Okay so i finished the first episode of the new Berserk animu. First episode obviously doesnt do much but establish characters, and where the show is going to start off. CGI animation is smooth, so thats good, but it gives me a feeling of a more childish tone at times, which is completely confusing considering what berserk is, but it works somehow decently anyways. In some scenes its actually really good. Some of the character faces look bad at times, but generally its passable. Theres some censoring, but blu-ray versions whenever they are released will not be, so thats something that ticked me off a bit but understandable still. Doesnt seem to make the show hold back on the gore, at least not all of it.
A thing that kinda had me a bit sad was how the music for the action scenes was very rock/metal-ish, and sets Guts up more as a action hero, when he's more of a depressed, lonely wanderer. Other than that the soundtrack is passable, nothing memorable yet. Im sad that the Susumu Hirasawa song is only in the preview for the next episode, and not a intro, or outro, because that was the only one that stuck out. Well actually the intro they had now was pretty good, its standard japanese metal intro, but it was fine.
Seems good so far, ill keep watching because its Berserk.
