      There’s definitely an animated continuation of the story, after the Eclipse, in 2017, as well as a re-done version of the original animated arcs that preceded it, in 2016.
      The animation in the 2017 Berserk is kind of a funky blend of animation and CGI, but it’s still a stellar interpretation of the Greatest Story Ever Told…

    ARCHE, you along with AllinAll, were the ones who best captured the essence of Berserk perfectly in their fan animations without a doubt.
    Surely there will be other fan projects that are possibly more set to the modern-anime style that surely would have more buzz with the public in general, but don't let that discourage you from continuing this extraordinary project.
    Personally I think it is the most exact, ambitious and with the best quality of all the fan works, representing in every detail (literally!) the true essence of Berserk manga as it should really be brought to the world...
    So please keep going no matter what, this is beyond extraordinary and personally, THIS is the REAL Berserk.
    Thanks again for bringing it to the world and thanks for your massive work, keep it up!

    This is one of the most creative, respectful an intelligent "Second season" for many reasons:
    - it keeps the cliffhanger unsolved and goes straight to Black Swordsman arc, keeping viewers wondering how the fuck he got out from that Hellhole ( which could be shown at the season end or even latter).
    - Pluck is introduced in a seamless way and make his bonding with Guts more natural, since he saw the kind of horror he is facing.
    - incredible action sequence using many techniques, like freeze-frame, silhouette, guts eye being white.

    The animation has that 97 look and feel while still being modern. This was amazing.

      Actually, on the contrary, this feels like it would've came during the time Berserk 97 came out. Definitely feels like a pilot that didn't see the like of day. Love it.

    Thank you for releasing a proper follow-up to my favorite anime of all time. Your hard work means a lot to me and other Berserk fans.

    If this is what we can expect from the team at ARCHE, it's going to be an amazing series, the animation and voice acting along with the soundtrack you've done an absolutely amazing job. Thank you for bringing Berserk back to life
