I liked very much the original "Berserk" anime series, so when this movie was announced, I wasn't sure about what to expect.
However, I have to say that I'm pretty satisfied with what I saw, which keep all the good elements from the story, being a more ambitious adaptation of the comic created by Kentaro Miura, with all the possibilities that modern animation could offer.
The battle scenes from this movie are quite impressive and pretty well done, at first I had my doubts of use of CGI animation, but the final result was pretty well done. The designs were good too, even when I liked more the art from the first anime series, this does still have the essence of the source material, something that made this a more than worth-watching experience.
I now have high expectations about the sequels, and I hope that now the entire "Berserk" story get an animated adaptation.
