Berserk has always been revered for its beautiful artwork and compelling storytelling. While the manga's detailed illustrations left fans in awe, adapting it into animation required finesse.
Unfortunately, the 2016 anime adaptation fell short of expectations, opting for a mix of 2D and 3D animation that left the characters feeling stiff and lifeless.
Disappointed by this mistake, fans were eagerly waiting for a redemption. Studio Eclypse, a group of Berserk enthusiasts, took matters into their own hands by creating a fan-made adaptation of The Black Swordsman.
In the teaser trailer, Studio Eclypse emphasizes their dedication to honoring the legacy of Kentaro Miura. Their goal is to faithfully bring the late mangaka's vision to life while introducing fresh elements to the story.
By focusing on the first two chapters of the manga, the fan-made anime aims to take the story deeper than previous adaptations.
With a commitment to improving animation quality and sticking to 2D art, Studio Eclypse hopes to overcome the flaws of the 2016 adaptation. By preserving Miura's original work while improving the animation, they wish to give Berserk the justice it deserves.
Fans hope that this fan-made effort will capture the essence of Berserk and deliver a satisfying viewing experience that pays homage to the beloved series and its creator .
