Overview

Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition is a 2022 Japanese anime television series that serves as a remastered and re-edited version of the Berserk: Golden Age Arc film trilogy (2012–2013). Produced by Studio 4°C and released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the first film, the Memorial Edition aired from October to December 2022, spanning 13 episodes. Contents & Presentation

The series adapts the Golden Age Arc — the second major story arc of Kentaro Miura’s legendary manga Berserk — depicting the tragic rise and fall of the mercenary commander Griffith, his Band of the Hawk, and the lone swordsman Guts, who becomes his closest friend and eventual nemesis.

Criticisms: Is it Perfect?

No. The Memorial Edition is still bound by the geometry of the 2012 films. Some background characters remain stiff mannequins. The color palette is overly bright compared to the grim charcoal of the manga. Also, purists will note that the "Lost Children" arc is still missing (though that occurs after the Golden Age chronologically).

However, these are nitpicks. Given the unfortunate passing of Kentaro Miura in 2021, the Memorial Edition serves as a love letter and a celebration of his life’s work.
