BERSERK: THE Golden Age Arc film trilogy was produced in Japan by the legendary Studio 4ºC, and is based on the bestselling medieval dark fantasy manga (graphic novel) series created by Kentarou Miura.
BERSERK:
THE GOLDEN AGE ARC I – THE EGG OF THE KING (rated TV-MA) follows lone
mercenary Guts as he travels the land where a hundred-year-old war is
taking place. His ferocity and ability to take down enemies attracts the
attention of Griffith, leader of the mercenary group “The Band of the
Hawk,” and Guts is recruited to the unit. Thanks to their continued
victories on the battlefield, the bond between Guts and Griffith
deepens, but despite all their success, Guts begins to question his
reasons for fighting for Griffith’s dream. Unknown to Guts, this
unyielding dream is about to bestow a horrible fate on them both.
BERSERK: THE GOLDEN AGE ARC II - THE BATTLE FOR DOLDREY (rated TV-MA) picks up
the story as Guts mistakenly believed, for three years, that his
mission was to pursue Griffith’s dream together with him. But in order
to become Griffith’s equal and truly be called his friend, Guts realizes
he will have to leave the Band of the Hawk. At the same time, a bloody
battle to capture the impenetrable Fortress of Doldrey from the Empire
of Chuder is about to begin. The Band of the Hawk will face an army
30,000 strong!
The saga reaches its stunning finale in BERSERK: THE GOLDEN AGE ARC III - THE ADVENT (rated TV-MA). It’s
been a year since Griffith’s imprisonment by the Kingdom of Midland.
Once praised as the saviors of the Midland, The Band of the Hawk has
been on the run and is on the brink of breaking apart. Much to
everyone’s surprise, Guts returns to the Hawks and the search for
Griffith begins!
The
BERSERK manga series, by Kentarou Miura, debuted in Japan in 1989 and
quickly drew a devoted following, going on to sell more than 30 million
copies worldwide. The series, still ongoing in Japan, has been published
in North America and the UK, as well as in France, Germany, Italy,
Spain, Russia, and Latin America. The BERSERK manga has also inspired a
popular anime television series and has spawned a variety of related
video games, collectable figures and toys, and music soundtracks, as
well as the current BERSERK: THE GOLDEN AGE ARC film trilogy.
