Q:  What is Berserk?
A:  Berserk is a manga series that is still in progress, as well as an Anime serie that ended in 1998. The manga series are being serialized bi-monthly by Young Animal magazine. The animation is an adaptation of the manga series "Berserk". Though both are "Berserk", there are quite a few differences between the two. (As for example, alternations of minor story line, and omissions of certain events/characters. Due to the fact that the series were aired in Japan, many violent and nudity scenes were censored. Nonetherless Berserk Anime stands as one of the best Animes available to date.
