into animation would require either a heavily toned down artstyle (like the 1997 anime) or for the majority of it to be rendered in 3D (kinda like the movies). The problem isn't that they chose to render most of it in 3D. The problem is that they chose a director and studio that are highly inexperienced in 3D animation. The director was Shin Itagaki and while he's a very experienced director, he mainly specializes in cutesy moe anime and had no experience with 3D prior to Berserk 2016. The studio was Millepensee, whose only work prior to Berserk 2016 was a moe anime called Teekyuu, which had very cheap 2D animation and very fast-paced editing. To make things even worse, the production was an absolute mess. They spent a lot of time just trying to figure out what they were doing and trying to get everyone on the same page, and by the time they managed to pull themselves together, the deadline was approaching quickly and they had to rush everything, which resulted in the horrific mess we have now.

[@irexzilla2392]

Honestly I guess the best Way to use 3D animation is by having IT as a refrence and the rotoscope it. That would make some scenes helluva more buetiful. The 2012-13 film trilogy did understand When IT was necessary to use 3D animation.

Indeed. Berserk CAN be adapted - it HAS been adapted properly once already with the 97's animation. I mean, there's not much that can compare to the manga's fantastic art and feel, but at least the characters and story were properly conveyed, and personally I think they did well with the animation itself as well. While limited by budget, they did the best they could with it, and the end product is charming and thought through. It's such a shame that they didn't cover everything.

Speaking as someone who's never firsthand experienced Berserk, looking at the comparison shots between manga and anime makes me think that an accurate recreation of the original artwork would take a theatrical-quality budget

[@techandroid1895]

You are absolutely right.....some of the panels of manga are so damn detailed that I don't know how should they get animated....but this 3d style was not at all a solution to it...

[@user-zy7jx2rn1j]

I would not have minded the look of something like 97 which also had a low budget for a new berserk anime if it meant it'd be in 2d and not 3d.

True, I wish some big studio would put a team together that actually loves Berserk and produce it with the respect it deserves, with a good budget. Studio 4°C treated it as best as they could with the movies and had plans to actually continue further than the Golden Age Arc but Young Animal acted like a piece of crap and gave it to Gemba a few years later. And thus we got the horrible 2016 version instead...

[@supereldinho]

30 years ago, Akira set the standard for high-quality animation with its then-meager 10 million dollar budget. The whole thing was drawn with painstaking effort that is clearly visible in every single frame; the sheer attention to detail is on par with Kentaro Miura's work ethic -- when he actually is working, that is...that lazy bastard. Fast-forward to this and one thing is for certain: Anime's haven't gotten more expensive to make; people have gotten cheaper and lazier.

[@nicholasleclerc1583]

Christopher Marlowe Exactly what I said somewhere else here

[@ShiningDarknes]

deadlines have gotten shorter and artists are demanding more pay. You have to remember back in Akira days anime artists really did not get paid enough for their work. Heck they are still not paid enough. But as the pay for that kind of animation goes up, the producers will want less and less of it since CGI is so much cheaper than hand-animation. But remember CGI isn't the problem, BAD CGI is. There are several netflix originals that a exclusively CGI and honestly they look fine. But really if a studio is going to do and anime in CGI they need to commit to it, not do some hand-animation and some CGI because that always looks terrible.
