Defend the Quality and Integrity of the Berserk Franchise from Adi Shankar


Defend the Quality and Integrity of the Berserk Franchise from Adi Shankar
The Issue
As someone deeply invested in the world of anime and manga, it is painful to see beloved franchises compromised by inadequate production. This petition is a call to prevent Adi Shankar, a producer known for his involvement in controversial animated adaptations such as Castlevania and Devil May Cry, from working on Berserk. His previous works have often been heavily criticized for their poor animation quality and writing style, often compared unfavorably to "cringe-worthy TikTok content". His works have also been accused of incorporating elements that are foreign to the source material, such as unnecessary political and anti-religious themes.
Berserk, a much-loved franchise with a passionate fanbase, deserves a faithful adaptation that respects its distinctive narrative and unforgettable characters. We want to preserve the exceptional storytelling and intricate character development that makes Berserk beloved by its fans. We must act to ensure that Berserk is not subjected to the same subpar adaptation quality.
Let's protect Berserk from falling into the same pitfall as other franchises under Shankar's production. This call is not just for fans of Berserk, but for all anime and manga enthusiasts who believe in the preservation of original narratives and quality adaptations. Please, join us in saying 'NO' to Adi Shankar’s involvement in the Berserk franchise. Sign this petition today.
