Mini reviews

The King of Fighters (2010)

Had no idea this movie was even made until recently. Now I know why. Probably the worst offense is that Mai is flat chested. Mai is flat chested people!

If you enjoyed: - Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li
- DOA: Dead or Alive (2006)
- Dragonball Evolution
- Tekken (2010)

Then you'll just loooove this movie




Berserk Golden Age Arc I: Egg of the Supreme Ruler

I think there are a few Berserk fans on here so I thought I'd share my short opinion.

I was really excited when I heard about a potential new series. Berserk is one of the few anime series I truly love. I was huge fan of the 90's anime and the manga is awesome as well (I don't favor one over the other). Turns out they will be in movie format, starting with 3 releases for this year.

Then I saw it. Heh.

What the hell. What did they do to Berserk!? The CGI (I believe it uses the "cell shading" technique?) is awful. I hate to be sheep but I think of nothing but Ps2 graphics when I see this. The colors can be really bright at times and gives off a clean feel. A complete contrast to what I believe Berserk should look like.

However, the backgrounds are nice and the animation (2d and 3d) can be really fluid. But, it can also be the opposite.

The story skips The Black Swordsman arc and starts off with Bazzuso.
Long story short, it finishes at the point where Guts assassinates two Royal family members and all under 2 hours. How is this possible? Like this!

- Barely any character development
- Missing characters and arcs
- Rushed plot = awful pacing
- Short fight scenes (More realism as a pro I guess)

I think this was intended for Berserk fans only. Otherwise what would non-Berserk fans think when the Eclipse happens?

Stick to the manga.
