The "end" of Berserk is what seems to me as where it currently is; Guts has already gone through so much in his life, and grown and changed for the better. I see the alternate version as lyrically expressing the same feelings the original one does, but instrumentally expressing a feeling of growth and progression compared to the original. What the song says is in the past, but it's still real and part of the burdens Guts has to live with.
that's not really the point, my guy. Taking things too literally isn't exactly a fun way to overanalyze - but the important thing is that the harsh guitar really harmonizes with the off-color english lyrics.
heh, heh... no, I didn't really think it would be good... the moment I saw the teaser trailer it was clear the animation director had no clue what they were doing.
For quality, the 78 anime is top notch, but skips a lot for the sake of censorship, even some fantasy stuff like Skull Rider just cause they probably knew they weren’t gonna update it for the continuation. There are three movies that tie the fantasy stuff back in I’m sure, but I haven’t seen them beyond a few scenes where Skull Rider is there.
I totally dig the original version better, but this rendition is pretty good. More has a more punkish vibe, the original one was straight out of the soul haha.
I hope that if berserk gets a proper anime adaptation this plays as the ending theme for the first half of the golden age stopping in between the tuder war (preferebly after the 100 man slayer fight) the transition to the original ending
my main gripe with the original is actually just the guitar tones, since Engrish is to be expected if Japanese singers. but the guitars sound really nice in this version :)
The Original version is that the Guitar was off- tuned that was throwing me off but for some reason it works that if in here it feels off when it's not off-tuned
Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura. Thank you for Berserk, a masterpiece and an EPIC that will stand the test of time. Thank you and may your legacy live on. Keep on struggling
Best Mangas i've ever read... Artwork is fantastic and the plot is tremendous! The anime is also great, but not as the mangas, still great nonetheless! Thanks for the upload!
NightSoul End of stone ocean universe =/= SBR/JJL universe. If that were the case, where's Irene in part 8? Because part 6 & 8 take place at about the same time in completely seperate universes. Pucci's [Made in Heaven] shit only affected people who were already dead and just re-wrote them slightly to be a different soul in the exact same body. Josuke looks almost nothing like Gappy or Josefumi and Yoshikage Kira (son of Holly Joestar-Kira) looks nothing like Yoshikage Kira (the Morioh serial Killer). It isn't the same universe, even Araki said it in an interview after Steel Ball Run was revealed to be part 7.
So that people can judge it by its own merits, Berserk 2017 should really try to separate itself from past adaptations. As much as I really like this song, listening to it before every episode would just make me want to watch Berserk 1997 instead.
Berserk 1997 was amazing. Superb. Dark and violent. I loved it. The new anime...meh. I watched it because it´s Berserk afterall, but i´ts just an ok adaptation.
Fir no shame bout' shape the wheater changes the phrase even mader wir show yu anoder way So put you're grasses on nothing will be wong there's no fame there's no frame it's up to you the farst wards shurd be founded wathever holds you back I.. can I can get it's off tell me why tell me why tell me why you won't I don't know why don't know why don't know why you're afraid Tell me what tell me what tell me what you said I don't know why don't know why too waet, it's too waet
The Berserk series has been ongoing for 27 years since it began, I think the berserk series will end at Volume 50. Which I assume that after this arc of the elf island, there will be one more arc after this which will end the series, I can see that when guts see's The elf king, Guts will be set free from the brand of sacrifice for he had for a while. To be able to defeat Griffith and the god hand. Guts cannot defeat them, because darkness cannot win against darkness, especially with the berserker armour which is the representation of darkness. I imagine that guts will receive a new armour, new power that doesn't cause harm to himself like the berserker armour. Guts will transform from darkness to light from the support of the Elf King, to be able to defeat Griffith and the God Hand. Also Kentaro Miura interview in the year 2000. The interviewer ask Kentaro a question and said "Is it even possible that we’ll see a happy ending? And Kentaro said "I’d say it’s possible. I used to have the final moves planned out, but lately I’ve been thinking I’d rather figure them out when I come to it, so now it’s hard to say what could happen. Being the sort of person I am, though, I actually don’t think I could let such a long grim story end with a grim ending - like, say, having him suddenly die. I don’t really like that kind of entertainment. I’ll leave it to my subconscious." Tell me what you think.
3 years late, but I don't believe Berserk can end until Griffith has been killed. I don't really believe Guts gives a damn about the other God Hand, he just wants Griffith's head. We know that Guts can now inflict damage upon the God Hand after the whole Qliphoth thing. I'm not even sure that Elf King can remove the brand either, I don't think anyone has the power to do so but the God Hand themselves and I feel that if Griffith dies then the brand will go with him. Casca already has her memories back, Griffith and Guts are getting much closer to encountering each other one last time, its all set up for Guts to kill Griffith and reclaim his life. One plot point is still present that really bothers me though, the behelit that Guts carries around. It has been unused and that worries me a lot. We know that the God Hand can basically recreate the Eclipse whenever they want too and wherever a behelit goes they aren't far behind.
I think the Brand does help him in a way. He became stronger and faster after getting it. There's a comment about him possibly being able to bend the rules of reality after receiving it. I think he becomes more attuned to the Astral and, being human, his will is affecting the Astral World. The creatures humans could originally see disappeared because most people did not believe in them. It makes sense that Guts is becoming more powerful by changing his perception of just how powerful he should be.
Update:Yes its kinda refreshing for Casca having her memory back but the most things she remembers is the eclipse amd then guts and skull knight went into a cave where the blacksmith of the armor is there and showed Guts that he dies not control it fully yet and there goes the cliffhanger
I kinda wish they had used this instead as the opening for the new anime series just to bring up memories of the 90's anime. But, when I listen to this all I can imagine is Guts running really fast across the plains heading to who knows where.
imagine this, after so long finally a studio decides to put a lot of effort into a new berserk anime, actually animating the first three episodes covering the black swordsman arc, before we finally get the proper intro to the new anime and this song pops up with the original intro remade.
I came for grasses, was not disappointed.
Edit :- Rest in Peace, King. Your struggle has come to an end.
Whether you put your "glasses" or "grasses" on, nothing will be wrong.

"The farst wards shard be founded"
TERRY WHY?!?!
If only Gatsu had his grasses on nothing would've gone wong :'(
Original version = Guts at the start of Berserk
Alternate version = Guts at the end of Berserk
End of Berserk?

Let's make sure cherish that it happened, the impact it had and why we are all here.
Rest in Peace. Thank you, Kentaro Miura.
Thank you Miura, for everything.
This song just chronicles the awesome and tough times we had together. RIP Kentaro Miura
He died doing what he loved
Arigato, Miura-Sensei.
It's not the same without the sour guitar, it's what makes the whole song for me.
Its awful... But that's what makes it so great!
Exactly!
So you enjoy unenjoyable shit?
that's not really the point, my guy. Taking things too literally isn't exactly a fun way to overanalyze - but the important thing is that the harsh guitar really harmonizes with the off-color english lyrics.
The best shitty guitar riff ever
Forever in the eternity. See you Struggler.
Rest in peace Miura
I would get shivers if there were a season 2 with this version as the opening.
There's going to a new season this year when Guts is the Black Swordsman
+mykola stepchuk this won't necessarily be the opening - especially if it's a different studio producing it.
+Completely Pointless Videos
+mykola stepchuk a band called 9mm parabellum bullet is going to make the new opening
heh, heh... no, I didn't really think it would be good... the moment I saw the teaser trailer it was clear the animation director had no clue what they were doing.
There's some real regret in this comment.

“Nuthin will be Wong”
Makes sense tho
Put yo Monocle on
When the definitive Berserk anime finally gets made, I hope this plays over the credits of the final episode.

I totally dig the original version better, but this rendition is pretty good. More has a more punkish vibe, the original one was straight out of the soul haha.
nintendoluigi it seems sped up. Not sure if it’s the song. Copyright issue or the actual rhythm based.
This is a perfect explanation of why I like the first better too.
@@Mitwadus Saw a live version on UA-cam. They sang even faster then this so it may be at normal speed.
I hope that if berserk gets a proper anime adaptation this plays as the ending theme for the first half of the golden age stopping in between the tuder war (preferebly after the 100 man slayer fight) the transition to the original ending
@@jazzhands8525 feel like this would fit better for the beginning of fantasía
idk why people say "its so bad its good" its just good /:
Exactly. And anyone I knew who didn't like it, were Singing Along just 3 episodes in. It's catchy.
my main gripe with the original is actually just the guitar tones, since Engrish is to be expected if Japanese singers. but the guitars sound really nice in this version :)

@@russellbundor8133 it's called grudge music.
gutts probably sings this to himself when he is wandering around alone as the blackswordsmans lol
And after that he sings waiting so long and cries :,v
"Shit Casca ran off again...
... One hundred bottles of beer on the wall, one hundred bottles of beer...."
Well it looks an awful lot like we're getting her back in the next chapter, which will be out in a month or so. Hype.
We know "month" hahahaha nice joke man
Dammit Miura....
We're gonna end up working the poor guy to death one day and Berserk will die with him.
imagine a new anime thats more like the 1997 anime animation wise (more detailed stills, no cgi) and this is the opening
If Adi Shankar (the guy who adapted Castlevania for Netflix) gets his way, you might get just that.
Yeah, that'd be cool.
legend, also with more Hirosawa
That'd be hype as fuck bro
Preferably without any detailed stills, actually.
RIP Miura, you saved a lot of us.
You’ll always be in our hearts
Sorry singer, it's pronounced Wong not wrong
VideoFan 74 But he said "grasses"
Terry why!
I hear "rwong"
Guon
I heard Nothing wirr be rwong
Tell me why, Griffith. Just why... Griffith? GRIIIFFFFFFFIIIIIIITH!!!
TetrisClock Griffith did nothing wong
Too late
Cus it's cute
This kinda gave me feels ngl
b e c a u s e
I feel like if they had continued the 1997 anime this would have been the opening song for the 2nd season
That would have been pretty neat actually
That'd be sweet. Gets you hyped for the Conviction Arc post-eclipse.... then the 2016/17 animu happened.......
The most chilliest song in the most violent, badass, gore anime XD
And yet it fits perfectly!
THIS WILL BE THE THEME SONG OF THE BERSERK TRUE ENDING WE'LL GOT LETS GOOO
It might not get animated tho
@@igee1605 doesnt matter, I was meaning the manga anyway
BERSERK IS COMING BACK
2:45 that, gloriouss face
Reminds me of the scene of that guy from Nazca grinning in the Malcom in the Middle OP.
One of the greatest to ever hold the pen. Your work will be remembered for generations. Rest in peace kentaro Miura
Never heard this alternative version before, its pretty awesome!
Lol, the first image of Guts makes him look like a Joestar.
Guts and Jonathan based off Kenshiro actually
Maxwell Jardine pretty right
@Maxwell Jardine I gotta disagree there m8
@Maxwell Jardine btw im big jojo berserk and hnk fan I had watched all and still I can say kenshiro is strongest
What if he is the first in the line of ancestors?
By the way
1997 Guts > Kenshiro > Jonathan Joestar
Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura. Thank you for Berserk, a masterpiece and an EPIC that will stand the test of time. Thank you and may your legacy live on. Keep on struggling
That final illustration of Guts really hits hard. rip Miura, I'll put my glasses on just for you.
*grasses
The first version was incredible.
This one... This one is legendary.
Glad I'm not the only one who likes it alot more. Still wish it had an out of tune guitar riff though lol
Demo version is awesome too.
that one is faster and somehow has a melancholic tone to it...
Just those few changes make it a totally different song.
it's amazing
Best Mangas i've ever read... Artwork is fantastic and the plot is tremendous!
The anime is also great, but not as the mangas, still great nonetheless!
Thanks for the upload!
Ahh Berserk TV show , Final Fantasy 7 , 1997 really was the year of the big sword wielding protagonist ❤

The new one it's a piece of shit and an abomination to Berserker itself.
i will imagine this song playing when reading the final chapters of the manga

You have enhanced all of our lives, directly or indirectly, and will continue to do so for a very long time,still. Thank you, Kentaro Miura!
Holy shit this is AWESOME. I love both versions honestly, so glad i found this

thanks for this version!!!! it's very nice

why is this actually kind of a banger

Grande! Il mio manga preferito!
This song has such a charm to it and it’s great
if berserk ever ends, and an anime is produced which covers the whole story I'd want to this to play over the credits after the ending
Beautiful
I imagine, if production of the 1997 anime continued, they’d swap this version for the intro during the Black Swordsman and Conviction Arcs
Amazing! !!
i just bought my first copy of berserk... and we begin the journey
It's always a nice experience to hear this song.
No im not crying, its just the rain
RIP Kentaro Miura, thank you, you will be greatly missed
This version sounds pretty cool.
now this is a song to start the day
Perfect
I just love listening to this version of the berserk opening
Qué sensación de nostalgia que te genera este temazo
and I thought it couldn't get any better O.O
OMG!!! SO AMAZING! I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THIS MP3!
Thank you, Miura.
Wooooooooo, cantando a todo pulmón carajooo
I'm liking this. It's difficult to decide which is better. Both are good. I like it up here on the fence.
Great version:D
This sounds like the version of Berserk where no one dies
Very good alternative version tnx

I've been listening to this song for the better half of my life. How am I just finding out about this version now?
Best series i've ever seen.
Berserk finally coming back
I swear berserk is on my favorite seinen manga there's nothing that can compare like this masterpiece
This series was the reason that I became a Fan of the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) style Fantasy genre.
Where can you play d&d and is it free
It’s the reason I started playing Dark Souls and Bloodborne
RIP MR. MIURA
Bro i need this fuckin genre
I don't know what it is, but those starting 24 seconds give me goose bumps, I love it so much. It sounds almost more hopeful than the original
this is so refresing after listening to the original on loop after a whole week
now to put this one on loop for another week untl i hate it
That's muh boy!
I put my grasses on, but suddenly, everything went Wong.
imagine this, after so long finally a studio decides to put a lot of effort into a new berserk anime, actually animating the first three episodes covering the black swordsman arc, before we finally get the proper intro to the new anime and this song pops up with the original intro remade.
Im gonna listen to this and cry in my room when i read that very last berserk chapter
