the original series ends abruptly at 25 episodes. its supposed to continue with a new story line but that never happened with this original series. there a few "new" series but I never followed those after trying out a few episodes. then there are the full-length movies that are decent since they used a lot of the original voice actors but lacked the raw feel of the original tv series. one of my favorites anime series. characters, english voice actors, story, soundtrack, the feels were great. definitely a great series to re-watch every couple years.

The creator Kentaro Miura died in 2021 so we probably wont be seeing any more berserk.

Quote from DonkeyFinest :
40 is not cheap considering this is a 20 plus years ago. And it's not a complete set either. They should have released with the second half done in cgi. Good or bad it would have some semblance of a finished product.

Dude, even the second series is incomplete and stops at a point with a bit of an open ending, not to mention all that clanging noise through the 2016 series , pacing issues and the horrible CGI. I agree $40 is expensive , but it is better than paying $60+ for the remastered dvds of the same series.

I really enjoyed the Dreamcast game

Man, that's what got me into this anime. I remember playing sword of the berserk on the Dreamcast and after fighting zod, I wanted to learn more about the story. Found the anime and got hooked. I really really suggest checking out the manga. It is seriously an amazing read. Prepare for a roller coaster of a ride….

I'm a simple guy. I see Berserk, I buy.

On a serious note, I remember renting one of the DVDs of this series back in the Blockbuster days and being devastated that the other volumes weren't available.

A decade later I watched it online in crappy quality. This purchase is a no brainer. This is going for $70+ on eBay.

The Golden Age arc of Berserk is the greatest story ever told. But if you haven't, read the mangas. I know reading isn't popular these days, but Miura's artwork and the extended plot lines are worth it.

My main regret was not just buying the complete set. Instead I set price points and have a random collection that I've been building. Still missing volume 2. No idea why that specific one never price drops.

If you do buy the 1990s edition, do yourself a favor and skip the first episode. The foreshadowing adds no value and takes away from the plot twists.

Is the quality any good or did they just port it from DVD?

Quote from ubergourmand :
I've never watched or read Berserk but have heard great things. I also thought it was a very long running series, but it looks like it's only 25 episodes? Is that right?
Long running manga. This 1997 anime series is, imo, the only one worth watching.
