wonder what you guys think of the CGI Berserk in 2016/2017?
Also, there's a rumor going around that the guy who made Castlevenia anime adaptation on Netflix wants to adapt Berserk alongside with Devil May Cry. Even though the Berserk is not confirmed, DMC will be integrated to the Castlevenia as a crossover or some sort.
I thought the CGI Berserk from 2016/2017 was pretty good, overall. Sure I wasn't used to the jerky looking animation and definitely wasn't expecting it (until it was officially announced and etc). However, the continuation of the storyline and introduction of new characters were handled well, IMO. A lot of people really disliked this adaptation and some down right hate it, but given that we get to see the events after the original TV series/movie trilogy, I would say the animation quality can be overlooked. I care more about the story and characters of Berserk way more than the animation quality. Don't get me wrong, though. I would definitely have liked it to be non-CGI rather than what we saw in the end product.
As for the rumored Netflix adaptations, if these rumors are true, I hope they adapt a standalone series for Berserk to continue with the storyline left off at the end of the 2016/2017 CGI Berserk series. Hopefully they'll use a more traditional animation style and not a weird CGI infused animation style we saw in the latest Berserk incarnation.
