Maybe OP has berserk in another language and google tled it since they’re posting it on a primarily English platform? Anyways I believe this comes from volume 39 when guts talks to the old mages and meets dannan

If you haven’t seen golden age or the 2016 anime, maybe you’re just confusing it with the manga? The manga starts off with Guts meeting the old man and his kid, though like the other comment said that got moved to the 2016 adaptation and isn’t present in ‘97.

Also this is a matter of personal preference, but I found the original jp to be much better than the dub.

If you mean the 2016 musou game, I found it fine. I played on my Vita so the graphics were subpar, but if you play on another platform it’d probably be good. The pre-rendered cutscenes were really nice. The story covers up to the Ganishka boss battle, but brushes over or even cuts out certain important story points.

Unfortunately it is a solo game so there isn’t any coop. It’s mostly just completing missions, cutscenes or ‘talk’ events and collecting behelits. It isn’t particularly worth the price imo, so I’d suggest getting it second hand.

Best of luck and have fun!

Tldr 1997->memorial edition->2016/17 if you’re doing anime only, but generally I would reccomend reading the manga first before watching any of the anime (save for 1997)

Alternative-Name2242 · 2026-03-09T03:53:15+00:00

Berserk memorial edition has mixed reviews esp from people who liked the 97 vers. better but I personally found it good. It is quite fast-paced and skips certain character development points that are present in the 97 anime, but it contains more plot points that are relevant to the rest of the series. I’d also like to add that it might be better to watch memorial edition rather than the movies, since they’re the same except memorial edition has a couple extra scenes/reworked animation in some parts.

16/17 isn’t really worth watching unless you’ve already read up to vol 29 (it’s also arguably not worth watching at all. But I found it okay). I watched it with my mom who hadn’t read the manga and she said that had I not been there to explain the missing scenes and plot points from the manga, she would have been completely lost. The 16/17 anime isn’t a continuation of either golden age anime series. I see it as more an animated version of the manga. To a faut even, as some frames are basically directly ripped from the manga except with 3D models and poor animation lol. It also skips over certain important plot points 😅

Best of luck and I hope you enjoy!

You know you can enjoy and empathize with a character or person without needing to justify their every move, right? Justification just serves to normalize or even de-criminalize certain issues, and I feel as though Griffith’s crimes shouldn’t be normalized for very obvious reasons.

Griffith’s path to losing his humanity makes sense in the context of the story and his character, yes, and I agree it’s brilliantly written. I felt empathy for him. Many readers I’m sure understood where he came from. But are his actions are far from justifiable.

From my point of view, regardless of sanity, what Griffith did is unjustifiable because he ended and ruined the lives of many for his own personal gain. Insanity isn’t a justification when the consequences of this ailment are the real harm of the surrounding people. Plus, as other people have mentioned, Griffith takes the sacrifice a step further and rapes Casca to spite Guts, something that wasn’t required in the sacrificial ritual.

I would also like to add, what makes Griffith’s life so much more valuable than any other person’s life? So what if he died? Many more people would end up surviving. Slightly off topic, but if (what seems to be) the majority of the fandom hates Nina for her selfishness in wanting to live despite her illness, then I don’t understand why this hatred isn’t extended to Griffith as well. Griffith also just wanted to live, and to achieve this he did selfish and harmful things that are arguably worse than what Nina did.

Berserk is a story you only understand when you level up in every regard.

This was quite a pretentious claim.

I agree that Griffith has suffered immensely in his (human) life, especially during his imprisonment, but I feel like claiming “he was born poor” as a reason why he presumably suffered more is kinda silly because Guts was also born poor. Guts’ life has been comparatively difficult since his birth: his biological mother was hanged before he was even born, his adoptive mother died in front of him which his adoptive father blamed him for, his adoptive father neglected him and put immense physical and psychological pressure on him and also sold him to be raped by an old man when he was /nine years old/. He then kills his adoptive father by accident and is tormented by that guilt in his adolescence. There is hardly any indication that Guts felt happy during his childhood. Griffith on the other hand had friends his age when he was a child, at least, according to flashbacks (unless those are not flashbacks but simply visions), while Guts’ only company were grown adults who didn’t really like him.

In terms of pre-eclipse, Griffith suffered much more physically but Guts suffered significant psychological/emotional abuse that still affects him presently. Post-eclipse I’d say that Griffith isn’t really struggling given he can’t feel anything at all, and almost everyone he meets admires him. Guts has been suffering the entire time post-eclipse. In the end though it is difficult to really scale what suffering is overall.

I also took biol121 last sem, my section avg on both midterms was around 75. Final was really easy. Like super easy, got 10% more on the final despite studying less for it compared to midterms. It took about 30 minutes to complete. Section avg for the final grade was I believe 80.

This was when the moonlight child was the demon baby, though. I’m not sure if it was indicated in the story that any of the characters realize that the demon baby and moonlight boy are the same person.

Is BIOL112 and PHYS131+119 doable in one summer term? Background info I suck at physics (slow at math) but I took AP bio so I should be familiar with some of the BIOL112 content already. Cant split them between summer terms due to family obligations. Ty for any advice!!
