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.
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!
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....
I liked the violence of Berserk in manga and anime, but what i think is really the best thing of Berserk is it´s history and especially how characters evolve PSYCHOLOGICALLY. If they cannot plasm that in the big screen, then is a failed Berserk movie. Don´t get me wrong, for sure the movies are very enjoyable, but it´s imposible to show in so few hours the complex world of Berserk in all it´s esplendor. Pardon my horrible english.
Man, I hate fucking Cel Shading CGI they doing. Least this was more 2D and wow, it looked AWESOME.
It looked like Femto's outfit was missing the incredible texture Kentaro Miura-sama drew. Which looks incredibly and like a H.R Giger piece. In this it looked just black? Saw no Wylad.
Cel Shaded is a shit style for 3D and just a bullshit attempt to appease people that whine about 3D. "Oh if it looks 2D it all good". NO because cel shading actually loses detail in the lighting and actually present less detail, due to issues with shading etc. Combined with the animation usually sucking. Seriously how hard is it for Japanese animators to animate 3d properly? You do it in a lot of games, but do a lot of motion capture in those. Wonder why. Whenever I see the Cel shaded stuff in Animes, it stands out so much and the animation sucks in comparison to the 2D.
The CGI should look like Advent Children and have the animation quality of Studio Ghibli. Even the great visuals of Advent Children. Suffered issues of weight portrayal in the animation. Same with Resident Evil CGI movie. Seriously what is with Leon's run and walk in it? Your arms MOVE when you run as a balance, but in the movie just looked like Biped walk in Max. Lack of weight makes everything look all fake.
The whole demon rape in berserk is overstated. There's only like one or two panels and it's nothing most here haven't seen. It's depressing, sure, but it's not really Taimanin Asagi level stuff here.
The most obscene scene in the entire manga is when Guts and Casca get it on, which is a lovey dovey scene (except for a short panel, but heck you can't blame a guy for wantin' to choke a bitch in the heat of the moment)
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...
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!
Usually you could argue that video game journalists have great experience with games, might offer indepth analysis and insights the average user wouldn't think of.... More
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.
He's gonna croak a la Kaoru Kurimoto (Guin Saga) before finishing Berserk if he doesn't get his act together.
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.

Eirin changed the "R18" rating to "R15+".
DAT FACE
explain the joke
we can only hope we get an uncut bluray or dvd edition

Agreed. The first movie felt a bit disappointing to me because of that. It can't help but to feel rushed (for obvious reasons).

I still think Casca isn't dark enough, too yellowish.
So your a black racist being racist towards asians?
And 'your' a sensitive little yellow boy that sees racists everywhere?
Want me to call Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton so you can cry together and have a biscuit soree aftewards?
And you, sir, need to learn to recognize a joke when you see one.
Plus, *you're
Kentaro Miura despicted Caska several tones darker. I like both versions, but personally I prefer her darker skin.
yeah, if I wanted to see yellow chinks I'd read _no manga ever_
i didn't see any sexual parts in the trailer, oe it was too fast
I can see dead Judeau on the third picture...
oh, hell, I´m gonna cry again with this movie
now this is an anime...
fucking epic... where can i get it??
WARNING: Getting too involved in the characters' feelings will result in severe loss of emotional control.
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.
And please do explain how you saw the anime 20 years ago, with that being 1992, when the anime came out in 1997, smartass.
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.
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!!!
not bad.
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!
Fuck yeah.
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.
