| Another great episode. Everything was good, the OST, the sex scenes, the torture scens, the fight against the kushan. Fuck animation haters. You don't need ufotable animation to enjoy an anime |
| Great episode, it was very gloomy. The world feels more and more savage and hopeless. Its amazing how fast you learn what Luca is all about. That one line about pillow talk said it all. The animation looked mostly very good, but sometimes like a video game cutscene. A little bit distracting, but no big deal. |

I felt they really nailed the tower of conviction and the refugee camp's athmosphere of the manga. That sick athmosphere, feeling that its not a place where something holy will happen, but something demonic and rotten. The world is truly dead in this place. |
| I really like the combination of puck and guts LOL! puck is so kawaii ^_^ and guts is so badass, Such a cute & badass team haha |
 |
| That soundtrack is epic, and Guts slicing those Kushan soldiers like butter was marvelous. |
| The moment the song played when Guts pulls out the big ass sword: epic. Good thing the bloody scenes were not censored. That torture chamber was really disturbing, though. Why isn't that old fart dead yet? Probably best episode so far. |
  |
You know the setting is truly bleak after realizing that the only glimmer of hope is this guy...THE SkullKnight! |
| Gotta say best episode so far. Hai yo really rocks everytime it plays, Guts slaying those kushans and wheel ghosts was really cool. I love the Puck and Isidoro dynamic its just lighten the mood. The torture scenes looked not so scary and pretty lame must be the crappy CGI. Also best girl Luca looked really beautiful still the sex scene looked lame again because CGI. Oh dear watching Casca like this still really hurts, GRIFFFFITH! |
| The torture part was really like the manga, that's a good point to this bad animation... Luca have such a good heart... |
 |
| Am I the only one that thinks the CGI is decent? I loved the 1998's art style but I think the CGI in this is pretty good by CGI TV anime standards; it's smooth and the shading adds a Valkyria Chronicles feel to it. I would prefer a full budget, mostly hand-animated show of course but I feel people are underestimating the level of effort and detail in this for a TV show. The camera angles and directing are absolutely solid. |

The screenshot, that was probably the most effective scene to me. |
| I missed Luca's nipples :'( |

| Great episode! Berserk destroying the Kushans was awesome to watch. Really, I'm enjoying every episode of the show and I hope it continues until where the manga is now so Kentaro Miura can finish the story. Everyone who reads the manga giving it a low score just because it's not perfect, the way you want it, are just losing the chance of enjoying a good show with lots of fan service for those who reads the manga. I can only feel sorry! |
That was my favourite part of the episode! He is probably one of the most interesting characters in the manga in my opinion. (from what I've read so far anyway!) |
TheCoondog said: That was my favourite part of the episode! He is probably one of the most interesting characters in the manga in my opinion. (from what I've read so far anyway!) I would call him colourful not necessarily interesting. From my conclusions about him and his group, and essentially the entirety of religion/the Vatican (I think they are called like that?), basically they are believing in a hollow religion, and these guys are just completely brainwashed fanatics who commit terrible acts in the name of religion (though some good ones too, but mostly bad). But at the end of the day, they are fools believing in fake/hollow Gods, and are eventually turned into demon slaves by the real evils. |
| The fight scenes, music and voice acting make this series easily worth watching. People need to stop throwing hissy fits over animation. |
Ulquiorra said: [2]Religion is scary, too scary. I hate the art of this anime, but beside this, the story, soundtrack and the ending music are awesome. Love them. |

| I created this in Dark Souls 3 :D |
 [アウサマ95] |
| oh damn the torture chamber. Isodoro following guts. Demon wheel omg |
| spent half of the episode thinking how great this would be without the CGI... |
| As someone also watching Ushio and Tora, a retro anime remade LAST YEAR, god... this animation remains hideous, even in screen caps. And it's newer. CG doesn't work on living humans; they look like wood without any texture. thepath said: Another great episode. Everything was good, the OST, the sex scenes, the torture scens, the fight against the kushan. Fuck animation haters. You don't need ufotable animation to enjoy an anime It doesn't help, but I understand your point. The fact is, this amazing series was done low budget by, let's be honest here, essentially hacks, and the animation is the least of its problems. I mean, come on, they only have ONE really great piece of music and after two episodes, already they're overusing it. As someone said, it's going to ruin the impact of it, but it's all they have. It's the definition of desperation. And so what if now it's trying to follow the manga as faithfully as possible? The whole journey up to it is still botched. It just makes no sense to me to even bother with this any longer. I'm past settling for "Oh, well, it's okay. Better than nothing". It should always be about the big picture. I'll say it again, maybe in 25 years, when it's done (hopefully), ALL of Berserk will finally get the adaptation it deserves and we can all forget about every other failure until now. rhap said: Great episode!

It's 26 episodes. If they were smart, it shouldn't go past the Tower of Conviction... but, of course it will. It's definitely not going to reach where you're thinking, though. |

| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
| Please just stop showing tits if they're gonna be nippleless, so bad looking and distracting. |
| It's getting better with each episode, may end up raising the score from 3 to 4 if this keep up. |
 |
Indeed, on faces especially it's a giant sin to use it. Makes it near impossible to read and connect with the characters properly. |
| Liked how the prostitutes helped each other and that one customer also seemed like a nice guy. Looking forward to the evil inqusitor guy. He is making funny faces ha ha. |

As someone said, it's going to ruin the impact of it, but it's all they have. It's the definition of desperation. I understand the concern. But they havent used the track, except once in episode 2, when Guts escaped from the Holy Knights camp, and twice in this episode. Prior to that, he had around 7 or 8 fight scenes. Not one of them used it. But I agree, hearing it twice in one episode stands out.. |
| Full morbidity to the max! Looks like Guts found 2nd follower Isidro (from ep1) Damn Guts is really insanely ape strong! MAN! whooo! 5/5! |
 |
Axelucard said: damn that was awesome and the ost is really good and that square face monk is just fucking sick. So i guess it's a normal thing that women don't have nipples lol Torture, gore, horse rape - ok Nipples - offensive af, get that shit out of here |
Not just any nipples but female ones! D:  |
| Pretty decent episode, I thought. The bad art and animation continues to be distracting, but it's not insufferable. It even has its moments (some of the fighting sequences, the torture room, THAT FACE) |
| Isidoro? Come on, Crunchyroll. It's Isidro. Sawashiro's voice. wew. Another decent episode. |
| wasnt too entheused about watching this episode....this episode i can say was definitely better than the previous. this probably has to do with the series not jumping all over the place this time. guess the series is gonna settle into the story finally. it just might be looking up n up from here. the animation is still bothersome but animation doesnt override good story. |
| Dark Souls everywhere, I love to discover its origin. Fortunately, the episodes are getting better and better. The first part when Guts appears was epic |
| If there was ever a reason to be an Atheist...well... |

| Sausage whip ~ sausage nae nae ~ sausage whip whip ~ Guts was so bad ass stepping in when the Kushans were about to kill the ginger. I guess in some twisted way, the Kushans saved the ginger and brought Guts to him (in a way). Puck's food tax is excessive then again, since the ginger's life was spared/saved then it's a small token of gratitude. That tent sex scene was fucking weird and cringeworthy. Nipple-less breasts do absolutely nothing for me. I'm guessing the blonde girl has an STD of sorts? I doubt it's just her period, they wouldn't freak that much over it. Honestly, I'm enjoying Berserk more than I thought I would. I was being an asshole by judging its CGI-ness, which still can be annoying but it doesn't deter from its story. I'm upping my rating because the story gets better with each episode. |
| 臭い- |
| Came for Hai Yo♫ and Miyuki Sawashiro, left satisfied. Keep it up Berserk 2016. |

| While the CG is bloody awful, the thing that truly distracts me in the fights is the direction. It feels very clunky and confusing. The music is very nice but the technical problems still hamper my enjoyment of the fights up to this episode. I know it's from the source material but the comedy really works against it, especially the super deformed expressions. (not specifically from this episode, just saying in general) |

| Nice torture room. Farnese seemed more shocked than excited at the sight of it. |
