Start from the second episode to stop spoilers. The series became my favourite till almost the end. Then the true story began of suffering and horrifying despair. Causing you the watcher to go berserk

I'm reading the manga right now and it's far superior. The anime has aged a lot, but the manga is like a fine wine. Especially from the arts perspective, the details, the landscapes and the sheer craziness of Miura's art is breathtaking. This anime is a good gateway to get to know what Berserk is about, but seriously read the manga.

An excellent adaptation of the best arc of the manga. The manga's original art is on a league of its own, but as far as story goes this anime covers the only parts of it that (in my opinion) are actually good.

If Mount & Blade and Fire Emblem had a child with a dark side, this would be that child. This series immerses you in the growth of a cast of characters, and the music drives in the feeling of the "Golden Age."

Some moments are very memorable, but sadly it is ~10 episodes too long; focusing on an unlikeable side character was a big mistake. But the philosophical dialogues between the two main characters are fantastic and if you watch a second time, you will see a clear predestination. -- The final episodes are incredible.

best soundtrack in an anime ever and fantastic atmosphere compensate for the occasional poor scene

Gatsu is a walking boner of homoerotic rage and repression and Griffith is the apotheosis of yes m'lady fedora fandom so right off the bat this series' dialogue is extremely hard to put up with. Casca, the only real female character, endures multiple rape attempts and later becomes a vessel for our protagonists to channel their repressed sexuality through. All of this is very unfortunate, because the fantasy aesthetic is immersive, the music is beautiful, and the ending is amusingly vicious.

One of my all time favorite series, I absolutely loved everything about it. The protagonists, the atmosphere and the amazing action. As far as I'm concerned, this is the high standard when it comes to anime. On the other end though, I feel like the manga has been dragging on for longer than it should of been and it also adds some odd Japanese-y characters like Puck. I'd still recommend the manga, but after some point you come to see that later volumes are flawed. great series regardless.

Occasionally terrible dialogue and eye-rolling machoness aside, this is a pretty brilliant evocation of classical heroic texts. It's got a proper katabasis and everything.
