Should this item rank higher or lower?
Produced in 1997 by OLM, Berserk brought Kentaro Miura magnum opus to television by focusing exclusively on the Golden Age arc. The series chronicles the rise and devastating fall of the Band of the Hawk, tracking the complicated dynamic between Guts, Griffith, and Casca. Rather than relying on high-frame-rate action, the production leveraged detailed cell art, dramatic still pans, and an ethereal ambient electronic score composed by Susumu Hirasawa. The climax remains one of the most haunting and emotionally harrowing sequences in television history, leaving an indelible imprint on modern dark fantasy literature and video games such as Dark Souls.
Animated by Oriental Light and Magic (OLM) and directed by Naohito Takahashi across 25 episodes from 1997 to 1998 with a haunting score by Susumu Hirasawa, Berserk adapts the Golden Age arc of Kentaro Miura's dark fantasy manga.
