Berserk - the future
So what's new with the Berserk series you ask?
For those of you that thought it ended with episode 25 - a pretty horrible ending in many ways, you guys are wrong. :laugh:
Firstly, the manga is still going strong! With 36 published volumes (the anime ended at volume 13). Well "going strong" is perhaps not entirely true, as the publish dates seem random and it can be weeks between each release. But is it worth it? Oh yes!
Secondly, an animated movie, has been scheduled for January 2012! Yes it seems far off, but for any true Berserk fan this is great news!
Furthermore, this is not all. To quote Wikipedia:
"In September 2010, a wraparound jacket band on volume 35 of the Berserk manga announced a new anime project. The project was later revealed to be a series of films intended to adapt the entire manga, starting with three films adapting the "Golden Arc" story arc. The first film, Berserk Golden Age Arc I: Egg of the Supreme Ruler, will be released in January 2012 by Warner Bros. Pictures in Japan."
So yes my friends! We have a lot to look forward to!
I just created a Berserk group. Feel free to join me. -->Click<--
In the group we can keep updates on what is happening with the film project and the manga of course. Be seeing you! :D

Re: Berserk - the future
I have the series and the manga, The manga is better in my oppinion mostly because of the extended and non stupid ending. :P
I didnt know of the movie, that pretty cool. I shall keep an eye out for it, thanks!
I thought the manga had finished?? @_@

Re: Berserk - the future
I agree with you it was a poor ending. However I forgive them since it was the anime that made me have a look at the series. x)
The manga is still ongoing. Actually with volume 35 it just recently entered a new arc. So I guess it's not even near to be completed. Each arc usually spans around 10 volumes.. I just wish Kentarō Miura (the manga artist) would speed up a little.. The releases has been very irregular since late 2006.
