It was like the most bland way you could do Attack On Titan despite it looking so gorgeous. Despite there being super-detailed art, it somehow felt like too much going on and there was nothing that really attached me to the story - made me angry, happy, sad nothing. The last Ufotable series, God Eater, immidiately drove me away because it was just so very bland about everything. The same can’t be said about the male leads introduced in episode 2 (or technically episode 1, as the first one was episode 0), but I’m willing to give the series a chance to see more character focus. The first episode in particular has extremely haphazard plot progression and is loaded with a little too much lore, but I did end up caring about the main character girl during the first episode - it did a really good job displaying her emotions and by the end of it I was at least a little bit attached. Tales Of Zestiria The X - You can definitely tell it is adapted from a long JRPG. there’s some really beautiful cross-hatching with some shots. They were mostly flashbacks to the old anime, but I did love them all the same. I am also pleased that episode 2 had a lot more traditionally animated scenes. It’s nice because it gives an human element to Farnese and it’s also nice because the Susumu Hirazawa track plays by the end of the episode, where it leaves off with Guts and a half-naked Farnese riding off. Standout scenes in the first two episodes include the Guts scene at the end of episode 1 and the whole escape scene where Guts finds and kidnaps Farnese in episode 2. It has the same voice and same style in terms of writing as the old anime and animation isn’t why I watch Berserk in the first place. It’s not as packed season of a season so far as spring was (only 6 series I ended up interested in, as opposed to 10), but it’s so rare I want to recommend a whole three series just because of the animation.īerserk 2016 - The CG is pretty terrible, but so far I don’t have many complaints about the story. I’m not a massively dedicated fan of Berserk because of those problematic elements, but the Golden Age arc in particular has my love despite them. It’s really difficult to write a tragedy (as in the literary genre) like this: all of the characterisation specifically has to be extremely consistent and the author really has to know their characters and their flaws and make them flow just right, otherwise it won’t feel natural. I don’t remember when specifically I started to like stories that felt like they were fated and could not have gone any other way, but Berserk is one of those. It’s one of those stories where companionship doesn’t necessarily prevail and the characters go through gruesome fate after gruesome fate, but I was regardless enchanted by its wonderfully complex cast. It’s a very messy story for me: it’s practically in Berserk’s identity to be problematic – not that all art isn’t problematic – but I think it definitely is a story for adults and even then only adults that can stand some really nasty stuff, from extremely excessive sexual content to the violence itself, there are points I was nauseated myself when I tried reading it after seeing the 1997 adaption. The Berserk manga never got to finish under its creator’s pen. The author of Berserk, Kentaro Miura, passed away.
