BRZRKR Co-Creators Share How Different The Anime Is From The Comic
BRZRKR co-creators Matt Kindt and Ron Garney explain how the upcoming anime show is different from the comic book source material. Created in collaboration with Keanu Reeves, the BRZRKR comic books tell the story of an immortal warrior, Berzerker, who embarks on a blood-soaked quest to discover the origins of his existence. The violent comic series, which is published by BOOM! Studios, marks Reeves' comic-writing debut, with Kindt serving as co-writer and Garney providing the illustrations.
Early last year, Netflix announced that it was adapting BRZRKR into both an anime show and a live-action movie. In addition to playing the live-action version of Berzerker, Reeves is also lending his voice talents to the anime. Little is known about both adaptations at this point but it was confirmed at the comics' SDCC panel that the anime would be produced by Production I.G., best known for its work on Ghost in the Shell and Attack on Titan: Junior High. The BRZRKR anime is also already confirmed to consist of 2 seasons and both projects are expected to maintain the comics' violent aesthetic and tone.
