Berserk: The Golden Age Arc delivers a heartwarming tribute to the late creator of the manga in its season finale of the Memorial Edition, closing the curtains on the year 2022 on a high note.

Like any anime out there that doesn’t begin with its usual opening credits can only mean one thing, this specific episode is about to be epic on a massive scale and that’s exactly what was executed in this finale. The episode begins immediately from where we last…

I was so excited when I read about who would be at the helm of this film, as it’s from the directors that have worked on giants like “The Lion King”, “Oliver and Company” and so much more, movies that I grew up watching…
