Between the return of the ‘Berserk’ manga with the disciples of Kentaro Miura<\/strong> and the television reissue of the films’Berserk: The Golden Age Arc’,<\/strong> The last few months have been a rollercoaster ride for fans of the series. This same weekend this reissue has already been released in Japan and we can see it in streaming through Crunchyroll<\/strong>and so far the series is off to a very good start.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The beginning of the Golden Age<\/h2>\n

The first chapter of the anime does not give much of itself in terms of plot but it is a perfect introduction to guts <\/strong>from the first moment the character appears. The point is quickly grasped and we also fully enter into the dynamics of the Band of the Falcon<\/strong>and it’s also a great introduction to CAska and Griffith<\/strong>the other two characters who are going to be key in the story.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first chapter starts in the middle of a siege where Guts participates as a mercenary to earn a living. His abilities quickly catch the attention of Griffith, who decides to recruit him into his own group of warriors even though Guts isn’t much for the job at first.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Around here there have not been too many changes and the first episode of ‘Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition’ stays pretty true to the start of the movie trilogy,<\/strong> although some changes can be seen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As the source material is anime movies for cinema, the animation quality of Studio 4\u00baC is very, very good, with a mix between traditional animation and CGI very well managed<\/strong>. In the first sequences they abuse the CGI a bit, but bearing in mind that we start in the middle of a siege with multitudes of soldiers, catapults, and castles that are collapsing… Well, the result is more than drinkable and the scenarios are really impressive.<\/p>\n

Even so, This CGI has been polished a bit when it comes to detailing the models and giving more expressiveness to the background characters<\/strong>, which earn a lot compared to how the movies were at the time. Even in the CGI moments, the movements are very fluid and much of the episode is already traditionally animated.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The remaster of the trilogy is also quite noticeable when it comes to the brightness and sharpness of the image, with ‘Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition’ <\/strong>having a very beautiful finish to see in many of his shots, especially in the open field landscapes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No censorship in sight (for now)<\/h2>\n

And if what worried you about the return of ‘Berserk’ to television was the possible censorship, if finally there has been, has been very little<\/strong> and on Crunchyroll, in fact, they have put up a very large poster at the beginning of the episode, making it clear that there will be violence, gore, nudity, and everything.<\/p>\n
