Preorder Now: Berserk – The Complete Series on Blu-ray
For anime enthusiasts nostalgic for classic series, the beloved 1997 Berserk is now available for preorder on Amazon at $59.95, with a release date set for March 26.
Adapted from Kentaro Miura’s renowned manga, Berserk follows the journey of Guts, a solitary warrior with a troubled past, and Griffith, the charismatic leader of the mercenary group “Band of the Hawk.”
Animated and directed by Naohito Takahashi, known for his work on Iria: Zeiram the Bounty Hunter, the series features fan-favorite Marc Diraison as the voice of Guts, a role he has portrayed for over a decade.
Filled with chilling apparitions, menacing demons, and lethal weaponry, Berserk offers a dark and gripping narrative that may not be suitable for all audiences. Centered on the “Black Swordsman” Guts, the story delves into his quest for vengeance against Griffith, his former ally turned betrayer, who pursues power at any cost. It’s no wonder that Guts ranks among the greatest anime characters of all time.
Boasting fiery romance, deep camaraderie, and harrowing betrayal, Berserk’s 1997 series stands out as a pinnacle of non-conventional storytelling and graphic content.
While other Berserk iterations are available on Blu-ray, the 1997 adaptation is widely lauded for its mature themes and twisted narrative.
The Blu-ray collection, a rarity for a series of its vintage, comprises 25 episodes split across two Region A discs. Each episode includes both the original Japanese language track and the acclaimed English dub, accompanied by English subtitles.
With nostalgic cover art, this release is a must-have for any anime aficionado’s collection, serving as a captivating conversation piece on any TV stand.
