I know for ages there have been rumors floating around about a new Berserk series in the works. They have always been rebuffed and people in the know saying, "Oh we'd love to make a new series, but we can't just yet." Well it seems like we just might have it now, and very soon!
The rumors all began when a small handful of images were leaked to the internet. They could not be confirmed and official sources either claimed them to be high quality fakes, or no comment. Here are the images.
Pretty good looking right? Well a bit of time has passed and now we have something a little more substantial to work with. Can you really deny this?
CLICK THIS DAMN LINK!
I am positively moist...
Berserk is one of the greatest mangas and animes of all time. I could wax endlessly about each of them, like how the Manga has been going since before many of you were born and is a highpoint among Japanese comics, or how how the less amazing, but still awesome series was a fantastic yet painful cock-tease, but I think it would be best to just link to the Wiki and let anybody interested do some reading. Just be warned both the manga and the anime are some of the most violent animated things to come out of Japan. The anime was so violent that it was only allowed to air at a super late night time slot in Japan, and the manga is TEN TIMES as violent as that. I'm a total goreaholic and Berserk is my goreahol.

So come one come all and let's discuss the awesomeness that is Berserk! Feel free to discuss the new series or the old/manga if you like. As long as it is about Berserk, it's all good.
Let's cap things off with a nice Berserk AMV. Warning massive spoilers, but if you don't mind it is a good introduction to the series and how violent it is.

A pretty damn good, and underrated Dreamcast game yes. I still have my copy. Also there was another even better PS2 game released that I would give my left testicle for a US release. I actually even WENT up to the publisher at E3 the year it came out and BEGGED them for localization. No dice. ;(
Don't know yet, I'm betting even money on do-over. If it wasn't a do-over they couldn't just slap Puck into it like you see in one of those screens, because he was oddly cut from the original series, along with the Skull Knight.
then I saw the protagonist gets raped or something
then his girlfriend gets raped
there's probably some other rape in there, not to mention all the gore
I was like "Naw I'm good on that dawg thanks though"
Is he still busy playing videogames for girls?

edit: linked it for very tame nakedness.
His Hieronymous Bosch-meets-H.R. Geiger monsters are some of the creepiest crawlies ever scribbled.
I'd link a picture, but they always seem to be raping someone...
There is a non-zero chance that I will be dead before it finishes.
Last I heard yeah.
I like to think it's the only thing that is stopping him from going insane while drawing demon rape.
Go nuts link tons of pictures, the Apostles are great. You are right though, all of his monsters are so friggen amazing looking.
Edit: This is from my personal stash, my favorite pic of Gatts/Guts/Gutts.
Should I toss this into the Op?
I cannot wait for the new anime. They better bring it stateside waaaay faster thanmthey did the last one; I really don't want to have to rely on fan subs.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
special mention: Guts
and while I'm doing the fan thing, just gonna link this here

(some spoilers in that thing)
The only game I've ever imported from Japan, and I only slightly regret it!
On the black screen
I have the huge Gutts figure with metal throwing knives and dagger, the box says ages 14 and up. I also have one of him as a young mercenary, and a bunch of the mini figures. Gatts, Human Zodd, Troll, Demon Zodd bust, and Skull Knight.
I also have 2 copies of the Anime, one original, one remastered. I only have the first 4 hard issues of the manga though.
You can get an actual Dragon Slayer for around 100 bucks, I'm tempted, but I'm not that big of a nerd.
Amazon's probably your best bet.
This reminds me I should get up to speed with the manga. I think I'm 10 volumes behind or so.
Nowhere and don't ask.
My favorite picture is one that I can't post, but I think you guys will know it:
EDIT - Oh, yeah, you can get it legally, too. Probably Amazon.
I watched the series/ read (most) of the manga in college. I got up to the part with the trolls and the "new" additions to Guts' group like the female knight and the witch. How much farther along are they in the story now? Did it ever end?
There's quite a bit more than that, though I haven't gotten that far yet myself. There are 34 volumes in English (35 is the one that just came out in Japan), and as I recall, the original arc from the anime goes up to about volume 13, not including 1-3, which are set sometime after shit goes down.
I think I need to watch this again in a format better than poor quality 90's internet downloads.

If you are going to link that trailer you have to link this one that includes some in depth boss battle footage, where he pulls off some orgasm inducingly awesome moves.

The soundtrack really makes it for me. Susumi Hirasawa is fucking talented.
I've spent the last hour listening to OST stuff on youtube. :P

You didn't like Wyald? Get the fuck out of my thread. :x
Everyone, I've just heard that there are 3 more of those short little clips going to be released over the next few days. I am now being scraped to death by my zipper.

I remember watching the first one way back when and I was completely blown away with the themes, character development, and down right crazy grim dark action. It's a shame there was never any closure for that anime, and the Dreamcast game was freaking amazing!
The anime does a fine job of fettling the manga and giving us more Guts/Griffith ultimate bromance.
I really enjoyed the series, but I recall wishing I'd never bothered buying the last DVD, and just rewatched the first instead.
This! When you review the anime series as a whole, it's interesting how little there is in the way of supernatural stuff. It mostly caps the beginning and end of the series with few references to it otherwise. The series really focused on character development, relationships, politics, strategies, and battles, and it's beautifully done.
I really need to read the manga, badly.
The manga pretty much veers into full out supernatural.
And even still, 15 volumes later, the reader has almost no fucking clue who Skull Knight is, what God Hand is trying to achieve, or why Miura decided Guts needed to fight a legion of Cthulu-Pirate people.
So while I'm excited at the prospects, my excitement is certainly tempered by the fact that they might just have to simply re-do the original series, this time with art that isn't predominantly panning over watercolor stills.
