There is a Lot of strange history about this show. An unexperienced director and writer that used to do kiddie-nonsense anime's, and so on, and it Shows the inexperience in this series. the Entire 1st season is badly shot, framed, scored, characterized, and on and on. the 3D animation is some of the Worst, and Ugliest, you'll ever see. The Pacing revs like a chainsaw and swings around like a hula-hoop. It's Bad, and they should have Seriously reconsidered their Entire strategy.

It's strange also that most of the guys that did the Movies Also did the series, and the Series used heavy blending of 2D and 3D: 3D for the action-intensive stuff, and 2D for most everything else, and it was Good. The Movie arc was a great addition, 7/10 for me, not as good as the 1997 version, but still good! Why did they Change something that was fundamentally solid and most everyone liked? I don't know 1 person that loves anime that would Ever say that 2D animation should be cut Completely from a show. the stark contrasts, the shadows, the realistic skyboxes and backgrounds... this was Art. Some would even use Paintings from Artists as backdrops and use 2D Over the backgrounds. There is No Art in Berserk 2016.

Filler Constantly, all the dialogue is terrible, there is no real connections with the characters or people, and you feel like you don't know Anything about them by the end. Quick, sloppy, awful. The Only reason it gets a 2/10 instead of a 1/10 is episode 4 where he has flashbacks of his time in '97, specifically the movie Arc series, but This is the blend of 2D and 3D that made the Movies so good. But, again, Quick, Sloppy. the entire second half is garbage and is almost unwatchable, But that first 15 or so minutes is just a callback to what it Could have been. Although, if the story was precisely the same I still would Not like it, because the story was just Terrible, nonsensical, and borders nonsense and stupidity. I did like the times he met certain characters he was searching for, and that battle in the swords was cool, but the show was just a Failure. It Failed because it had bad people at the helm that ran it into the ground. Such a shame.

This is a good Zombie movie, and is unique in many ways; However, the 3D animation is some of the Lowest quality I've ever seen, on the bad-level of Berserk 2016. the 2D animation is Great, however, and this really diversifies itself with a unique "memory" twist. The animation Style actually changes depending on whom is Remembering, which is just great. It shows the juxtaposition's of the survivors and their mentalities, and brings into question what is true and what is false, when though there's actually not much room for interpretation. the voice actors did a great job, and they seemed to play their roles seriously. Of course this is a B-movie, certainly, as it is a Zombie film after all, and you can tell the 3D engine was rushed; even though 3D is actually Way easier than 2D (which gets stranger the More you think about it as just Why is 3D so awful? I still can't figure is question out).

The story itself is believeable and realistic, assuming you played the First Game, Dead Space, which is a 9/10 game on my scale with an excellent story. It plays directly on that canon, and makes some serious lore contributions. I loved the 2D animation in this, as gruesome as it is, and it is that great because you can tell they put a Lot of effort into the 2D. You will like the characters, empathize and sympathize with them, and you can see just how debilitating the effects of this artifact are. It also brings up Many hints for Dead Space 2, also a 9/10 game on my scale with a great story.

I rate zombie movies and games Higher than other films As A Genre because zombie films and games get Bad support, and are usually low budget and terrible. This film, however, is actually supported by a big wallet and is surprisingly well-done considering the bigger the company gets the Worse the Artistic products that come out of it are. If you Love Dead Space 1 and 2, then this film is a must-own, but I'd still say the First DS film, Dead Space Downfall, is the better of the two.
