Oh man if they do this right it could be sooooooo epic. There were so many great scenes that could be truly epic when animated.

I've read the manga up till about where it was at 4-5 years ago. (waiting patiently for the author to die, or it to finish to read more) I also really enjoyed the anime. It was very different, but it didn't butcher the manga at all. His voice was spot on, and the music was perfect. I have the original japanese DVDs, so I can't speak for any engrish. The manga is pretty much ALWAYS better than the anime, but a lot of anime are still very well done, and this was definitely one of them. I'm looking forward to a another go at it that will follow the manga closer.
actually, after watching the anime for the first time in I think 00-01, I reread the manga up to where it was at that point while listening to the soundtrack of the anime, and it was better than ever.
The first anime was easier to make as a standalone story. If they want to cover the rest of the story, they will have to cut something somewhere, or we will end with another 250 episodes animes with shitty animation. Of course, it's not impossible they do it properly (a good 24 season animes that cover another arc), I just don't think it's likely.
I'm hoping they just continue where the last anime left off, and insert the manga chars like they were there the whole time, heh. That way we can move on to the real story as in the manga. One thing we can agree on though, is no 250 episode power up bullshit anime. I'm thinking 24 at best, 52 at the absolute max if we don't want total shit. The one thing the manga really has going for it is the continual growth of the characters, hopefully they focus on that. We don't need 1-2 episode long fight scenes.
also, you totally edited out calling it a butchering, hehe, but I don't mind. This whole new anime is so unexpected I want to make my friend bust out his dreamcast and the old berzerk game so I can play. I never did finish it =/
Psyched beyond psyched. I barely touch anime anymore, but for this, it's an exception.
I remember when the first two episodes of Berserk came out fansubbed, I was like... I'm gonna say 15 at the time? Was at the University anime club, watching it on a huge ass projector screen, everyone loved it.
DC Berserk game = Fucking awesome.
PS2 Berserk game = Actually better, I skipped class the day it came out to be at the store when it opened to pick up a collector's edition.
Totally came out of no where, was not expecting this.
im 23 years old. ive never onced shed a tear over something i ever saw on TV. ever. except for this series. when you watch it with an open mind, it doesnt matter how much they cut out from the manga, that you're not even going to touch until you get passed the last episode. they will never make them like this anymore. naruto/bleach can kiss my ass. comparing this to any other anime is like comparing a ferrari to a geo metro. they're not nearly in the same league

^that's a bingo
FUCK YEAH!
I had read all the way up to the most recent chapter and it's so hard not to get enough D:!
Lets wait and see which formant it'll be TV Series or OVA. if the rumors are correct on 4C or Deen it's distant to fail. I really hope one of these top animation companies (Madhouse, Production IG, Bones or Manglobe) will handle this.
-_-"https://twitter.com/LawofGreen/status/25774166931 Seems like 'Berserk' is Studio 4°C and full CG anime (Kitakubo's twitter)."
OVA makes much more sense. And I don't believe that twitter account is reputable. Full CG would be really odd, it goes without saying.
Freaking fantastic. I've pretty much stopped watching anime but god damn I will do whatever it takes to follow a new Berserk series. Easily one of my favorite animes, favorite comics and favorite characters of like all damn time.

That looks like the scene. Possible confirmation that it's a direct continuation of the original anime?Spoiler: show
