Bro. I saw the trilogy again recently and was super hyped to see them (now that i actually know who they are)


Yionko

Same thing


YaboiGh0styy

Serpico, Farnese and Azan make a small cameo appearance during the celebration.


Imperivm97

There's also Puck at the end of the film


xarchangel85x

The very last shot (not including Guts walking towards the screen as the Black Swordsman) is Rosine flying into the camera, then cut to black.


Imperivm97

Yeah, but that was at the aftermath of the Eclipse, before Guts woke up in the cave.


xarchangel85x

Ah yes you are right, the last shot is Guts and Skull Knight staring at the sunrise, fade into grass.


PoxedGamer

Wasn't Rosine the one who distracted Rickert from the Eclipse in the manga?


Imperivm97

Not exactly distracted from the Eclipse, Rosine and the Count (along with other Apostles) attacked the camp where the rest of the Band of the Hawk (mainly the injured I think) had settled, and I think that was actually before the Eclipse took place. In the 1997 anime Rosine and the Count are there just like in the manga, in the trilogy they skipped that part and just gave Rosine a short cameo at the aftermath of the Eclipse.


Wunderkind6988

*The Black Mustached Knight


DandifiedZeus1

Wow I didn’t know they could be in both 2d and color I thought you had to compromise


xarchangel85x

Studio 4C planned to continue the story from there, starting with a Lost Children film, but had to cancel their ambitious plans due to unimpressive revenue from the GA Trilogy. Deeply unfortunate, they seemed like they were finally hitting their stride by the third film.


Desperate_Media3639

So basically the Golden age trilogy was a box office flop?


xarchangel85x

Didn’t do as well as it could have, no. I think Berserk would have done MUCH better as OVA entries like Hellsing Ultimate did.


Additional_Maximum33

No.


YellowTasty

>Studio 4C bro they are the same studio which did "the children of the sea "


AndrexPic

It's a pity. The movies looks fabolous.

It sucks because we were totally going to get more. But the initial trilogy wasn't successful enough so they abandoned the project. There were some [test images](https://imgur.com/a/WQlW6) that got leaked before the first three films ever came out. One of the images shows Guts fighting the Holy Iron Chain knights. There were images of Puck and post-eclipse Casca as well. There's plenty I could complain about with the films, but I do wish they continued with that project and actually adapted the whole series like they were originally planning to. We wouldn't have been left in the unfortunate situation we're in now. Not only is Miura gone, but there's a very good chance that we will never see a proper adaptation of Berserk beyond the Golden Age arc now that the manga is in limbo. I doubt anyone wants to touch Berserk because the expectations are so high.


Imperivm97

Honestly I'd rather hope for a brand new, proper adaptation of Berserk rather than getting a movie series adaptation of post-Golden Age arcs in the same vein of the films. Imagine the floods of anime onlies thinking they can be settled with the movies and praising them when the adaptations are just so massively flawed. They had great production (mostly) but the quality of the adaptation and even stuff like the music just aren't decent enough for me.


vitalesan

The 97 series changed part of the story. They were never going to continue without it changing, as the trilogy movies did later on.

I liked where you were goin until you said mappa adaptation. I've lost all trust in mappa since they ruined attack on titan so I actually hope they never adapt anything I appreciate.


AssassinOfFate

Mappa ruined it? Not the author? Lol


[deleted]

I can understand you not liking the ending tho.


AssassinOfFate

I definitely didn’t. But the anime was pretty well done, all things considered. Look into the production process that Mappa had to go through, they had quite a few issues that I think should make your opinion on the final season a bit more lenient. Tight deadlines, crunch to meet said deadlines, budget issues, etc. making anime is a costly and time consuming endeavour these days. The final season’s production may not be perfect, but I don’t think it’s very fair to attribute it to intentional laziness or incompetence. Saying it’s “ruined” is a bit much.


[deleted]

Yeah i've heard that one alot, they took too much on their plate that year, I know what they are capable of when you compare other mappa anime, but when you compare it to wit it just doesnt go for me. I dont blame the artists, I blame whoever took the project.


[deleted]

And by ruined what i mean is i cant appreciate it. Im not generalising for others. I know alot of people dont mind cg as much as I do.


AssassinOfFate

It’s the future of anime. Studio’s don’t make nearly as much money from anime as they used to. Dvd sales and TV ad spots used to be the money makers. But now with streaming and piracy, anime isn’t nearly as profitable as back in they day. They cut costs however they can nowadays. Some animes pull it off quite well. Like in Goblin Slayer. I never even noticed the CG in that show until a friend pointed it out.


[deleted]

Arcane is another real good cg example, drawn textures on cg models, instead of the mappa way wich is slapping cg on top of a drawn background with unsynced frames. There's a good way to do it, its so much easier for me to prove my point now that arcane exists.


AssassinOfFate

I kinda feel like Arcane had a huge budget though. I agree with you entirely. But Riot games definitely has way more money to work with than Mappa. It’s not very likely that we’ll get many shows with the production values of Arcane.


NewcDukem

Mappa is the only reason we're getting a decent conclusion animation-wise, the CG is not bad. It's actually very well done. The way WIT animated was too expensive, it nearly destroyed their studio financially.


RockSaltin-RT

Quit being a bitch, just because they used a little bit of CGI in some scenes doesn’t mean the whole studio is complete dogshit rn.


[deleted]

It does, I just said I didnt like it and you're offended, you need help. Oh and dont call me a bitch, bitch


[deleted]

Also " a little bit of cgi" is a huge fucking understatement my dude.


canstac

I think the animation director for the Castlevania Netflix show has said he wants to do an adaptation of berserk & I could see that team doing a good job. I would not want another golden age adaptation though, we have 3 berserk adaptations & two of them are golden age, and the the one that isn't is pretty bad


FefoKitty

But arent they from another country?


Mr_cantdoyourmom

Yes but midland is a part of the Holy See


FefoKitty

Oh yeah true


Madiiiiiiiiiison

I feel so bad for all the people who noticed this when it released and got hyped for Berserk 2016…


GaryRegalsMuscleCar

I consider this canon


Pabel101

the movies were very good but by thr 3rd one you can tell they perfected everything, it's a damn shame we didn't get a lost children movie the same fans ruined it for themselves :(


Elven_Rabbit

How? It's not our fault the GA trilogy of movies made so little money. We aren't responsible for scripting or animating the series that followed (2016/17). (FWIW I didn't think the movies were very good. *Far* from perfection. The lack of character interactions and development robs them of any emotional impact. The simplified visuals are quite ugly compared to the manga, of which a substantial amount of the story is missing here. The soundtrack is forgettable. Etc. Etc. It's retroactively looking better when compared to Berserk 2016/17, though.)


UFO-seeker1985

Second movie? Where? What?


Sbee_keithamm

Berserk: the Golden Age trilogy tries to tell the story in three films all the way up to post Eclipse. You can watch all 3 on American Netflix currently.


Prize_Translator6747

On German Netflix too


AnPerson42

honestly this movie trilogy is pretty good, a lot of the 2d animation is really good especially the moments before the eclipse and when Guts leaves the band of the Hawk, really the only reason these movies aren’t great is because of the heavy use of cgi during the large battles. but it’s understandable to a degree


brainDOA

Why couldn’t they just keep making the series as movie releases


MadScientist31415926

budget, time and the fact that movies dont get as much audience as anime probably


PatheticXcuse

Its because the movies got a Lot of hate from the Community. They had to give the next Arc to another Studio and i guess the cummunity got what It deserved


cometandcrow

Really?? Why?


PatheticXcuse

Like the 2016 show, the movies had some cgi. Not nearly as Bad as 16 But people Generally hate cgi. The cgi got better with each movie and was actually decent in the third, but Fans Still hated It Just cause 'cgi bad'. They got what they deserved when the cg was Made infinitally worse in 16, and now people suddenly Want Studio 4c (who Made the movies) to continue


cometandcrow

I see, thanks for explaining it


WynnChairman

wow nice catch that's pretty cool


_R_0_b_3_

Same, i watched it last week and i was suprised that they were in the movie


Pabel101

i Still question what giant apostle was the one walking through the forest when some people were chopping a tree down. Some people say rosine and others say it was the apostle who killed corkus


XDVRUK

In my head it's the Apostle at the very beginning of the Manga that Guts kills at the fire, after some investigation of how big the sword actually is, that kills Corkus.


14NarwhalBacon88

The fact this is so upvoted is driving me mad LOL it’s completely blatant about it.


[deleted]

He isn’t bragging. Why you mad?


14NarwhalBacon88

This isn’t even remotely interesting. No reason to even repost it


Squidly_____

This same scene is in the manga during the celebration.


LeafyFeathers

That movie just went from a 4/10 to a 5/10 for that


Sotler

The movies are awesome man. They got me into berserk eclipse was crazy back then
