Is Berserk 42 out?
Continue the legacy when Berserk Volume 42 arrives in bookstores on March 18, 2025 and in comic shops on March 19, 2025. This show continues the story of Berserk and is definitely for people who’ve seen the original 1997 animated series. It’s dark, grim and surprisingly funny for such as dystopian tale.In a recent Twitter post, Berserk artist Kouji Mori confirmed that Berserk will be returning some time in 2026, noting, This year as well, I’ll be tackling my own serialization and the supervision of Berserk with full effort. As always, I won’t be drawing Guts in the main story!In all seriousness, Berserk 2016/17 continues the story after the 1997 anime, but the CGI is absolutely atrocious. Also, some things might not make sense as the 1997 anime cut out a very major character and also didn’t cover the very end of the Golden Age arc .
Will Berserk continue in 2026?
Kouji Mori announced that the iconic Berserk manga will resume in 2026, ending months of uncertainty. The chapters follow story outlines left by Kentaro Miura, with Studio Gaga and Mori overseeing the continuation of Guts’ journey. Should I ignore Berserk 1997? The 1997 Berserk anime exists in its own timeline, separate from The Golden Age Arc and the 2016 anime. This means you can skip the 1997 series and let The Golden Age Arc serve as your introduction to the Berserk saga.Berserk was produced by Nippon Television and VAP, animated by Oriental Light and Magic and directed by Naohito Takahashi. It was broadcast for 25 episodes on Nippon TV from October 1997 to April 1998.Without question, those looking to watch a Berserk anime before or after reading the manga would be wise to stick to the 1997 series. Berserk 1997 does a more than decent job at bringing the story to life, and its animation quality has aged particularly well.
