I've been following Berserk for some time, and if anyone wants to see the anime version, go here ->
http://tv-links.co.uk/show.do/3/3682It's also a great site to see many, many other shows, from anime to Monty Python, Red Dwarf, the Blackadder, and very old cartoons such as... Biker Mice from Mars! Wow, anyway, Berserk is good and I'm pretty certain most people here are familiar with it. But I will say that if you think the anime is too bloody or foul, don't go near the manga, it's far more vicious.
And if I had to summarize Berserk, I would say it is a story about a world plunging into darkness, a world already filled with horror but the horror that is coming from beyond makes it look like a pale shadow, and the main character Guts, seemingly cursed from birth, tries to make a life for himself the only way he's ever known how - fighting. But any small boon he receives is taken away until he loses it all and goes on a quest to hunt down the one that took it all away. Bloody, violent, but with some odd dark humor and good characters. Not for everyone, but I like it and in fact I just ordered Vo. 17 a few days ago. The last I heard there are over 32 volumes out in Japan and they have been slowly trickling in here. The art is recognizably older but develops over time - after all, it was originally published in 1989, so yeah it's an older one but great.
