Possible spoilers ahead. This is a new teaser trailer for the third Berserk feature and it gives us a glimpse into the mayhem, carnage and trauma that comes at the very end of the Golden Age Arc. This is where the story goes from conventional medieval combat to full on supernatural horror and I was left pretty horrified at the end which just reinforced how swept up in the Berserk saga I was. It is directed by Toshiyuki Kubooka who was the director of the previous two instalments and Studio 4°C look to have continued with their excellent animation.
After Guts leaves the employ of the Band of the Hawk it all goes very wrong for Griffith and The Band of the Hawk. Casca does her best to hold the remnants of the mercenary army together but with Midland’s soldiers closing in on them their days seem numbered. Until Guts steps back into the picture. This, however, will lead him to the Eclipse Ceremony and the horrific creation of Femto.
If these Berserk Movies are ever released in the U.S., I am going to buy the crap out of them. I’ll buy the s*** out of them sooo hard that when I slam down the change, it will smack the cashier in the face.
I would like to be there to see it!
I recently watched the TV series and I was blown away. The film trailers leave me even more hyped.
The Berserk movies are definitely getting a U.S. release.
