i wouldn't disagree. i'd assume the content especially that nutso sex-cult shit will be smoothed over regardless of the release format.

That's like the best part, man.

From the start of the Inquisitor arc to the end of the introduction of the little witch was Berserk at its best, I think. Then the plot started going nowhere with the invasion.

[KAL2006]

im not getting my hopes up unless this is going to be a series, if it is just a movie I will be disappointed.

What it needs more than anything else

[Jexhius]

Trim parts, and then trim even more as they cut out the violent and over the top content!

Well, they hardly did that in the original anime.

[andymcc]

A television commercial narrated by singer, actor, and well-known Berserk fan Gackt will promote the release of the 35th manga volume. Four versions of the commercial will run from Wednesday, September 29 to October 3. The official website will re-open after a revamp on Tuesday at about 9:30 a.m. with the television commercial and a separate, web-only commercial. In addition, an official Twitter account, "Berserk_project," has launched.

more news from ANN.

advertising on TV... new TV series?

i agree dude. hate to see it get neutered.

Well, they hardly did that in the original anime.

there were several cuts, but, if this is a TV show, modern Japanese TV anime is considerably less violent than it used to be... especially if it's going to air on TV Tokyo like the original did.

[Equus Bellator Apex]

I don't think I like you.

:-(

[BattleMonkey]

Well, they hardly did that in the original anime.

Except they did, there was a ton of cuts in the original anime compared to the manga.

[Jexhius]

Oh, I thought you meant cutting out gore altogether and other stuff altogether.

But I mentioned on the last page that there were plenty of cuts, wisely.

Maybe not more than anything else, but yes, I agree with you that it's a damn perfect fit.

[TheKaeptain]

Time to change pants...

[Griffith]

Absolutely.

[Monroeski]

People are going to think it's a continuation of the first anime. It wont be :lol

Which is kind of a good thing IMO.

What they would gain in removing the cliffhanger ending they would lose in making just another generic shonen anime with gore and rape tacked on. I stopped reading a while after the little witch girl joined and you could practically see a power level reading over Guts' head.

[Docpan]

To do this right, they need to start over from the beginning, and create a huge 100+ episode saga. There's just too much story to try to truncate it and cut out characters like they did in the first show.

Second, Berserk is all about the action. If they don't significantly increase the budget and make sure the animation is on point, they may as well not do it at all. The 97 series looks like shit--- the amount of still frame pans and off camera actions was laughable.

[UnholySpectacle]

I would not mind them telling the story from the beginning again as long as they continue past where the original series left off. Probably not going to happen though.

[K.Sabot]

The only anime I ever enjoyed beginning to end, BRING IT ON.

ALL OVER MY FACE

[Monroeski]

::edit::

nm, read it wrong.

[Askia47]

Wasnt this news leaked a while back? good news though!

[sprsk]

Keeping my expectations low.

[Scrow]

absolutely fucking LOVED the first Berserk anime. tried to get into the the manga, but it just didn't stick for me. can't wait to see how this anime turns out.

[projekt84]

i can die a happy man.

You'll die before it ever finishes.

[Kabuki Waq]

Keeping my expectations low.

yep this would be best.

[andymcc]

You'll die before it ever finishes.

:lol so true.

yep this would be best.

i keep telling myself that, but, i can't help it.

[zoukka]

Damn son.

[andymcc]

Damn son.

i know lots of people with a similar problem. blows my mind.

[Jexhius]

Keeping my expectations low.

Considering there are so many, many ways this could go horribly wrong, this is a wise course of action.

[GuitarAtomik]

[jmdajr]

reason to watch anime again!

[distantmantra]

especially if it's going to air on TV Tokyo like the original did.

NTV, not TV Tokyo.

[Equus Bellator Apex]

YES!
Another Hot Rod fan!

[andymcc]

NTV, not TV Tokyo.

yeah. i forgot which logo the pig belonged to. :lol

[Imm0rt4l]

*Humps the air furiously

[Nappuccino]

That's like the best part, man. From the start of the Inquisitor arc to the end of the introduction of the little witch was Berserk at its best, I think. Then the plot started going nowhere with the invasion.

That is when i stopped reading (I think maybe they were on a boat? Or was that before the guy possessed all those animals Either way, I got to about that spot of the manga.

Does it pick up again or Is it not worth reading? I really preferred it when each enemy was iconic and noteworthy in design (even if they were only existing to be cut down in 3 pages)... all of those similar designs ruined it for me as much as anything else.

[Imm0rt4l]

I've been in an anime depression/slump, but news on my favorite manga ever getting a new anime seriously lights a fire up under my ass. I think I'm going to re-read it.

[flawfuls]

Considering there are so many, many ways this could go horribly wrong, this is a wise course of action.

Watch this be a single OVA with SD characters packaged with a volume of the manga.

[Xater]

YES! YES! YES!

This series deserves another great anime.

[Imm0rt4l]

Watch this be a single OVA with SD characters packaged with a volume of the manga.

SHUT UP YOUR WHORE MOUTH! >:(

I guess I probably shouldn't get so excited :(.......*gets unhyped

[Ducarmel]

finally, no loli please.

[MechaX]

I usually hate super-medieval fantasy stuff, but I ended up liking Berserk a lot more than I thought I would (Record of Lodoss War too, but that's another story). Hopefully they'll just pick up where the last anime left off.

[Siyou]

So for anyone planning to get this, I'd say there's almost no reason to not get it. If one volume cost $14, you should pretty much be set with a dvd box at the cost of 2, maybe 3 manga volumes

[Chemo]

What the fuck

[y2dvd]

Funny, that ps2 game link got me even more hype for this anime!

[Hellsing321]

So is going to be by studio 4c? I remember that thread where a gaffer leaked pictures from some berserk project

[TheGoldenGunman]

Wow great news!

[Omnicent]

I'm excited about this, yet sad. Sad because I know that Miura will probably put out like 8 chapters (too hopeful?) by the time the new anime series finishes.

If this series follows the manga (and doesn't have some filler ending and waits for chapters to continue it's plot) then I'll be bumping this thread in 15ish years.

Oh and for the hell of it Beast Within (DDL) This is one of the best Berserk fan videos ever and gives a good retrospective of the series.

[Sunflower]

This will be exciting. I would like to see it not worry about the previous anime and focus on an arc or two from the manga. I would like to see the Mozgus arc, or the Roshinu one. <3 Or where he gets the...gets the armor. <3

shaking my facepalm

[duckroll]

So this is true? Remember the gaffer who leaked info and screens that this friend at Studio 4C has been working on a new Beserk anime for years? Maybe it's true after all! :o

[Jexhius]

shaking my facepalm

I picture one has to be locked into the facepalm, then the head shake begins. It's an impressive manoeuvre.

So this is true? Remember the gaffer who leaked info and screens that this friend at Studio 4C has been working on a new Beserk anime for years? Maybe it's true after all! :o

Or, considering how long it's been a whole project could have been shut down and another one started up!

If it is the same, then a few thing can be roughly guessed.

Really good video, but the music ruins it for me.
