Berserk starts with an edge in this episode. What I like most is how it captures the tone of this world. It also sets up the mysterious protagonist well; the master knows him, and we can assume he has a past integral to the story. The people in the town live in fear of thugs who abuse their power, and even our supposed hero isn't exactly a beacon of hope. If you don't know anything about Berserk, just about everything in this episode is very vague; who is this Griffith, what are those beings the black swordsman kept seeing, why did the town lord turn into a giant snake demon, what's a Behelit? What is that brand! It keeps it vague enough to sell the mystery but tells you enough not to be frustrating. The episode has cool moments of action, cannon arm to face! I also love seeing how the black swordsman is just a sadistic as the demon; this show is not going to be a walk In The Park. This episode was a promising start to a series I am very excited to continue!

Dark and Heroic

If you love dark and twisted tv series than you are going to like this. I love these kind of anime it is a bit old you can understand by the style but i like the way it is. Ambient and art in this is amazing you can feel the gothic athmosphere. Our hero "Guts" makes us feel like he is a damaged hero who slays monsters. I can't wait to see what will happen in the next episodes.
