Yes. The anime adapts the best arc although they cut a lot of the stuff out. Definitely worth it.

Do not watch berserk. It is incredibly cheesy with crappy animation. You are doing yourself a huge disservice. Just read the manga, it's infinitely better.

Watch it, than read it.
Absolutely no reason to watch the anime beforehand, it actually might just end up being a big turn off. If you wanna enjoy Golden Age arc to the fullest, there's no doubt that you should just go ahead with the manga.

The opening sucked, the ost wasn't great. The dialogue is cheesy and the art style is inconsistent, the animation is downright crap and it removes things that were present in the manga.

No. Definitely not worth it. Apart from the fact that it is incomplete, the stand alone arc is not impressive in any category.

I understand not liking it (eh sort of) but it doesn't really make much sense to tell someone not to try the #1 rated manga on here just because of your personal taste

well the only mixed opinion is what order to watch/read it in and the anime (I liked it), everyone (except 1) still says the manga is worth a try.

I watched the anime before reading the manga. Once I began, I couldn't stop watching.
The first volume of the manga is very poorly drawn - basically, it took me more to get into the manga. Because of the anime, I could enjoy the manga later. If handling different mediums with one content doesn't bother you, the anime totally worths the time.

one of the best anime ever made, and most would say hands-down the best manga, thought it is still ongoing.

Berserk anime>manga

Manga has too much pointless violence and the plot after awhile isn't that gripping and the pacing is utterly gutted by the crap release schedule and the fact that some chapters are short enough to work in a weekly magazine. The nice and detailed art isn't enough to make up for my misgivings with the series the series anymore.

As far as adapting the Golden Age arc, the anime was fine. The cuts might have made it impossible for a continuation (Skull Knighjt), but the core of the story wasn't less functional because of it

There's the Berserk anime series, and then there are the Berserk movies. They're pretty much the same thing (they adapt most of the Golden Age arc of the manga).

And if the ending was spoilt, it shouldn't matter too much, since both are incomplete adaptations of the manga, if you plan to read the manga afterwards.

A guide to living with that one guys ugly signature on MAL.

1. See that SullyNathan has posted last in thread, abort thread.
2. After clicking quick reply, close eyes and type out reply.
3. Try to scroll as far down as possible before replying if you prefer to keep your eyes open.
4. Report said signature for being offensive to the eyes.
5. See he is active in thread, scroll through thread while trying not to have eyes burned, sigh, click back & lose interest.
6. Move to another part of MAL forums where he does not visit.

It's not even in the top #100 anime here on MAL. Which list are you referring to?

If you don't mind doing both, do both. Watch first though. Then the films if you feel like it. The CGI's pretty bad, but it's tolerable. Then read the manga from the start.
