October is not only spooky month, but it’s also the 25th
anniversary of the very first Berserk anime
adaptation! So what better time to discuss this dark fantasy
horror series with my good friend and
huge Berserk fan, Mayra, who you might
remember from my episode on the oral history of anime penpaling!
For the first part of the episode, we go over the history
of Berserk, some of it’s main characters, celebrating
Kentaro Miura’s original manga, and why it’s such a notable &
important work. Then the second half is Spoiler Talk, for all of
you who’re already familiar with the series! Please note that
since Berserk IS a dark fantasy that contains a
LOT of heavy topics, we do discuss things like dealing with
trauma, etc. in the Spoiler half of the podcast.
