Berserk: The Golden Age Arc - Memorial Edition

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!

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.

PLEASE CONTINUE.

I Thought of nothing else since seeing this anime. CRYING SO MUCH because of the themes raised.

PLEASE DON'T END THE ANIME. This is a real legacy for Kentaro Miura - may he RIP knowing that his legacy lives on and beyond him.

The way IT IS DRAWN IS GORGEOUS.

I WILL SUPPORT YOU IN PROMOTING THE GENIUS OF THIS ANIME.

The funny thing is, it deals with male rape that people never ever really do. It raises some real deep philosophical question about society and friendships.

I know a lot of people talk about the killing, death and murder but to me they were sound notes to this masterpiece.

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.
