On the other hand, we get to see Guts and Griffith swinging their swords in a much more vivid graphical universe, which I think the story deserves! As the above mentioned mainly comes down to a matter of taste, the main problem with this movie is that it doesn't focus as much on character development as the original comic and animated series did. The much loved musical themes of the series have also been changed, something I expected, yet hoped would stay the same as I really liked them. The exclusion of some scenes and moments to the benefit of other, might make the movie feel as a summary of the series.
Many will compare this movie to the animated series, and yes, some things have changed, as this format is much more time-limited. This movie kicks ass! I was perhaps most amazed of the battles, which come off as extremely vivid and original. After several months of anticipation I just got to watch Berserk - The Golden Age Arc Chapter I - The Egg of the King, and as a fan of both the Manga Comic and the animated TV series, I was not the least disappointed.
