Berserk: Ougon jidai-hen III - Kourin

OK we need the rest of the parts now. Ending was incredible and if anyone has actually read the manga I'm sure you will understand we need more, we NEED the rest.

"Berzerk: The Golden Age Arc I-III" = 7.9

It's not often that I find myself rooting for a man to slaughter people, for any reason. And yet, I never stopped rooting for Guts once. The Berzerk films sport a thoroughly engaging dark fantasy narrative, supported by entertaining and well animated action scenes. This series effortlessly glides between very funny and very serious, whichever it's trying to be at any given moment. The only real problem I have is that the dialogue can be really cheesy, clunky, if not simply detached from reality. Chalk it up to the translation, I suppose. Regardless, this film series is the sort of thing I show to people who think anime is silly, nothing but Dragon Balls and Narootoes, and it rarely fails to open minds to this huge world of animated cinema.

This is the peak of what the Berserk trilogy has to offer in terms of drama, gore, nudity.

It is an extraordinary conclusion for this rather disturbing saga. The battles are as abundant in this film then it is predecessor, but they surpass everything, speaking of bloodshed. The motivations of those battles are more than ever relevant to the theme and the plot of the saga so we are enormously concerned about their outcome for our 3 protagonists.

However, be warned this anime is probably not for everyone. it deals with bizarre imagery, many torture sequences, rape, depression, shattered friendship, etc.

I loved the original series of Berserk and this movie series has been a great addition. The animation work is superb, crisp, clear and colourful, it's a pleasure to watch. Last review I wasn't too happy but I understand they are fast-forwarding through the story. If you've seen the original series, you'll still enjoy this for it's visual treat, and if you're new you'll like it all the same hopefully. The story of Berserk is great, I hope they stick to it faithfully. Anyhow if you're looking for an entertaining anime series to watch, definitely check this out you won't be disappointed. And now my review has come to 10 lines I can end it respectfully, check this out! :)

This is my favorite part, I can't describe it. The least thing I will say is this part that will shock you
