Guts, an immensely strong sword-for-hire, has little direction in his life, simply fighting one battle after the next. However, this all changes suddenly when he meets and is bested by Griffith, a beautiful and charismatic young man who leads the Band of the Hawk mercenary army. After Guts joins the Band and the relationship between the two men begins to blossom, Casca, the tough, lone swordswoman in the Band of the Hawk, struggles to accept Guts and the influence he has on the world around her. While the two men begin to fight together, Griffith continues to rise to power, all seemingly in order to reach his mysterious, prophesied goals. What lengths will Guts and Griffith go to in order to reach these goals, and where will fate take the two men?

A good stepping stone for a trilogy that stands up to the hype

Jessica Patterson

Definitely something to watch by yourself. Worth watching nonetheless

It’s a different style of animation that may take some getting used to, but it’s nonetheless a solid, faithful, movie.

I still can't forget about it, and I'm not sure if I want to forget.

It’s slow, however, it’s necessary for setting up the plot. It overuses that ugly-ass cgi animation that’s trendy in anime.

A good realization of the manga. The CGI is great in some scenes, but terrible in others.

A great watch. Better production quality than the dog series and it is one of the be animated movies ever.

one of the best manga franchises ever and this trilogy of movies does an incredible job of adapting it, highly recommend

It was my entry into Berserk. 3D CG ain't the best it could be much worse.

Isn’t the best adaptation but thankfully most of the important moments make the cut even if some don’t. The 3D animation can be distracting.
