  1. Come on Rick, at this point you should explain the differences between apostles and Godhand members and regular and Scarlet Beherit. It’s not a spoiler anymore given it isn’t really explained in the anime. Also that “dream” was his past mixed with whatever Godhand wanted to feed Griffith. It was an abstract illusion. The Guts memory was from the series after Griffith killed the queen. The Godhand used Guts (the most important person for Griffith) own words to convince him.

    Also please react to Berserk movies… some people doesn’t like the CGI but at last we get the aftermath of the Eclipse.

    1. I really liked the movies. For 2013 the CGI was good IMO. The last movie does gives more closure than the 1997 anime, but to truly enjoy this story they should read the Manga.

  2. Are the going to watch episode 1 or never speak of it? I’d love to see their reaction to it

  3. I don’t want to be that person but with the way the scene is laid out it’s like 95% the case that nothing shown in the scene of the past is like, literally what happened. It’s *all* visual metaphor which is why none of it actually makes any sense (not just Ubik and Conrad doing a three-kids-in-a-trench-coat thing but also the starkly empty city, portrayed with deep shadows contrasted with the damn near angelic castle in the sky). You’re not supposed to interpret any of that as what physically happened in his past, though I don’t blame anyone who would, especially nowadays when a lot of media is constructed for you to assume that everything is literally physically happening and is all connected in a linear manner in some way.

    It’s why I rlly rlly like this adaptation… A lot of Berserk fans do not like it because it’s “incomplete” and, especially towards the end, outright removes a lot of story content (despite none of what was being cut being that relevant to the overall themes), but like, for its limited budget is done A LOT with visual metaphor. The stark color contrasts, the brilliantly executed Hirasawa compositions to accompany every scene and style change… This show is fucking brilliant. And even if it doesn’t literally adapt Miura’s beautiful art to completion (and as we see with the more recent Berserk CG series this is not necessarily a good goal to have..) it absolutely does so in spirit with these last three episodes (as well as other scattered moments through the series).

    1. It`s not your fault. They tend to take everything “literally”. It’s a metaphorical state of mind. Godhand members were trying to lure Griffith using tricks… using his past along his philosophy and other experiences like Guts speech. It’s a shame that sometimes Blindwave is THIS DENSE.

  4. Can’t believe they didn’t watch this and the next episode back-to-back. It’s a short series but man these two should have been a mini-movie from the very beginning.

  5. I don’t like the translation in the dub where Griffith makes the choice to sacrifice them all, he says “I submit”, when actually he says “I sacrifice.”

  6. Lol Aaron really wanted to make this experience miserable for Rick huh? He was nitpicky the whole series and made awkward jokes the whole episode. Hope he isn’t like this next episode.

    Anyway, I really enjoyed Berserk. Too bad this series hasn’t gotten a proper adaptation while every dumb Isekai idea gets an anime. Gonna have to read the manga.

  7. It’s funny Aaron mentions the Cenobites. It’s pretty much accepted they were the main inspiration for the Godhand.

  8. Berserk post-anime manga read-a-long for Patrons! I love ’97, but it pales in comparison. You don’t have to put any images on screen, just put volume/chapter/page number on screen as you turn!

  9. Godamm can Arron PLEASE stop asking what everything is? Its literally every time the shot changes Arron has to ask “Whos that!? Whats This!? Whats happening!?” What are you expecting Arron, Rick to just pause the video and calmly explain to you the name and information of every time a new character or setting appears? It’s just so constant I can’t help but feel its drawing the others out of the story! Please, save your questions for AFTER the reaction. I just don’t understand whhyyyy!!
    Damm you Arron, damn you to hell!!!

    Hope Mel and the kids are doing well. Be well and godbless.
