Berserk Movie Announced
Epic masterpiece manga Berserk has been announced as being adapted into a series of movies.
Reportedly the movie is intended as the first of a series covering “all” of the original manga.
A wide variety of doubts and concerns have already surfaced, such as whether film will be an original story, which parts of the manga it will cover if not, and whether it will be a proper movie as opposed to highlights or otherwise.
On the other hand, some are hopeful that all the carnage and sex of the original will survive the transition to a movie in a way in which they could not in a TV anime – particularly in light of the fact the manga and any anime based on it is in danger of being banned from general sale in Tokyo, although unless strictly 18+ the movie would be subject to the same restrictions.
Okay, raise your hand if you remember seeing the Berserk TV anime. Who in their right mind would think this would work as a live action movie? And "ALL" of the manga?? There's 35 volumes right now and no end in sight for this violent story. Not to mention that anime/manga->live action never works. Death Note movies anyone? Dragon Ball Evolution??
Oh well. As long as it doesn't have the Berserk anime opening I guess we'll be okay.
