Berserk

actually, they painted themselves into a somewhat sticky corner, storyline-wise...

At the end of the anime, Gutts is in a really, REALLY bad situation. And it just kinda stops.

If they continued, they'd have to introduce a character that they left out of the anime entirely, but that's an important character and the reason that Gutts lived through the situation at all. But they didn't ever introduce that character, so that deviation trapped the anime in a "can't logically progress" state.

I've heard talk of what they _could_ do ... but if any more Berserk anime is made, it'll probably be OVA's of specific plot arcs. . It couldn't be aired on TV at all, most likely, because that manga material is WAY darker and WAY gorier than the series arc.

There's also a new game coming out, for PS2. I've seen the Korean trailer, and it's sweet-ass looking. But I don't think there's any plans to bring that to the US either... which is totally lame, because it looks like a really great game.

In any case, the manga is rockin', and not that hard to find. Hell, you can buy it in US bookstores these days (at least the first 5 volumes of it -- vol 6 hits stores on the 12th of Jan). But check the manga out, and see if you honestly believe that that stuff could be animated and aired on TV. I don't.

there wont be another season or anything. i dont think it matters much since the part that they did show was the best part of the manga anyways.
