Berserk 2

Berserk 2, officially titled the 2017 television series, was produced by Millepensee and GEMBA as a follow-up to the 2016 adaptation of Kentaro Miura’s seminal dark fantasy manga. The project sought to adapt the Conviction Arc and portions of the Millennium Falcon Arc, aiming to bring more of the source material’s expansive narrative to a serialized television format. It continued the studio's use of a hybrid 2D and 3D cel-shaded animation style intended to replicate the intricate, detailed pen work found in Miura's original illustrations.

The reception to the series was notably polarized, primarily centering on its aesthetic departure from the highly regarded 1997 anime adaptation. Critics and fans frequently debated the efficacy of the computer-generated imagery in capturing the visceral, gritty atmosphere of the manga. Despite the intense scrutiny surrounding its visual presentation and technical execution, the series remains a significant chapter in the broader effort to translate Miura's complex epic into a long-form animated medium.
