Synopsis
"Guts, known as the Black Swordsman, seeks sanctuary from the demonic forces that pursue him and his woman, and also vengeance against the man who branded him as an unholy sacrifice. Aided only by his titanic strength, skill, and sword, Guts must struggle against his bleak destiny, all the while fighting with a rage that might strip him of his humanity. Berserk is a dark and brooding story of outrageous swordplay and ominous fate, in the theme of Shakespeare's Macbeth."

Why should I watch this show?
Berserk is a truly epic tale, following a badass swordsman and his misadventures. The series is extremely dark, graphic, and gory, as the 2016 adaptation will most likely be. A very important thing to note is that the series is 100% CGI, so keep that in mind if you do decide to give this a watch. This series takes place after the original Berserk anime (1997) and the Berserk Golden Age Arc trilogy of films. It will follow the Black Swordsman arc of the Berserk Manga, which hasn't been animated as of yet. Many fans are speculating whether this will be good or not, but many will tell you they just want to see more of Berserk animated. If you haven't seen the original Berserk anime, I recommend you go check it out along with this.

I do not have high expectations of this.
Since it misses alot of the manga stuff.

[SkullCandyy]

I have been so keen for this - I honestly feel like this could be the next big, great anime out there! Will be watching it on the 1st!

You realize the entire show is completely done in CGI right?

Well I do now after watching the whole episode

[Mafty Navue Erin]

Why is CGI becoming more and more of a thing now? Is it because CGI is cheaper resource wise?
The only thing stopping me from watching this (and any other CGI anime) is the heavy visuals. Sometimes it just does more bad than good.

[Rap1do]

My expectations are really low but the art is amazing.

[Tomoko]

Fuck this shitty adaptation.

If the next episode doesn't have better CGI then this one I'm dropping this shit. Even the movies weren't this awful.

Motherfucking in-game models from PS3 games look better than this shit.

Yes I believe it is a ton cheaper, I really wanted to watch Ajin as the plot seemed sick but couldn't stand the CGI. I might be able to get through this one just because Berserk is the shit.

Well even if it will be far from Manga story, but they don't mess it up completely, this should be quite interesting thing to see.

[Desolate Night]

I hope to watch this once it is completely aired.
Berserk is one of the most iconic anime series and I enjoyed watching the original series.

For some reason, I knew this would be a Kotaku article. Oh lord, the cringe.
