Synopsis

Now branded for death and destined to be hunted by demons until the day he dies, Guts embarks on a journey to defy such a gruesome fate, as waves of beasts relentlessly pursue him. Steeling his resolve, he takes up the monstrous blade Dragonslayer and vows to exact vengeance on the one responsible, hunting down the very man he once looked up to and considered a friend.

Along the way, he encounters some unlikely allies, such as a small elf named Puck, and Isidro, a young thief looking to learn swordsmanship from the former mercenary. As the ragtag group slowly comes together after having decided to join Guts in his quest, they will face incredible danger unlike anything they have ever experienced before.

The negativity from manga enthusiasts is discouraging potential new viewers interested in the anime. Not everyone wishes to delve into the manga guys, so let's refrain from discouraging others from watching this anime or even the 3 movies before this one. As an anime viewer myself, I genuinely appreciate the graphics; there doesn't seem to be any issues here unless you are being extremely picky. Some might be overly critical; in my opinion, the story and animation are fantastic, providing even more excitement than the 1997 version. For those not bound by strict manga preferences, this adaptation is perfectly acceptable and quite enjoyable.

I really must say that while i like Berserk i am disapointed. Story follows the manga ok, maybe notin perfect way but still following it, however animation, even animation rom original series, first season if you want, which was from 1997 was far better then this from 2016. Its clear that they used CGI and not really quality one but cheap one. Music is weird but it actually is good for the setting. Characters, well they are not perfect either but they do follow the story and i do like some of the new characters. I cannot really say much against the show except that ...

Quite frankly, is a colossal insult to the monumental work of art that is Kentaro Miura's "Berserk." Get ready for "Berserk (2016)," a visual atrocity that makes you question the sanity of those responsible for greenlighting this abomination.

Let's talk animation, or should I say, the unholy CGI that plagues this adaptation. "Berserk (2016)" manages to take one of the most visually stunning and artistically rich manga series and reduce it to the visual equivalent of a dumpster fire. The characters move with all the grace of a PowerPoint presentation, their stiff and unnatural movements robbing the series of the visceral impact that defined Miura's work. ...
