I picked up my copy of Berserk because I was looking for some new anime and I thought the cover looked pretty cool. After reading a few positive reviews online, and because the price for this collection was more reasonable than a lot of anime on disc I decided to go for it. I was blown away by the richness of the colors, the way the characters moved in the fantastic fight scenes, and the great voice acting. The story is gripping, and at times will have you on the edge of your seat. That said, Berserk: The Golden Age Arc is comprised of 3 feature length anime films derived from a long-running Japanese manga (comic book) series. While the first film and a good portion of the second are mostly standard medieval action fare, at the end of the second film and especially in the third the tone of the series becomes much darker. While I thoroughly enjoyed Berserk, it is not at all for children and has some disturbing scenes that will unsettle some viewers. If that doesn't bother you however, and you are a fan of anime and medieval style combat, this film collection will blow you away!
