| Yeah, it's a read the manga thing. But the manga itself delves into mediocrity after the Golden age arc, with no direction or end at sight. |

| If you don't like it, you don't like it. I don't see how asking what other people think will change your opinion, unless you are looking for validation. In that case, there are a lot of contrarians here who share your opinion. |

Pretty much, though I would say the manga is fine till you reach volume 25. Then it begins to deteriorate and lose focus. Though recently it's beginning to get back on track. |

| The first mistake you made was watching the anime. |

| Berserk movies are underrated Especially the third one was brilliant. |

Mikasa said: Berserk movies are underrated Especially the third one was brilliant. Yeah the eclipse during the third movie was actually pretty damn good. Made up for the god awful CG they use in the other two. Taewan said: im happy i read the manga from the beginning without watching the anime I didn't think the original anime was that bad. Then again I watched it 10 years ago. The manga is the best way to see the story by far. Not only for the excellent quality of the art, but for the pacing and lack of censorship. The only recommendation I would make is to read the first 3 volumes after the eclipse. It spoils too much and the arc that is covered in those volumes isn't that important. |

| Manga > Movies > Anime Except for Eclipse it was a tie between movies and manga. CGI wasn't terrible at all, people just weren't open-minded to it. Yes we got slightly worse art-work, but as a price for great fluidity. Same people hail Naruto episode 167 for having 1000 frames of complete shit artwork where no single frame is comprehensible. Here, it's just slighly off if you pause it. |

| Haven't seen the anime but the manga is brilliant. Especially with the art. |
 |
| The movies Graphic sucks imo that why its underrated |
 |
| The anime indeed sucked. Apparently it's the manga that is good. |

| I don't expect most people to enjoy Berserk. There are no cute girls, no fanservice, no lolis, no yuri, not in a modern setting and it's relatively old... Pretty much has everything going against it. I noticed that people who like Berserk REALLY like it. |

| It's definitely not for everyone. I love medieval swords & sorcery Anime, but Berserk is way too gory and gruesome for me to ever enjoy. If you want a swords & sorcery Anime that's not as graphically disturbing, but still has a great story, I recommend "Record of Lodoss War." |

| ... Yeah it's a read the manga thing. But the anime wasn't that bad. First of all the 2 main characters are some of the best-written characters in the entire industry. And a lot of other characters are really good ( Most of them are manga only though. ) The story is really good, the golden age arc being the best part. The manga is one of the best manga of all time, most of what i just said apply to the manga a lot more than to the anime, because the manga has A LOT more details and they don't skip anything. The manga is still really good after the golden age arc, don't believe what the haters say. The art is one of the best of any manga, the only manga that i can truly say the art is better is Vagabond, and even there it depends on what parts of it. Berserk does deserve it's spot, it is currently the best thing i've either read or watched in the ENTIRE manga/anime industry, maybe when i finish Vagabond it will change, because this manga seems so promising ( Only 3 volumes in right now ). |

Not sure how anyone could call it fluid. It's typical low-framerate garbage from anime. I want Studio 4C to never touch Berserk again. The TV series was great though. |

| I'm not a big fan of how the manga turned into an endless skirmish between Guts and whichever random demons might pop out of the woodwork, but it's okay for what it is, I guess. lol at the people who used the "cute girls" argument to put their favorite into some sort of higher pedestal. So typical smh. |

| Anime was the best thing to come out of that franchise. The manga was cool too but it eventually pigeonholes itslef into some vague resemblance of a plot that just sort of ambles around while barelyoffering any significant development and is mostly just an excuse for Miura to draw fantasy art pinups. Only reason why I still kinda like is because I still dig the characters. The movies are fine but the CG integration sucks balls |

The movies are fine but the CG integration sucks balls I have to disagree with that a little bit. The plot is definitely going somewhere, it's just very complex and I don't see how Miura is going to be able to wrap it up in his lifetime at the current (nonexistent) pace. You really have to read closely though. Also, the pin up aspects haven't been present much at all in the last 10 years of the manga, so I have to think you're not caught up, that was mostly the Black Swordsman arc and the Golden Age. I'd probably complain less if it wasn't for that I'm with you on the CG in the movies though. It does feel like it has bit more direction in the latest chapters, but the horrendous release schedule makes it feel even slower then it should. |

Cakedog said: Usually when someone claims to like Berserk they're often thinking about anything related to the Golden Age arc. If Berserk is worth getting into at all, it's to see what all the fuss is about over that arc. I think most people have gotten into Berserk because they saw the 99 anime and wanted to know what happened next or for the reason you gave. I've been following Berserk for the better half of a decade. I own every volume of the manga. I agree that he Golden Age arc is the best arc in Berserk but I think the Inquisition arc is a very close second. There's also the Lost Children arc which is very good too. There's more to Berserk than just the Golden Age arc. It only really begins to deteriorate after they introduced magic and the Berserker armor. It's still good, in my opinion, but it doesn't feel the same. I liked it better when the party was smaller, and Guts was much more focused on what he should be doing. Also Miura has been pushing his IDOLM@STER fetish on Berserk readers for a while now. That mermaid singing scene, during the sea god arc, made me cringe pretty hard. |

I feel inclined to agree with this dude. If my previous post gave the indication that I now dislike Berserk then that's not how I meant to come across. |

| I was referring to the anime series. Wasn't really aware of the whole Idolm@ster thing... I thought that was just him trying to make it appeal more to modern readers. Golden Age arc is indeed the best arc. I really like the Inquisition/Bubonic plague arc too though. Also the anime doesn't have Puck... thank god it doesn't have fucking Puck that annoying piece of shit. |

|
| It's pretty damn amazing, but after Golden Age arc it becomes not as good imo, and I haven't read that much after that, but it's overall good. At least the manga. |
 |
| But it has a rape horse, how can you dislike something that has a rape horse? |
| Used to be good that's for sure,the switch form medieval fantasy to high fantasy killed the series for me. |
| I sometimes watch chinese cartoons/stuff and share unsolicited opinions. |
| I've watched Berserk almost 10 years ago, so I should rewatch it, but I remember that it's basically a teaser for the manga, with a shitty open ending which would be completely pointless for a stand alone anime. |
| It goes aight'. |
 |
| Berserk after Golden Age might not be -as- good, but it's still pretty damn solid, the character development and worldbuilding in the later arcs is amazing, I'll admit I was hella skeptical when they started introducing RPG-ish magic and what not but it's still handled pretty well, it didn't have -as- much of an impact on the story that I thought it would. Sea God arc was still unnecessary, though. But damn I wish |
| I thoroughly enjoyed the anime series and until now I'd say it's still one of the most memorable ones I've watched, mainly due to Griffith. The way they portrayed him and especially his fall from grace and breakdown after his loss against Guts was the element that stood out the most. I haven't read the manga yet but from what I've heard it seems that Griffith doesn't get too much focus after the Golden Age arc. It's also disappointing that people are saying that it will never end since the author got himself into other hobbies. I'd rather not start something that won't have a definite conclusion afterwards. |
