Amazon has announced a substantial price reduction for Berserk: The Complete 1997 TV Series, now available on Blu-ray for just $37.39, down from $60. This sought-after Blu-ray set was released earlier this year and has consistently attracted attention from fans. Previous deals have resulted in swift sellouts, so securing this latest offer is advisable for dedicated Berserk enthusiasts. Additionally, fans can explore The Golden Age Arc Memorial Edition, which was recently launched on August 27. This edition recuts and remasters the original trilogy into 13 episodes.
Adapted from Kentaro Miura’s iconic manga, Berserk narrates the gripping journey of Guts and his relentless struggle against demonic forces. Blending dark fantasy with intense violence, the anime series is noted for its poignant exploration of the darker themes within Miura’s narrative. The limited-edition steelbook version of Berserk encompasses all 25 episodes in high definition, featuring both Japanese and English language dubs, alongside all extra content from previous releases.
Years later, a new Berserk anime reimagined the original tale, presenting a more faithful adaptation through a trilogy of films released between 2012 and 2013. While these films did not quite match the acclaim of the 1997 series—utilizing a mix of 2D animation and CGI—they remain a valuable addition for fans. The recent Golden Age Arc Memorial Edition compiles these films into a cohesive 13-episode series. This Blu-ray collection offers both English and Japanese dubs, and includes extras such as textless opening and ending songs.
For those interested in the original manga, the Deluxe Editions are highly recommended. All 14 beautifully crafted hardcover volumes are currently available, with many priced at a discount of $15-$20. Each volume includes three installments of Berserk. Fans can also pre-order Berserk Volume 42, the inaugural trade paperback featuring material created after Miura’s passing in 2021.
