    4.0 out of 5 stars Great value for money? Yes. Remastered? No., February 14, 2009

    This review is from: Berserk Complete (DVD)
    I've uploaded some scans of the discs and cover/case onto Imageshack (I can't upload onto Amazon yet for some reason). Why? Because the disc artwork is, quite frankly, wonderful.

    Discs 1 & 2: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8559/b1cz3.jpg

    Now, as you can probably see by viewing my scan of the cover/case, the six discs are fitted in a standard sized DVD case. I never thought I'd live to see six discs fitted in a case so small but I have. Four of the discs go on the left and right sides of the case and the remaining two go on a piece of plastic that was fitted onto the spine of the case. The discs fit in nicely but it doesn't seem like much of a box set. At least the cover looks vastly superior to the cover of the old budget Berserk set...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Berserk rocks, and the new set has better audio/video (see note), March 22, 2009
    This review is from: Berserk Complete (DVD)
    Just to give people who are unfamiliar with Berserk an idea of what to expect, I like to compare it to Lord of the Rings. Both series have a medieval setting (knights, castles, etc.), supernatural elements, endearing characters, and a great story. Here is a quick introduction to the story: A long war is being waged between the nations of Midland and Chuder. A mercenary named Guts is forced to join the Band of the Hawk, a seemingly invincible army of young mercenaries that has allied itself with Midland. The Hawks are led by Griffith, a brilliant military strategist who wears a necklace with a strange egg-shaped trinket. Griffith values Guts, but the female commander Casca wishes that he had never joined the Hawks.

    I like the structure of Berserk. There is an emphasis on continuity. Every episode picks up right where the last one left off, and themes such as friendship, identity, and ambition are revisited throughout the series. The dynamic between the three main... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Worth a first buy, but not a re-buy, March 11, 2009
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Berserk Complete (DVD)
    This box set is a slight improvement on the previous releases, but only just.

    The image is supposedly progressive scan, though watching the "Box of War" version and this one back to back, I'm noticing no difference, even during "fast" scenes. This series may just be too slow moving for progressive to matter. The colors are slightly brighter. The amount of grain seems to be the same, though its slightly more noticeable due to the brighter colors. I have noticed some spots/specs in the new release that I don't see in the old, though its difficult to tell if they are all additional spots or just a different pattern. The image is supposed to be sharper also, but I noticed no difference here. The new release has not altered the image jitter problem.

    Both soundtracks have fixed numerous minor audio artifacts. The English soundtrack is supposed to be synced up a bit better, but I haven't found a problem spot in the old release to match against. All discs... Read more
