Third AD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWibBuWvZbA Casca is apparently moving her lips so i think the idea those could be made just for the commercials is a little sily. I dont understand the criticism over the 2nd ad. I think it looks wonderful , the angles and the amount of frames. Yes Zodd leaving looks a bit odd but everything else looks great. CGI with 2d draws can be used really well. GITS SAC used it alot. |

Third ad looks absolutely fantastic. And I agree, it does look like Casca is talking to someone. And the Behelit at the end gave me chills! I can't wait for the other commercials, I wanna know what this project will be and when it will be released! And since Casca was talking, this was another scene from the Golden Age, likely after she fell into the river and Guts took care of her. Each ad just gives more and more proof that this is a 100% total reboot. They've shown things from Golden Age all the way to the Millenium Arc. There's no way all that material could be covered in a movie or in a game. This has to be an OVA or a new TV series.

Ah right, the Berserk arc where Casca trades in her clothes for her new leaf outfit.
Hopefully those leaves are only for the commercial and not a sign of how many punches this new project is going to be pulling. Otherwise we'll be seeing a lot of leaves. And walkie-talkies. |

A heavily censored Berserk doesn't sound very compatible with what the essence of Berserk is.

because Berserk is, at its heart all about the sex, violence, nudity and gore right? |

You do need to admit though, that without the sex, violence, nudity, and gore, that it'd be a very difficult venture to tell Berserk's story faithfully >.> Like the Troll arc. I imagine that'd be a VERY different adaptation if it's censored heavily. Hell, some of the most vital scenes in the series are rapes. Guts got raped, Griffith raped Charlotte, Griffith raped Caska... again, it's be very hard to tell Berserks story faithfully without those things. |

But it is possible to tell the story, including the important and horrorific events that occur, without going into quite the level of... detail the original manga did with depicting such things.
A heavily censored Berserk? Yah, that wouldn't really work. A moderately censored Berserk? The first anime was pretty much that, and it was pretty popular. |

you can still have those things, just not as graphically, showing it explicitly isn't going to change its overall meaning, with the exception being the spoiler[Griffith raping Caska scene]. i'm not saying that i dislike the more brutal elements of the series, i'm saying thats not the reason i watched/read it. |

... Have you not actually read the manga? Because yeah, a hell of a lot of it is. spoiler[The very first panel of the manga is of Guts (uncharacteristically, before his identity was firmly established in later volumes) sticking it to some female apostle, and then blowing her head off with a bloodthirsty smile on his face a page later. This is Berserk. Guts' initial explosive anger whenever anybody tried to touch him stemmed from Gambino making a quick buck by selling him for a night. Casca's entire character is defined by rape. She idolizes Griffith because he saved her from that fate, and her personality from that point on is all about becoming a capable warrior to distance herself from that weak little girl who couldn't protect herself (and to aid her savior). She is constantly placed in danger of rape the entire course of the Golden Age arc, first during the 100-Man Slaughter and then during the extremely graphic attack by Wyald. When it's Griffith of all people, as Femto, that finally enacts her worst fear upon her, along with everything else that happened during that event, it destroys her mind. Even after that she's still rape target numero uno, occasionaly even by a distraught Guts himself. So, uh, yeah. Sex and rape plays a huge part with Casca's character. Then there's Farnese and her very dark side concerning her sexual nature. While maybe not as important as Casca's, it's still a defining part of her character. A massive sex orgy is what caused the Count to start down the path towards becoming an Apostle. Slan is an extremely sexual character. The entire downfall of Griffith during the Golden Age, aside from being distraught by Gut's departure, is caused by his night with Charlotte. After the King of Midland finds out, he in turn tries to have a night with her... Even Griffith isn't above whoring himself out. Rape and sexual torture is rampant in this series. As for violence? lol. Come on. Not even just violence, but the ridiculous depictions of evil and depravity. The bottom line is that the entire world of Berserk is one of unspeakable evil and horrific, depressing events that people are forced to succumb to. Miura is constantly throwing as much of this stuff as he can into that world so that when Guts endures it all, and manages to overcome it, he becomes even more the hero and looks that much more badass. So... yeah. The sex, violence, nudity and gore is an overwhelming part of Berserk's world and clearly a large part of what defines it.]
The original anime didn't shy away from the nudity, and even that cut out spoiler[Guts' rape, and the entire (very sexually violent) encounter with Wyald]. IF this new project feels it necessary to throw a crapton of leaves onto Casca during the most sexually-innocent moment in the story, then there are probably going to be a lot more omissions than what didn't appear in the original anime. |

Re: Leaves: Perhaps indicative of the now tried-and-tested method of increasing DVD/Blu-ray sales?
Again indicating that a new project is in the works. Last edited by Sven Viking on Fri Oct 01, 2010 5:31 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Well, I think it's fairly clear that those leaves are probably just there for the commercial, as tons of animes have absolutely no problem showing nudity (though sometimes not in the broadcast versions). It just wouldn't make sense to try to sanatize Berserk to the level of "no nudity even in innocent situations." |

I agree about the lip movement, by the way. If this was test animation, it seems like a strange choice for testing lip-sync, and they've shown a lot of different scenes now when you include the two extra leaked shots. I'm now guessing that not only is there a new series, but it's already part-way done. Hopefully we'll get confirmation at the end of the advertising campaign, or soon after.
