Berserk: The Golden Age (movies)

[Glass Heart 34]

A topic for the newest adaptation of the manga favorite Berserk. It will take the shape of a movie saga which begins with a trilogy adapting the Golden Age arc.

The first movie, Berserk - The Golden Age Part I: The Egg of the King, is set to hit the japanese theaters nxt february.

Berserk is a dark fantasy story. Guts, a brutal mercenary with a traumatic past, joins the Band of the Hawk after losing a bet with its leader, the charismatic Griffith.

Through his life as Griffith's subordinate, Griffith evolves as a more respectable warrior and shows signs of care of those around him. Becoming Griffith's trusted right-hand man, he develops a harsh rivalry with Casca, a proud woman soldier who devots her entire life for Griffith. But even she would eventually softened to Guts.

But the day comes when Griffith finally attains his dream of his own kingdom. That's the day when Guts decides to leave and to follow his own path, abandonning his companions. But Griffith could never accept to lose his most trusted soldier...

For those who don't know the original manga, Berserk is known for its brillant story, one of the best dark fantasy story ever, but also for its strong violence and for some controversial sex scenes (which are a little too explicit), including love scenes (especially one scene between two major characters, brillantly conceived and brillantly drawn) and rape scenes (most notably the infamously known rape scene of a main character: the scene itself which is almost unbearable but also the consequences which deeply affect the characters and the story from that point).

So, it's some kind of mature reading. Not really a title that anyone can read.

But honestly I don't think we can expect much sex scenes in the animated movies. lol !
