Berserk : L'Âge d'or III - L'Avent

"Berzerk: The Golden Age Arc I-III" = 7.9

It's not often that I find myself rooting for a man to slaughter people, for any reason. And yet, I never stopped rooting for Guts once. The Berzerk films sport a thoroughly engaging dark fantasy narrative, supported by entertaining and well animated action scenes. This series effortlessly glides between very funny and very serious, whichever it's trying to be at any given moment. The only real problem I have is that the dialogue can be really cheesy, clunky, if not simply detached from reality. Chalk it up to the translation, I suppose. Regardless, this film series is the sort of thing I show to people who think anime is silly, nothing but Dragon Balls and Narootoes, and it rarely fails to open minds to this huge world of animated cinema.
