Double post I know

But I got away with it... $43.97 in stead of $64 they fixed the price shortly after I posted the last one

Hope you all got on the band wagon

Triple post

SO it is amazing difference in quality to the show... of course I have upgraded my TV to a 4K 55" 60hrz and 7.1 surround sound head phones with playing it on the xbox with xbox sonic is AMAZING... still has the issues of story and pace... although they might have a couple of add-in scenes not to sure... and the nipples don't hurt either

Downside: American voice acting is off for some of the characters, but I will just switch to Japanese audio... they have to bring back the original voice actor for Guts and stop saying Casca the way they do ... almost as bad as the last air bender and the way they were pronouncing the name, takes me right out of the scene cause I got to think about it... not a lot of extras but that's ok see how it go the limited for the same price as the regular

All in all worth the money... if you guys want to learn more... GO BUY IT YOUR SELFS... damn dirty pirates

Casket one its like a southern draw thing... and the voice actor is no where near as good... either that or the director didn't care when writing the English version of the script... read the manga and put the words from the manga directly in the fucking anime is that so hard

That's it I am going to FUnimation and demanding the job to review and green light Berserk related content... I will even volunteer

I actually got a minor in linguistics, so I can tell you the International Phonetic Alphabet's (IPA) transcription of Caska's name you're using:

[kʰæska] (How Starnum probably says it)
[kaska] (How a Japanese person would probably say it)

[æ] is the Near-Open Front Unrounded vowel, and it appears in English in words like "cat" [kæt], "bat" [bæt], "rat" [ɹæt], or as you've already said, "basket" [bæskɪt].

[a] is the Open Front Unrounded vowel, and it's a little bit harder to pin-point in English, because it doesn't appear that often. The most common example is in the word "hot" [hat] (click here for example), but people in the west of the US, like me, usually say [hɑt] with an Open Back Unrounded vowel instead (which appears in words like "rot" [ɹɑt], "bot" [bɑt], and "stalk" [stɑkʰ]), so it's hard to show this example to people sometimes.

The other thing there is the [k] sound (called Voiceless Velar Stop) which I wrote with an aspiration [kʰ]. In English, words that begin with a [k] are aspirated, in that there's a little bit of air rushing out after pronouncing the [k] and before pronouncing the following vowel. But it's not aspirated if it appears elsewhere (hence why the second [k] wasn't aspirated). Although I'm not quite sure of this second rule I made up, it's probably not so universal; it's just that I don't hear it in the word "Caska".

Anyway, I agree with Starnum's reasoning on why Caska's name is most likely [kʰæska] or something closer to it, but I would need to know exactly where and when it comes from to conclude more precisely.

I will capture the audio and post it tomorrow.

Didnt mean to make such a fuss over it its just the little things

I think this is the best video I've seen so far to summarize the series.

The blu ray definitely better. Too bad they went a bit fast in season 2. With that pace season 3 pretty much not going to happen now.

Or I am glad they went fast with season 2 for me to see the berserker armor and schierke.. Now it seems season 3 is not happening.

Too bad, while I was looking for season 3 update, majority of what I see are complain and such. Most Want to start all overall again. If when Dark Horse was selling Berserk manga like hot cake couldn't get Berserk a new 26ep season, then at this point I was just happy.

I am 33 and I was into Berserk when I was 15. Without season 3, I will just keep waiting for the chapter to piles up for few more years before I start reading again.

Starnum wrote:Final got around to ordering the Bluray for season 1 (2016). It's a world of difference in quality from the TV version, to say the least. If you wanna show the new anime to your friends, you need the Bluray version for sure. Granted the dub sucks, but that's what subs are for.

Oh, and they say Casca correctly, but they call Farnese (Far-nay-say), lmao.

Right on glad you jumped on the train instead of the pirate ship

I hate the way they say both of the names I always pronounced Farnese as Fairness which I know is wrong but it sounds good in my head

I am glad that you think the dub sucks Ishidoro was probably the only voice I liked.... and puck and Erica and Godo... well there are a couple that were fitting but the emotion was not there or off putting.

Hope season 2 comes out soon ish and season three can wait till someone gets their shit together and starts for the beginning again... fuck I wish this could come out in chronological order just like the manga... wish in one hand shit in the other see what one fills first
