Hooray!

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

EPIC!!!!!!!

Oh. My. Gods.

:D

Two teaser trailers were released recently:

Note that
1) Aspect ratio is 2.35:1, the one used in cinemas
2) Zodd in the second trailer looks about the same as the screen cap seen in http://www.animenation.net/blog/2009/08/18/ask-john-is-new-berserk-anime-in-production/

It seems that it's been in production for a while now, a couple years perhaps. Whether it's a new series or a movie, either way it looks really high quality.

So much joy that it hurts.

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

Hell, it's about time!

[mcz117chief]

I have watched this anime atleast a hundred times over, read the manga books and was always craving for more. All I can say is w00t :)

[fwoop]

It's a movie, due for release in 2011. Not sure whether this will be followed by other animations etc. There's an official announcement coming on Jan 8th which will hopefully  clear things up.

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

Keep us updated! I don't have access to any good anime information sources :/

[mcz117chief]

Any news ?
I wonder if it will only span the "Golden age" story arc, or if it will continue beyond.
Anyway, found this fan movie http://www.vimeo.com/2740962, you might have already seen it, but what the hell :)

[fwoop]

It's fairly confusing, unfortunately. The "reveal" that was supposed to come on 8th either never came or was just "yeh we're makin a movie".

The official news comes from:
http://www.younganimal.com/berserk/
http://twitter.com/berserk_project

Occasionally you might get some leaked information elsewhere, but so far it's only been those few screenshots leaked last year, and the magazine scans recently that got leaked early.

I've read all sorts of conflicting "reports" on how many movies / what material they will cover, so I have no idea. I've seen poorly attributed quotes of how they intend to film the whole saga, backed by claims that Miura can finish up the manga within a couple years (lol yeh right). I wouldn't take any specifics seriously right now, it's still largely within the realm of rumour bullshit.

At the very least we're getting a golden age movie in 2011 animated by one of the very top animation groups in Japan, Studio 4°C http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_4%C2%B0C.

[mcz117chief]

Thx for the report :) And indeed 4°C are one of the best, soo looking forward to it even more now that i know they are working on it

The February issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Newtype magazine is announcing on Saturday that the previously revealed Berserk project will begin with a theatrical film that will open in 2011. According to Newtype, the 2011 film will be the first part of a project that will adapt the entire story from Kentarou Miura's manga.

So, it is now official -- there will be a movie this year, but as a pilot to filming the manga in it's entirety!

[mcz117chief]

Thx Kornel :) Hope this movie will hit the Theatres worldwide, including Czech Republic

Official date for the first movie is January 2012, probably just covers the Golden Age arc, but if it's successful it'll likely spawn sequels covering later arcs thereafter.
