There are several run of the mill anime that are produced every season just to remodel an old formula with new characters. In today’s age, these series are rampant, and you will find 101 isekai series with almost the same plot. However, a series like Kentaro Miura’sBerserk, which demands complete attention from readers and watchers alike, is extremely hard to find.
Berserkis not popular because of a happy-go-lucky protagonist, camaraderie, or the power of friendship. It is well-known because of how dark and gritty the plot can become. In fact, it is a challenge to find a series that can parallelBerserkin terms of dark portrayals.
Fans Admit Kentaro Miura’sBerserkis Irreplaceable
Berserkis a dark fantasy series that has become extremely popular among fans worldwide. It has become a classic manga as it breaks new ground in the seinen genre. In fact, it has also inspired countless other series and many rookie mangakas follow the footsteps ofKentaro Miura.

WhileBerserksuffers from thelack of appropriate anime adaptations, the manga more than makes up for everything. It is recommended to read the series instead of attempting to understand why the anime adaptations are so scattered and unfinished.
The Unparalleled Dark Twists inBerserk
Berserkstands at the forefront of the dark manga genre. It is filled with elements and arcs that are bound to make you gasp in shock. Let’s begin with the protagonist, who himself had to facethe worst things imaginable growing up. He was sexually molested only for some chump change, and it created a deep fear of intimacy inside the character. He also carries the Berserker Armor, which slowly eats up one’s sanity if used for very long.

Next comes Griffith, the antagonist of the franchise. Though he began as a great leader of the Band of Falcons and an excellent companion of Guts, his descent into evilness and debauchery was something worth witnessing. He not only sexually abused and brutalized Casca, but he also sacrificed his own soldiers for his personal gain.
The brutal nature of the manga is one of the reasons behind the bad anime adaptations of the series. The darkest scenes and arcs in the manga are often the most important ones. However,to create an anime, these scenes would have to be censored or completely cut out. Thus, the previous adaptations had to skip a lot of character development and other darker scenarios, which ultimately led to an unsatisfactory result.
Berserkis currently streaming onCrunchyroll.
