"Berserk" – discussion of the series (entry into this topic is not recommended for individuals under 14).

"Berserk" gave me mixed feelings. On the one hand, it's a great anime with merits that have already been mentioned; on the other hand, it feels like the screenwriters, engrossed in Guts' peaceful life, forgot about the demons' arrival and only remembered it around the 20th episode (I'm not sure exactly – it's been a while since I watched it). After that, all the characters suddenly start behaving differently, not like they did in the previous episodes, and the plot becomes completely nonsensical. In particular, I'm curious how Guts managed to escape from the demons at the festival, and considering his situation at the end of the last episode (lying under a demon, his left arm cut off, a demon's tentacles stuck in his right eye, and surrounded by a huge number of demons, and he's unarmed), this question becomes even more interesting. As for the manga, it wasn't written based on the anime; the anime was made based on the manga. I haven't read it myself, but I was told that the anime covers about 1/10 of the manga, and in the rest of the manga, Guts just fights demons, and there's no further plot development. Also, according to the manga, if Casca survives (the person who told me this hadn't finished reading it yet – he had about 1/10 of the manga left), she's not with Guts but with Griffith, so the game also has some inaccuracies.
