For a moment there, I was afraid that the last Rebuild of Rva film would be out before the next Berserk collection. Thankfully, the heat death of the universe will now take place before either event will occur.

They have enough content for volume 38 now. After the newest chapter that'll hit anytime now, that will make 10 chapters. The current pattern is 9 chapters per volume.
They have heaps of material to cover before they get on the boat.
And 'season'? This is likely going to be another movie trilogy. It seem quite a few people in here are just assuming this is going to be episodic and continue from the original anime - that's not happening.
It's still worth it.
It has no chance of doing that.

If it's just like the movies they'll be on the boat in five movies tops.

I know, I was mostly making fun of the recently announced hiatus for the manga...again.
I can dabble in this. In a year where a sequel to Nier happened, anything is possible!CDPR handle the writing, From do the music and atmosphere and Plat the combatdream game.

It'll probably be funded by Sony.

All I need now is a proper Parasite Eve sequel.
Aside from Ven"SonyRumorHypeMaster"derus teasing it, I've also heard that this is in fact happening. But that was awhile ago. No idea if it's still in the works.

Please be true, PS4 exclusive and revealed at the next TGS.
It's great
People who read the manga being excited for Post-Eclipse content animated should tell you what you need to know.

The consistacy in quality is solid as a rock. It's quite shocking how good it's been considering how long it's been going for to be honest.
Berserk is hands down the greatest ongoing piece of fiction at the moment - not just when it comes to manga too. It's glorious.
the thought of conviction arc animated makes me all hot and bothered.
just needs hirasawa making the soundtrack and anime saved.

Of all the things to pick you go with this one? :^()

Can't wait for a poorly animated cgi Farnese sitting by the fire place.

He's the nicest guy in the world and he's made them boatloads of money, so he gets a pass to basically do whatever he wants.

Am I still allowed to think about the scene where Guts' sword gets mounted?
I hate to put a damper on everyone's hopes and dreams, but this is probably a continuation of the recent OVA's. Although, a proper regularly syndicated anime show would be one of the greatest things to happen to me in a while, considering I'm just now starting to get back into anime after a long hiatus.
I noticed some peeps have provided Youtube links for the original '97 series' soundtrack, yet how is it that no one has included this gem?

Guts's theme is still one of my all-time favorites in anime.

That's one of my faves, actually it probably is my favorite from the anime. Still can't believe that's Guts' theme. I honestly just think of it as Griffiths, might be because Griffiths VA made up lyrics to it during the blooper reel.
I'm thinking the exact same thing. Regardless of who does it I can't wait.
Yeah, it is hard to believe that this is the melody they chose to represent Guts in the series, because on a superficial level it doesn't seem to match the characters bravado. Given Griffith's softer characteristics and visual charm, it does seem to be a better fit and it works extremely well when he's on the screen. However, when you contrast this song with some of the deeper emotional moments in the series in relation to Guts' never ending struggle with identity and purpose it's works even better. He's a flawed broken individual, and this song really captures the spirit of that character.
And that blooper reel was great.

I'm actually perfectly fine with it working for both of them. Both their narratives are pretty intertwined to be honest. You take one of them out of the equation from the others life and their life becomes completely different. Guts in a way is internally what Griffith is externally and vice versa. Griffith wanted to always exude the power and presence that Guts has. Once that was stolen from him he made god damn sure he'd get it back, and then some. Berserk really just seems to be about the clashing of two unbudging egos and watching the world around them change. Guts as a result got more human and Griffith commands a demon army while wearing essentially a skin suit while being a demonic angel of greed.
But it's one of my favorite scenes.Stop thinking.

All the yeses in the world to this comment. I just hope they keep the anime as brutal as the manga... but if they leave us on the god damn

I feel that it's great but also should tell folks that as the show progresses it gets less and less grim dark and turns more and more into a fantasy adventure with a party and stuff. Which is fine though.
Easily one of the best aspects of late Berserk is Guts' (manga spoiler)
relationship with his witch daughter figure

Haha had forgotten about religious looney Farnese. That freaking arc is some NC-17 shit
JadedWriter

Berserk legit becomes a JRPG at that point. Guts and crew are just straight level grinding as far as I'm god damn concerned.
I liked Farnese for her demented fan service and stayed liking her for her actual character development. She practically becomes a different person.

they keep reloading the boat level and getting low level mobs. They'll never reach the level requirements at this rate.
Interesting take on the relationship of the two characters. Of course I see things a bit differently, and I'd gladly share my thoughts but it would be difficult to do so without spoiling some of the story here. Is there an official Berserk discussion to be found on this forum? I'd love to take part, if only the discussion hasn't moved beyond the '97 series. I fell off the wagon after first 3 volumes of the manga.

Dude there is a OT thread for the manga yes. You might want to go back to the manga and catch up though cause a lot of good stuff has happened. You can always PM me or Veelk to unload your Berserk opinions on though, I love talking about it.
They'll be fine, but if they need to fight Griffith and his apostles they need to eventually grind on some higher level enemies.

WAT? They are not going to go that far into the manga. Not even close.
What? No, no, no. Instocktrades has them for 45% off. Just by way of illustration: I put 29 volumes in a cart in Book Depository, and it came out to $100 more than 34 volumes from IST.
Edit: Oh, I was beaten:
Nope. Both places have free shipping (with purchases over $50 on IST), so the main difference is that one saves you ~$6.25 - $6.75 per volume and the other saves you $0.06 to $3.50 per volume. There's no good reason in terms of cost to buy Berserk from BD over IST.
How About No

The hiatus doesn't bother me, I've just assumed it's already been on hiatus the last 5 years and I'll read the next volume in a decade or so.
But pretty cool they're finally adapting something past the Golden Age.
Actually I just want to see Farnese and Serpico animated. Also
Not so fast now, guess what method they'd need to leave
?

That is very true... If they end the anime with Guts
getting the Berserker Armor
Tricky I Shadow
Banned
Well I guess, but it's not like it isn't on purpose. Seeing her the way she is now only makes the reader want her to get healed that much more.
It's going to be such an emotional moment regardless of how Miura handles Casca being healed.
Like I already said, if this is another trilogy the obvious stopping point would be when
Griffith is re-born
So yeah, them stoping it at the
Berserker Armor
Show gets insanely grim dark right after the Golden Age the starts to get less and less dark as it goes.
Blackswordsman Arc + Conviction arc is Berserk at its darkest IMO.
As far as where the stopping point would be...
if they do the trilogy thing and they keep the pace from the original 3 movies then we will probably end with Gutts getting the armor maybe even later than that. But I would honestly want them to do some of the early pre-Golden Age chapters as well and really flesh out the story rather than rush it like last time.
