Underrated Berserk 1997 anime series now available on Blu-Ray
The 1997 Berserk anime is finally getting a fully-fledged Blu-Ray remaster, but not all fans may be able to watch it
Berserk fans are often starved for new content with long gaps between chapters, disappointing modern anime adaptations, and the awful blow dealt with the death of series creator Kentaro Miura, putting the continuation of Berserk into question before official confirmation by Miura’s staff who’ll go on to continue the manga.
While demands for a faithful Berserk anime adaptation are still rampant, with few answers from big-name anime studios, fans will be happy to learn of the new Berserk Blu-Ray remaster of the beloved 1997 anime available to pre-order now.
Berserk 1997 anime remastered for Blu-Ray
Published by Discotek Media and sold on Amazon, the Berserk 1997 Blu-Ray contains all 25 episodes of the anime remastered in HD, both the Japanese and English dubs of the series, and the hilarious outtake reel this series is famous for.
The Berserk 1997 two-disk Blu-Ray remaster will cost $59.95 and is aiming for an estimated release date of March 26, 2024.
Fair warning for international fans: this is a “Region A” Blu-Ray set only. It may not work on your players outside of US territories and East and Southeast Asia. This region locking does mean international fans may have to fork out for a region-free Blu-Ray player if they want to see the 1997 Berserk anime in its highest quality.
The official cover art depicts Guts as he appears after the Golden Age, his eye gone, his arm replaced with the iron prosthetic; while the 1997 anime mostly takes place in the Golden Age, we briefly see glimpses of this version of Guts at the beginning and end of the series, bookending who he becomes because of this harrowing journey.
Fans can pre-order the Berserk 1997 Blu-Ray remaster right now from Amazon. If you’re after more Berserk check out our picks for the funniest moments in the bleak series, believe or not they exist, and everything we know about the upcoming Berserk chapter.
