| Q: |
What is Berserk? |
| A: |
Berserk is a manga series that is still in progress,
as well as an Anime serie that ended in 1998. The manga series
are being serialized bi-monthly by Young Animal magazine.
The animation is an adaptation of the manga series "Berserk".
Though both are "Berserk", there are quite a few
differences between the two. (As for example, alternations
of minor story line, and omissions of certain events/characters.
Due to the fact that the series were air in Japan, many violent
and nudity scenes were censored. Nonetherless Berserk Anime
stands as one of the best Animes available to date.
