Long-awaited Berserk 1997 anime arrives on Blu-Ray

The 1997 anime Berserk is finally coming to Blu-ray with the stunning remaster it deserves. Get ready to see it in a whole new light as the beloved series makes its debut on Blu-ray. With the recent passing of Berserk's author, Kentaro Miura, fans are eagerly anticipating any new content, including this highly-anticipated remaster.

Berserk fans can relate to the difficulties of finding a quality anime adaptation following the failed attempt at a 3D animation style in 2016, which was the only adaptation to explore content beyond the Golden Age. Despite this, there is optimism that the re-release of the Golden Age films with additional scenes will reignite interest and lead to a new and improved Berserk anime.

Berserk Blu-Ray remaster of 1997 anime announced

Discotek Media, a DVD and Blu-Ray publisher known for remastering older anime such as Astro Boy, Lupin the Third, and the infamous Ghost Stories, has revealed plans to release a remastered version of the Berserk 1997 anime on Blu-Ray.

Get ready for the return of a classic with Berserk: The Complete 1997 TV Series. The epic story of Guts is making its comeback in stunning HD, complete with updated subtitles, classic English dubs, and bonus content from previous releases. Don't miss out on this timeless masterpiece.

The remastered version of the 1997 Berserk anime will feature all 25 episodes, covering the events of the Golden Age saga up to the Eclipse. However, readers will notice that some of the manga's more controversial content has been censored or removed. The Blu-Ray box set will include both English and Japanese dubs, HD quality episodes, and the classic blooper reel. While the release date has not been announced, fans are eagerly anticipating the remaster's arrival.

While Blu-Rays are meant to avoid region locking, most of Discotek Media's releases are only compatible with Region 1 players, which includes the United States and Canada. International fans of Berserk may have to invest in a region-free Blu-Ray player to access these releases.

This is the current information available for the upcoming Berserk 1997 anime Blu-Ray remaster. Fans of Berserk will want to stay informed about the upcoming manga chapters and related releases. While Berserk is distinct from One Piece, both series have poignant moments that resonate with viewers, so we have compiled a list of One Piece's most emotional scenes.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z fan of the Berserk manga and anime, I am thrilled about the upcoming Blu-Ray release of the 1997 anime series. The original anime is a classic, and I can't wait to see it remastered in HD with updated subtitles and bonus content. I'm also glad that Discotek Media is including both the English and Japanese dubs, as I enjoy both versions of the anime.

However, I am disappointed that some of the manga's more controversial content has been censored or removed. I understand that this is likely due to the fact that the Blu-Ray release is being targeted at a wider audience, but I still think it's a shame that some of the original content has been altered. Overall, I'm excited about the upcoming Berserk 1997 anime Blu-Ray remaster and I think it will be a great way for fans to experience the classic series in a new way.
