However, the transposition of the manga promises to be complicated between the extreme violence and the quirky tone so particular to Fujimoto’s work. The first episodes already validate this. For the quality of the animation, we do not worry. With such commercial potential, it makes sense to see Japan’s biggest animation studio, MAPPA ( Jujutsu Kaisen), take care of the adaptation. One day, he dies violently, but the contract that bound him with Pochita brings him back to life. With the help of Pochita, a demon-chainsaw dog, he hunts down demons to pay off his debts. In a world where humans coexist with demons, Denji, a young man without money, works for a mafia. Here is now the new darling of the public, chain saw manmulti-award winning manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto ( Fire Punch). However, for any passionate Berserk-fan, this should not be a deal-breaker, as it is still a great movie, true to the original story.We have had The attack of the Titansthen Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen. This will create some moments which new viewers couldn't possibly make full sense of. 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.
