A group of Berserk fans have aimed to create their own anime of the series, and they’ve received tremendous support for their efforts.
Since then, we’ve received a quality trilogy of films recapping the Golden Age that was given a release with new scenes treatment as a tribute to the late Berserk author Kentaro Miura. Still, apart from those releases, there is nothing else worth mentioning.
That is, until a group of fans came together to make a faithfulanime adaptationof the Black Swordsman Berserk arc.
Fan-made Berserk anime recieves huge support
The 1997 Berserk anime briefly touches upon this arc in the first episode but is heavily cut down to the very bare bones of the arc, only including an early segment of the Black Swordsman arc, heavily censoring and changing details of the story. This fan adaptation may aim to recreate the Black Swordsman arc faithfully, and judging by the violence included in the teaser, this will be no-holds-barred regarding accuracy.
What supports this school of thought is the Studio ECLYPSE Twitter/X page with a post showing an image of Guts and a villain known as “The Count” in his apostle form. A famous scene not shown in anime before, despite the arc’s brief inclusion in the 1997 anime, further proves that Eclypse is striving for a faithful adaptation.
This collaboration of fans known as Studio ECLYPSE includes markReymer, who runs their own animation YouTube channel full of anime-inspired works, including recreating a scene from the infamous “Lost Children” arc of Berserk. All Berserk enthusiasts will want to watch out for this fantastic fan-driven project as more action-packed animation is planned for the near future.
