I couldn't help noticed that the movie-a strange mix of CG and animation, interesting choice-is named 'The Golden Age I" Obviously there will be a 'II' depending on how well it does but... Are they planning on making a film for every arc? The Golden Age was arguably the longest arc to date (definitely the longest flashback I have ever seen) so there is definitely the material there for a film or three but... It would be disappointing to not have the other arc animated.
@trigun908 Well ok...but it's enough just to know that he's been punished. I don't need to watch those scenes (like those in manga) It's disgusting and disturbing...
I just wonder how long it will take them to release it here in the US :( I definatly will want to find a fansub, untill I can buy an official one.. Have a feeling an unedited US subed release wont be in the works till years after :(
@mojotheaverage It would probably not exist without all the CG, so no. CG is used as a time-saving technique when animating some of the large-scale battle scenes, and it allows them to save a lot of money. As awesome as Berserk is, this probably won't make bazillions of dollars and as such can't support an immense budget. If viewing audiences prove them wrong and dish out a lot of money on this, there's a chance they'll put more effort into animation quality for future projects.
@Victoly yeah you've got a point there. I guess that's the problem in an industry which demands to see a profit being made or it'll have a studio shut down.
@mojotheaverage That's the way of most industries these days. If our choices are between having some CG used somewhat to the detriment of the look of the movie, and having a Michael Bay's Transformers-style pile of shit that LOOKS amazing, I'll opt for the former.
@mojotheaverage Yep - and better this than having Guts voiced by Shia LaBeouf, Zodd becoming reimagined as a transforming robot, Pippin and Judeau becoming a pair of pot-smoking slapstick comic relief sidekicks, Casca becoming a scantily-clad bombshell, and the other host of changes that would undoubtedly come from producers' demands if a Berserk adaptation were to have a bigger "mainstream" budget. Sad but true. The only way to change things is to support things that dare to be different.
The Golden Age Arc Trilogy is 1 film broken into 3 segments: The Egg of the Supreme Ruler, The Battle for Doldrey, Descent. The 1st part was actually pretty darn good. I would imagine had Studio 4C had a bigger budget we would have had 3 seperate films with a 2 hour run time each. So I hope that the numbers in the Box Office, DVD sales and Merchandise are strong enough that production continues for the series.
@TracerSpace Your a lier the second and third movie titles haven't been officially released yet. Plus the second movie is of the Black swordsman/Conviction Arc so how can it be named after a battle during the Golden Age Arc?
You don't know what the heck your talking about, stop giving people fake information!!!
@TracerSpace I checked your facts and it seems your absolutely right! Though the information I verified isn't official nore is the source I used to verify as well. I just think its really strange that all three films are named "The Golden Arc" even though it covers the Black Swordsman Arc, Retribution Arc, Conviction Arc, Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc and possibly the Fantasia Arcs.
Hard to believe Miura would name all three movies after one ARC (Golden Age0 just saying...
@IzayaInoue The 1st film in its 3 Acts only covers The Golden Age Arc, the following films and or OVA would naturally cover The Blackswordsman, Retribution, and Millennium Falcon Arcs etc...
@TracerSpace Forgive me for being so brash, since 2005 Berserk saved me from killing myself literally, so I take the anime/manga very seriously. Please forgive my ill manners :(
@IzayaInoue Miura has NOT officially named the other two movies, and matter of fact even Young Animal (Manga Magazine which features Berserk manga) hasn't officially released the names of the second and third Berserk movie titles so how in the world would animenewsnetwork and SkullKnight know!? There not official, and until it comes from a official source like Miura, Young Animal, Young Jump, or someone close to the project your information is unofficial and unreliable!!!
I live in Japan and will definitely be going to the theaters next week to see this. I first saw an advertisement for this on Lotteria's (fast food restaurant)...tray paper...? Berserk manga has always been my favorite so even though this will probably feel rushed since they're squeezing 10 volumes worth of story into 2 hours, I don't mind in the least. Cuz let's be honest: anything Berserk is officially badass. Hopefully more fanart will get made so I can snag some new, cool wallpapers.
@radsmile The anime was 25 20-minute episodes (when you cut out the intro, credits, previews, etc., you end up with around 20 minutes each). Let's assume that they won't cover the three or so episodes of the show that deal with that Whale-knight bozo (who wasn't in the manga), or the first episode (with "Black Swordsman" Guts). That leaves us with about 7 hours of material to cover. Three movies, each at 2 hours each, gives us 6 hours. One hour's worth of material shouldn't be that hard to cut.
Can't wait for the series to start, hope it won't be censored in any way. However, the extremely Hollywood feeling of this trailer does cause some concerns for my part.
I mean I see nothing but when here: "Music" Composer Shiro Sagisu (Bleach, Evangelion), Insert Song by Susumu Hirasawa (Berserk Tv Series Composer), + The Saga being back I mean what is their not to be happy for. Leave the nitpickers be and enjoy the ride folks.
I wonder How/if they are going to tackle the more brutally violent/sexual aspects of the manga? I mean some of the stuff I can agree to being censored but some of it is actually very important to the story. In the end if it's GOOD I'll be happy.
Lol can anyone lend assistance? Im trying to find a dl link to the second of the two songs in this trailer, the one that starts playing around the time guts grabs caska's hand, and yes i know the name of the song i just cant find it on the web
@ReploidRevolution I've been looking around desperately for that one too, but no luck. :( I found that the release date for that single is actually in February, so maybe then it will appear online too? =\ FYR, it's called 'Utsukushiki Mono' by AI.
Seriously, the old anime (1997) look awful. Have you seen how many single frame pauses they have just to cut down fps? If you think that anime looks better then this one fine, but you're wrong!
@WheredaKFCat You know, CG is a funny thing. It can look amazing if done well, but if done poorly it could butcher the show/movie. I was worried too when I first read that the movie would be CG heavy, but after watching this trailer it looks like they're going to do a good job with the CG. The battle scenes look very promising. I even tried to find something I didn't like visually in the trailer, and the only bad thing I could find is Griffith's horse if you pause at 0:22 :P
My favorite series among all I've seen in my life... Wow. We've got to wait for it, and see if it doesn't lose that atmosphere of melancholy and disgrace.. That atmosphere was the biggest atractive of this series. If they don't make me feel that atmosphere, it will be a failure.
@titimilidbz 3 movies are only about Golden Age (10 mangas?) Whole movie project have almost 10 years. We will watch the whole manga.And i dont think that one movie have 80 minutes.
@titimilidbz It's a full 2 hours, if that makes you feel any better. That leaves us with 40 minutes per chapter. It's a bit fast but it won't be as bad as you think.
@Gyrogyro I read in animenews network that the first movie will be 80 minutes, and judging by the trailer it will contain at least 4 volumes, which would take like 4+ hours to make
@titimilidbz hmm I swear I read somewhere that it was 120 minutes, I cant seem to find the source so I might be confusing it with something else. Hopefully it's longer than 80 minutes, though it looks like it only covers 3 volumes (4-6, plus the one chapter from volume 3, I didn't see any scenes from volume 7 but I could be mistaken). Even still, 80 minutes isn't enough for 3 volumes lol
@Gyrogyro Google animenewsnetwork and search for Berserk. The first movie is 80. The second is 100 I think but not sure about this one, and the third is 110. I just hope the third is like that and I hope they at least don't censor that one. Eclipse ftw
@Gyrogyro Yeah I've been reading the manga since 2-3 days ago and I didn't recognize the scenes when watching this during the time. Thx though.
I personally feel that the Golden Age arc is the best arc that a manga can deliver...it was just so amazing. I'm currently on chapter 201 so with the witch and the golems.
@Athelfirth2 I dont like it too but... we will see final effect. I am very afraid of look of eclipse if they do this almost only in CG...but we see eclipse in third movie (probably in the end of it.)
So if the first movie is to Zodd(assuming), I'd guess the second is to Griffith being taken by the King of Midland into the tower of rebirth, and the third will end on the eclipse?
Do you want to say that everyone is obligated to like this only because you like it? Get real, everyone has their own opinions. And, have you already seen this movie that you call it a masterpiece?
Lol yeah i wonder how they're going to show it in cinema, does anyone know how many movies there will be? im kind of curious how they will pack 325 chapters into the movies concerning the time limit of only 2-3hours each movie..
@rhapdenovo thats what makes this series so epic. The tale of frienship, bond and trust. Surrounded by pride, greed and lust. Ending with betrayal and anger. Its a turmoil of emotions that make Berserk so so so very awesome. The golden age anyway.
And its true nothing can sever their bond. They worded that very cleverly, because before eclipse it was a bond of friendship and post eclipse, it was the brand ;-)
Rather of had the manga's in anime form than this remastered, the original was perfect the way it was. Expect it to be censored which defeats the point of the berserk manga.
@TheMightyLu Oh no, the original was horrible in comparison to the original source material. Serious holes in the story. But yeah, they will probably censor it down, I would've preferred OVA's myself, but I'm still hyped for this movie.
And I personally think CG was the best way to go in this movie. 2d tends to down the action scenes sometimes, and they probably wanted the action to be more fluid. Don't be like ''Original was better'' Since it wasn't.
@MrAnimerater What is the difference between movies like this and OVAs? They're both long, high budget videos that show the story of the manga that come out every ~8 months (as opposed to most adaptations which are weekly 23 minute small budget episodes), so I never really understood the difference.
@Gyrogyro OVA doesnt need to censor things. Remember Hellsing Ultimate OVA? . Basicaly, I wanted an OVA version of it, since they will probably censor it down now. They will air in the Theaters after all.
@MrAnimerater Ah I see. Hopefully the censoring won't be too bad. I can't imagine it would be too bad, I mean there are plenty of messed up rated R films in the theater. Also, lots of movies get deleted/censored scenes restored in the eventual DVD/blu ray release. Hopefully at least the blu ray of this won't be censored too bad.
Has it been revealed if the movie will finally show the actual beginning of Berserk? I'd like to see the interactions between Puck and Guts animated :P
@Gyrogyro Yeah. Well, as far as I know they will start with the Golden age Arc, so basically when Guts was a kid. I doubt the first chapters will be in the movie, since it happends after the golden age arc. I'd assume that they will skip that, in order to get New people interested in Berserk.
And yes, probably we will get an uncut version of Berserk in the Blueray release, but that's still far away.
@MrAnimerater I am A-OK with animes using 3DCGI for action scenes but when they start using it for dialog (like king of thorn did) it really just. Well it sucks.
From what I see in the trailer they aren't mostly keeping it to just action though.
@TheMightyLu Notice the smaller sword is only at the beginning, but later on near the end of the trailer, it looks quite large again, I think it looks fine, remember, Kentaro is making sure they dont mess up the same way he made sure the last adaption wouldn't mess up.
Well, at least all 3 movies are coming out next year. That's awesome! And from what I've heard, the rest of the series will be made into movies as well. I'm hoping they'll make it up to Griffith forming the new Band of the Hawk.
I usually don't get very excited for any trailers, just so I can try to keep my expectations on a stable. But this trailer gave me goosebumbs, litterally! I love the Berserk series, both anime and manga (read it and watched it so many times, for years), and I approve of this trailer!
un mio amico mi ha spedito il link a questo video...appena ho saputo dell'uscita dei movie di berserk ho avuto un orgasmo...poi ho visto i due trailer...devo comprare una nuova tastiera...
@fritzVirginSteeler Yeah I'm a bit disappointed with the 2D animation, definitely not as good as some other anime movies. Literally just watched Laputa last night and the animation was so godly.
Still, this is probably why they opted for heavy CG. Berserk is VERY detailed.
@jjrudki This is neither studio ghibli or miyazaki...:D Still, it is a Universal pictures production so I cannot understand the problem. Didn't they have the money to proper animation and proper CG? The CG in this trailer is pretty bad as well (just look at the Gatsu horse-charging scene). The drawings are nicely done and definitevely detailed - but aren't those from better animated OAV the same?
Berserk is a masterpiece, its a shame that more people don't know about it. In my opinion, its one of the 3 greatest manga/anime series ever produced (the other two being Evangelion and FMA).
In a movie of 1.20 hours lenght they wouldn't be faithfull to the manga, like the series did. And it's too bad Hirasawa won't be behind the entires ost.
WTF is this shit? CGI is retarded. Music is utter crap.

It's starting from the Golden Age arc, which will span 3 movies and will all be released in 2012.
Then they'll be adapting the rest of the manga into more movies in the years to come.

So if the first movie is to Zodd(assuming), I'd guess the second is to Griffith being taken by the King of Midland into the tower of rebirth, and the third will end on the eclipse?

cbkh915 2 months ago in playlist More videos from dir3ctdk
@rhapdenovo thats what makes this series so epic. The tale of frienship, bond and trust. Surrounded by pride, greed and lust. Ending with betrayal and anger. Its a turmoil of emotions that make Berserk so so so very awesome. The golden age anyway.
And its true nothing can sever their bond. They worded that very cleverly, because before eclipse it was a bond of friendship and post eclipse, it was the brand ;-)

Rather of had the manga's in anime form than this remastered, the original was perfect the way it was. Expect it to be censored which defeats the point of the berserk manga.
TheMightyLu 2 months ago
@TheMightyLu Oh no, the original was horrible in comparison to the original source material. Serious holes in the story. But yeah, they will probably censor it down, I would've preferred OVA's myself, but I'm still hyped for this movie.
And I personally think CG was the best way to go in this movie. 2d tends to down the action scenes sometimes, and they probably wanted the action to be more fluid. Don't be like ''Original was better'' Since it wasn't.
MrAnimerater 2 months ago 5
@MrAnimerater What is the difference between movies like this and OVAs? They're both long, high budget videos that show the story of the manga that come out every ~8 months (as opposed to most adaptations which are weekly 23 minute small budget episodes), so I never really understood the difference.
Gyrogyro 2 months ago
@Gyrogyro OVA doesnt need to censor things. Remember Hellsing Ultimate OVA? . Basicaly, I wanted an OVA version of it, since they will probably censor it down now. They will air in the Theaters after all.
MrAnimerater 2 months ago
@MrAnimerater Ah I see. Hopefully the censoring won't be too bad. I can't imagine it would be too bad, I mean there are plenty of messed up rated R films in the theater. Also, lots of movies get deleted/censored scenes restored in the eventual DVD/blu ray release. Hopefully at least the blu ray of this won't be censored too bad.
Has it been revealed if the movie will finally show the actual beginning of Berserk? I'd like to see the interactions between Puck and Guts animated :P
Gyrogyro 2 months ago
@Gyrogyro Yeah. Well, as far as I know they will start with the Golden age Arc, so basically when Guts was a kid. I doubt the first chapters will be in the movie, since it happends after the golden age arc. I'd assume that they will skip that, in order to get New people interested in Berserk.
And yes, probably we will get an uncut version of Berserk in the Blueray release, but that's still far away.
MrAnimerater 2 months ago
@MrAnimerater So they're going in chronological order? Fair enough. As long as they eventually get to the black swordsman arc :)

@MrAnimerater I am A-OK with animes using 3DCGI for action scenes but when they start using it for dialog (like king of thorn did) it really just. Well it sucks.
From what I see in the trailer they aren't mostly keeping it to just action though.

Sword is smaller than the original anime... Really not liking the new style :/
TheMightyLu 2 months ago
@TheMightyLu Notice the smaller sword is only at the beginning, but later on near the end of the trailer, it looks quite large again, I think it looks fine, remember, Kentaro is making sure they dont mess up the same way he made sure the last adaption wouldn't mess up.

Well, at least all 3 movies are coming out next year. That's awesome! And from what I've heard, the rest of the series will be made into movies as well. I'm hoping they'll make it up to Griffith forming the new Band of the Hawk.
edik23 2 months ago
@cloudani This series of 3 movies (Golden Age arc) probably end with eclipse.... i think this should end at the same moment like in old anime.

I usually don't get very excited for any trailers, just so I can try to keep my expectations on a stable. But this trailer gave me goosebumbs, litterally! I love the Berserk series, both anime and manga (read it and watched it so many times, for years), and I approve of this trailer!

@fritzVirginSteeler Yeah I'm a bit disappointed with the 2D animation, definitely not as good as some other anime movies. Literally just watched Laputa last night and the animation was so godly.
Still, this is probably why they opted for heavy CG. Berserk is VERY detailed.

@jjrudki This is neither studio ghibli or miyazaki...:D Still, it is a Universal pictures production so I cannot understand the problem. Didn't they have the money to proper animation and proper CG? The CG in this trailer is pretty bad as well (just look at the Gatsu horse-charging scene). The drawings are nicely done and definitevely detailed - but aren't those from better animated OAV the same?
fritzVirginSteeler 2 months ago
Berserk is a masterpiece, its a shame that more people don't know about it. In my opinion, its one of the 3 greatest manga/anime series ever produced (the other two being Evangelion and FMA).

In a movie of 1.20 hours lenght they wouldn't be faithfull to the manga, like the series did. And it's too bad Hirasawa won't be behind the entires ost.
