what the..?
so the anime is actually good?


I love the manga, but figured the animated series would never live up to it's awesomeness.

I've never read nor seen this show. Should I watch the anime then read the rest? Or start with the manga?
 
YEEEESSSS!!!!!

I just started rewatching the series last week, the only anime I've ever done that for.

This is by far the greatest anime related news ever!

Holy shit that's awesome. I loved the first series and the OVA's. Love the manga as well although I've stopped following it the last few months, will catch up soon though now that this news has come out.

So they didn't make up a random ending (ex: Claymore, Eyeshield 21, Gantz) or go in a completely different direction (ex: Full Metal Alchemist) after catching up to the manga?

I was tempted to watch the anime but once I heard that the anime ended I figured it suffered the same fate as these other series and decided to just stick to the manga.

No! Everything is 100% cannon, no padded or filler shit here. Everything is just awesome... which makes for my favorite anime EVER. Watch it, you will love it. Just don't watch the awful dub >_<

no...I've read the manga... well the anime parts, and its pretty much exactly the same. I dont know of any other anime that does this.

I don't think they ever actually caught up to the manga and they didn't do a cop out ending like Inuyasha. Only small things here and there were taken out(Aoki sparred with Ippo in blackface when he was about to fight Ozuma), but nothing that compromised the story of the manga.

If I could see more Berserk anime made then I would be a happy man. However, chances are we would see a lot of stuff cut like the first time and only another 15 volumes animated. Then we would have to wait another 10 years for there to be enough manga material to animate a season.

This is seriously so awesome. Shows like Lucky Star, Code Geass, and Macross F all make sense now; gotta have balance in Anime to make room for this.

This is great news...but I hope there is more variety in the fights. Seemed like the anime boiled down to Ippo getting his face smashed to a pulp in just about every fight before coming back to win. With the punishment he's taken the guy should be dead (or at least brain-dead).
