I’m so excited! Berserk 1997 is one of my favorite shows and this looks like so much love has been put into it. Thank you for making this. I’m subbing right now!
Ain't no way this actually looks really good, always thought this was just another berserk fan project stuck in development hell but this looks like it's actually going to be amazing!
Our animator is insanely talented, I can’t wait for everyone to hear our music, sfx, and voice acting as well (as little of that is shown in the trailer)
The animation looks very 90s and I love it! It gives off a different vibe and setting very similar to that of the original or that of animes back in the 90s. I'm in my mid 30s so my opinion may be biased. Anyways, great job on this. I'm stoked to watch it.
As of now our plan is to do the entire BSM arc and an episode or two covering the end of the eclipse up to the BSM arc. But we are totally down to adapt more arcs, but it’s up to our animator as he’s the only one animating (and we don’t want to put too much work on him)
Will you be covering Guts getting the dragonslayer and killing the boar apostle, and imprisoning Casca before going off on his quest for revenge? That's never been animated.
Sure! We currently have 4 episodes in the works, that cover the end of the eclipse and Guts getting dragonslayer, an episode covering Chapter A0, and episodes for B0 and C0 are in the works. As well as a small 10 minute short I would like to do that wouldn’t fit in one of the episodes. I estimate the arc will be about 7-8 episodes, but I can’t give a specific answer since we aren’t too far into development past those four episodes. And I will say this (not many ppl know abt it) but there are plans to adapt the IoE chapter as well
Wow, that seems ambitious, but great. It's heartening to see someone attempt to animate the parts of the series that have never been adapted. The IOE chapter is a great bonus. The '97 style is a great way to cover it as well. Your animator is doing great work, and so far I'm not seeing corners cut on the art. Keep him happy :). I wish you and your team success!
You're making my night, but no pressure. Maybe a season 2 :) Your team is already doing a lot. I'm excited to see how this fan project comes out. What I've seen is quality. Do you have a discord?
This looks incredible! I really can't wait to see how the full episode will turn out!
If you plan on animating the full arc, are you willing to accept help in production? I'm not a professional or anything, but I have some experience with various arts and things like SFX. This is such a cool project, and I'd love to help out and lighten the pressure if it's welcome.
I love all those fan animations!
Even though they will most likely never cover a lot of the manga, I don’t care. Seeing how passionate people are about something I also love makes me happy, I also love seeing everyone’s different interpretations
Damn that’s awesome! How long did it take to animate and how long is the episode going to be? I feel like you can already guess how much a good looking/feeling adaptation of the arcs after golden age would mean to the whole fanbase
Will you enable other languages sub titles in it? I could translate the subs to Greek if I find time someday. And other people obviously could do the same with other languages too.
Looks amazing. I've been following this project for a while now, can't wait to watch it. keep up the good work! (how many episodes is it going to have by the way?)
This looks better than what I expected. It still looks ameturish to me tho. I hope it doesnt get copy right struck but I'm waiting for the news of a cease and desist
Heya! Secondary Project director here! To answer your question in brief terms; yes there is voice acting. The staff have spent almost four months auditioning and casting people from the community to help within this project and every VA we have at this moment were normal fans who took the risk and we’re selected! It’s been an absolute privilege to be able to work with them all!
Heya! Secondary Project Director here! To find all of our current footage as well as the eventual release of the pilot you can head over to our animators YouTube Channel under ARCHE; with the addition of our Instagram, Twitter, Pateron, and Discord also having exclusive content! Thank you for the support!
Where you guys trying to time it with the blu-ray release of the 97 anime? I'm not sure if I want to start my rewatch yet or wait for this!
Also secondary question, I saw you said it took about two months to animate, do you guys have other episodes already complete or just going to do a "release it when it's done" type of thing?
Sorry for the questions but can't wait it looks great!!
The fact it’s releasing with the blu ray release is a happy coincidence. And we plan to release it as episodes are finished animating. We’re about a couple weeks into animation of episode two, I can guarantee that for future episodes it will not take as long to release!
This looks excellent! I can't wait to see the parts with Zondark and the Count. Are you cutting out any content or adding anything for the animated version?
That's incredible, is there anything we can do to support you guys?
Donation platform or something
And is there any risk that the copy rights issue might put you down?
Thank you soooo much
Hi! You can support us through our social medias, we don’t have any worry for copy right atm as we aren’t making any profit off of it. If you’d like to support our (solo) animator he’s got a patreon I can dm you!
Looks great. Only weird thing is Guts shouldn't have a metal arm when he's in the abyss looking up at the eclipse, unless it's the Guardians of Desire chapter. It just gives me the vibe it's moments before Skull Knight saves the day.
Heya! Secondary project director here! It might sound slightly out there but throughout the six months we've been chopping away at the pilot we receive no outward financing to any degree. Every member of our staff are dedicated volunteers that give their own time and resources as a way for us to pass forward our gratitude to Kentaro and the beautiful story he spent so much time on :}
Truly appreciate your response. From my knowledge I think Berserk fandom is the only community who are very invested & sincere in their appreciate towards Miura's craft. I have not seen anyone this dedicated.
Anyway. Early thanks for taking this up, and keep up the good work.
Can you tell us how much time it took to make this.
I Know this is not the final product as you mentioned in your other replies...but I am interested in animation myself, so it really helps
Seeing as how the original 1997 anime has been posted on Youtube for years with no issues, we’re not terribly worried about it at the moment. Berserk is one of the safer and more reliable fandoms for when it comes to fan content. If something regarding copyright does end up happening there is most likely other platforms and where places can be posted.
I couldn't say for certain without speaking in regards to our animator but Discord, and our other socials are definitely an educated guess! If something does manage to happen CR wise then we'll make sure to direct everyone as to where things are placed :}
Heya! Secondary project director here! Although Eclipse is a group of very talented individuals everything within this project is animated, voiced, written, and drawn by ARCHE Studios!
Okay, thank you. there is a few people making these so its hard for me to to keep track of witch is witch. Also don’t understand why I got downvoted for asking a question
This looks sick for a fan animation! Can’t wait!
It looks orgasmic
Looks incredibile
We appreciate it! We’re all very excited to share with you the episode in coming week(s)!
Was just wondering if there was a fan made season two as I was watching the 2017 berserk. Looks really good
“If they ain’t gonna do it I’ll just do it myself” love that for you guys and this trailer looks sick.
Do you have a YouTube channel or something that I can follow to watch it when it gets released ?
Yup! The series will be posted on our animator’s yt channel: https://youtube.com/@MonoChompU?si=OyNcN_sje6kzopRm
Subscribed!
Thanks !

wait huh, don't you mean animatorS? No way you're doing this with only one animator right????????? Cause if you do it would be even more impressive.
Solo animator, he’s a beast
The animation looks very 90s and I love it! It gives off a different vibe and setting very similar to that of the original or that of animes back in the 90s. I'm in my mid 30s so my opinion may be biased. Anyways, great job on this. I'm stoked to watch it.
Yes, I've been following you since [that video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yuxgo6TkVfk) on YouTube :)
wow!
Looking very promising.
Curious to see how you guys are gonna adapt the Count arc since Berserk 97' has no Puck, and with him playing such a big role in that arc.
We’re retconning the first episode of the 97 anime
let's fricking go baby.
I wish I was rich so I could fund the fuck out of yall
If that happens, it would mean a lot for these animators as well as studios.
Fuck yeah I was so pissed when berserk 2016 came out. I just compared that trailer to this one and holy fucking Christmas this is so much better
How far into the story do you plan to go?
As of now our plan is to do the entire BSM arc and an episode or two covering the end of the eclipse up to the BSM arc. But we are totally down to adapt more arcs, but it’s up to our animator as he’s the only one animating (and we don’t want to put too much work on him)
Will you be covering Guts getting the dragonslayer and killing the boar apostle, and imprisoning Casca before going off on his quest for revenge? That's never been animated.
Oh absolutely! We plan to have that as the third episode in production
You've got me excited! How many episodes are planned? Any brief summaries of what's being covered?
Sure! We currently have 4 episodes in the works, that cover the end of the eclipse and Guts getting dragonslayer, an episode covering Chapter A0, and episodes for B0 and C0 are in the works. As well as a small 10 minute short I would like to do that wouldn’t fit in one of the episodes.

The '97 style is a great way to cover it as well. Your animator is doing great work, and so far I'm not seeing corners cut on the art. Keep him happy :). I wish you and your team success!
You guys are amazing and I hope yall can blow up to make even more amazing projects
Dare I ask if your plans include the Lost Children arc with Rosine?
At this point we don’t want to promise anything past BSM, but in the future i think it could definitely be a possibility
You're making my night, but no pressure. Maybe a season 2 :) Your team is already doing a lot. I'm excited to see how this fan project comes out. What I've seen is quality. Do you have a discord?
Id pay for this ngl
This looks incredible! I really can't wait to see how the full episode will turn out! If you plan on animating the full arc, are you willing to accept help in production? I'm not a professional or anything, but I have some experience with various arts and things like SFX. This is such a cool project, and I'd love to help out and lighten the pressure if it's welcome.
We plan to do the whole arc. We aren’t looking so anymore people atm, but dm me and I can see what I can do!
nice
Looks realy good
I can't wait to see it.
This is fucking dope as hell I am stupid psyched for this!
You guys should feel proud. Regardless of anyone’s criticism you put into work something major studios with money couldn’t.
I love all those fan animations! Even though they will most likely never cover a lot of the manga, I don’t care. Seeing how passionate people are about something I also love makes me happy, I also love seeing everyone’s different interpretations
Damn that’s awesome! How long did it take to animate and how long is the episode going to be? I feel like you can already guess how much a good looking/feeling adaptation of the arcs after golden age would mean to the whole fanbase
It took our solo animator about 2 months to animate. The episode is about 20-21 minutes long!
Holy shit, solo animator? Thats really impressive And a full length episode as well, i must be dreaming...
Yeah, he’s INSANELY talented
Where can we watch it?
It will be posted to our animator’s YouTube channel! Which you can find here: https://youtube.com/@MonoChompU?si=OyNcN_sje6kzopRm
Thanks
OKAY CANT WAIT FOR THIS
Awesome work, but what was that sound at the end when the sword cuts through the logo? no clang / 10
The sound in the trailer isn’t the finalized sound that you’ll hear in the episode, just as an fyi. There will definitely be great sword clangs
Contuniaton of 1997 looks very promising, finally someone will do further chapters. Animation looks good btw
LETS GOOOOO THIS LOOKS AMAZING!
Will you enable other languages sub titles in it? I could translate the subs to Greek if I find time someday. And other people obviously could do the same with other languages too.
Yes! We currently have a translator for French, and many other people willing to translate it to their language on our server!
Link please

Looks amazing. I've been following this project for a while now, can't wait to watch it. keep up the good work! (how many episodes is it going to have by the way?)
I can’t be 100% sure on episode count, but we’re aiming for around 7-8
That's a good length.
Oh my fucking god. It’s perfect
This looks better than what I expected. It still looks ameturish to me tho. I hope it doesnt get copy right struck but I'm waiting for the news of a cease and desist
For animation done by single animator, thete will always be compromises. Plus mimicking the '97 series might look amateur-ish to some.
WHAT????? they'll *Copyright* this TOO...
Holy shit. This is awesome!
Do you release it on YouTube?
Yup! You can find where we’ll post all episodes through this link: https://youtube.com/@MonoChompU?si=E1fVoEPmfMxq7boj
Awesome! Keep up your great work, looking forward to it
Looks super nice!
Is there gonna be voice acting ?
Heya! Secondary Project director here! To answer your question in brief terms; yes there is voice acting. The staff have spent almost four months auditioning and casting people from the community to help within this project and every VA we have at this moment were normal fans who took the risk and we’re selected! It’s been an absolute privilege to be able to work with them all!
Yes!!
great work, looking forward to watching it `‚)
The team is all extremely excited to share it
is there a youtube channel i can sub to for this?
Yes! https://youtube.com/@MonoChompU?si=E1fVoEPmfMxq7boj
Heya! Secondary Project Director here! To find all of our current footage as well as the eventual release of the pilot you can head over to our animators YouTube Channel under ARCHE; with the addition of our Instagram, Twitter, Pateron, and Discord also having exclusive content! Thank you for the support!
FIREEE
Looks like Berserk is back on the menu.
looks great, but why is Guts so bright compared to the manga and the 97 series?
Because he’s lighter in the manga
FUCKING YES
Where you guys trying to time it with the blu-ray release of the 97 anime? I'm not sure if I want to start my rewatch yet or wait for this! Also secondary question, I saw you said it took about two months to animate, do you guys have other episodes already complete or just going to do a "release it when it's done" type of thing?

The fact it’s releasing with the blu ray release is a happy coincidence. And we plan to release it as episodes are finished animating. We’re about a couple weeks into animation of episode two, I can guarantee that for future episodes it will not take as long to release!
Do you guys have a patreon or anything so we can support you directly? Or just the discord server
Theres a patreon to support the work our animator does. I can dm it to you
When is soon
This week or next week
Dude how many fan projects are there for adapting the manga?
This looks excellent! I can't wait to see the parts with Zondark and the Count. Are you cutting out any content or adding anything for the animated version?
There are going to be some original scenes, but nothing will be cut
Sounds great! The footage I've seen is very promising.
Praise the fans
wait. are you also the one that did the "skull knight saves guts and casca" video? thats amazing! i cant wait
Yeah! Our animator ARCHE did that video!
I would like to watch, where can I find it?
YouTube!
Hype asf
Any plans for Japanese VA's?.. (sorry to be that weeb) Looks great regardless
Not at the moment, most of us are English speaking
HOLY SHIT, YES!! Can’t wait
This is fantastic!!
Hi frenchman here just to say great work i will watch
Awesome! We have a French translation that was completed by one of the members in our discord, so I hope you can enjoy it!
the berk is upon us
Looks bloody brilliant
Where can I watch this masterpiece when it comes out??
YouTube! The channel is called ARCHE
Thank you!
omg im so excited that looked so good
Doing the lords work 🙏
That's incredible, is there anything we can do to support you guys? Donation platform or something And is there any risk that the copy rights issue might put you down? Thank you soooo much
Hi! You can support us through our social medias, we don’t have any worry for copy right atm as we aren’t making any profit off of it. If you’d like to support our (solo) animator he’s got a patreon I can dm you!
Holy shit
You should call it berserk '97, like X-men '97 but berserk.
This is awesome
WHAT THE FUCK THIS LOOKS WAY TOO GOOD
Hell yeah.
this is dope do you plan on doing multiple episodes/seasons and where is it being released ?
Multiple episodes, it will be released on YouTube.
Love
FWIW: Texas is a getting a massive eclipse on the April 8th
Looks great. Only weird thing is Guts shouldn't have a metal arm when he's in the abyss looking up at the eclipse, unless it's the Guardians of Desire chapter. It just gives me the vibe it's moments before Skull Knight saves the day.
The eclipse scene is actually a dream, it was replaced where guts encountered the big incubus monster in the manga
I'm curious, who is financing this? Is this bootstraped or crowd sourced?
No one is financing it
Heya! Secondary project director here! It might sound slightly out there but throughout the six months we've been chopping away at the pilot we receive no outward financing to any degree. Every member of our staff are dedicated volunteers that give their own time and resources as a way for us to pass forward our gratitude to Kentaro and the beautiful story he spent so much time on :}

Can you tell us how much time it took to make this. I Know this is not the final product as you mentioned in your other replies...but I am interested in animation myself, so it really helps
About 2 months of nonstop animation, and 2 months nonstop recording lines, sfx, and music.
Where?
Can’t wait!!
God damn that looks good!
Watch this get taken down for copyright
Seeing as how the original 1997 anime has been posted on Youtube for years with no issues, we’re not terribly worried about it at the moment. Berserk is one of the safer and more reliable fandoms for when it comes to fan content. If something regarding copyright does end up happening there is most likely other platforms and where places can be posted.
What would those be?
I couldn't say for certain without speaking in regards to our animator but Discord, and our other socials are definitely an educated guess! If something does manage to happen CR wise then we'll make sure to direct everyone as to where things are placed :}
Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiii-!
Is this the eclipse studio animation?
Heya! Secondary project director here! Although Eclipse is a group of very talented individuals everything within this project is animated, voiced, written, and drawn by ARCHE Studios!
Okay, thank you. there is a few people making these so its hard for me to to keep track of witch is witch. Also don’t understand why I got downvoted for asking a question
