Additionally, Studio Eclypse is adapting the fan-made manga AoTnoRequiem into an anime titled “Attack on Titan: Requiem,” slated for release in Fall 2024.
Berserk manga has a rich history of adaptations, including anime series, movies, and video games. The first anime in 1997 covered the Golden Age arc but faced criticism for its inconsistent animation quality.
In 2012, Studio 4°C released a movie trilogy, “Berserk: The Golden Age Arc,” with improved visuals but received backlash for its use of CGI animation. The 2016-2017 anime series by GEMBA and Millepensee also faced criticism for its heavy reliance on CGI and rushed pacing.un
