Will Berserk ever get a proper anime adaptation? In this era of anime tropes it is highly unlikely that it would get a "proper" adaptation (the proper here being in my eyes, at least).
We can safely conclude that despite having long gaps between releases, the author does regularly work on it, so even though it may take 10/15/20 more years with this kind of schedule, Berserk will eventually finish.
The 97 Berserk anime is great. After that go read the manga, from beginning on. 97 is good overall but if you want peak Beserk then read the manga. Not the 2016 version. If you can find the 97 version watch that, if not then read the manga. Depends. How much do you make an hour? 1997 anime of Beserk is excellent.
Notable Moments:
Berserk coming back with six new chapters Miura died in May 2021, leaving the series unfinished. A year after this death, his close friend Kouji Mori confirmed that the series will be completed under his supervision.
The Berserk manga is set to continue following the death of its creator Kentaro Miura last May. Miura's close friend, Kouji Mori – the only person he told Berserk's story to from start to finish – will take over the series and write only what Miura told him without any supplementary or filler stories.
Berserk Publisher Confirms Series Will Continue Without Creator Kentaro Miura. In a surprise announcement, the publisher of the Berserk manga confirms that it will resume production on the beloved dark fantasy series.
Publisher Young Animal has announced that Kentaro Miura's close friend Kouji Mori will take over. The Berserk manga will continue this year, following the death of its creator, Kentaro Miura, last year.
After 30-plus years and more than 3.5 million copies sold, Kentaro Miura's work on the beloved horror-fantasy manga comes to an end with Berserk Volume 41. Dark Horse Manga presents this final volume by Miura-sensei in English for the first time in trade paperback with a two-sided color poster insert.
Berserk fans are finally close to getting Chapter 364 of the popular manga series. The upcoming chapter will presumably end the series; however, there's a small chance that the Berserk manga might continue. Written and illustrated by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is a popular Japanese manga that began in 1989.
A rumor has been circulating on social media, with many fans believing that Berserk, the dark franchise created by Kentaro Miura, will be receiving a movie on the streaming service of Netflix, and while we hate to be the bearers of bad news, this latest report is one hundred percent false.
No. As you might have seen in the latest chapter, the next release was postponed until further notice, meaning we are back in hiatus again.
While Berserk rarely, if ever, stoops to shallow shock value in its chapters, the material is notoriously R-rated, from graphic action scenes to unspeakable acts vividly depicted in the panels, and they are not suitable even for a seinen anime series.
Chapter 364 of Berserk, "Tear of Morning Dew," was the last chapter to be penned by Kentarō Miura before his death.
'Berserk' is still one of the most popular dark fantasy series ever made. What with the death of Kentaro Miura's last year, his manga Berserk will never really be finished. However, the last volume he completed before he passed away will be finally released this November.
As alluded to above, it's clear that Miura intended chapter 364 to end as a cliffhanger with Guts' former-friend-turned-enemy Griffith appearing to him in tears. But now the scene is portrayed as Casca's salvation with Griffith's image used as a way to reiterate her redemption.
