Summary(manga):
Gattsu, known as the Black Swordsman, seeks sanctuary from the
demonic forces that persue himself and his woman, and also
vengeance against the man who branded him as an unholy sacrifice.
Aided only by his titanic strength, skill and sword, Gattsu must
struggle against his bleak destiny, all the while fighting with a
rage that might strip him of his humanity. Berserk is a dark and
brooding story of outrageous swordplay and ominous fate, in the
theme of Shakespeare's MacBeth.
Guts, the Black Swordsman, wanders around in a medieval world
slaying demons as they are attracted to a demonic mark on his neck.
To his help he has inhuman strength gained from a harsh childhood
lived with mercenaries, a gigantic sword, an iron prosthetic left
hand and the elf Puck. In his search for vengeance on the one who
gave him the mark, he meets many interesting persons and creatures,
whom all is affected by him in one way or another.

Comments: The anime pales in comparison to its
manga counterpart but serves as a good introduction to the world of
Berserk. After finishing the anime u just had the urge to read the
manga to find out what happened after the eclipse.
