That Free The Nipple campaign sure was a success.

That horse man licking her upper body grossed me the fuck out. Even reminded Guts of Casca and her being ravished.

My favorite part was the fight with the apostle.

Loved that episode. Stuff about the kingdom (politics) happening at the end. Interesting preview (with Casca) and I liked Farnese and that guy (Serpico).

He seems a lot stronger than he acutally showed. I don't think he is evil. He could have been some highly intelligent Apostle guy hiding his true face but I don't know thy he should have done that. Also when nobody was nearby (only the anime viewer watching) he seemed a bit surprised and getting attacked I think. Apostle would have just controlled all the other evil stuff.

Seems at the moment that he is some church guy not directly in the chain of command of that troops Farnese is controlling. More like an observer (that still might be able to give orders) trying to report stuff Farnese is doing to the guys above. I like that he seems pretty strong.

With Guts on full health it would probably be an interesting fight between them.

Farnese looks so weird without nipples, more gore this episode though.

This is total fucking trash. I thought the rape scene from the original anime was fucking tasteless. At least that was horrific. This episode makes it look like we're supposed to enjoy watching a fucking horse try to rape someone. And what the fuck is with the lack of nipples? You show a horse lick up someones body, but you won't show fucking nipples? This show is so bad it can't even get sex right!

Is there a reason why the girl doesn't have nipples?


How can they show nipples on TV ?! I prefer no nipples than putting white clouds to hide the boobs like most ecchi anime that air on TV


I like what you said. But, I prefer no-nipples in anime, entirely.

So let me confirm something: It is okay to show a naked woman IF you don't decide to draw the nipple. Because lets be honest, her hair was way too short to cover her boobs.


That's the whole point. Full nudity is okay if you don't draw the nipples or genitalia.

uh it seemed fine when kill la kill did it.

Koi Koi 7 ep 13, Cross Ange ep 6, yes Kill la Kill, and many more did it right.

Yes it is fine, it was always fine, there was never anything wrong about it to begin with.

I found the horse scene funny, also the sword sounding like the only thing it was hitting was metal.

Farnese has nice... abs.

Whoever directed and/or storyboarded this is an idiot. Way to break the flow. It should have ended with them parting ways. Also, zero-budget animation thrown in is distracting. Just CG the whole thing and be done with it already.

REALLY GOOD EPISODE !!! And I saw the Rape horse everyone was talking about XD Old Berserk was good, but had only military warfare. This Berserk is awesome! Fighting evil monsters is exciting!

Yeah to have Farnese half-naked the whole episode but basically have no nipples was a bit strange

Didn't like this episode, most of it was disturbing. Didn't like the Apostle or the fight. It was a little hard to determine what was going on. Not sure why hes fighting them or their actual purpose.

After Farnese got her self possessed things made a little more sense. So even if it was comical it served a purpose. Just seeing her subjugated to that torment and humiliation was uneasy.

Serpico and at least the ending were interesting.

Weird guilt-ridden boner is weird... Poor Farny.

The episode wasn't all that bad. Sucks that the rushed ending parts of the first series are leaving a nasty domino effect.

That wasn't even rape, just more sexual assault.

Either way, decent episode. Forced band is forced, but at least we get more Berserk.

This was the first episode where the CGI really bugged me. It's a shame. The Apostle & his hounds were pretty cool. But the CGI really showed it's limitations when the demon was talking to Guts with the sword in his mouth. Such an important character could've used a little more handdrawn frames.

Also, I don't understand why they removed the nipples. This isn't exactly a show for kids, so I can't imagine that they did it to keep the shows age-rating under a certain threshold. If you're gonna have an episode with a naked lady for 15 minutes straight, why remove them?

Anyways, the story in this episode was still superb. The fact that the Apostle kept half of the body of his former Master on the wall was pretty twisted. The part with possessed Farese and that horny horsedemon as well. Typical Berserk. Fucked up demons doing fucked up shit.

The episode did end a bit confusing with Farese wanting to kill Guts. I mean sure, I guess her mind's a bit broken after witnessing all that. Especially as a previous non-believer. But Guts is the only reason she's still alive. I don't really know what to make of the "casual" duel between Guts and that Sepico (?) dude either. It all happened so fast and during the end credits nonetheless.

All in all, a good episode, but the lack of nipples & the mediocre CGI bugged me this time. Especially compared to the last part, with the old king and princess Charlotte. That looked way better. I thought she would've gotten pregnant from Griffith's one night stand, but I guess not?

Also, in the sneakpeek to next episode Casca looked a bit browner again? Or did I imagine it?

I'm not surprised that no one is rejoicing that Casca actually has a darker skin tone. lol


They already left after seeing the show's intro, lol. But I'm glad I didn't just imagine it then.

WolfWood37 said:
Characters like Farnese are just pathetic in my opinion, so closed off from reality.


That's why it's interesting to have her in Berserk, imo. She just saw her whole perfect world crash into pieces. She even nearly got eaten and raped and then she got possessed! It'll be interesting to see how it affects her, further down the line.

So this moment has appeared in the anime in altered form, compared to the source material, eh?

CGI was bad, so was direction. It was fun to watch only because I am familiar with the manga and because this anime has really nice music and very good voice acting. So far, at least.
