Why Berserk Deserves A Proper Anime Adaptation
Berserk is one of the most successful manga series of all time, with many hailing it as the greatest manga ever published. The series has been running since 1989, and despite multiple periods where the series went on hiatus, has found massive success both in Japan and overseas in the west. The story follows the character of Guts as he fights for survival in a world filled with monsters and demonic creatures. Berserk is highly influential, which can be seen in various works, including the legendary Dark Souls series.
As a successful manga series, Berserk has naturally received several anime adaptations, each of which has attempted to translate the bloody dark fantasy series to the screen. However, while each of these adaptations have their own strengths, they ultimately do not adapt this legendary manga as well as the series deserves. Berserk is a landmark in the medium of manga, and a work like that deserves an anime adaptation that matches its prestige.

The Golden Age arc remains one of Berserk's most iconic stories, with not only anime, but video games adapting this part of the epic tale.
