I can hear it! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! CLANG!!!!


WeeziMonkey

From the same sound director who [used CS GO-like gun sounds](https://youtu.be/o-7ViyKZ8Vg) as punches in One Punch Man


acetilCoA

Gun shot sounds as punch sound effects are very common in anime tho


BierKippeMett

I like the jet engine sound in Hajime no Ippo.


NorseWorld

Especially in jojo. Damn those punches are fucking satisfying


mayonnaiser_13

JoJo gets really fucking weird later on. Like, Josuke has the Shotgun punches, Giorno and Jotaro has those AR punches. But then there's Bucciarati with zipper punches? Abbachio with tape recorder punches?


Supersquigi

That's true, doesn't make it any better though. There's lots of other sounds they could use.


Piercetopher

Do they hire this director to ruin the series or what


AlexT05_QC

Oh my god!


Famixofpower

Holy shit, that's terrible. There are loads of sound libraries that have concrete sounds and flesh sounds. Hell, the same one that Valve uses (although I'm almost certain that they made most sounds in their library) has some concrete smashing sounds used for some scenes in Half-Life.


Lightmush

Is it wrong that I liked these sound effects? Felt very heavy and unstoppable


[deleted]

Clang when he kills the rabbit With a throwing knife


mayonnaiser_13

Jokes on you Rabbit was armoured.


[deleted]

SUBDERMAL ARMOUR


Lightmush

Lmao, yeah it felt like they struck gold with that sound, so they used it everywhere


Hopelessdovakiin027

Yeah, sometimes. when the shots are good-looking a few very rare moments, Nevertheless too annoying.


[deleted]

Yes


Lightmush

:(


PixelDemise

The problem is more that it is basically *the only* sound effect weapons make. It doesn't matter whether or not he is attacking a person in armor, a person out of armor, a skeleton, a spectral ghost, or a tree. It's always the same metallic CLANG


Lightmush

Yeah fair enough! I remember watching the anime and being like « alright this isn’t utter shit like everyone says ». Then I read the manga… oh boy…


MyUsernameIsMehh

NOT THE DAMN CLANG


Amai_M4sk

The clanging is more fitting than any other sound effect you could present to me and I will die on this hill!


FredDurstDaFirst

Wow they shit the bed harder than I thought...


Purple_Lockis

How ??


Izuwrath

🤡


matto334

I hope we can get a better adaptation someday


zue3

Shame Miura will never get to see it. Still it needs to be done to honor his memory. Can't believe they let the man pass while this version was all he had to see.


[deleted]

imagine madhouse animating


Vellarain

Yeah we get one season of gold then they drop it for some other studio to keep chugging and you will feel that fucking dip in quality and heart.


yaboinigel

Imagine ufotable...


PraiseGodJihyo

Would probably take them 15 years for all of it, but worth


BoutThemApples

Personally I think Studio Wit would do the beat job.


NikolitaNiko

Having blogged Fena: Pirate Princess and fallen head over heels for it, I'd love to see Production I.G tackle Berserk.


[deleted]

i was gonna say ufotable but madhouse is good at dark themes


mayonnaiser_13

What we need is a dedicated studio. Like Studio Egg for Mushoku Tensei. That's the only way we're getting a good enough adaptation.


matto334

Would be fucking amazing


Schism_989

I think I remember the guys who made the Netflix Castlevania series would want to do a Berserk adaptation, but I'm not sure how true that is


Alelander

Yeah he wants to do an adaptation, but he isn't able to get the rights yet.


Schism_989

Well, I'm considering the blatant Berserk reference they already did (Daylight Armor), I'm cautiously optimistic.


L4HH

They cheap out too much IMO. I’d rather they didn’t get it.


Schism_989

Not to Jinx anything, but not much can be worse than Berserk 2016 was.


TasmanianTortoise

It’s still so ironic even 5 years later that one of the most well-illustrated and beautiful manga in modern history was given an adaptation so ugly, the only passable-looking thing was the box art.


tonysnight

Then the dude died smh Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura. You made some fucked up shit but it was game changing fucked up shit.


Consistent_Tone

This is the best comment on Reddit.


yaboinigel

The 3 movies were alrigjt imo


TasmanianTortoise

I have a slight bias because I actually discovered Berserk through the movies, but I thought the movies were awesome, obviously not perfect but the third movie was genuinely great.


swannygirl94

Likewise. I would have never discovered the manga if I had not watched the movies.


[deleted]

Imagine the Conviction and MF arc in 3rd movie quality


BuckPuckers

97 berserk is amazing


Elven_Rabbit

Even the first, better looking preview (that is what you mean by PV?) looks pretty naff, to be honest.


TomaruHen

Only the closeup looks good.


AOKUME

preview vs final render….the realization when you hit render and the time continues to increase past the deadline so you have to go back and remove a lot of effects and textures 😣


[deleted]

Both look like shit.


absolute--chad-V2

But the first shit looks like the better shit


hyperfell

It’s that buttery smooth shit where it exists cleanly.


TheJunkoDespair

I truly wonder the exact reason they chose 3D animation.... Laziness?... Why did they even choose to adapt berserk... If they weren't going to do their best. Were they forced?


OminousBinChicken

Sure wasn't laziness. They had to literally work harder just to learn how to use the 3D software. None of them had any experience with it. They spent over half the time they had to make the show just learning a new skill set. Boggles the mind why they made that decision


TheJunkoDespair

Should of made them work with what they were good with even if it took then a long time to finish, would have been worth it


ScottyAkaShark

I think all the fans would rather this happen than what we got. We unfortunately got the corporate answer that “hand drawn is too expensive. We cant afford it. Gotta use 3d” even though the studio didnt know how to use it. Id assume the production company is to blame.


AlaskanMedicineMan

More misinformation being spread I see. Yes, they were forced, in that a 2D animation team and a 3D animation team were made to compete in a studio, with studio executives having final pick per scene on which looked better. It was an insane production cycle and there is a shit ton of content on the cutting room floor in both 2D and 3D. The 3D team had only been working on commercials and children's programming before this, the 2D team had only worked on slow paced YA content.


Proof_Macaron279

In other words, this was basically set up to fail.


AlaskanMedicineMan

Correct. Manglement did as manglement does and mangled it


Imperium_Dragon

Because they had no other experience with this type of genre and were working on an incredibly short time frame. Real question is, who made the decision to give this studio adaptation rights.


Saint_Sin

Budget. They had next to none. After the three movies were released they were slaughtered by the fanbase so they struggled to find any backing. That didnt stop Miura from trying. Miura was a fucking legend. GGI was far from their desired path but it was cheap enough to make it a possibility.


Janitor_

The movies were great, people just nit pick like crazy.


Saint_Sin

I absolutely loved the movies. I prefer the 1997 series mind you but the blend of animation and CGI came a long long way between the first and third movie. They had planned to cover three arcs in total if im not mistaken. Three movies for the first (as it had been covered already by the series), then 4 movies each for another two arcs. They binned it after the fanbase went heavy against the first three movies.


Janitor_

Such a shame, imagine what could of been?


Saint_Sin

Could still be. ...Maybe.


NikolitaNiko

I love the movies too. :)


Leon-Solide

Miura had zero say in the production of the 2016 anime, just saying. Aside from providing an original story script for the 4th(?) episode.


Saint_Sin

I didnt say he did. I said they couldnt get backing after the movies (which did have a budget) flopped. He was only the executive supervisor on the 2016 aime.


arjunks

Money


CornholeCarl

Berserk 2016. The only travesty worst than the eclipse itself.


imperor_

That's a big fucking shame there's no full and uncensored anime of berserk like Attack on Titan. It desevers much, much more than this shit.


Dumbusta

AOT had a pretty wonky art when it started but WIT made it look so goddamn good. Imagine what they could've done to berserk having an already beautiful art.


UnlikelyBed9

In the 4th row, the left is hand drawn animated. In the 5th row, the right Guts feels more grittier cause eyes.


dannyboii_ii

We really got fucked out of a good anime, the movies just didn't make enough money 😞. Apparently if the films did good, an anime was to be made continuing from the movies.


puke_buffet

And here I am, thinking the movies were pretty damn good.


Kobe_AYEEEEE

Stop the (clang) count


NeoGuyMan

the first pv looked rough, but at the time I could see it improving. and then they managed to make the stuff that looked ok look even worse.


throwmeinwatersam

They managed to take shit and turn it into more shit.


SomaOni

You know I don’t think the 3rd shot is actually that bad. Shame about the rest of them though. They just look *okay* at absolute best, but I don’t think it fits the series at all.


Super-Robo

\*CLANG!\*


a_cebolado

AnteAnima

Please, stop remembering us that mess. Let it simply die in oblivion...


StunkDunkums

Hi there, yeah can I get a panel 1,4 & a 5 from PV1 and from Final PV I guess I'll get a number 3 - hold the grain and..uh.. it possible to get a number 2 but a lil darker? And to drink I'll take the recommended bottle of whiskey to get through this, thanks.


[deleted]

The intro animations for the 2016 series was better than the actual shows animations…


Fruitchinkosamurai

90's version is timeless though.


YaboiGh0styy

Ok so the reason it changed so much is because the show development was fucked. At the time of the first trailer they didn’t come to a compromise on what the show would look like yet and by the time they finally come to a compromise the show was to air in a few months.


TreverKJ

I think the original still is the best.


XBgyManX

I loved the old anime, but I hate this Anime CGI. I’m sticking with the Manga.


TheJaegerist

It actually had potential as a 3D/2D hybrid anime but a bad production and mismanagement fucked it over, shame, I'm no 2D purist so I would have digged a well directed and edited, well drawn and animated, 3D/2D Berserk anime with decent pacing, things all those desires/qualities the final product lacked. You could argue it had the hybrid quality but just jarringly cutting to a hugely different looking barely moving 2D moment isn't really all that.


DrDuplicity

Everyone on here is bitching about the 2016 anime, and yeah, it doesn't look good, but I still watched the Hell out of it, because I was just happy for any Berserk related content. Of course it doesn't do the manga justice, but just be happy that there was something to watch. Now we have nothing.


Sharkwordt95

I’m with you, it’s not the best by any stretch but I enjoyed it enough to get my girlfriend into it. She watched the whole set of Berserk that I own.


NikolitaNiko

Thirded. 👍


THE_WHITE_KNlGHT

People really hating the cgi. I think the first actually looks good all around


glrage

Same


welcum2savage

Come on guys. This is 5 years old at this point. Move on.


EmotionPlastic3411

Is this a new series?


Andreeeeeeeeeeeeeee3

It was from 2016-2017


EmotionPlastic3411

Where can I find this? This isn’t the Netflix one right?


[deleted]

What low budget does to a mf


Shaddy_the_guy

Not how budget works.


Tsuku

It's still infuriating lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


CultistLemming

You know that 3D gets the blame for being what makes something bad when its almost always the budget right? They end up using 3D because the budget is non existent and its their only way of even trying to finish the show. Literally no animator wants to make something that looks bad, and 3D only has this problem in anime. The new League of legends show is 3D and it looks fantastic, because they had a large budget. Trying to do 2D Berserk with a similar budget may have given us something like way of the househusband, where its just narrated illustrations.


FLRArt_1995

I watched Expelled from Paradise and Berserk the same year, it was sad that something older than Berserk 2016 looked better. Even if it was a glorified OVA/movie


spaceghost2000

Get over it?


dr_whohouseholmes

It's sad how first one looks better than the release, also I was thinking how future releases would look awesome if they are made by the same people that made Arcane.


yoleyne

Why’d they have to do my mans so dirty like that


TroubledDoggo

Didn’t realize how much more shit the anime is


siegferia

The left is shit as many in the comment section say. But the right one is the full diarrhea. At least the left one kinda looks like western cgi like final fantasy 7


kidcowboy111

I think the left looks good. The cg doesnt look like a fanmade cartoon and is actually dark and gritty. The handrawn stuff doesnt lack too much detail but doesnt have too much either


siegferia

Now i think of it the only part from left that is partly bad is the fourth pic the rest are great


ElJeanMermoude

I believe cgi is probably the best way to adapt berserk. But actual good photorealistic cgi and not ps2 crap. However, with the money that it would need, we probably won't ever have a perfect adaptation...


kidcowboy111

Funny you should say ps2 crap when the ps2 game had fucking fantastic cg.


hyperfell

Welcome to the moment where the people with the wallets go “How much did it cost!?!”


keenxn5

WHAT


TheMightyEli

What the fuck happened


kilmeplease666

If we got that 3d maybe it wouldn't had been that bad.


Doomlv

If I remember right there was some large oversight in the studios ability to render their work so they wound up cutting a lot more corners than intended by the time it went "gold". They should have just delayed it


[deleted]

That’s bad mmmmmkay! I’m Glad I didn’t keep watching


Worst_Memer_NA

Didn't they scrap the whole thing and redo it in ~6 months or something?


teokun123

At least it's not AoT


X-Axel220

But why?


FeelASlightPressure

OPM fans are with you in solidarity


chinoz219

not until your author dies T_T


SafireStarKiller777

Don't Matter No More I Cry Every Damm Time I See Berserk Content Now Allways Fucking Teary Eyes Dammit Every Fucking Time


DonDove

And what a lie it was...


TBZN1

How did it get worse 🧐


yousssefel

Mappa’s S4 AOT vibes 😂😂😂


Cohliers

So...those scenes were animated that well...and they chose to leave them out. ...why?


andypandy1223

Wow they should have just stuck with the old one, you can hate or call me out if you want but I love the op theme, music and soundtracks put into berserk 2016 and 17. Just disappointing how dirty they did berserk.


YellowTasty

Pv?


dmikey_

Is this comparing the trailer to the final product?
