The original "Berserk" anime is making a grand entrance on Netflix next month. The dark anime, which was first released in 1997, will entertain all the hardcore fans around the world who grew up reading the manga and watching its story on TV.

The death of Kentaro Miura, the creator behind this anime, has worried fans because, aside from his sudden demise, the manga might be discontinued as a result.

However, the other authors will make sure that it won't happen. Now, the story of "Berserk" is ongoing as fans wait for another episode to come out.

The era of dark anime is still booming these days, yet the mangakas or manga artists are experimenting with a unique theme that's outside this theme.

While it does not mean that fans prefer another genre at present, it also does not mean that mangakas will stop producing dark-themed anime to please their liking.

"Berserk," an iconic anime from 1997, is returning to the big screen on Dec. 1, according to Engadget. The original series will flash 25 episodes based on the original manga by Naohito Takahashi.

 

Releasing "Berserk" as an anime has never been easy. Before it came to the spotlight, manga readers had to wait eight years after the manga's release.

Of course, fans have longed to see Guts again since he came out more than two decades ago. If you are thinking of another way to spend your Christmas vacation, binge-watching "Berserk" could be the answer.

What's With 'Berserk'

Studio OLM first introduced "Berserk" as a TV series in October 1997. At that time, the Golden Age story arc was the first arc to be released before spring came.

After the old release of the anime, it came back to the big screen in 2012, along with a new movie trilogy. Four years later, "Berserk" made another return to television, Comicbook reported.

However, the fans did not receive the final rendition of the anime. According to the viewers, the CG animation of the latest segment was so stiff compared to the 1997 version. For them, nothing will beat the classic at present, even though its animation is quite outdated.

For die-hard fans who have waited for this moment to come, Netflix has finally granted your wish. The "Berserk" episodes will make you reminisce about the sweet and sad moments with Guts with his friends in a brutal journey of faith, hope, and struggle.

Along with "Berserk," "Monster," and "Parasyte" has also arrived on Netflix this year. If you want to keep track of "Berserk's" return, here's the countdown timer you need to save on your calendar so that you won't miss anything.
