![]() The magic of the pendant causes an eclipse, which brings to life a couple of demons. He comes across an artifact: a pendant that looks a little like a heart, and somehow he activates powers within it, and then everything goes to hell, quite literally. Naturally it’s better if you’ve watched the first two Berserk films, or at least are familiar with the manga or anime before watching this one, but if this is your first experience with Berserk then it’s enough to know that the plot involves a unit of warriors in a medieval-style world who rescue one of their own a decrepit, withered husk that is barely alive and has had all his critical tendons severed, leaving him barely capable of moving at all. What’s so fascinating about it is that this extreme imagery is completely within context and the anime would be a lesser work were it not for it. ![]() Berserk’s concluding chapter is horrific, with some of the most sickening gore and sexual violence imagery that you’ll ever see in a mainstream anime work.
