Berserk!

[theronin]

A few months ago me and my roomates wwere looking for something to watch at blockbuster, lo and behold we see an anime called Berserk sitting there. The box art looked cool so we decided to rent it. Needless to say we have been turned into complete fans of the series and eagerly awaited the last one! It has since come out and i just wanted to know what everyone else thought about it? I have mixed reviews on it but would just like to start some dialoge with other fans! thanks alot

I've yet to watch the 5th and 6th volumes but i really enjoyed 1-4. i heard the ending was quite over the top but I still need to watch to give my opinion. :batman

[theronin]

you are in no way prepared or warned about the ending.. you just sit there and go, wtf just happened to me!? WATCH IT!

[krazy skwerel]

ill prob. try to watch the last 2 dvds tommorow if i can get the time. have you played the game? its a hack and slash but is pretty amuzing if you have a dream cast.

[theronin]

i did not know there was a berserk game... now i do... now i have to buy a dc... CRAP!

[krazy skwerel]

im sure you can get bioth DC and game for like 45 bucks. its a story that involves guts and casca. I wish i had seen the last 2 dvds so i could compare and see if it is from the series or not.

[Eklectrick]

I'm intrigued. what's the premise of the series? what might it be compared to?

[theronin]

A guy named Guts.... he has a huge sword! and a whole lot of rage! throw in alot of fighting some mercenaries and a little demonic subtext and you got yourself Berserk... just go and rent them....

Oh did i mention he has a huge sword? I mean HUGE!

Yeah, you have to read the manga for the ending...I didn't. Last Exile is my fav right now (In case you cared)

[Radian]

Ahh blockbuster anime.I've watched them up to the 4th disk I think. It is pretty good, better than other anime I've seen because it actually does have some sort of a plot. And Griffith is so pretty, all up in his lavender armor-??On the third disk when he is at the castle with the princess some maids were gossiping and said he was prettyer than the ladies of the court-HAHHAHA what a fruit!

Anyways, do you guys have some recomendations for really good anime. It can be violent, but I'm more concerned with cinematic quality like charcter development and plot lines.mio

[240_Keyy]

go check out "Those who hunt elves" or "El Hazzard" Those two series are l33t. I can't even count how many series I have seen...

Golden boy is kinda interesting (sorta like strange p0rn, a chick gets off with her motorcycle )

and another good one is Battle Athletes.

[SilviaLuvr]

[Myrk]

Where do you get your Manga of Berserk from?? I've looked all over and I am unable to find it translated. I finished the anime a few days ago. I was already expecting it, but damn!

Anime Recommendations:Great Teacher Onizuka or GTO for shortPrincess MononokeRourouni Kenshin the OVA's atleastNinja ScrollJust a few I can remember off hand.

good choices although i really enjoyed the kenshin tv series, what ive seen of it, GTO is the **** always comical and quite entertaining. Nobody hasmentioned trigun that is a staple anime to watch. Also some good shows are:Martian successor nadesicocowboy bebopbubble gum crisis 2040Dual (if you like tenchi and the wanderers)Neon genesis evangeliontheres lots more but i cant think of them right now. :batman

[GodzillaFan]

Anything Lupin III especially castle of caliostro. so much good anime. ones to stay away from Blood the last vampire and X the movie X the series rocks though.

[miteymax86]

Got to the ending last night at about 3am. I should've been warned. Visually intense, psychologically disturbing, and WTF?!!!

[miteymax86]

Watching the first episode again, it makes a lot more sense now. Still, there could be a lot more to it, here's hoping they make some more episodes!

[krazy skwerel]

It is really good. I got to say X the T.V. series rocks im up to volume 5 now and it just keeps getting better. Its another series that you might find interesting. It's one of those ewnd of the world rest on one person type deals. :batman

Just checked out Ninja Scroll last night...whew! Blood fountains everywhere. I liked it.

Need more, more ninjas, more bloodshed, more ninja girls...
