Featured review
If you can sever all ties between this and the original, it may be worth a watch, if nothing else, to hear a new story involving Guts
If you loved the original Berserk (1997) manga adaption as much as I did, you'll no doubt be drawn to this long anticipated continuation
As a preface, this series lacks everything that made the original series great:
A sense of relatability with these flawed but human characters, an emotional, beautiful musical score, and a well-paced story with haunting glimpses of the unknown within an otherwise realistic world.
On a positive note, the new series does contain some new characters of intrigue and sheds some light on some elements from the original series that weren't fully explained.
As a negative, the story moves too fast in contrast to the original. Any recurring characters from the original are barely recognizable, having lost the original personality traits that defined them, making us hard to care about them. Lastly, the CGI animation is atrocious to say the least, just watch the trailer on youtube.
But ultimately, as a whole I got very little enjoyment/fulfillment from the series and at times found myself forcefully trudging through just to get to the end. .
The bottom line:
If you are a Berserk fanatic, but not a manga reader and simply MUST see where the story goes, it is worth a watch. Just take it with a grain of salt that this new series shares just the title of the original, but none of the same substance.
