Summary: Did you people watch the same berserk I did?
Review: 5 stars? for this? this series, was butchered! incredibly important elements were changed from the manga, having a great effect on the story, yet no one complains. The original story was brilliant, this animated series based on it is not. Not only did they have the nerve to change things around, they only told half the story! This series is great at times, but the story has several things that make no sense, such as the absence of Puck, the fairy that should have kept Gatsu company, was in the video game, manga, yet was cut from the series. I've seen some people recommend the manga after the ending, but if you start from where this left off, you're bound to be confused by missing elements. No one wanted to give this series five stars more than me, but I can't hide the disappoint, especially hearing that the animation studio that made this has no intentions of making a continuation to it, since they believe it's popularity has died down. I'm not even going to mention the god awful way this series ends in it's animated form, everyone else has done that I've seen. Bottom line is, I wouldn't like anime if the stories were always butchered from their original form, or if it left the viewers constantly on cliff hanger, except with this one, it's a permanent one.

Summary: disapointing!!
Review: After going through all the previous eps. of beserk. i am very disapointed with the ending. it was nothing short of a hentaiesque finale. ("holy overfiend batman") poor casca. anyway the series was a letdown, i was expecting a lot more especially since the dreamcast game (which they should have based the plot on, instead of some prequel) was so f*cking cool. one thing i hate about epidsodic anime i.e. evangelion,noir,gasaraki. is that it drags on and on. until the near ending when things suddenly start to pick up. it may be fun for most otakus, but to me it's a disturbing trend.

Summary: No, No$B!"(BNo, Every has it wrong.
Review: Been reading all these reviews of Berserk and as an avid fan of the Berserk series, I just thought I should clarify a few points. The first thing is that Berserk, the animation is based on an ONGOING comic book and by no means should anyone think that the animation is the "conclusion" to the Berserk Series. In fact, the animation covers (loosely) books 1 through 13 on the comic series and currently the comic book is at book 26. In other words, the animation really does end prematurely. For many of you don't have the luxury of reading the series and just curious to know what happens, I will write a quick synposis of the rest of the story to date (WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD). 1. After GUTS loses his hand and eye, he is saved by the skull helmed warrior king.
2. Casca become insane and also gives birth a demon child.
3. Guts leaves Casca and goes on a hunt for the all the disciples of the God Hand.
4. Eventually he returns back for Casca and finds out that she is missing (and still insane).
5. He quests out to find her and saves her from a mideval type of Inquisition.
6. Griffith returns in human form and forms of a near Falcon Army used to defend the Midland from these new invaders.
7. Guts teams up with a young witch, insane Casca, a former inquisitor and her bodyguard to hunt down more disciples.
8. Most recently, Guts is superpowered up as he receives an enchanted armor of the dwarves that makes him near superhuman. I think that is about it. No matter what the animation will never do the comics justice just based on the adult nature of the comics. Anyways, I hope this helps some people.

Summary: Great Series... Big misundeerstanding
Review: Berserk has bin favortie anime ever since I laid my eyes on it.
But comming to these last episodes I knew I was going to have a great time with these episodes....I was wrong. Not Only are you left with a huge cliffhanger but It's so darn sad.
All the characters you've grown to love,Juedoe,Pipin,Corkus(yeah),and the hawks are killed one by one by Grotesque and some what messed up demons. Just lookin' at em' they look messed up. Sadly we also see why Guts needs his sword. With out it he's no more then dead just like the rest of the Hawks. This set Episodes may be the most Important of them all. We also see our once loved Griffith turned into a Demon King by the Name of Femto. Also the Hawks find out about Griffiths Dark Truth before he is morphed into the demon lord. And the hawks find out that there the sacrifice. This is also the Darkest chapter in the Berserk series. It's probably the most violent of out of them all. Not to mention we finally see how Guts ended losing his arm and eye. Not a pretty site eather. WARNING THOUGH! IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A HAPPY LOVEY DUVIE ENDING DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DVD because this probably has one of the worst endings I've ever seen in the series. Over all I still think Berserk is a great series. God's hand is a must own for Die Hard Berserk fans. Acctually it's not really and ending. It's more a of a "to be continued" kinda thing. I thought This Dvd was over all good but not the best, especially how it leaves lots of things out. Now that I have finished this Magneficent series awhile ago I've started to read the Manga which far more superb then the anime. Check it out. Well That's all I have to say...and remember...This is not really an ending if you think about...And also when the credits are over you see one final last moment with Guts as he's walking away and as you can see this is after all the hell that he went through in ep 25 but the frustrating thing is "how the hell did he get out alive"?...Well You're just going to have to find out for your self by reading the manga. Later....

Summary: A Disappointing Ending
Review: Berserk is likely one of the greatest animes ever created and has gained the deserved respect of many viewers across nations. The DVD series has gained the show a great amount of attention in America and has become a favorite among animes. The past DVDs in the series were fantastic and had tons of drama, adventure, fight sequences and messages about life. This DVD SUPPOSEDLY draws the series to its end. This DVD presents the ending of the beloved anime series Berserk, yet the story comes short. It is extremely confusing and it can disturb you mentally. The ending is pointlessly violent, beyond belief violent and gory, making the other episodes seem PG rated. The other episodes did have violence yet it was simply sword throwing and slashing, but this episode has gore beyond belief with agonizing screams while people are being eaten alive...not for the young or sensitive. I recommend this DVD to anyone who wishes to see the conclusion of the series, which is still confusing, yet a necessary to anyone who is a fan of Berserk. If I would have rated this DVD on story, it would probably have received 1/2 star, just because I was being kind for it being the conclusion to the series. The other episodes of the series are just so incredibly amazing, they make up for the poor story and nauseating violence on this DVD.

Summary: Best Anime Period
Review: Berserk is truly amazing. There is a ton of emotion in the entire series, the animation and artwork are very fitting for the time period. The characters are extremely well developed (more so in the manga) and also, when you watch the show, just remember that it follows the story of Gatsu, not the rest of the Hawks. The ending is spectacular and is the ultimate cliffhanger that leaves you emotionally drained and weak. The creator Kentaro Miura had the whole thing planned out. It's not "unfinished" as some people say. There's this thing called storyboarding, where the whole series get's laid out before it begins production. :P Sometimes you also have to understand stories and how they work to truly experience a show or something like this - theme is a big part of a story. In berserk, the theme deals with fate, and how no one can escape their own fate, but they can try - gatsu This is the best anime i have ever seen. The manga is even better, but the anime will definately get you started. The experience is better if u see the anime first. GO BUY THIS!!! NOW!!!

Summary: The end?
Review: Berserk was a good series the whole way through. It was not perfect but it is definately worth owning. I would highly recommend this for any mature audiences.
As the series enters into the end of its last story arc, Griffith's fate draws near. He must make the ultimate sacrifice in order for one last chance to achieve his dreams. Guts, Caska, and the rest of the band of the hawk then must fight for there very right to exist.
The only complaint I have is this series has absolutely no ending at all. The skull night was supposed to save Guts and CaskA from Griffith, yet the skull night's character was cut out of the series. So, rather then force an ending, they simply leave Guts and Caska being torn apart and raped by demons at Griffith's command. It was a poor choice of an ending.

Summary: "Why don't I ever realize what I have until it's lost?"
Review: Even though I can understand why some people were put off by the open-ended conclusion of this series, I think the creators did an excellent job in bringing the story full circle. I am aware that the manga is more extensive and has more characters, but the story told in the anime has logic in itself and can be enjoyed nonetheless. In this set of episodes we finally find the answers to several questions that we have posed ourselves through the previous installments: What is the Egg of the King and what is its role? How does the first episode in the series tie up with the rest of the story? What is the involvement of the demons we find in some of the episodes and what is their relationship with the rest of the characters? Guts, Caska and several other members of the Band of Hawks set out to rescue Griffith, who has been held in the castle as a prisoner and tortured extensively for several years. Guts is feeling extremely guilty thinking that Griffith was captured and broken because he could not go on after Guts deserted him. The events that unfold from this point on generate confusion and unrest in the members of the Hawks, with Guts and Caska finding solace on each other and deepening their relationship. Still, Caska is torn between following Guts or staying and trying to help Griffith. From this point forward, the events unfold at great speed, with the demons finally entering the story full force, and the Band of the Hawks facing their destiny. Now I think the next step for me is to wait for the complete manga to be released in the US so I can follow the continuation of this story. I am fully satisfied with this series and it would be great if a second season were produced at some point. One final word of advice, when the last episode finishes and the titles come up, keep watching! There is an extra scene after the titles that is worth seeing.

Summary: Full Circle
Review: Highly anticipated, highly gory, and completely unexpected ending to quite possibly one of the best animes of all time. The first time I watched the ending, I went into a week of doubting, confusion, and depression. Luckily, I had (and still have) a very close friend that made me rewatch the first episode, which brings the series full circle. I've watched the series now 5 times, and I have just now learned that there is additional material after the closing credits from the final episode. If you have enjoyed the series thus far, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING THE MANGA. The manga is still being written, has more characters, and has a deeper, even more intense story line.
