hogso Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 There's a Berserk short film coming to Netflix in autumn. Won't be too excited, as it's CG, and the CG of the movies was by far the worst bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 A timely thread resurrection, just finished the excellent Castlevania series this week. Currently working through a full Attack On Titan re-watch; been great to go back and pick up on some of the foreshadowing to all the chaos that went down in season 4, though I've got some concerns on how they wrap the whole thing up as apparently there's been some massive backlash to how the manga went out (not that I've read any of it myself, mind). Anywho once I'm done on the AoT marathon, I can go back to cancelling Crunchyroll until the final season rolls around (had a nosey round to see if there was anything else worth watching on there but it's all just a bit too YA for my tastes).

Yeah, the manga ending was kind of a disappointment. I say kind of, as it's just so easy to expect some sort of epic finale, but if the writer had something a little different in mind for his characters, well, so be it I guess...there are enough great moments towards the end of the series that will make the final run of the anime worth a look regardless though, I would suggest. I've heard really good things about Castlevania, but haven't watched any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Miura has died. Berserk has had a reputation for a very long time for an achingly slow release schedule (or lack thereof), but it never really mattered because the fandom has always been patient. It's unclear if it'll ever be finished now. If Miura kept some sort of script, or outlay of the plot, it might be possible with other artists coming in...but it's a real possibility that Guts' journey will never have an end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen this news and came to post the same. Absolutely gutted, I only caught up with the manga about a month ago. I wonder how much he will have shared concerning potential story direction, wasn't he a very introvert hikikomori type? Even if the story is completed nobody will be able to replicate his art Edited May 20, 2021 by Wainy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Yeah pretty much, I think one or two photos exist of him. I really don't know what would be for the best, leave it as it is and accept it was never going to be finished, have artists try to emulate his style (impossible of course to truly replicate it) and wrap up the story quickly...or maybe even roll out a more regular release schedule to fulfil his vision. If any even knows what that was! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 You can go and see the original two Evangelion movies (Death (True)2 (to me it's still called Death & Rebirth) followed by End of Evangelion) at Odeon and Showcase cinemas on 11th and 14th November as a double bill, both of which have the original English dub. Which is a good thing, cos it's a great dub, and you'll get to hear Spike Spencer's piercing death scream in that scene. More info here; NEON GENESIS EVANGELION which also gives info on the Ultimate Collector's Blu Ray set which features both dubs and as well as both sets of subs for the original Japanese! Pretty cool, although rather controversial as they could not license 'fly me to the moon' for the end credits, same as the Netflix release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other recommendations would be Killing Bites, Parasite, Tokyo Ghoul, and Samurai Champaloo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2022 I started watching Dorohedoro. Genuinely can't tell if it's good or bad. It looks cool as **** though and that's half the battle I think. As far as I can tell, the plot concerns a guy who has been magically transformed into having a lizard head and suffering from amnesia trying to hunt down the person that did it to him. It's set in a kinda cyberpunk dystopian future slum, while there is also a separate world populated by magicians that can visit the slum world and use it's inhabitants to practice their craft. It's violent and bizarre. The lizard guy, Caiman, 'tests' the sorcerers he encounters by biting their head, whereby they meet another person that lives in his mouth who states whether the person is the one he's hunting or not. The villains all wear odd masks - a heart, a tengu. Every episode has blood flying, the first scene has someone chopped into bits, a later fight has an eye cooked out, the first episode ends with a gag where a face gets ripped off... I quite like it. It has an immense sense of style and very weird humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
