Amazon is currently offering a discount on Berserk: The Complete 1997 TV Series, reducing the price of the Blu-ray set to $37.39 from $60. This series, adapted from Kentaro Miura’s legendary manga, follows the story of Guts and his ongoing battle against demonic forces. The dark fantasy anime is known for its brutal violence and thematic exploration, albeit with some deviations from the source material.
In addition to the 1997 series, fans can now also get their hands on The Golden Age Arc Memorial Edition, which was recently remastered and recut into 13 episodes. This steelbook version of Berserk contains all 25 episodes in high-definition, catering to both Japanese and English language dubs. Furthermore, all extras from previous releases are included in this limited-edition set.
While the 1997 series received praise for its handling of darker themes, a newer Berserk anime trilogy was released in 2012-2013. This adaptation, while visually striking with a mix of 2D animation and CGI, did not quite reach the same level as the original series. However, it is still recommended for fans interested in exploring different interpretations of the manga.
For those wanting to delve into the original manga, Amazon offers Deluxe Editions containing three volumes of Berserk each. With a total of 14 compilations available, readers can enjoy the stunning hardcover editions at discounted prices. Additionally, fans can now preorder Berserk Volume 42, the first collected trade paperback featuring material not written by Miura, who sadly passed away in 2021.
Berserk has captivated audiences with its dark fantasy world and complex characters. Whether through the anime adaptations or the original manga, fans have various options to immerse themselves in the epic tale of Guts and his relentless struggle against evil forces. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to experience the rich storytelling and detailed artwork that have made Berserk a standout in the world of Japanese entertainment.
