I can't believe i've rated a Bersek so low but well..I did and here comes one of the maddest reviews i've done to date.If you are a fanboy or a fangirl or someone who can't handle mature language take a hike cause things are gonna get a bit messy.It's a little known fact among my peers that i love Berserk.In fact i love it so much that i wanted to move to Japan and marry it,have it's kids and live happily ever after.But i think it might have been a holiday romance and when we came back i realised that it had horrid face hair.I was in love with the manga.All the details,the story,the design.Every single damn thing was absolutely stunning..And some time back the first one popped and boy did all the boys howl like we saw Pamela Anderson blowing Tommy Lee on a boat(which happened some years later actually).And while not the best even by the standards of the time it had something to it that made you.Happy.Fast forward to 2016 and after many attempts the franchise had yet to see a proper adaptation.And this one was the first ever Bersek that made me hate its' guts(pun intended).In short it was unwatchable.My head was spinning like i took cocaine or meth.Which clearly to my mind was what the studio that made this was on at the time.That horrible CGI,i still have nightmares about it.2017 and there's word about this,the new and better in every way Berseker..And when i saw it i smiled.I smiled like Joker did.But my friends as it turned out the only normal thing,animationwise wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaassssss..The fucking opening.After that it was like being dipped in liquid nitrogen and then smashed to pieces.All the excitement and joy gone in secs.i couldn't believe my eyes.The CGI was still there and still as cancerous as ever.If the previous one gave my eyes cancer this gave my brain Ebola and i died painfully screaming like a madman.The characters design.Dear lord deliver us from evil.The shades for example were like i took a pencil and just drew some lines on their faces.You remember those early 32 bit console graphics?Well they managed to do worse than those.It was painful to watch.The camera angles are like they're taken out of Ozzy's birthday party after he got hold of a camera,stoned out of his mind.The animation is the killer of this show.Even the 90's Berserk animation is better than that.Now i know that the cost of adapting the highly detailed manga would be off the charts.But this isn't an excuse for such a bad job.The frame rate is jerky at best.The movements are so unnatural it's like watching a mouse breastfeeding an elephant.The combined use of 2d and 3d is off the place.The end result is so appaling it's almost like watching Donald Trump havin one of his famous showersThen onto the sound dept..The sound effects are horrible beyond belief..A fight breaks out and swords clash and you hear the unmistakable sound of your mother banging sauce pans..If i wanted to hear sauce pans banging i'd hear Metallica's St.Anger ladsThe opening song?It doesn't serve only as an opening song but also as a background musicSeriously?How freakin lazy are they?You can hear the damn lyrics in the background while conversations are taking place.I expect the fanboys to barge in and burn me alive for this review,but i'm not into fanboyisms..If something is crap i'll say it's crap..Emotions don't make for a better show..And this isn't one.IF we were talking about the manga,IF,i would be writing a love letter to the maker not a rant in AP.But now we are talking about the anime.And since the most basic pillar,the animation,is outrageously bad to the point it becomes dangerous for my health then i can't possibly care if the story is made from the tears of an angel.And since i can't bring my self to watch this i can't and won't care about anything.If they wanted me and other people to care maybe they should have gone down another path.Which they didn't.
