Will S Blood and Guts and Guts and Blood (Sub Version) (8/10) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Audience Member This is the best of the three movies. Superb characters and so much subtext. Sure the effects are bad in some scenes and the five stars may be biased since I read the manga but this is THE BEST STORY. It’s especially heartbreaking to rewatch when you know what happens at the end of the third movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review deth Berk , greatest of all time . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/23 Full Review james p If you have seen the 1997 anime or read the manga, this trilogy of films covers most of the entire series with new animation but it deserves a watch the battles, and landscapes feel much grander in spectre, especially at the beginning and I can understand the animation can be jarring at times but the story is just superb and very dark. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This trilogy of movies are awesome. The character progression of Guts and the world building truly are Epic. I only wish they kept going with the movies. These are based off of a Manga, and its a real page-turner. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The hybrid animation and battle sequences are astounding, as well as the political intrigue, curtailing the usual outlandish settings of the usual anime for a more grounded and somber approach. Arc 1 does nothing in trying to make a complete story on its own so not being able to advance the story through to its end can be frustrating.
