I know I love Berserk, and I loved the anime as well. Well in Ch 324 it says a new anime project is starting! Oh man cant wait for that I hope it gets out soon =D
I have all the translated Berserk manga to date, the music CD from the Anime, the Anime itself and I positivity LOVE Berserk in every aspect. What is this new project ? I haven't heard anything about it? Do you have a link ?
3 anime movies are being made. It's a retelling of the events in the TV version. I'd prefer that treatment be given to Bastard!, but it's still very good news.
Dude, it sounds like your trying to belittle this thread calling an Anime a cartoon. It wasn't that long ago a similar thread was made and certain members (who I wont name) tried to devalue the thread because they didn't like the topic of Anime. I would just like to ask people not to comment if your not going to be constructive. Otherwise I'm just going to tell people to fuck off. This isn't aimed at you SamHamwich, I just wanted to point that out. Thank you. -------------------------------------- Back on Topic -------------------------------------- Edit: Saf beat me to it I was just going to post that. lol
For those who don't know Bastard!, here are two videos : An AMV using the footage from OVA episodes The official trailer for the MMO (that got canceled) Meh ... Apparently you need to go to youtube to watch it.
Wow, I have actually never seen Bastard! before. Looks just like my type of Anime, I'll be watching this tomorrow ! Thanks Saff, you legend. I'll write a review of what I though of it after. Cheers again. Edit: Is it wrong that I'm more excited about this than when I got my University place? Edit: Edit: Holy poop, the Online amv is incredible.
I haven't seen this cartoon, but I've seen the comic in the comic store a few times. The art looks really distorted and all the dark busy lines kind of remind me of tattoo art. It's not the kind of thing that usually catches my attention, but it looks kinda neat, I might pick up a volume and give it a read if you guys recommend it. I'm always happy to read new comics!
Doesn't the original anime seem wayy better than the retelling though?? And WTF Griffith looks even more femme!! I think, from the trailer, that the point is being missed completely, although the actual choreography seems improved.
Hey Saff, just finished watching Bastard!! and have to say it was better than expected. Going to start reading the manga asap.
Yeah, Bastard!! is a classic. Be advised though that, for a lot of fans myself included, the manga story ends with the defeat of Abigail. After that, the author doesn't have the slightest idea of what the hell he is doing. He is just coasting in order to get the money. No more inspiration, no plot.
Bah , that's a shame. I'm still willing to give it a shot though. The base storyline itself seems completely crazy, so many things that simply make no sense and seem to have just been inserted on a whim. That being said, other parts of his work shine. *shrug*
The anime production had to cram the manga material in only 6 OVAs, so I can understand your feeling. The manga itself is great too, up to the point I mentioned. No one kicks ass like DS does, or has a more beautiful lover (Nei) like he has imo. Other fantasy magic users seem tame, lame, puny in comparison and their spells ridiculous. Die Amond is great fun too, I love it when he goes to fight Kal Su in the manga.
