I finally picked the original 'Berserk' anime over the 2016 remake for my rewatch

Everyone in my group chat said the 2016 version was the only way to go because of the new story arcs. I watched the first three episodes of the 2016 one and the CGI was so bad it gave me a headache. I switched back to the 1997 series, even though it only covers the Golden Age arc, and the hand-drawn art and music just hit different. Has anyone else stuck with the old version and felt it was the right call?

Totally made the right call. The 2016 version looks cheap and ruins the mood. The old art and music are just way better, even with less story.

Your friends are nuts, the 2016 CGI looks like a bad video game cutscene. The old one has soul, even if the story stops early.

Actually, the 2016 version was mostly practical effects, not CGI.
