Episode 1 was reasonable but it soon fell into empty fan service moments, spells and places. The story line was rushed, the monsters were actually worse than even the PS3 version of the game. They were flat and texture-less, a total disappointment.
There were characters in it like the pawn "Hannah" who was a magik archer? That wasn't possible for pawns. Also she's clearly aesthetically based on Ser Mercedes but with blonde hair. Guess they didn't want to plagiarise Caska from Berserk by going down the Mercedes road.
Then fake Madeline, basically Madeline but not a trader, just a large breasted blonde woman with an idiotic husband... and fake Julien, except he's not a devious, plotting, bully.
I never had much hope for this but after episode 1, the Arisen really has no positive or redeeming personality traits. His eyes keep going red when he gets angry and the story doesn't make sense. There no time spent getting to know any characters or any places. We never meet the Duke or find out the the things we do in the game.
I've probably finished the game on PS3, PS4 and PC more than 30 times and this anime adaption with its weird half drawn half virtually rendered visuals and leapfrogging story just makes me ashamed.
Maybe people who haven't played the game will think it's good though, who knows? I sure as hell don't.
