But the dvd box sets are

ep7-12
You sure it's not 12 eps? I mean the next ep is the end of the arc...

Just like Aria on the movies, the only Berserk-thing of this project.

I don't even know how I'm supposed to feel about this. David Productions better announce that they'll be running a Part 5 anime at the same time or else I don't know how I'm going to be able to cope after watching it.

It'll sound just like St. Anger.

Will they even have enough frames available to them to animate
?

God damn it...
They can always cut and mix more chapters to save some.

I feel like the art style and animation improved over the course of these episodes so I am cautiously optimistic

As poor as the anime was for me personally, you can't argue that it hasn't brought exposure to berserk. Multiple people I know are reading the manga now and the anime studio were apparently behind the game so can't really complain too much.

Well I'm just glad we'll see
the Slan fight at the least.
In other words, it was a (split) 2-cours series after all.

They will show Berserk Musou footage, those unaware of what it is will rejoice claiming the animation finally got good.

They have to in order to understand what is going on in this mess.
At least the first series was more consistent in character development and story.
I doubt even a second season will tidy things up

AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Nothing could have topped the monstrosity that was this episode than the preview saying more is to come with the armor with some shiny red eyes.

I actually never quite understood what happened in that scene in the manga. spoilers ahead.
Wasn't he was just dreaming?

The Falcon of Light appeared in a vision to Zodd. He tried his luck against it but got schooled. It inflicted a wound in his astral body, and when he wakes, you can see the damage in his physical form
Quite satisfied with the midseason finale. Aside from those first couple hideous episodes, this series more than satisfied my desire to see more animated Berserk. Could it have been better? Absolutely. But the animators clearly improved episode to episode, and I think they're going to get better next Spring. Hopefully there are improvements to the Blu-ray release a la Sailor Moon Crystal.
Wish Berserk Musou was coming out sooner. :/

Last few episodes where not bad just fine they nailed the Mozgus fight and the other Inqusitors. Griffith looked wonky when saw his face on but it no where near shit as people make out. I think just used to poor animation quality and ready to see trolls, Serpico fucking up shit and Neo Band of Hawk

Totally agree. I'm not a fan of the series but there are some positives to take from it. The dream is always to get a high anime production and more exposure is one of the ways for this. Only concern for season 2 is whether they will consider jumping ahead of arcs to get to where the teaser hinted.

Im fine if they skip a bit ahead. This is not a high budget, unlimited 50+ episode run. They need to pick and choose what they can do.

How come Zodd looks like a cat with down's syndrome?
They played Ash Crow over a Joachim scene.
3/10.

Am I the only one that imagines Zodd being red? Cause in my head Zodd's red, this isn't the Zodd that I imagined. That's right nobody attack the pretty naked man just basking in the fucking sunlight. Griffith just rose like a Phoenix from Arizona. Zodd's just going ham on these normal blokes. Why is out of shape Farnese walking faster than Serpico can run? Next season I get to see them fuck up
yay!!!!!

lol this is basically my reaction.
The last episode was a fucking mess, even some funny Puck antics couldn't save it. Poor, seemingly random music direction, bad 2D, bad 3D, long drawn out scenes with the two shitty sub characters, nonsensical Kushan suicide, Derp Griffith and Derp Zodd, just all around awful.
Oh well, at least it's over. Hopefully the next season isn't as rough as this one was.
With this season of Berserk coming to an end, I feel you guys can use a laugh:

So interesting to note is that the director of this season is writing/directing another season of Teekyu, which starts in about two weeks.
I'm not 100% sure how anime schedules work, but that seems like quite a bit of production overlap.
And then if Berserk is aiming for spring instead of summer, you'd assume it would immediately roll into production so as to keep all the staff working - which might point to a different director?

Griffith looked terrible, and I enjoyed most of this season. Hyped at the next season preview though. Didn't think it was gonna happen.

He looked like a graceful beautiful antelope, which seemed fairly appropriate. 'Blood and Guts' never fails to get my heart racing. It was a nice way to end the season and made up for episode eight of Farnese's redundant introspection slowing everything to a crawl.
I feel like the botched the impact of his stare at Guts by using some sort of weird frame blending that took all the snappiness out of it.
Overall, the more I think about it, the more I'd trust the original dub cast to really make the most of the scenes. I know a dub was announced, but I hope they don't cheap out from the original cast and we end up with Vic Mignogna as Guts.

Still can't believe how terribly bad the show has been, the ugliness of it all is driving me mad, everytime the memory of a scene pops in my mind it shatters and darkens it slowly.
I lost it at the music again this time ; everything being so amateurish makes me question life, and embrace insanity.
Those guitar riffs at the sight of a blue kitten and a poorly drawn griffith have launch me into space at full throttle.
I am now past Voyager-1 and everything is so dark and bleak, I can't hear anything anymore and my sight is getting worse, time and space have started expanding at 15fps around me.
I'm so cold...
I'm going to lie down guys, don't wait for me...
I just...
I just need a little rest...
