The Berserk: The Golden Age film trilogy is one that worked pretty well for me when it came out and we’ve seen it get some streaming love over the last few years. That’s now expanding in a kind of odd way as Funimation has announced that they’re bringing out the second and third films on August 14th, 2020 for streaming, presumably in bilingual form. The first film was not listed at all.
Plot concept: He trusts no one; only his sword. He doesn’t have a place to call home. The lone mercenary Guts travels the land, where a hundred-year-old war is taking place. His ferocity and ability to take down enemies attracts the attention of Griffith, the leader of a group of mercenaries called “The Band of the Hawk” who wants to recruit Guts for his band.
As the Band of the Hawk fight together and their bond as a unit is strengthened, Griffith and Guts’ bond deepens even more. Thanks to their continued success on the battlefield, Griffith achieves the first step in fulfilling his goal: his band of mercenaries becomes a full-fledged army within the Midland Kingdom. But despite all their success, Guts begins to question his reasons for fighting for Griffith’s dream. Unknown to Guts, this unyielding dream is about to bestow a horrible fate on them both.
