The dark medieval manga boasts 343 chapters of fantasy gore, which creator Kentaro Miura has been industriously producing since 1989.
Three movies and two video games followed, many not quite matching the quality of Miura’s manga in tone or execution.
For anime fans who found 1997’s Berserk a bit too emo, Itagaki opted to include Puck, the moe, winged elf boy (The earlier TV series completely erased him).
It’s no secret that, even for 1997, the original Berserk anime looked bad.
