NHK bhs Berserk thing
The manga is a masterpiece, a must read for anybody sufficiently mature to appreciate it in it's entirety
But have you seen the Golden Age Memorial Edition?
The scene of guts cutting his hand off is the most realistic and brutal amputation I've seen in anything. When it comes to the hand drawn bits, this is the best berserk has ever looked animated. Heck, the cg grass during the water scene looks incredible.
i cant say how realistic it is since i dont tend to watch people cut off there limbs ahahah i saw 127 hours a while back though
@@Stevem as someone who has seen that either by sheer dumb curiosity or by accident, its shockingly real.
@@Stevem you can even see the bone and tendons, its almost like some poor lad had to watch real videos to animate it properly.
But did the ending make any sense? Did any of it make any sense since Guts left his friends? Griffith's aim was to achieve his dream no matter what the cost but the moment Guts leaves, Griffith throws everything out of the window and destroys himself. This show's ending is 100x worse than Game of Thrones. Writer was out of ideas during the end of movie 2 and the movie 3 is full of sex and weird creatures made by a 5 yr old.
@@AnkitYadav7_ The story is further implied in the manga with 300 more chapters, and is now being continued by the deceased author's assistants.
in my opinion i think the best part of these movies is how nicely all the noses are drawn, guts' nose is so shockingly cute sometimes, 10/10 completely changed the way i draw faces
but to be more serious i really like the way everyone in these movies is drawn, they found a way to reeally simplify miura's art but still keep the charm, if they couldve done the golden age as a series of OVAs hellsing ultimate style then maybe they couldve fit everything in there
hmm the noses are good
This trilogy was my gateway to berserk. During the lockdown last year i was bored and itching for something to fill the witcher/dark souls vibes i had been missing. Gave berserk a chance and wow did these films make me fall in love. From a newbie POV i felt it was an amazing epic. I went on to watching the old anime after that to get more background before finally buying the deluxe editions of the manga. I think looking back at it all the studio was improving in such an amazing way and I disagree with the hate they get. I would love for them to return and make the black swordsman arc next! That could fit into a nice trilogy followed by lost children for another trio of films.
I also got into reading the manga after watching the movies. I disagree with Steven on the last movie's execution of the Eclipse. I think they animated it superbly. After watching it I *desperately* had to read the manga.
Depending on your initial exposure to Berserk you are most likely going to be fond of that specific version. For example if it was the manga then you watched this movie you will be criticizing it at every turn because of how condensed and how much stuff they changed and cut out. The movie lacks a lot, it doesn't give the time to develop the characters and their motivations as much as the Manga and even the original anime. I was constantly comparing the two but someone new wouldn't be.
Same I watched the movies then started reading the manga from the start
Same with me I watched the first movie of the trilogy on a whim and after that had to consume the whole story so any and all iterations I have watched and for the most part loved except 2017 but I still enjoyed just seeing my guy tear shit up even if the animation was janky
When you actively cut out 50% of all character interactions, including the most pivotal ones, you deserve the hate.
These are almost fine, as a way to pique interest. Otherwise, they are terrible adaptations.
Hi, I come for the future, they are currently doing a memorial edition of these movies. They are changing the format from movies to TV format (20-25 minutes each episode) and improving many, MANY existing cuts. They are also adding some of the cut content/scenes such as the campfire of dreams + adding new music from Hirasawa and Shiro.
The memorial edition will be released in October this year
It's streaming on oct, gonna have to complete w chainsawman and bleach :(
What a refreshing take on the Berserk trilogy done by Studio 4c, thank you so much for your coverage of the studio! The creator of Netflix' Castlevania has stated he would love to adapt Berserk, but with the success of Castlevania, I'm not sure if we will see it anytime soon!
powerhouse does a lot of outsourcing to korea so it maybe in name only
I don’t think Warren Ellis (Castlevania showrunner) would be able too adapt it now after being outed for sexual harassment some years ago. It’s because of that revelation that they cancelled the series after season 4.
@@themikx2939 I wouldn't want Ellis anywhere near Berserk anyway powerhouse the animation studio is a completely separate thing to some shitty washed up comic writer , I believe it wasn't him who commented on Berserk it would have been the producer and maybe Sam deats the animation director
@@Stevem I wouldn't say he was shitty or washed up since everything he was involved with was crazy popular and actually good. He was canceled because of the allegations and not for any lack of quality in his writing.
@@ivanmladja24 was the show canceled or was some predator fired?
'Canceled' isn't something an adult says about a person and their dogshit behavior to their staff.
I agree with almost everything that you said except for the eclipse. The fact that the movie did not need to censor itself and Skull Knight existing in this adaptation meant that the arc had an actual ending; because of that I found the movie version of the eclipse better in every way in comparison to the original anime series.
I remember being pissed off after watching the original ending of Berserk because it was not even an ending, the series kind of just ended in the middle of scene without any since of conclusion whatsoever.
I am hoping that the Powerhouse Animation
, the animation team behind Castlevania gets to pick up Berserk and we can get an animated series of the entire Berserk series for once. That fight with Striga vs the villagers in season 4 was a major nod to Berserk made me believe that if that got to control Berserk that the series would be in good hands.
i actually think the ending of the original hits harder because it just ends the skelly knight shit after the intensity of the prior moment is almost comical the way its handled and really theres nothing gained by being more explicit, the manga is more metaphysical than it is intense on the details after all
Glorifying rape is a violation of the source material. The last film is an abortion.
@@residentgrigo4701 how did it glorify rape? It was not shot and I suggestive way whatsoever, it was shown as a horribly evil act, and unlike the original you saw the repercussions of the mental damage that the rape and eclipse did to Casca.
You're insane if you think that the movie glorified rape.
@@residentgrigo4701 I've no idea how you think the last movie glorifies rape any more than the manga, and by that I mean not at all.
@@residentgrigo4701 ???
My biggest gripe with the animated series is the Adonis scene.
Guts in the manga 100% didn't see the kid, but a silhouette and even then he hid before he saw anything else and pretty much ran around the corner in a blink of an eye.
The anime severely messed up Guts characterization in this instant. In the series. He sees the kid, thinks the kid would tell the guards then kills the kid and then he starts feeling guilty? No. The kid dying was a massive mistake in the manga. Like a huge one. It was completely out of Guts' control on what happened.
And I guarantee it inluenced how people saw Guts. People must've thought he was the edgiest of all edges and that a kid couldn't escape the edge. When even in the Black Swordsman arc. He didn't hurt kids on his own volition. Sure he traumatized them by using them as bait or telling a one to kill themself. He never intentionally went out of his way to hurt kids aside from their feelings.
The movie Nailed this scene. It was basically a 1 for 1 of the manga. The animated series kind of messed this part of bad.
damn I'm glad you said this because I just watched the 1997 anime and that scene definitely gave me a different perspective of guts. even though he clearly had issues with killing adonis in the show it's good to know it was completely accidental instead of how the show portrays it
The movies dont have some scenes but the scenes they have are better
He didn't know it was a kid until his sword was in him
True that, but I LOVE the 1997 anime though.
This is an amazing take on the animated depictions of the GAA, thank you for making this for the people who want to try out berserk!
13:34 "Berserk is more about the boat ride than the grand finale"
Oh no, oh you didn't had to go there! well played, but damn that hurts.
This movie adaptation is great, Kinda sucks how much flack it gets, My family even got into it.
What happens after the movies
@@sebastiangreen9505 the manga
@@Xavier-do6ty lmao
When I first read Berserk in it's entirety, it changed my life. But I can't see a good quality faithful adaptation being made for the volumes after the eclipse.
never say never
We need those bubble economy tier OVAs back. The 2 works of ryoichi ikegami that got made into OVAs looked surprisingly faithful to his artstyle. I wouldve killed for a berserk adaptation with the same visual fidelity as crying freeman.
@@earlyman7439well it would be an ONA now
Just wait a couple hundred years for the animated comic to catch up :)
I think it's a matter Time before we get a new adaptation. I think they're gonna get it this time

Check out the Berserk Supercuts for the best of both worlds. They’re the 97’ series and trilogy spliced together.
I wouldn’t have gotten into berserk without the animated movies
0:20 Last adaptation came out “10 years ago”. I still refer to the 90s as only 10 years ago even if I was born in 96
The only way I can see a Berserk adaption at this point is having something done like David Production has done with Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure or Studio Wit’s Attack on Titan over the past almost-decade(if I am remembering right). It would be a long haul, but I can’t imagine any other system working. Obviously the extreme detail of later sections would have to be reworked, but I don’t think it is an impossible obstacle. And as always, thanks for another wonderful entry in 4cember :). I have been enjoying it quite a bit.
this is the last indivdual one, but the mega antholgy version will have a couple of short ends that couldnt make it to full video length in it:)
@@Stevem Looking forward to it! 😄
God dammit I can't even think about Berserk without crying. Why do I watch this stuff on my lunch breaks
Very well said… I would’ve loved to see their own adaptations and I was really disappointed when they didn’t continue the arcs. I am not blinded by the manga, this is art in itself
I always recommend the trilogy for those who want to start getting into Berserk and then afterwords the manga. In my option, the trilogy movies are a condensed summarization of the Golden Age.
I'm glad you did a video on berserk. Still can't get over that the creator died right in the beginning of 2021 feels like when his death was announced it shocked me and many of my friends. Even one of my personal artist friends was sad Kentaro Miura passed away and it hit him so hard he was in doomer mode about it. Even cried on stream. Thanks for reviewing these films.
The circumstances were pretty sad
@@Stevem Made it even worse that he died of an exploding heart. I can't imagine his body shaking uncontrollable with blood coming out from the inside. I get nightmares just thinking about it. Feel bad for that legend. I hope he finds peace in the berserk land in the skys for his reward for drawing his manga for almost 20 to 30 years now.
@@NitwitsWorld well the condition is a direct relation to overworking yourself
@@Stevem yup oof 😓
My gateway drug to the Berserk universe was the Dreamcast game. Back then, I had no idea what I was in for.
honestly very cool way to start
I didn't watch the video, just in the comments to say yes go watch the trilogy. The first movie is a little rough in the cg areas but they get better. Personal favorite is the second movie, and the last movie is just pain. This was my gateway into the Berserk series and I love it to bits. While it leaves some stuff out from the manga it main story are in tact and the final movie still hits hard.
Thank you for making this video I was looking forward to it for a while :) I did show the movies to my cousins and they seemed to enjoy it especially after explaining more details. If I had to explain their feelings and flesh out their stories with my own words then I guess you're right the TV show is the best way to start. I just tend to reccomend the movies for ppl that don't have much time on their hands nor care as much 😅
i mean that's fair in a way but i do wonder if theres a massive difference between a 25 eps of a show they can watch 20mins a piece casually or 3 feature movies, if this person really has no time because in both situations its not a whole story if they want to see what happens theyll need to start reading 100s and 100s pages and chapters
Yes. Thank you for making more content.
Watch Berserk Redux. It's an excellent composition of both old and new Berserk animation that fills in so many gaps that the new movies just skipped.
Holy shit, that was weird, hahaha.
I like the idea but the changing from old to new was too much.
To be honest these are the kinda fan projects I don't like stapling together three movies and tv shows with wildly different styles aspect ratios and music is a bad idea. Once more I don't see when adding movie stuff would be worth it since they add so little that isn't in the tv show unless you want the bigger set pieces , the dance scene and stuff towards the end
I definitely believe It's worth checking the Golden age trilogy films, If you're a fan of the original manga or even the 1997 show.
I personally have a massive soft spot for the Golden age trilogy films, even with their flaws, and even some of the original scenes like the Guts and Casca's dance scene.
Coincidentally my grandmother actually brought me the trilogy of the films not too long ago, and finally I received them in person yesterday. Along with a genga cel from one of the movies, the artwork is gorgeous. ( Now, I am super happy to own an actual piece of one of those films.)
However, on the contrary, while I do love these films my biggest problem is definitely the runtime/lack of quiet and intimate interactions between the Band of the Hawk.
For example, the Bonfire of Dreams is still to this day my favourite Berserk moment from both the manga and 1997 anime, and later my love for that chapter became more apparent during the chapters of Farnese and Schierke going through Casca's memories!
The CGI never really bothered me, personally, It's no Berserk 2016/17 but It can be a little distracting considering on how gorgeous some of the visuals are!
Thank you! I was watching the video and agreed with you until the end 🤣 it was like "that's what i was saying all this time"
These feature films were my first introduction to Berserk, and I think they're a good entryway. Having them feel incomplete just encouraged me to check out the older show and read the manga and appreciate those since they're denser.
very good video, also cute cat at the end
The creator of Castlevania has spoken about making the 2-D hand drawn post-eclipse series with Netflix. It’s even in reference towards in the aforementioned show towards the end, as though they were saying “this what’s next”. It’s been hush hush outside of a few articles and twitter posts but now that Castlevania is finished I feel like the cauldron is brewing behind closed doors.
Thanks for the video. As flawed as the adaptation is I still like the films. I attended the Scotland Loves Anime screening and Q+A for the first 2 films, and it was pretty evident that the staff were really passionate about the project, so I've always thought it was a shame they never got to continue it as planned. I remember when the stills from the pilot they produced leaked and all the excitement that generated, even just from seeing long haired Caska.
yeah theres a couple more pilot frames online that weren't shown in NHK thing i wonder how much of them were in it
@@Stevem Even in the first films movie pamphlet where it discusses the pilot, there's still only a few stills, including Puck and Caska, but they're pretty tiny.
My first exposure to Berserk was with the Dreamcast game Guts' Rage. I liked the voice for Puck in that game. It made him sound annoying but playful at the same time. The new garbage series just makes him sound like a bitch.
2:50 We kind of just got that, did you like it?
Shirō Sagisu eh? I only know him from Bleach... What a busy guy!
Lost children Is the only arc that could work well for a movie
It is still really impressive how much time you put into your stuff yet you only have 81k sub.
Can’t wait for this channel to blow up.
would be nice not to be grinding so hard lol
To date the 97 version is still the best. I enjoyed the OVA's but as you pointed out there's just a lot missing and you get that feeling whether you saw the original or not. I don't think a movie format would do the Manga justice. That said, I acknowledge the massive undertaking it would require for any studio to attempt another series. I personally think this needs a 2D treatment, that is why the last series failed. If someone like Netflix takes this on they would HAVE to acknowledge the budget requirements and have complete faith in it which is a risk but you can't half ass a property like this. We saw this with Castlevania...1st season had only 4 episodes which showed their hesitation and while the series overall was good, you can clearly see the budget cuts during each season because they had to save it for the last big boss fight. Berserk would need consistency throughout.
I actually like 3D of the anime, it grew on me and ended up liking it. It was bad at firt but in Part 2 to Part 3 it got better
they get a lot of flack, especially on release, but i thought they were fine, decent ways to get someone interested.
no wyald is a miss though.
I believe you must to release another video since the Berserk Memorial edition add much scenes and importants parts than the 1997 adaptation. Bonfire of dreams, the scene of Judeu and Guts in the tabern and the most polemic chapter of Wounds between Guts and Caska scene when Guts realize his trauma in front of Caska.
Man, you’ve been pumping out content lately! Make sure to get some rest too. Love the vids
This was the last one of the smaller vids, all that's left is the anthology megavideo version of this month
A lot of people have gotten into Berserk because of the film trilogy simply because it's on Netflix and the easiest to come across. I actually saw it before reading the manga, and I wasn't confused by it at all; in fact I was even more hyped to finally read it; especially after watching SuperEyePatch Wolf's video on why you should read Berserk all those years ago. The trilogy was the final push to get me started.
It would be interesting to know how many new Berserk fans started with the film trilogy that had heard of Berserk before that.
this could be a later thing with services like netflix giving it boost when the movies first came out they didnt do very well, honestly this is kinda a game of accessibility too, if the tv show was on netflix im sure it would do well its only one click opposed to three for the films etc EDIT yeah those movies are only on canada/us netflix too
Welp luckily there's berserk memorial edition They said they will remastered every scene to make it looks better and they will added cut scene the confirmed one is Bonfire of dream But I think there's more Later for them to announce
It's not perfect but I loved it. I've watched it several times. I especially love Golden Age Guts' design. Yes, even more than his Black Swordsman design.
The memorial edition added wounds so I would say yes. It’s worth it now.
For me I really never minded the 3d style of the movies, but the cut of scenes that got left behind is really what disappointed me.
The supercut covers the manga perfectly
Can't wait to watch the new series reboot. It's going to be really really great.
how do u know is gonna be gr8 ?_?
@@AtreyusNinja There's so much unused material in the Golden Age manga, definitely excited for this.
@@illustriouschin oh that's good to know, i hope too if so!
i dont think theyve annouced anything yet but im sure its more a when than if
I can't wait to experience the magic again. ✨🤩✨
i'd say probably the best way to get an animated berserk experience, is the berserk redux fancut.
The models look like Madagascar and also courage and god of war rejects
I wouldn’t have minded if they did the rest of the series into movies, because I feel like they finally nailed it by the third part.
Would suggest watch studio taka's adaptation berserk, but more so a motion comic if anything.
Myboi taric
@@basedshenron9457 Hello Dragonball dragon!
I’m a new comer to berserk
R.I.P. Kentaro senpai
I was glad to have watched the original show as my introduction, then I was curious about the newer stuff and seeing the visual changes that looked bad in comparison and the audio mixing of the movies being just worse with levels on voices it was all shocking. Quickly found this video, yeah definitely didn't like most of those movies, appreciate some of the things but definitely not worth it in comparison
yes
Face it. It was never going to work without some guy singing 'Haaaaaaa hhhaaaaa hhhhaaa, hhhaaa, hon hooon na hooon hooo hoo ha' over the thoughtful scenes.
damn true
They’re worth it especially as an augment for the ‘97 anime.
Yes
I'm just saving up my money to buy each of the deluxe volumes of the manga.
Because it's THAT good.
i wish they were in better sale, its hard to get a lot of them around my parts
where can i watch the films if i live in uk?
What?! Wait a minute. The Eclipse is AMAZINGLY well done! The whole scene is perfect! The sound, the camera angles, the timing, speed ramping, the color, the acting. All vastly superior to the manga (no disrespect, of course, but this is what cinema is about!). The way they did Void deflecting Skull Knight's sword is insanely better than that one confusing panel in the original. When Slan rises, Guts' fury and despair, Femto's evil, all just hypnotize you. It's like you wake up from a trance when we get back to Rickert. MUST WATCH IN THE DARK ON THE BIGGEST SCREEN POSSIBLE!!!
*Short answer.*
_YES_
Yes it’s the best one
I agreed that it was a shorter and more accessible version of it. I personally enjoyed the experience a lot, especially in a time with so much bad things to watch, having more berserk did not bothered me. The accessible part is important as well so it can be passed around easier. Especially in the western culture, people tend to go to very stereotypical kind of anime to watch. So from that standpoint is cool to have a compressed version of the arc, easier to sell one movie than 20+ episodes
The movies are fine.. I like the third one quite a lot.. but man.. they should have done Conviction or something. Maybe they could have done Black Swordsman and Conviction in a trilogy. That would have been cool.
Can i watch the movies wirhout having watched the anime (both versions) and without having read the manga?
yes its probably the best way to get into Berserk
Yes they are 👍
The movies and their direction really got into the series and I feel like the movies did a good job of telling the story, granted they first should’ve been longer but if it was part of a larger series I think I’d work well, sadly they fucked it up
Yes it was worth it because it introduced me to Berserk.
As someone that was introduced to berserk via the movie series and has since seen the show and started reading the manga I can confirm that the movies were a bit confusing. When I watched them for the first time I binged them all with a friend and we both struggled to actually follow the story and were more brought in by how cool the concept was. A lot of the moments that really impact me now had close to no impact when I first watched the films.
thats cool to hear, i guess thats the power of adaptation since i know most people wont buy volume 1 on a whim like i did back when i was 16
@@Stevem I really wish I got to experience it that way. That being said 16 year old me had a lot of fun watching the movies. And it all worked out since I’m reading the manga now.
@@capabartz7380 yeah see the thing about reading the manga back then is i bought it abroad when i came back i couldnt find any of the early volumes, so it was years before i started reading again
@@Stevem dang. That must’ve been painful. It always sucks when I finish the issues I’m on and have to wait until I have the time and money to go buy more. That’s usually only a couple weeks at most though. Years would be dreadful. But I guess that’s the life a berserk fan.
@@capabartz7380 after reading the blackswordsman volume 1 i was thinking oh cool i like this id like to see where it goes and i couldnt so i just moved on until i did read more on a whim
it missed a few parts from the manga but it was worth it
A massive YES. They were modern, felt big and got me into Berserk. The original show however i find is unwatchable by modern day standard.
hard disagree lol
The 1997 version would still look awesome even after 100's of years of animation development
The more you watch the better
With Muira's death, maybe we'll get a decent adaption someday
maybe
@@Stevem very maybe
Hoping. I hear he had input on the cg series though and to me at least the episodes he helped direct were slightly better. The movies show it's possible.
@@essree2996 ive heard he was credit as a supervisor which is super vague and that he might have helped write one ep number 3 but that's it ,he wrote because it variates from the manga
@@Stevem ah. This made me actually try google and the best I could find was imdb credits where ep 3+ credited him as the writer, but I'm not sure how close that is without looking at the credits on the show itself. If it was just the one I'm a little surprised
I think they should have made the first 2 movies like 2 or 2,5hrs and it would have worked rly well. They could have packed more into it from the story and fleshed the characters more out
as explained by the team a movie over 2hr is impossible for them in the anime industry because it needs to be shown 6 times a day in the cinemas or they wont take it unless theyre hot shit basically
@@Stevem I think Berserk is pretty HOt shit. The new Evangelion Movie was going pretty long, I think it was even 3 hrs or smth.
I watched the movies first and skipped the series and glad I did. this is one of the best trilogies ever, so epic in every way.
It would be interesting if there was an American anime made like avatar for Netflix
where do i continue the series after watching the trilogy?
Read the manga, the movies are fine but the 2016 series is garbage
For me the 1997 series is unmatched, the trilogy had some bells and whistles sure and it's worth checking out. I just got a lot more from the '97 series. I even watched The 2016 stuff and it was... ok. I don't think it was god awful but it wasn't great either. I just watched it because I wanted more Berserk. Everyone tells me to read the manga but the thing that puts me off is it's all black and white. One of the main reasons I like graphic novels is the beautifully coloured artwork and I find it not as enjoyable in plain black and white. The Deluxe Berserk books aren't exactly cheap and I wouldn't mind paying so much if they were colour but to get them all it's like £500.
aside from the cgi, i fully enjoyed the movies as my introduction to berserk
I don’t really mind how the movies look (having not fully seen them) and it’s a HUGE upgrade on berserk 2016 and obviously. But why must berserk be cursed with 3D?
The Manga panels is too detailed , It would take a pretty long time to animate everything by ,2D
The movies came before the 2016 anime, how can the movies be a upgrade lol
A Berserk movie based in ONE manga volume would totally work, specially in regards of pacing! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
I really heartily disagree in a movie adaptation of Berserk, movies tend to be just action GO! GO! GO!, with little to zero space for some breath or thoughts. Even the 97's animated show still have to cut content (Puck, for example) to met the deadlines.
the issue i see is that movies have a very particular structure they need to adhere to which i dont think is what the manga fits a lot of the time as well as the producers saying hey we cant make any of these movies longer than 2 hours for cinema related reasons
@@Stevem For sure
I loved the movie, the first one is meh but the last two are so damn beautiful
I personally liked watching these movies.
me too
Just watch the Redux version, it's on youtube.
In hindsight its kind of sad that these movies stopped after the eclipse. I and others just kept thinking, why do the golden age again? The music was good, the voice acting was good, and the animation was great but why do golden age again. Its unfortunate that this is what happened but whatever.
if they could approach Berserk like they did Chainsaw Man, we would have a fun product.
I bought all 3. But actually have never watched the 3rd one. Lol
I learn about from did you know anime
It was a great cinema, I just wished it went past the same arc.
That sex seduction in part 2 was absolute erotic art, I was impressed with the progression of the scene; I’ve rarely seen live action do anything comparable, probably because it would be too intimate and personal for the actors involved
I don't perceive the trilogy as a definitive or even good way to experience Berserk or the Golden Age for the first time. I see it more as something for Berserk fans, taking individual moments from the saga and giving them animated justice. That's why I think the third film is the only worthwhile one, because its depiction of the Eclipse and The Sprint are everything I could want in a faithful Berserk adaptation. The others have their moments, sure, but there's not much you can do when plagued with the curse of adapting Berserk.
The movies aren’t bad. I watched them first before I really knew anything about Serk. The original anime is definitely superior over all as a finished work. But the movies did a good job updating animation for a few of the standout sequences that do surpass the OG anime from ‘97. I’d take another film trilogy like these over that 2016/2017 horse shit they scooped up off the floor and tried to pass off as a Berserk adaption.
This trilogy is for the people who wants to jump on the manga.. its worth to watch..so good..
Pls watch it in sub..
Couldn't they just read the manga without it though
@@Stevem it's easier to watch the movie as a trial instead of investing time into a long Manga right from the start, especially if your someone that's not into Manga or anime like myself
safdie brothers should get the rights
lol
The question is not if it is worth it, the question is weather you are worth watching it. *🎤*
I was the 420th like
lets goooooo
While I appreciate a Readers Digest edition of The Golden Age Arc, the CG and pacing hurts. A short scene with Zodd yet an extended battle CG Battle is very disappointing. I just wished the crew behind the tv series could've made the movies. The art direction alone is just so masterful!
if they could they would have tbh doesnt seem like it was in the cards
@@Stevem the studio behind the series weren't in production anymore from what I understand. Besides, most of the key animators/artists left to pursue other projects. I'm just saying I wish it could've happened.
@@LowellLucasJr. well it was done by OLM who make pokemon but whatever studio within it is probs gone for sure which is a shame
@@Stevem yeah its a real shame. They just don't make em like they used too.
