We learned with the twelfth episode of Berserk about ten days ago that the second cour for it has been scheduled for a spring 2017 broadcast debut. NBC Universal Japan is now doing a little bit of a prod for it on their channel as well as the fifteen-second spot for it has landed to nudge that coming event.
The series was directed by shin Itagaki based on the series composition from Makoto Fukami and Takashi Yamashita. Hisashi Abe worked on the character designs while LIDENFILMS handled production with studios GEMBA nad Millepensee. The cast has the main characters largely returning from the theatrical films and includes Hiroaki Iwanaga as Guts, Kaoru Mizuhara as Puck, Yoko Hikasa as Farnese, Kazuyuki Okitsu as Serpico, Hiro Shimono as Isidro, Hiroki Yasumoto as Azan, Toa Yukinari as Casca, Takahiro Sakurai as Griffith, Akio Ootsuka as The Skull Knight and Unshou Ishizuka as the Narrator.
A TV series was produced back in 1997, which was released by Media Blasters in North America, and a trilogy of films recounting much of the material from that arrived in the last few years as released by Viz Media.
Property concept: A brave young warrior named Guts fights for his fortune as a mercenary on the front lines. A fated encounter unites Guts with the charismatic and deadly young man named Griffith. Leading the rogue soldiers known as the Band of the Hawk, Griffith wields his formidable force like no other. Driven by a quest for status, the Hawks exert military and social prowess the likes of which have never been seen before. The armies of Midland will quake with fear as Griffith and Guts set off on a path that will bring the world to its knees.
