Berserk - War Cry (Episodes 1-5) description This violent sword-and-sorcery adventure suggests a darker version of Record of Lodoss War. Guts (originally "Gatsu") is a brooding warrior, haunted by demons, who fights with an enormous two-handed sword. When he's defeated in hand-to-hand combat by the elegant Griffith, Guts joins the Band of the Hawk. They're supposed to be mercenaries, but Griffith's loyal corps behaves like a crack regiment in the century-long war between Midland and Chuder. Although he takes unnecessary personal risks for reasons rooted in past traumas, Guts quickly rises to a position of command. This vision of early medieval warfare is grittier and less sanitized than standard anime adventures. Fans of Kento Miura's original manga praise its depth of characterization, which isn't really apparent in these first five episodes. But its grim earthiness sets Berserk apart from run-of-the-mill chivalric tales. Rated 16 Up: Violence, nudity, sexual situations, profanity, grotesque imagery. --Charles Solomon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Pretty good. |
| This is a review of the entire series. The series was pretty good. The animation was just ok. This story follows Gutz and the band of the hawk, a group of mercenaries that he is essentially forced into joining when he is beaten by Griffith. This follows the many battles they fight together assanations etc.
The good: The show is pretty violent with plenty of action and fights. Gutz is a cool character and he evolves throughout the series, becomes stronger a better fighter etc. The Bad: It took me a few episodes to get into it. The animation is just so so. I wasn't too happy with one of the truths about Griffiths past. It gets quite strange at the end. The Anime show does not conclude the story. You can finish it in comic form but I never got around to it. Although more negative was outlined the show is actually pretty good, (not great) but pretty good. Worth a watch. |
