Berserk: The Golden Age Arc III - The Advent

A year after guts and Griffith part ways, he and the band of the hawk conduct a rescue mission to bail Griffith out of jail. I came across the first movie on Netflix and thought it was great, caught the second one on youtube and thought it was even better than the first, and bought this one off of iTunes and it was so intense and so brutal that it made Dante's inferno: an animated epic look like a walk in the park. The first two were action/adventure/war films, but this one was action, adventure, horror, and dark fantasy all rolled up into one. this is quite honestly the best animated film I've ever seen, and it's even better than the first two if you ask me. I definitely recommend the The berserk trilogy to fellow anime fans, they have great stories, great voice acting, they're filled with brutal action, they're creepy, they're dramatic, they're intense, they're raw, and they have insane amounts of gore. they won't be disappointed

The third installment of 'Berserk: The Golden Age Arc' movie series which was based on the manga series. As expected the movie didn't disappoint me but still first two are the epic compared to it. Yes first two were war genre, fully gore, awesome movies and this third one was slightly turned out fantasy-horror. After where it ended in second part I thought the revenge will commence in its follow-up story but it surprised me and took us on the different path.

This story follows after a year since Guts and Griffith parted. Some of the escaped Hawk bands prepare for the rescue mission in the Casca's stand-in command to bring back their leader. Soon, Guts join them, the rescue team becomes much stronger. Not wasting much time the mission commence and what comes next is the unexpected twist and theme transformation. The dark world unleashes, without a mercy it assault the heroes and leaves the unforgettable scars. The best part of all these three movies were the way the movie ended. It leaves something broad open which makes us to guess what will happen next like a mind twister.

Yeah I know most of the people like Guts and it is my favourite character as well. In this part The Griffith character was weakened but we knew it coming. As he was a mysterious character from the very first movie especially with his 'golden egg' I knew there must be some story behind it. This movie did not explain that portions very well, maybe we can expect that in the next part, I hope so. And Casca was as usual supported very well.

The sex scenes were stronger like in 'The Battle for Doldrey', so the movie is not suitable for everyone. Those who like sword-war theme and Anime especially gore will enjoy it. If you have not seen first two, begin with those, you will love this trilogy for sure. Now I am eagerly waiting for its fourth. Highly recommended for adults.

8/10

Emotionally scarring and very intense. The 2 previous Berserk movies have to be watched before taking this one on.

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.

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! :)
