Do you think Berserk will be the greatest dark fantasy tv shows if adapted properly even for the non anime watchers.
| Well, no one can predict the future, so can't say "there will never be a better one", but so far, "Berserk" is literally peaking in its genre, and among the top 5 manga of all time. But, I don't think any studio would be willing to do the work of re-adapting the manga, they might end up butchering it again, or maybe it wouldn't be as effective as the art in the manga. Still, as I said before, no one can predict the future, so maybe one of the studios will re-adapt it once the manga is finished. |

| i don't think it ever will become one. there are already three versions of berserk adaptation, first 1997 version, which covers only up to 80-90 chapters and is considered good, though worse than manga anyway by many factors. then we have a set of films, covering only golden age arc, if i recall correctly and which are not welcomed by fans, but have some potential. and then we have the biggest mistake humanity ever made - berserk 2015 which is season 2 of 1997 series and a complete disaster, shitting on manga and fans' eyes with stupid 3d, but still ongoing, i guess. and we won't see any promising adaptation in the future either, after so much tries, since none can beat manga in its storytelling and pace. if you consider non-anime-watchers, there is an important criteria, which are novelty and relevance. berserk is kinda old, no arguing about that, and it may not interest new audience much. from here we also have that berserk lacks in being iconic. both those factors bury the series even deeper. e.g. naruto lives up to now because it is well known in the whole world and especially in japan. and tbf berserk is not that good to become rivals with other dark fantasy, especially with movies and filmed tv series. i think, golden age arc is manga's peak, then we have clear downward tendency in both art and storytelling, only guts's development saves the series somehow. and now that we have mangaka dead and his friends and colleagues continuing berserk for him, only god knows what waits us, berserk-lovers, up ahead. don't wanna break it to you, but even aot now is more capable of becoming the most popular dark fantasy series, since it is relatively new, relatively good, much more family-friendly (no rape fetishes or smth else), it has unique storytelling which blures the old protagonist-antagonist line and it simply is well-known across the world with many companies collabing with series. as much as i would like your post to become true, i really dont see it |
Kasutoro-Kun said: yeah I do I wonder why olm didn't continue to adapt berserk. I thought 97 berserk was near berserk and they just didn't touch it for decades and another studio picked it up. If anyone knows why olm stopped doing berserk tell me. In 1997, it was planned to go as far as the eclipse, that's why they cut a lot of stuff out of the anime. The Eclipse ended that year in the manga as well, so there were only a couple unadapted chapters to work with. Not enough material to keep going with a full season, that's all. (olm was busy with other projects too). |

| I don't think it'll ever get an adaptation that does it justice. But if it ever did, then I assume the reception would be incredible, considering how popular and high rated Berserk manga is on every anime site or social media platform. |
