Berserk 35 Years. That’s how long the legendary dark fantasy manga Berserk, created by the late Kentarou Miura, has captivated readers worldwide. 35 years of a sprawling epic, a brutal and beautiful world, and unforgettable characters that have left their mark on manga history. As the series continues under the guidance of Miura’s assistants and longtime friend Kouji Mori, one question lingers: does a new Berserk anime still hold weight in 2023? The answer is a resounding YES, and here’s why.

Berserk 35 Years Deserves an Adaptation Worthy of its Legacy
It’s true that Berserk has already seen its fair share of anime adaptations. While some, like the 1997 anime and the Memorial Edition, managed to capture the essence of the manga, others left fans wanting more. But to deny Berserk a fresh start on the screen would be a disservice to its legacy.
Let’s be realistic: a “perfect” anime adaptation of Berserk is almost an impossible feat. The manga’s sheer detail and visual storytelling are incredibly intricate to replicate faithfully. However, a new anime can still embody the spirit of Berserk—its darkness, its depth, and its raw emotional power. Look at games like Elden Ring, which draw heavily from Berserk‘s world and themes, proving that capturing the magic of the manga in another medium is achievable.

Untapped Potential and a Changed Industry
It’s also important to remember that previous anime adaptations have only scratched the surface of Berserk‘s vast narrative. The Golden Age arc, as iconic as it is, is merely the tip of the iceberg. A new anime could delve into captivating storylines, explore complex character arcs, and dive even deeper into the dark, fascinating world that Miura created.
And let’s not forget the significant strides the anime industry has made in recent years. Animation techniques have evolved, budgets are larger, and studios are increasingly aware of the importance of ethical production practices. Works like Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, a medieval fantasy anime that debuted in 2022, demonstrate that the industry is capable of producing breathtaking, emotionally resonant anime that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best of them.
Berserk deserves an adaptation that lives up to its legendary status. The anime industry has the potential, the talent, and the passion to make it happen. So, as Berserk celebrates its 35th anniversary, let’s hope that this potential becomes a reality.
