It's cute because they don't realise that this is the 'tame' part of Berserk. None of this stuff would be considered spoilers btw, volumes 1-3 are considered a prologue section of sorts to introduce the main character and the world he lives in- it's a very long series with many villains that last for many volumes- these villains are literally just throw away ones that last for a volume or two and are not really important. It's also about 3 decades old now so... so to some it may be okay to talk about 'spoilers' because this part of the story was written in the late 80's. Berserk 1998 is the good anime, it covers volumes 4-13 roughly with a little bit of volume 1 and 3 but not much. Volume 4-14 is considered the 'beginning' of the story, it's like the fellowship of the rings section before shit gets real. All the other anime's are... well they're quite bad and don't care to much about accurately following the manga, to the point they squeeze volumes 1-16 in a single 20 minutes episode and mess around with the settings and characters and how they meet etc. It's a mess. I wouldn't recommend going near any of the anime except the 1998 one, otherwise your impression of Berserk will be quite bad. My advice is to read the manga first, until you finish or reach near volume 13, then you can watch the 1998 anime, or you can watch the 1998 anime then read berserk (because the anime ends of cliffhanger so you need to read it if you want closure to the story). Just keep in mind that volumes 1-3, are NOT fully adapted into the anime so you'll need to read those still at some point. There is a movie trilogy, but it's best watched after reading the manga or watching the 1998 anime because it's spoiler heavy while also lacking a lot of character development and world building as it seems to assume your already familiar with the story. Lastly, do not read or watch the series if you've got a weak stomach. A lot of sensitive subject matter is explored and very mature themes (Like rape, sexual abuse, child abuse, etc). It's also well known for it's absurd amount of nudity and gore and never pulls it's punches. None of this is the main focus of the story, there actually is a really deep and well fleshed out story beneath all the violence and gore, so if your hoping for mindless violence, well after the first couple of volumes this story may not be for you.
I've been reading comics, graphic novels, bande dessinée and manga all my life, and Berserk is my absolute favorite. There's a reason why the Berserk fandom is huge. The first few trades (A.K.A The Black Swordsman Arc, which is collected in the first Deluxe) aren't known for having stellar writing or art, but from the Golden Age Arc and onwards it's masterpiece on both aspects. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Reading through the Golden Age Arc and getting to the end was a very similar experience to watching the first season of Game of Thrones and becoming hooked (and shocked) after that ending. Knowing now that you've only ever read a few manga there's a few must-reads that I have to recommend: Vinland Saga, Vagabond, and 20th Century Boys/Monster (same author). There's just so many amazing mangas out there but I don't want to overwhelm you lol, so just give those 3 a try. As for Euro comics you should definitely try Elric by Julien Blondel and Requiem Vampire Knight. They're both Dark Fantasy with AMAZING art but RVK in particular is just insane and on part with Metabarons. Keep up the great work man! Cheers.
Oh man I'm glad you two enjoyed what you read so far. Berserk is by far one of the coolest manga created. Just wait until you get to the golden age and the eclipse; hopefully you'll be as hooked as I was during that time.
1:05 The fact that they are bigger is what makes this book amazing, now we can read Miura´s work with higher quality. Manga artists normally draw in a A4-A3 size paper so when it´s reduced to a smaller print the art loses some of the quality on the lines and details. And Puck is a he. Great video btw, I really wanna get this for my Bday
You will see later on what made Guts mean and the reason he doesn't trust anyone or doesn't want anyone to touch him, bad stuff happens to him and it made him that way.
Stuart Morris yea this is actually bullshit i pre-ordered also and still haven’t received mine... its saying expected by april 12 but hasn’t even shipped
You think the Behelit is unsettling? Just you wait until you find out what it's used for. Also, I'm super jealous your got yours so soon. My copy won't be arriving until some time in May.
I just purchase the first 2 deluxe editions and am excited to start off the series. I have never read any manga before so this will be interesting. I have watched the 3 berserk movies on Netflix but other than that I am going in pretty much new to the topic.
i have been a berserk fan for well over 15 years,it really makes me happy to see you get into this series Gem.It is so awesome and lives up to all its hype!!GUTS is a complete badass!
The first issue came out in 1989. It's a long running manga and its the prototype for every Japanese character with a oversized sword. It's a masterpiece.
Really glad you enjoyed Berserk man. I got into this BECAUSE the Prime1 statues were speaking to me. No regrets whatsoever, and I'll tell you this, the statutes ARE incredible!! Yes the bases are huge but the space is well utilized with tons of Easter eggs and nods to the manga. Nice to see Phie on board as well. You guys are great!
because of your excitement for Berserk...i ended up buying all 5 books available now and preordered the 6th..also bought Hellsing deluxe and preordered the 2nd...LOVE the quality of these and i blame you for making me spend so so much money on these great books!
Funny that you say Guts' sword is like Clouds from FF7; Its the opposite. Berserk started the whole oversized great sword trend that continues to dominate the high fantasy genre.
When you get Volume 2, you should do a spoiler-free review (of the book quality) itself and then a separate spoiler review for those of us who want to see your opinion on the story!
Berserk is legit. It was hard for me to accept the fact that I enjoyed it so much. I mean if you really take the time to soak in everything that's happening, it's pretty fucked up. With that said, I'm looking forward to buying vol 2 😂
This is fast becoming one of my favourite channels. And you are correct, do not watch the animes before finishing the mangas. I did (the Golden Arc), and it kills a bit the begining of the story. Great book.
Never heard of this before I saw Gem pick this up. Bought it on a whim and now that I just got volume 2 I started reading it and MAN this book was made for me! Gem with the picks ! Can't wait for all the volumes to come out
Oh trust me, once you get past the golden age, you will definitely never be the same. I'm pretty confident that this will be your favorite series or favorite manga at the very least.
The 90's anime has about 20-ish episodes but I do recommend reading the manga first because the 90's anime is consider the good one but it ends on a cliffhanger.
One of the best video formats I've seen about comics/manga reviews. I've just bought the book, thanks for the info! Some friends have been reading Berserk for like 15 years, but it'll be my first time ever, 1st time I actually open a Berserk manga. Keep up the awesome work!
I watched the berserk anime like back in the mid 2000’s, like 2006 I think. And I had no idea there was a comic book before the show. That’s legit I’m bout to swoop that.
I didn’t even know this existed until you popped up on my recommended. I bought all of them and pre ordered the 5th immediately. Thanks for the video and bringing this book to my attention.
The 97 Anime can be found right here on UA-cam it's 25 episodes both Subbed and Dubbed, the 3 Movies (Which cover the same volumes but go a tad further) can be found on Netflix if you have it. Both are good, but I think the 97 anime just hit the foreboding emotional notes better. Just a heads up, it was impossible for me not to want to read the Manga afterwards..
You're killin' me Smalls...great video! Love hearing you riff off one another, and get each of your unique takes. I pre-ordered on Amazon and I guess they didn't get enough stock to satisfy pre-orders. I got it for a decent price, but it is on hold claiming to be delivered in about a month or so. I heard there are more on the way, can anyone confirm? I picked one up at a book store just in case but paid full retail and I can barely sit down that stung my ass so bad. I didn't cancel my pre-order on Amazon so if I know it is coming my way at a good price I can take back this retail copy.
I was thinking about getting one of those statues, they look awesome. Yeah this series is really good, came across the anime when I was in college then I wanted more so I got the manga. Definitely in the top 5. Got the brand of sacrifice tattooed on my neck like Guts!! Keep up the reviews!!
I knew you'd love it! If you or the wifey wanna watch the anime, the old movies pick up right after this (Golden Age Arc). Pretty sure there are english dubs, but not sure if they're good. Definitely don't watch the new anime though, it's not good. Love the blooper reel, definitely make more videos with the wife! She's chill af.
Wow. First The Incal and Berserk as follow-up??!! You folks on fire 😎✌️I found out about Berserk with the The Golden Age arc trilogy in blu-ray. 3rd movie gave me nightmares for weeks, not kidding. Highly recommended after you read the first omnibus. 👍👍
Gem, if you want to play an amazing Berserk game, the closest thing you'll come to is Dark Souls(especially)/Bloodborne/Sekiro. Overlapping values, themes and philosophy. They are difficult, unforgiving games at first, but they will reward you for persevering.
If you want to read/watch a good manga series I think you and your wife would like Parasyte, it has a bit of everything when it comes to the genre. I watched the anime with a friend (which I’m super picky with) and I fell in love with the series. It kinda reminds me of the Prototype video games but only slightly. The best part is the anime is 24 episodes and the manga series is only 8 volumes. I think you and your wife might like it and awesome video Gem 💎
calm down fanboy. im sure everyone here loves berserk but not everyone is so obsessed with the series they ejaculate every time they see a berserk character
7:10 the reason the art style changes is because in the original magazine berserk serialized in, those painted-style pages were actually in full colour, but unfortunately, the colour pages didn't make it into the deluxe editions, unlike the Viz media JoJo hardcovers or other manga in those formats
The anime and manga are both great ! I even joy the 2016 which could be waaaay better but ehh ive learned to love it. 1997 anime only has 25 ep which is perfect
Weird seeing this years later after all your recent statue reviews. I just finished the golden age arch and wanted to see what your thoughts in them were
Gem you're so lucky. I'm still waiting on my copy from Amazon, and I'm pretty sure with Amazon's horrendous shipping that my copy will be dinged the fuck up.
I got told about Berserk but never got into until this year buying watching Omnar from near mint condition all ready have book one will be buying follow week I will buy second book. And ready pre order Berserk deluxe edition volume 3 at my local bookstore
Started watching these older videos (normally I just watch your statue stuff) and I'm enjoying it! I have the Brand tattooed onto me, you should do the same. Haha!
I’m current with the manga; with that said, I think you guys should definitely give spoilers and discuss the story. These first parts have been out for over 30 years, so lol to those still seeking spoiler protection on it. I’ve got your other four videos saved to watch, so I’ll enjoy seeing both your reactions.
Don’t mind the black and white at all it’s just the right to left I have trouble sometime I’m so use to left to right I brought the akira set in that format
Berserk has a 1996 anime with 25 episode then 3 anime movies that go over the same stuff as 1996 anime that came out 2013's and two 13 episode anime's series that go after the golden age arc that came out 2016-17
Can't wait till you find out about Guts's full backstory and why he's the kind of person he is at the start of the series, it's incredible to say the least.
Great review! Need to get this book! Watch the anime Steve it's awesome. The 25 episodes are awesome. Also there was an anime movie was released years later 3 parts. The newest series's not good to compare with the ones I mentioned above.
When it comes to berserk the manga is where everything’s at. Both anime’s failed to capture what Miura created and its been the same for a lot of shows. The anime’s are so watered down and inferior to the original it’s like the anime of one piece compared to the manga
There's gotta be another print coming. I'm in the UK and I had this preordered for months and the release keeps getting quietly pushed back. Anyone in Europe actually get a copy of this that wasn't imported?
A couple that BERSERKS together STAYS together! Great review! 🤘😎
You had the perfect opportunity to say “A couple that BERSERKS together WORKS together!”

Theses two dive into the abyss not knowing what awaits them.

I was the same when I read this. Smashed it in 2 sittings and just wanted more! Love that Dark Horse have done this format for this set.
Yoo. If you liked berserk you have to check out vinland saga and vagabond

Damn you guys havent even gotten to the good stuff cant wait !
It Is the most fantastic thing anyone could read :)
Gem, if you want to play an amazing Berserk game, the closest thing you'll come to is Dark Souls(especially)/Bloodborne/Sekiro. Overlapping values, themes and philosophy. They are difficult, unforgiving games at first, but they will reward you for persevering.
Legit all great choices, if only they had a berserk game with blood borne mechanics. I would cannon my money into that shii
Gambit and Rogue are back!
Man I can't wait 'till you read the golden age 😁
9:07 "Artist: Kentaro Miura. He is a sick, twisted freak. And I love him." Best way to describe Miura, lol.

Puck is a dude. Gambino is Guts adoptive father, not “Ganon”. It’s the Dragon slayer not buster sword.
good to know
calm down fanboy. im sure everyone here loves berserk but not everyone is so obsessed with the series they ejaculate every time they see a berserk character
@It's Alright i dont think either of them would lose. i think they'd get a long quite well and not even fight lol
The anime from the 90s is a ten out of ten but the Manga is a twenty out of ten anime is like rated r Manga rated xxx
The beserk 1997 anime is what i would recommend. Also, i think the english dub is also better too.
Have you ever read Vinland saga some dope Viking action. Great video dude love your channel it’s awesome to watch your channel grow!!!!
I wish Vinland saga stayed the same genre that the first four books did.
thanks Jordan...have not read that one.

Berserk has a 1996 anime with 25 episode then 3 anime movies that go over the same stuff as 1996 anime that came out 2013's and two 13 episode anime's series that go after the golden age arc that came out 2016-17
The 2016-17 anime is shit
Can't wait till you find out about Guts's full backstory and why he's the kind of person he is at the start of the series, it's incredible to say the least.
Phie is cool af!
Fair Warning if you watch the 97 anime or the 3 movies you'll want to read the manga that much more..
New chapter coming this month on the 26th.
Great review! Need to get this book!
Watch the anime Steve it's awesome.
The 25 episodes are awesome.
Also there was an anime movie was released years later 3 parts.
The newest series's not good to compare with the ones I mentioned above.
Its better if you read it,anime doesn’t do it justice
The 90s anime is pretty awesome even if it skipped some things
@@Amra.. i agree,90s anime introduced me to the manga,but i meant mostly about new anime,i also think that miura's art is hard to replicate
You in for a treat my dude
Start of a journey
i havent bothered with the new series but original 90s anime is considered better it ends when Gutz gets the brand
When it comes to berserk the manga is where everything’s at. Both anime’s failed to capture what Miura created and its been the same for a lot of shows. The anime’s are so watered down and inferior to the original it’s like the anime of one piece compared to the manga
I've just finished to read this edition, what a amazing experience, now i'm waiting Vol. 2 (bought it last week) ;)
There's gotta be another print coming.
I'm in the UK and I had this preordered for months and the release keeps getting quietly pushed back.
Anyone in Europe actually get a copy of this that wasn't imported?
Same boat dude I pre-ordered it in December, fookin Shamazon
Randomtask68 I pre ordered mine from forbidden planet and got it delivered late Feb.
