Berserk: The Golden Age Arc - Memorial Edition

It has it all. Emotion, story, guts and gore, mystery, Just the best. Looks like a great rework of the berserk anime in 1997. Still the same, but high quality. Maybe good for people that are new to the story. Can be partially compared with Dark Souls, the game. A hack and slash with a lot of mystery and good use of music and image to frighten :). If you like that, watch it! Wait for the end, trust me.

I hope there will finally be more in the future, even though the berserk anime in 2016 was not so popular as the one in 1997, the story deserves a continuation. I am really looking forward to it and hope that the manga is not the only way to see the whole story.

In the 1997 series, they already successfully reflected these parts of the manga. Then a movie trilogy was made in 2012-2013. I think that was unnecessary anyway, but this Memorial Edition version makes no sense. Taking the movie trilogy and dividing it into episodes and releasing it again as if it were a series is like kicking a dead horse. The series in 2016-2017 could have been much more successful if there had been a real effort instead of spending time and resources on these things. If you're not interested in doing something new with Berserk, at least stop ruining what has been done well in the past.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR MAKING THIS REAL. I read the manga and watched all previo series this one has really good style i know its cgi looking but still the way they put it all together is great. I am really gonna enjoy this series. I hope they keep doing all the undone parts as well. Berserk deserve this and Kentaro Miura will be honored to have a series this good for its masterpiece. I cant wait to see other episodes as well. Arigato gozaimasu to all japanese folks out there. The voices sound different but its probably because of me since its been quite a while for me too. Everything about the show is great. I hope they continue.

In my view this is the absolute best version of the Goldern Age story ark (AKA Season 1) of Berserk. An absolute MUST SEE for any Anime enthusiast. Yes I understand that it does skip some of the lore from the manga but the core of the story arc is there and polished to its absolute best! I tried also going through the original 1997 version that many claim as more accurate but I absolutely could not digest the low res designs and the crappy cheap animation.. If you can endure with this maybe you can get some more depth in the lore from the older version but be aware that it is also incomplete at many points and leaves you with a cliffhanger... We need more Berserk at the Memorial Edition quality!

Even though this is technically a new presentation of the same animation from the film trilogy, it is clearly so much better and touched up in comparison. The pacing is wonderful. It feels so much more akin to the original anime than before. The little bits of newly added content covered so many small but iconic moments that NEEDED to be part of the story for the overall vibe that is Berserk. Concise and gets the point across while still honoring the source material. They really blew it out of the water. If you can't access the OG anime and don't wanna read the manga, this is it. This is the one. I love it so much.
