Berserk (1997–1998)
5/10
Grittith just ruins everything for me

So, you've been told your whole life that you are a king, and then your friend gets a girl, who you like, and then you get captured, and you then decide to become a literal demon.

The illogical and emotion response of this "character" and his motivations has given me so much whiplash, that I still haven't fully gotten over it, several years later.

Calling it "jumping the shark" doesn't do it justice: He slaughters all his friends in cold blood, in painful and sadistic ways, because he's lonely and doesn't feel important. This wasn't setup in the slightest, and he goes from 1 to a million in a matter of a few scenes.

He was a fully flushed out character before his "fall", and his demonic design is cool and badass. But the transition between the two, is honestly laughable.
