Review of Berserk

Berserk (1997–1998)
10/10
Extremely Powerful
1 February 2021
A couple hours went by since i finished this Anime, and I am still in shock. Berserk is, without a doubt in my mind, one of the most gripping and powerful pieces of entertainment you will ever watch. The animation, even though it is very old, holds up beautifully and fits the overall theme perfectly. I really like the main-ish song that has become somewhat of a meme and i heard it long before I even thought about watching the Anime. Guts is a wonderful protagonist who doesnt have a super complex backstory, nor does he display some unimaginable intellect. Instead, he is a lost soul searching for the meaning of his life, his only companion being an extremely oversized sword. However, there is something magic about him, something so likeable and the sheer amount of raw emotions that are bottled up in this character, and his thoughts, are undescribable. He is the embodiment of a powerful but emotional man struggling with destiny.

I CANNOT recommend this enough. Please do yourself a favor and watch Berserk. Read the manga afterwards if you liked it, because there is more to the universe than this. I will probably do the same, but i will need to watch some puppy videos for a couple days first.
