After a nearly 20 year hiatus (unless you count the 2012 film trilogy), the Black Swordsman finally makes his TV return in this bloody good revamp of Kentaro Miura's dark fantasy series, Berserk. Despite the somewhat distracting visuals, "The Branded Swordsman" gets Guts' quest for vengeance off to a strong start.
Before I go any further, newcomers should be aware that Berserk comes with a number of trigger warnings. In the past, the show has depicted incredibly graphic violence, including the brutal murder of a child, and a particularly gruesome rape scene. If you're sensitive to this type of material, Berserk might not be for you. If you're not, know that this new iteration picks up right where the 1997 anime left off, so it's a good idea to research the Golden Age arc before proceeding. (You can do so by either reading the manga published by Dark Horse, or snapping up the DVD collection). Still with me? Good.
