[Quote]The wraparound jacket band on the 35th volume of Kentarou Miura's Berserk fantasy manga is announcing this month that a new anime project is launching. More information will be provided in Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine and the affiliated Young Animal Web site. The manga has been running in Young Animal since 1989. Oriental Light and Magic and VAP already adapted the story into a 25-episode television anime series from 1997 to 1998, and Media Blasters released this earlier anime in North America. Dark Horse Comics and Digital Manga Publishing are publishing the 34th manga volume this month. Dark Horse Comics describes the manga as the following: His name is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with The Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice. But Guts won't take his fate lying down; he'll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the damned — and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death … or vengeance. [Via Earl.Box, raito-kun, AICN Anime] Update: More background information added. Update: A television commercial narrated by singer, actor, and well-known Berserk fan Gackt will promote the release of the 35th manga volume. Four versions of the commercial will run from Wednesday, September 29 to October 3. The official website will re-open after a revamp on Tuesday at about 9:30 a.m. with the television commercial and a separate, web-only commercial. In addition, an official Twitter account, "Berserk_project," has launched.

If you are here to bitch and moan about it being anime then begone.
But the anime cuts out so much stuff from the manga... Nothing wrong with a second season; I just wish they did it better
Berserk is one of my favorite reads, and has one of my favorite plots. But, like kill001 said, the anime cut way to much from the plot. If they are going ahead with a second season, they need to slow stuff down, to the point that bleach has it, except without the filler crap.
omg I CUM HARD ! I WANT THIS SHIT SO BAD

I'm happy if we start getting new goddamn chapters. Though an anime is fine too.

I hope it's not horribly animated like the first one. The original had zero budget and looked like ass. If it looks like that trailer, it'd be sex. Otherwise I'll just stick to the manga. And they'd better bring back Susumu Hirasawa for the soundtrack.

[B]EDIT:[/B] They're making more trailers: [url]http://www.younganimal.com/berserk/cm/index.html[/url]
All the trailers ive seen so far seems to point at this being a complete overhaul of the original anime, im sure those who have read the manga can agree that its not a second season (unless they are remaking the story)

Berserk is awesome and everything, it's my favourite manga/anime (I don't really like much to begin with), but I just wish he'd end it already. I'm starting to get bored and I'm up to volume 29. I want a conclusion.
