Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This violent sword-and-sorcery adventure suggests a darker version of Record of Lodoss War. Guts (originally "Gatsu") is a brooding warrior, haunted by demons, who fights with an enormous two-handed sword. When he's defeated in hand-to-hand combat by the elegant Griffith, Guts joins the Band of the Hawk. They're supposed to be mercenaries, but Griffith's loyal corps behaves like a crack regiment in the century-long war between Midland and Chuder. Although he takes unnecessary personal risks for reasons rooted in past traumas, Guts quickly rises to a position of command. This vision of early medieval warfare is grittier and less sanitized than standard anime adventures. Fans of Kento Miura's original manga praise its depth of characterization, which isn't really apparent in these first five episodes. But its grim earthiness sets Berserk apart from run-of-the-mill chivalric tales. Rated 16 Up: Violence, nudity, sexual situations, profanity, grotesque imagery. --Charles Solomon Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great MoviePlot is great - artwork is solid - can't wait to see the rest! Rating: - Dark FantasyBerserk is one of those few anime fantasies that aren't meant to make us laugh. From the first moments to the last, it's as serious as possible. Dark imagery rules this series, with battles and blood and characters that are often angry and trying to prove themselves in some way or another. And the themes are even darker, dealing with vengeance and a hunger for death. In volume one of Berserk, we are introduced, in the first episode, to the Black Swordsman, a massive man who carries a ... Read More Rating:  - Pretty good.This is a review of the entire series. The series was pretty good. The animation was just ok. This story follows Gutz and the band of the hawk, a group of mercenaries that he is essentially forced into joining when he is beaten by Griffith. This follows the many battles they fight together assanations etc. The good: The show is pretty violent with plenty of action and fights. Gutz is a cool character and he evolves throughout the series, becomes stronger a better fighter etc. ... Read More Rating: - From Guts to GloryBerserk is not your average anime series. It's a very dark and grity series. Thats why I love this series so much. The story is amazing. I love all the characters cause they all have there own thoughts and abilities of understanding. The character development is great! From watching the first five episodes I can tell this series is just gonna get more bloodier by the minute. This isn't a type of show to watch with your little ones. I'm not gonna say what the story is ... Read More Rating: - Good enough to want moreThis is my first real exposure to anime. The only other time I watched some of it was in Tarantino's "Kill Bill: Volume 1", but it is only in a few passages in the movie that anime is used. Since I enjoy epic fantasy, I thought a good way to start out in anime was in a series that used this genre. I found that I enjoyed the first five episodes of "Berserk", and even though at some points I found myself having trouble figuring out where the story was going, I was left looking forward to the next disc ...
