I love the 90s series but it cuts out a really good fight close to the end. If you go the manga route, I recommend not skipping what the anime already covered. There's some slight differences that make it still worth reading that part. There's aome things that the anime does better and it's nice to see the difference.
The newer anime is not great. The movies that covered what happens in the 90s series are okay enough. Skullknight gets more screen time. Beyond that they're kind of abridged versions of the show. The other series is pretty bad. There's a few scenes that are cool to see in motion but beyond that they're pretty meh. There's a lot of terrible computer animation that is outright terrible and takes you out of the scene. There's a famous meme gif where Guts walks away like he's a Southpark character. --- PSN: Jiek ... Copied to Clipboard!

They have this pretty rad music with flutes apart from the Guts theme (fantastic as a piece of music on it's own merits) along with the whole thing that really enveloped that world for me ep. 6 really brought a big build up moment that brought out all the curiosity and questions for the things to come lol the ending too, like, sweet jesus xD Middle hope posted...

Ya Berserk is one of the GOATs in anime, watch the golden age trilogy movies, they are beautiful pieces of art.
Griffiths speech to the princess is something i always go back to. Its such a beautiful speech, but the implications of that speech are what set everything in the series into motion. Once guts realized he was griffiths servant and would never be viewed as more than that by him because he was a part of his artillery, he made the decision that he wanted to be his equal and that is basically berserk in a nutshell. Guts the struggler who grinds through life versus griffith the kid blessed by the devil. Its poetic as heck. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I actually can't believe that the Berserk 2016-2017 series is being defended. There were a few scenes that that actually looked decent, and the movies show the CG can work for the series. It's just that the 2016 series looks absolutely terrible. There's nothing wrong with considering them terrible adaptations.

This might seem like a real left field choice but other CEman can back me up on this, but definitely watch Gungrave if you like Berserk.
It has a different setting, but it has a very similar feeling. It's two guys who are best friends trying to rise to the top of the world, and slowly everything turns to shit. It has that same epic but melancholy feel. Edit: just saw several others recommend that, lol --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard!

What you do is you skip episode 1. Just out of curiosity, would you say ep. 1 of Berserk is skippable in the same way? It was what I held onto while things built up and brought it back to a certain item of good fortune around the episode 6 mark or is it just so out there that its like a why is this even here type of thing pinky0926 posted... This might seem like a real left field choice but other CEman can back me up on this, but definitely watch Gungrave if you like Berserk. Heh its all good - I appreciate the description since its just getting me more HYPE for things to come Im a fan of all things, but when they can take something simple like friendship and really fan that out like Berserk did I feel like it does inspire someone to go seek out the very things irl that drive the characters here Shablagoo posted... Talking about this? YEAH! Its such a georgeous theme over certain moments in the series, I feel like they just nailed the placement of it and it definitely sold the entirety of the world of GUTS and co. for me Trigun did the same thing and the ending theme was so hype that I kept watching through some of the tamer episodes because of that (the People Everyday theme really took those super heartfelt moments I was on the fence about and had me sold) Heard Champloo was awesome and I remember seeing commercials of the main character on Toonami(?). Always wanted to check that out and Cowboy Bebop but just never really came around. Jojo and Evangelion definitely helped me say alright, I wanna see more of the world of anime this past year since my only experience with anime was basically Ruroni Kenshin, The Big-O, the .Hack series, FLCL, and Yu-Yu Hakusho been slacking lol smoke_break posted... The soundtrack is -tier tbh. Definitely, the actual Guts theme seems to have 3 main sections the piano the ahs that build up to the singing the actual singing portion and meat of the theme my favorite section happens to be the build up of voices to the chorus because it sounds like the chaos of the inter contemplation GUTS has every other episode whilst growing to pledge his allegiance to someone, anyone Not a huge fan of the opening theme to be honest lol same with Trigun (I keep mentioning Trigun because its still relatively fresh in my head) --- ...

I gotta recommend Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood.
