Perhaps one point of criticism for some could be the outdated artstyle. And, perhaps most importantly along with the characters, the story is still the same tragedy of fate, friendship and love. The world in which the story is set is still that medieval realm right down to the brilliant castles with their greedy landlords, the disadvantaged common folk, and the never-ending wars.
The Black Swordsman, is still the hapless avenger wandering in search for revenge and peace of mind. To my pleasant surprise I discovered the anime adaptation of Berserk lost to its original version in nothing but length and detail.īut the main elements, the magic that made the epic manga what it is are all present in the animated version. To clarify, I was preparing for a completely unripe anime-draft of a manga praised to the heavens that'd actually been worth it, and then some.

With Guts' immense strength and Griffith's leadership, the Band of the Falcon dominate every battle they partake in. On the battlefield, his combat prowess is second only to Griffith as he takes on large groups of enemies all on his own. In three years' time, Guts has become one of the Band of the Falcon's commanders. Due to his fresh injuries, Guts loses the fight and is inducted by Griffith. He confronts Griffith, and the two duel yet again, only this time with a condition: Guts will join the Band of the Falcon if he loses. Incapacitated and taken into the Band of the Falcon's camp to recover, Guts wakes up two days later. While the others are no match for Guts, Griffith defeats him in one blow. Griffith, The Band of the Falcon's leader and founder, takes an interest in Guts and duels him. Ambushed after completing a job, Guts crushes many of its members in combat. He accepts jobs that offer the most money, but he never stays with one group for long-until he encounters the Band of the Falcon. Guts, a man who will one day be known as the Black Swordsman, is a young traveling mercenary characterized by the large greatsword he carries.
