Like EVANGELION, this new BERSERK: THE GOLDEN AGE ARC film trilogy remasters a popular anime for modern audiences. The movies are a remake of the Madman best-selling BERSERK anime series, and is based on the best selling manga which has sold over 30 million copies sold worldwide plus video games, figures and music soundtracks. BERSERK: THE GOLDEN AGE ARC features cutting edge animation by the masterful Studio 4C (HALO LEGENDS, ANIMATRIX, KILL BILL VOL 1, SPRIGGAN). He trusts nothing but his own sword. He has no place to call home. The lone mercenary Guts travels a land ravaged by a hundred-year war. Moving from battlefield to battlefield, his skill and ferocity eventually attract the attention of Griffith, the leader of a group of mercenaries called The Band of the Hawk. Desiring Guts`s power to help him achieve his goals, Griffith succeeds in recruiting the distrustful Guts by challenging him to a duel and defeating him. As the Band of the Hawk fight together and their bond as a unit grows stronger, Griffith and Guts`s bond deepens as well. With their continued success on the battlefield, Griffith achieves the first step toward his lofty goals: his band of mercenaries becomes recognised as a full-fledged army within the Midland Kingdom. Despite all their success, Guts begins to question his reasons for fighting for Griffith`s dream, which, unbeknownst to Guts, is destined to bestow a monstrous fate on them both.
