The original Berserk anime had cut out some very important plot points though, because of editing for time. Iâm curious how theyâre going to work around this ⌠are they going to ignore the previous show or not? Are they going to go back and redo the Golden Age stuff again? Thereâs a lot of things about this new show that could turn out less than ideal âŚ
Itâs still awesome news though. Berserk is a great manga.
Just going by the shorts they have up Iâd say they are more likely to start from the beginning, which is probably for the best. After all, if you are hoping to make more than just one series out of it youâve got to add in Puck, whoâs role has gotten at least a bit more significant as time has gone on. I wouldnât mind a complete reboot, especially if they donât end it until AFTER the eclipse has ended, rather than right before the end.
Hellsing Ultimate has given me hope that a remake of Berserk that follows the manga could be truly successful.
My guess is theyâll just go over the Black Swordsman and Golden Age arcs in as few episodes as they can without rushing like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and then move on to the new stuff. I am kind of curious how much theyâll show in terms of the gore and ecchi content since quite a few anime have raised the bar from when the original Berserk anime came out.
Now I wonder if weâll ever see an Outlaw Star sequelâŚ
Iâd like to see more yuri-themed games. Adaptations of manga like , say, Strawberry Panic, First Love sisters, Hen, Maka Maka or even Devil Lady.
Letâs see:
-A better Anime Adaptation of Ah! Meagami-sama than the last one we got. (While the one we got wasnât bad it jumped around way too much for my liking.)
-An Anime adaptation of Brave Soul (with the canon Claire ending of course)
-A Brand new Space Stars series from Hanna-Barbera, featuring Space Ghost, Teen Force, Herculoids and the Galaxy Trio.
-Final Fantasy VII PS3 Xbox 360 remake.
-Subtitled Space Battleship Yamato series here in the States.
a Starflight/Starcontrol (2?)/Elite inspired eroge. In terms of the gameplay, mostly. Something fairly free-form in terms of exploration, but with planets you can visit with characters you can talk to, things that lead into quests which lead into longer arcs or even entire routes that eventually result in completing the game. An eroge on a pretty epic scale as far as the amount of script that would be required; Iâm thinking the same way AliceSoft normally do things, but much bigger. I just think this sort of thing could very well be the ultimate marriage between story and gameplay, allowing a huge amount of scope and variety in both.
Things that are about as elusive as world peace and climate control:
Just one Idolm@ster game in English. Knowing how Namco Bandai translates maybe half of its Tales games, Iâd say that if there was ever a translation, then NB wouldnât be the one who made it.
A multiplayer romance game in English. There were two dating/life sims that fit this description during the PS1 era, but anything thatâs vaguely similar since then can basically be described as a chatroom game. I donât think any local multiplayer relationship game has been made in the last ten years.
A genuinely good sandbox game or western RPG with a cute aesthetic in English. (Sonic Chronicles wasnât bad, and Bumpy Trot had some potential, but I canât honestly recommend themâŚ)
More GxB games in English. (There are very few translated titles â there are now far more GxB games and VNs written in English.)
More BxB games. (Ditto.)
More GxG games. (Ditto.)
Finally, more games with complex and innovative gameplay. I like visual novels, but I like video games in general.
âŚAnd hereâs some things that happened in 2010 that made me say âWow, I never expected that!â:
I know its popular enough in the states Iâve had vendors keep saying they have people asking for Berserk merchandise, especially the action figure vendors, but cannot find it.
I donât think you need to worry about them toning it down. I can already imagine the backlash that would leave since most people familiar with would be coming to expect that. I think theyâd rather get a later showing than ruin their reputation. Whether or not they go further than the manga in the early arcsâŚ
Actually this makes me wonder if theyâll finally do a Wedding movie for Ranma 1/2 I member speculating with Toshifumi Yoshida about.
Considering this announcement, I wonder if weâll get a new Rurouni Kenshin season:
Apparently the new Berserk project is going to be a movie/series of movies rather than an OVA or anime. I can only hope that they donât try to shove too much into each movie and thus turn it into a disjointed, confusing mess.
Well it also depends on how long they make each movie. A 1 hour movie vs. a 3 hour movie are 2 different beasts. I doubt itâll be 3 hours as animated features are usually shorter, but 2 hours for animated movie is not unheard of.
And the Haruhi movie is over 2:30 hours
Localization of Daiteikoku. Its coming out soon.
Do to the success of the live action movie a new adaptation of the original Animated series is coming:

Now I wonder if theyâll update it like the movie with Yuki being a fighter pilot, instead of Dr. Sadoâs nurse.

Yamato is anime of my generation. I wonder what the new series will be like and if an old grognard like myself will be able to stand it.
I used to work in a local hobby store back in the Eighties, at a time when sparce quantities of Japanimation models were making an appeareance in U.S. markets, and there was this big, cut-away version of the Yamato that people were clammering for. It was really expensiveâsixty or seventy bucks (in 1980s dollars)-- and hard to find (I think there was just one company, Horizon, importing stuff like that), but I couldnât keep it on the shelves, until the day came that I could. Demand for it dried up just like that [snap!] My guess is that the punters finally found someplace else where they could get it cheaper; happened all the time in the hobby biz. I marked the last one down to twenty bucks and the box got pretty shopworn before it finally sold. Looking back, I suppose I should have bought it myself.
Do u mean the space battleship yamato?
mochiron
It looked like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Space-Battleship- ⌠B0045T1JDY which was manufactured by the same company, except that it had cut-outs so you could see the interior decks and such.
