As befits its “18+” rating, Berserk III’s latest trailer confirms all the blood, violence and rape from the “golden age” finale is present in spades – not least offering a brief glimpse of the “exceedingly strong and provocative sexual depictions” which earned it the rating and provoked so much interest from fans.
That honestly looks very impressive. I've never read any of the manga and no literally nothing about the franchise, but this sure as hell makes me want to buy the mangas and see this movie!
R-18 would affect the sales, so they cut and/or made editions to some parts (I asume) so that it would fit a R-15.
...
Although, people already say that the 2nd movie (R-15) was already very explicit and graphic, so I asume that the "original" version of the 3rd film despicted a penis or something....
It's tone quite changed, but what do you expect? It's written since about twenty years now. Miura was in his mid-twenties when he started, now he is in his late forties. And the grimdark mood of the first half may something hard to hold on for such a long time, Miura might just be tired of writing about gorefests, rape and murder. I'm not saying such a royal change is necessarily a good thing, but it's kinda expected. I still like it, though. Even if it's more shounen-like right now. If at least he would update regulary, so we could progress with the story...
As much as i love Berserk i HATE the cgi, you would think by now they would be able to make something that didn't look so dated and irritatingly obtrusive
I can't wait to see it. Hopefully it is better than the books have been lately, I really wish they'd kill off schierke and all the other lame characters in it.
I also find Schierke annoying as hell. But whatever. I just wish Miura would kill any of them (except Guts and Caska), so that everything goes dark and hellish again. It´s been a little bit "too happy" for me lately.
...but Caska is supposed to regain her sanity. Personally, I am more curious as to how she will react once this happens, than the little infatuation Schierke is feeling right now for Guts
Schierke crushing over Guts is understandable seeing that little girls do crush over older men. They will get over this 'puppy love' eventually.
Now, I'm curious about Caska regaining sanity, but knowing Berserk, she probably will become another kind of insane when the traumatic memories start coming back.
No movie or series of movies is going to replace the manga for detail and depth. But for what it is it looks great!
I only wish Kentaro Miura would get his shit back together and start putting out chapters on a regular basis. It's the eternal waiting around that's making this latest arc suck so bad.
Ummm...yeah, nothing to get excited about. I want content well beyond what was covered by the anime from years ago.
I second the many voices calling for more chapters on a more regular basis. All good things MUST come to an end...let's wrap this up before you die (or the world ends), Sensei!
Yay~
YAHOOOO!~

not bad.
Fuck yeah.
Eirin changed the "R18" rating to "R15+".
explain the joke

we can only hope we get an uncut bluray or dvd edition
DAT FACE
should I read the manga or the movies r enough :?
manga is x10000 better than movies or series
it's crime to not read berserk and just watch this crappy movie!
Watch the movies first, read the manga later. Maximum enjoyment.
what he/she said. Else, you might get a little bit dissapointed when you watch the movies
The manga is a filet mignon.
The movies are a Happy Meal.
That's the difference.
I'm just waiting for the 4th Movie.. I want to see The continuation from the TV series, animated :) waiting for Shcierke (^0^)
Next comes the Black Swordsman...apparently, the next one to be animated would the Lost Children
Uh...have they read the manga? It's violent, bloody, gore filled.
Great series...well...this current arc blows.
And by "current arc" I mean the Fantasia arc, not the Golden Age.
It is getting a bit dull, isn't it?
It is more because of the hiatus time and again. Curse you, idolm@ster!
The only answer is, for Miura as much as we fans: make him do a Idolm@aster crossover.
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

The land of the elves only has idols in it.
Yes, sadly Berserk has been average for years now... :/
HORSE RAPE! lol, but yeah I agree. Nothing is shocking from Japan anymore. Seen it all and know it all.
Try harder Japan, YAWN!!!
WARNING: Getting too involved in the characters' feelings will result in severe loss of emotional control.

Stop bitching with the cgi.
I can't wait to see it. Hopefully it is better than the books have been lately, I really wish they'd kill off schierke and all the other lame characters in it.
The little witch is the best character, by far. The author can kill off the annoying brat and the stupid elf.
I also find Schierke annoying as hell. But whatever. I just wish Miura would kill any of them (except Guts and Caska), so that everything goes dark and hellish again. It´s been a little bit "too happy" for me lately.
Why not Caska? She's out of her mind anyway and would otherwise just get in the way of the romance of guts and the little witch.
Little witch sucks. Just a moe-wanna be.
Besides, she is too young for Guts. It´s more like a father-daughter relationship.
...but Caska is supposed to regain her sanity. Personally, I am more curious as to how she will react once this happens, than the little infatuation Schierke is feeling right now for Guts

Looks pretty awesome to me.

"But the manga is so much better, stupid movies!!"
Yeah, that shit is ridiculous.. Looks awesome and looks like it will do the Eclipse justice with the glimpses it showed.
the 3rd movie looks better than the 1st movie
so it's just a newer version of the older movie? was hoping for new content
How about watching the trailer stupid?
Ummm...yeah, nothing to get excited about. I want content well beyond what was covered by the anime from years ago.

He's gonna croak a la Kaoru Kurimoto (Guin Saga) before finishing Berserk if he doesn't get his act together.
Meh, same old same old from Japan. NEXT!
Hell Yeah!!! Berserk!!!
My otakugasm reaches 50th level!!
Yousa people gonna rape?
It's being resubmitted for an R15+ rating. That news broke days ago.
fucking epic... where can i get it??
gore and rape, indeed, but what is the problem?
i saw that 10 years ago in the anime.
I saw more than 20, big fat harry deal.
I feel young...I saw that 3 or 4 years ago.
Oh my god, only ten years ago, so lame, right?!
Jeez, man, subtle way to go boasting about a completely irrelevant thing.
And please do explain how you saw the anime 20 years ago, with that being 1992, when the anime came out in 1997, smartass.
