Berserk: Ougon Jidai-hen - Memorial Edition

As a manga reader, I'd say this was an excellent adaptation of Kentaro Miura's magnum opus. The Golden Age Arc is huge, so I can forgive it for not adapting some of the plot points. Even so, it leaves no loose ends in the anime and all the major plot points were covered. I am just a little disappointed that Gut's childhood did not get adapted, apart from small glimpses of flashbacks. I really hope they can add more details of it in future adaptations. The music and voice acting is excellent. The animation is amazing. Given the atmosphere of the setting, I think the lightingand coloration is just perfect. The CGI blended in mostly, with some notable of exceptions of a few side characters, who were mostly entirely CGI, and stood out is some parts as odd. If you haven't read the manga, you can still watch it, but know that in the manga there are a lot more details. You may want to catch on later to get the full experience. If you have read the manga, you have no reason not to see it - its a well rounded adaptation of the manga, and watching the scenes from the manga animated is a treat to the eyes. Do not miss it.

Berserk: The Golden Age Arc - Memorial Edition retells the original trio of movies, showcasing the rise, fall, and rebirth of Guts, Griffith, and the Band of the Hawk. Witnessing Guts transform into the Hundred Man Slayer, and later The Struggler was a delightful experience as always. It reminded me why Berserk is considered one of the finest dark fantasy works available. I saw the three movies and the series long ago, and it's a good thing I forgot many important scenes. I enjoyed watching this. It was a good refresher. It looks like new scenes were added here and there. This movie was also visuallyimpressive, featuring a good blend of CGI and traditional 2D animation. Despite being based on an older film trilogy, the animation quality is as good as that of the more recent anime series, which is both impressive and surprising. While it tends to lean heavily on CGI, I overlooked this fact and appreciated the tweaks made to the animation. Overall, I was satisfied with the improvements made in the Memorial Edition. Also, I must say that the explicit scenes were the chef's kiss! I don't remember seeing them in the movie trilogy, or maybe I wasn't paying attention back then. Overall, I'd certainly recommend this to fans of Berserk. I hope they'll also remake or remaster Berserk 2016-17 in the future. Maybe once the manga has been completed?

It adds one of the more character-defining, beautiful-horrifying-tender scenes in Manga/Anime history. The depth and vulnerability it displays consequentially touches on a lot of this series. It's one of the things that are not addressed in the old-school 1997 production. Yet this version still doesn't capture the looming underbelly of the darkness of the series that 1997 captures, choosing to focus on keeping things truly diet light "Golden age" so to say, than fulfilling the lore around certain characters that will carry the series further in validating their on-screen reputation, other than being the obvious main character. If after watching this, you decide to readthe manga in hopes of more you'll soon realize that there's more you'd like to see, even without sticking 100% to the source material. To me, many smaller feats are left out, matter in the crescendo of events, as you could say a lot of things are orchestrated by "divine" will. Ultimately it just seems like they are kind of milking off the animation that's already there in a director's cut that's still lacking. If that's what it's some OVAs/movies become Animes, but if this is a definitive "reboot" attempt into the next arc... This story deserves so much more than an average afterthought cut. It's a good intro to Berserk if you have no context, as the story is immaculate that you could get away with releasing an okay product but there are a lot of just okay releases. Being overly critical it's a 7, even though compared to most these days it could be an 8.

I’ve never read the manga, so I am basing this entirely off the shows merits. I was told a lot of positive things about the memorial remake, and berserk in general. There was a significant amount of poor cg use. So the visuals were often a let down. I completely understand the use of nudity when needed, but I felt there was a couple scenes that were bordering on hentai, which was unnecessary. I only felt any attachment to 3 characters, those being Griffith, Guts, and Judeau. Casca was lacking something. She was headstrong but seemed to never be able to back it up, even though shewas supposed to be a captain above Judeau, Pippin, and others. She lost every time. She was bossy for no reason. I never grew to like her character at all. I understand it’s a dark story, but I feel as if it’s sometimes dark to just be dark. Casca is threatened to be raped every battle, and is often successfully stripped in some way. Guts was raped by some men, but he killed his father for allowing it and being drunk? Casca was saved by Griffith from rape, yet her and Guts are both virgins. Griffith never showed any sign of being evil to anyone in the party, but made Casca sleep with guts naked because “it’s the purpose of a woman”? Very random things included just to randomly remind you, “remember this is a dark medieval fantasy”. Got a little annoying. SPOILER: Griffith seems to genuinely care about Guts, even up until the end. Then all of a sudden he’s just like nah screw them all. And rapes Casca in front of Guts just to make him feel pain. When literally 2 minutes before he broke his arm to hold onto Guts from falling. Also, I’ve looked up explanations, but they weren’t really satisfactory; somehow Casca enjoyed what Griffith did to her? The author even semi confirmed it wasn’t even Griffith’s powers that did that. And they definitely animated it like she did. TLDR: Show is overly dark to the point of not explaining things or making since, but since it’s the darkest thing that could happen, it happens. Also animation was goofy and Casca was annoying. 6/10
