I just finished watching the third installment of this retelling and I quite enjoyed it. The makers have done a good job of not making the fact that it was 3d modeled as distracting in this installment. Which is good. It really turned me off of the remake in the first installment. So their technical prowess is a lot better.

However, I think I don't feel the same concept of horror from it. I mean it shows better Guts rage at the crowning of Griffith's deamonhood. It somehow fell short of the first retelling. I think this is mostly due to the director giving it more from Griffith's perspective. Dull blues, purples and grey of the views of a tortured soul sort of deal. Which is okay, but it lacks the stark red taint of guts and evil that the original conveyed much better. The first was visceral upheaval of genuine shock, and this was more of a whimper sacrifice for Griffiths rubes.

With the inclusion of, well death personified. It does better explain how Guts was still alive... but I had always guessed that was because his soul being tortured was somehow linked to Griffiths new power. After all the bailets were evil. Though that was just whimsical speculation on my part.

I've never read the comics so I'm not really sure on the basis for a lot of stuff. Though I enjoyed this show.
