Even the most magnanimous of Berserk fans are having trouble with the above official image of Guts and Griffiths tucking in to a Lotteria hamburger and milkshake, as part of what must be the most mismatched anime tie-up yet…
The offer itself is available from all Lotteria shops from the 19th, and consists of an otherwise unremarkable teriyaki burger set with fries and a drink, along with special Berserk stationary, all for the princely sum of ¥1,000.
The fan reaction is less than forgiving:
“This is too surreal…”
“Oh come on, they are eating a burger and shake…”
“Wasn’t Berserk set in a medieval European setting? Did they have hamburgers back then? I’m pretty sure they had no milkshakes…”
“Surreal, isn’t it? Particularly Griffiths…”
“Guts looks like an old man.”
“He looks Korean…”
“They could get away with Guts, but not Griffiths.”

What the hell is with the Korean hating for these guys? Do they know that in other parts on the planet there are Japanese-Korean restaurants? lol, idiots.
Those are usually just Korean restaurants run by Koreans with a few common Japanese dishes, like sushi and udon.
A lot of restaurants in the West coast are actually run by Japanese people who like to incorporate fusion into the cuisine. It just might differ depending on how large the communities of each nationalities are. East coast in America probably has more Koreans and Chinese than in the West coast where there's more of a Japanese community presence in Hawaii and California.
Also, a lot of people in real life can't give a crap about this issue or at least not let it be an open issue to vent about hither dither. People raging in the internet would look pretty damn ridiculous in real life. And I hope they get that treatment more so with this racial issue.
“He looks Korean…”
Lol. Is it that hard for the Japanese to not associate anything with Koreans or Chinese for 1 day? Least us barbarians are safe 6 days a week on that front.
>>Lol. Is it that hard for the Japanese to not associate anything with Koreans or Chinese for 1 day?
No.
The korean thing is a meme on 2ch, it's for mocking the anti-korean 2channelers...
Berserk gore + burger = questionable meat and shake materials...
You just had to go there! Dx
3d is rarely done right. most of the times, it looks like it was added on instead of being a part of the experience. also, my head hurts with it.
they should have gone in a different direction, like have the two sitting in the middle of the restaurant in full armor with several alarmed patrons staring at them.
That would have been much better, and totally badass in a humorous way. This picture as it is now is just weird.
It looks like a behind the scenes shot on set while the actors are taking a break. I think it's hilarious.
they totally ruined it for me with the 3d cg animation. i can't understand how the japanese are killing an art form so close to them.
also if i wanted to se a medieval fantasy 3d cg extravaganza i would much rather go watch again lord of the rings, at least it looks good, and not like some videogame rough sketch.
I'd still rather watch this rather than Lord of the Rings, but I agree on the whole "cg sucks," thing. Hand-drawn art looks so much better, especially with some of the amazing Japanese artists out there doing it.
And Berserk has fantastic artwork already...this movie isn't going to do the art justice, which is too bad. I'd love to see a fully-traditional Berserk anime. It'd be incredible. :'3
and HOW do you suppose a fully-handdrawn anime with art on the same level as the manga would even realistically be possible without needign either 10 years or insane costs to make it? CG only looks bad when iits not well-done, and its getting better and better with time just like the drawn part of the animation itself. the way to go is not to reject one of the two, but the symbiosis between the two. just look how smooth the animation is, its all thanks to filling up the missing frames with CG.
I hope Media Blasters is still around when this comes out.
Guts is going to die of a heart attack if he keeps eating those burgers.
a mix between 3d animation and 2d animation?............. fuck, this is coming in 3d isn't it?
If Guts & Griffith had dined exclusively on a 100% Fast Food Burger Diet ala SUPERSIZE ME than:
Guts would've been too morbidly obese to swing his fucking sword.
Griffith would be a pot-bellied ChickenHawk FAGGOT resembling Elton John on a bender & would recruit exactly NO ONE for his mercenar army.
Cheesburgers and Medieval Heroic Fantasy DO NOT FUCKING MIX.
lmao this is just most crazy thing I ever seen as a berserk fan due to how epic nad brutal adn tragic it is ahahah this really is surreal.
epic nad brutal... your disregard for punctuation and spelling just made that even more hurtful :)
this has way too much 3D for my taste
what i make of enemies turned to meat pulp ? BARUGAZU !
but i'd rather not think about the shake is made of
Is it me, or are there some cell shaded 3Ds in some of the scenes?
How the fuck could you not be sure of that? It looks like complete shit compared to the 2D stuff. = \
Yes and confirmed.

berserker burger made out of 100%meat of all soldiers killed in war.. the macho burger!
The Berserker Burger tastes like rape and comes in two flavors; Shouta & NTR
Nah, it tastes like blood and guts.
"Nah, it tastes like blood and guts."
If it takes like Guts, Griffith will order a dozen! Zing!
Every time I think I've seen it all, something has to go and remind me that the randomness of anime is infinite.
Gutts I can easily visualize, but damn, Griffith. This shilling out is annoying.
Well...the OVA better not get infected with external crap.
The use of berserk for this kind of advertising was totally out of place and that's all I have to say on that.
Moving on, this is looking like it'll be good to watch. I owned the anime and read the whole manga, and am hoping the hiatus will be over soon (The chapters are published slow enough as it is). So I've got every reason to enjoy it.
If this is popular enough, hopefully once they've finished the golden age series of films, they'll think about a follow up covering the main story. I'd love to see that animed, brutal as it'll be. >_>
Is anyone else laughing their ass off?
Without reading anything, I looked at the picture and played the video, hoping for a McDonalds advertisement. I was disappointed. *Sniffle*
Holy shit! I cant wait.
I think he is eating a tofu burger :-)
Koreans have a distinct look from Japanese and Chinese people?
New Berserk should start from where the old one ends.
this is gonna be sooo awesome!!!
Lets play a Berserk drinking game. Take a drink every time Casca gets molested.
FInish the bottle every time she gets raped...
berserkburger.. burger that could transform macho/strongman become a shemal
berserkless more fitting name :)
I wand to read Chapter 326 and the next... Not watch a bad remake (8 ou 9 books in one movie ? Don't bother, it will be bad...).
Me too, but I want them to get to Elfheim even more!!
Damn it Miura !! We need some updates... Please
omg... this only needs Ronald Mcdonald as a templar knight
now you know to have to be careful when you choose your sponsors
What is this shit?
Can't wait to see this in the movie!
If the head of lotteria is hacked to death with a claymore, everyone at sankakucomplex will know why.
You mean hacked to death with the Dragonslayer, and then blown to bits with a hand-cannon, right?
This is Golden Age Guts
Now if the president is murdered with a claymore and a few years down the line his successors dumb enough to make another advertisement then it would be settled with a dragonslayer handcannon combo
Griffith soda - Tastes like killing thousands of people and walking over their corpses.
Guts burger - Tastes like stealing someone's friends and lover.
And apparently with a Guts Burger, you eat it vertically... because that's how men eat burgers... vertically... and with an expression that looks simultaneously quizzical and constipated. Neither of which are attributes I could or would want to see for Guts. Except perhaps if they can make more of the best outtakes in the history of media, with Serenity a close second :D
