NCG recommends Berserk (2016)

Leave a comment

The first season of Berserk (2016) has come to a close today and  it has left me wanting more! If you have not watched or read Berserk before, some of this info might be considered spoilers.

In terms of the animation, Berserk is drawings over CG animation which is different from the original Berserk anime and more similar to the Berserk Movies. The result can sometimes be off putting, as it’s something most people are not used to; heck I’ve even seen a video on YouTube condemning the style. I’m not a huge fan of the style BUT it’s not as bad as the video made it out to be. After the first episode, I was accustomed to it.

The story of Berserk (2016) follows the events after the Golden Age arc, called the Conviction Arc (but also the Black swordsman Arc). Guts finds out that Casca has gone missing and he goes out looking for her. (Actual Spoiler) The anime ends with the return of Griffith in human form (End spoiler). This has definitely left me wanting more, and I can’t wait for next season coming spring of 2017 -so far away!! (not really I have other Anime to tide me over lol)

Did you watch Berserk (2016)? What did you think of it? Or will you pick it up? I recommended it not too long ago but if you haven’t seen the first Anime go watch that first, better yet watch the 2 movies they will get you up to speed AND the animation is better.

NCG Recommends: Re: Zero

What would your first thought be if you were transported to a fantasy world out of nowhere? I think I would freak out. Subaru, on the other hand, instantly knows he is in a fantasy world and hopes that he was the “chosen one” with extraordinary powers- nothing could be further from the truth.

Subaru is almost mugged and then is saved by a mysterious girl in search of a thief. He agrees to help her and tracks down the thief only to be killed by someone. You would think that the main character wouldn’t die so early. But, he comes back from the dead to an earlier point in the day before he even met the girl and only he remembers. It takes Subaru a while to even realize he has the power to repeat some actions after dying, but when he does, he continuously relives certain days until he gets it right almost like Groundhog Day.

The story is quite interesting since nothing is ever the same, but at the same time it’s frustrating because I wondered why Subaru didn’t use some of his previously gained knowledge to his advantage on the next go around. All that being said, the Anime has a way of pulling at your heartstrings repeatedly every time Subaru fails to accomplish an important goal. I really recommend this anime. The first season is 25 episodes long, and there has not been any announcement for a second season. Go watch it and let me know what you think. If you already watched let me know what you think!
