Synopsis: Guts, known as the Black Swordsman, seeks sanctuary from the demonic forces that pursue him and his woman, and also vengeance against the man who branded him as an unholy sacrifice. Aided only by his titanic strength, skill, and sword, Guts must struggle against his bleak destiny, all the while fighting with a rage that might strip him of his humanity. Berserk is a dark and brooding story of outrageous swordplay and ominous fate, in the theme of Shakespeare's Macbeth.
QUOTE (franzoir @ Mar 31 2016, 12:05 PM)This sounds sad and pathetic but it has taken me 4 years to work out what it is about Game of Thrones that rubs me the wrong way. Late last year I had the epiphany that Berserk is the original Game of Thrones and it all made sense. I have a love-hate relationship with Berserk. I was wayyyyyyy too young when I watched the original anime. It ended sooo horrifically with no resolution in sight. It was too much for my young mind to handle.
Even so...Berserk is one of those things where I am desperate for the end of the story. I cant read the manga because reading is a much more intimate experience than watching something and I just cant do it. So glad there is a new anime with new material. Been waiting maybe 14 years for it.also ep.1 isn't censored but, many manga chapters are skipped (flashbacks?)
