Berserk was amazing! It's a real shame it was cut off at 26 episodes without a conclusion. You're literally left with a cliffhanger. I have all the episodes as DVD-ripped fansubs. It was a great story, I really liked it, and the manga was pretty sweet too. I remember there was a Dreamcast game about it too, but it was set way after the events of the anime.
I'm a super hardcore fan. I like the anime more than the manga, but the manga continues the story (and gets pretty damned awesome as it goes along). Not sure I like where it started heading in the last volumes I read (which were around volume 25, I think), but... we'll see. I'm curious as ever. I love the fact that the guy is still working on it and that we're finally getting a real English release of it.
But yeah, I love watching people watch the last few episodes of the anime. When I first saw it, my jaw was on the fucking floor. I just couldn't believe what I was watching. I had expected something crazy, but nothing nearly as crazy as I got.
And the game was actually quite good. It was a fairly standard action thing gameplay-wise, but it had over an hour of cutscenes and an original story that wasn't in the anime or manga... and it wasn't a cut-rate story at all. That was actually how I got introduced to the series, because I realized that something that cool didn't just come out of nowhere. It had to have been based on something. I managed to find the first episode of the anime fansubbed and just instantly knew I had to get the rest of it.
