Crunchyroll is continuing to bring out more of the opening and closing sequences of shows they’re working with and another is the two-cour series Berserk. They’ve now added the material for the second cour of this rune with the opening song “Sacrifice” by 9mm Parabellum Bullet and the ending song “Issai wa Monogatari” by Yoshino Nanjo ft Nagi Yanagi, both of which fits the show pretty well. Check ’em out below!
Check out our review of the first season.

A TV series was produced back in 1997, which was released by Media Blasters in North America, and a trilogy of films recounting much of the material from that arrived in the last few years as released by Viz Media.
Property Concept: A brave young warrior named Guts fights for his fortune as a mercenary on the front lines. A fated encounter unites Guts with the charismatic and deadly young man named Griffith. Leading the rogue soldiers known as the Band of the Hawk, Griffith wields his formidable force like no other. Driven by a quest for status, the Hawks exert military and social prowess the likes of which have never been seen before. The armies of Midland will quake with fear as Griffith and Guts set off on a path that will bring the world to its knees.
