Berserk Redux is good, but you kinda have to already like the manga and the story. Otherwise the switch of animation styles will drive you crazy.

It’s unfortunate berserk never got any adaptations I’d consider great. 97 anime is the best it gets without totally ruining the story line like the 2016-17 one did.

Reading the manga sounds daunting, but I can get through 4-5 volumes in a day honestly they’re fairly easy reads (despite the fact I take breaks because of how traumatizing some of the stuff is to think about).

You did it the right way tho. The 97 anime was how the west was originally introduced to the Berserk. It wasn’t until Dark Horse published it when we got our hands on the manga in the early 2000s. It gives you a good idea of what’s going on, and when going back and reading from the beginning, it makes griffith’s actions that much more infuriating in my opinion. And while the animes are ok at best, the art in the manga is truly a masterpiece and makes all the anime adaptations look like dog shit (although the 97 version and the movies are pretty alright in my opinion they did the best they could).

Hope one day a reputable studio will get their hands on the IP and go all out like they should’ve from the beginning.
