Berserk: The Complete 1997 TV Series Is Only $37 At Amazon, Best Price Yet

Amazon has dropped the price of Berserk: The Complete 1997 TV Series to its best yet; you can grab the fantastic anime on Blu-ray for only $37.39 (was $60). This Blu-ray set launched earlier this year and has remained popular ever since. Prior deals have led to Amazon selling out, so you may want to grab the latest offer while you can. Berserk fans can pair the 1997 series with The Golden Age Arc Memorial Edition, which was remastered and recut into 13 episodes and launched earlier this week (August 27).

• Berserk (1997) — $37.39 ($60)
• Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition — $70

Adapted from Kentaro Miura’s legendary manga, Berserk tells the story of Guts and his eternal battle against demonic forces. Dark fantasy mixed with brutal violence, the anime series took some deviations from the source material but it was praised for how it handled the darker themes of Miura’s work. This is a limited-edition steelbook version of Berserk and it contains all 25 episodes from the series in high-definition. Both the Japanese and English language dubs are available on the disc, and all extras from previous releases have been included.

Many years later, a new Berserk anime would start over from scratch and was a more faithful adaptation. This trilogy of 2012-2013 films weren’t quite as good as the 1997 series as it mixed beautiful 2D animation with CGI to mixed results, but they are still worth watching. The Golden Age Arc Memorial Edition recuts the remastered films into 13 episodes. The Blu-ray release features both English and Japanese dubs, and for extras, you’ll get the textless opening and ending songs in the two-disc set.

If you want to check out the original manga, the Deluxe Editions are the way to go. All 14 of these gorgeous hardcover compilations are available at Amazon, and many of them are discounted by $15-$20. Each one contains three volumes of Berserk. You can also preorder Berserk Volume 42, the first collected trade paperback with material not written by Miura, who passed away in 2021.
