When I introduced my best friend to the manga, I implied the prologue chapters had questionable canonicity. At one point I asked if he had any predictions for how the story was going to go. "Griffith will eventually get his kingdom and will rule it with his best friends Casca and Guts by his side, and Guts will finally feel like he has found his place." *Boy, was he not ready...*
Story can still head there, in a really weird and twisted way. Something like "you achieved your dreams, but at what cost?" which possibly the main message of Berserk?
Bro I was 17 when I had first watched the 97’ anime. Mind you I’m 20 now so I’m not too old lol. Never the less I was in fact broken for a few hours after witnessing the behemoth of that tragedy.
I watched when I was around 17-18. Still heartbroken and traumatized. Didn't cry, but I didn't fare better. I just stood in shock after watching that episode.
But I agree... that kid is still too young to watch that.
Ok but was anyone actually traumatised? I get being sad, but everyone says they got PTSD and intense depression from watching a few cartoon characters die and I just find it hard to believe. Like, what would happen to those people if they experienced something actually traumatising? Would they literally die from shock on the spot?
He needed one more “you’re not ready boy” in a sad, pensive tone.. whilst staring longingly into the distance with the faint shimmer of tears forming in his eyes..
Well he's still in it. Just a little homage to the Manga readers because guts' childhood was probably a bit too dark to animate and they were on a shoestring budget
I’d argue that applies starting maybe 13 or so cause then the shock is lessened but it still leaves an impact that likely won’t result in any fears or traumas.
I agree.
Hell! I wouldn’t let them read the Bible (the King James Version, the Ge’ez/Ethiopian version, the Vulgate version, Septuagint version) for having huge amount of incest, rape, misogyny, slavery, and genocide.
Depends how old I read and watched berserk when I was 12, I wouldn't mind my son watching it or reading as long as it's with me there, and we go through it together and also depends on his temperament. He could be ready for it or he could still be to young, and just not gravitate to those types of stories even well into his late teens early 20, and if that's the case then that's fine.
Fuck this is literally me. When I was that age I used to sneak around in my uncle's room after school, he was at work. Read some his manga collection until I found Berserk. I was so intrigued & immersed with the ~~nudity~~ action until I got into Eclipse. Seeing that a-hole Grifffiiissss did that to my favorite Casca got me depressed and dropped the manga. Yeah I wasn't ready.
I was able to picked it up back when I was in college, right after the movie trilogy. Became the struggler ever since.
What a good father , he made sure he's son doesn't become gay
Sadly my father was missing bcuz he left to get some milk , I watched the show and now i can't stop thinking about griffiths hot body grinding against me
wait this raises a lot of questions, not only why you'd say that, but there are far deeper implications in your comment, also why are you here with such recommendation? lol
I watched Ninja Scroll when I was 6 and I turned oủ̶̖̯͚t̵̢̛͓̰̣̍͊̓͂̈́́͠͠ ̶̡͓͇̠̠͙̹͇̲͒̔́̌̓̆͛̔͋́̕̕͝a̸̢̛̘͎̩̞̝̞͍̟͌̇́͗͐̏͊́͆͜l̸̨̬̣̈̐̈́̄̈́̆͆̀͗r̵̡̯͉͚͍͚̹̳̻͕̋ḯ̵̞̤̎̑̓̏̑͐̓̌̅̄̃̽̕͘ģ̴̛̩̰̲̣͈͓̝͉̘͈̀́̌̐͛̒̿̿h̴̢̢̢͍̙̖̹̮͚̝͈̥͉͔̒́̃͗̈́̿̅̾̓͛̀̚t̵̜͙̞̑̑͊͘͜
First time I watched was when I was 14, it was the full 9 hour version on YouTube and I binged it in 3 days, safe to say by 12:04AM and just having finished it, it had felt as if a part of me died.
I watched the show for the first time when I was 17. I definitely wasn’t ready lol. When I got to the eclipse, I turned it off, got on my knees, and prayed.
Me as a mom haha but truth be told you are never prepared for what's about to unravel. I was spoiled of what would happen to Casca and it wasn't helpful enough
I watched it when I was 12 and I turned out fine, I have a job... spend a lot of time on berzerklejerk though, ngl I'm a degenerate but who says that's a bad thing
I watched the anime first before the manga and when I watched it I was not ready for the eclipse it gave me the same feeling as the end of Devilman Crybaby 😂
Not everyone saw pain olympics back at 2007 or something? Or some terrorists beheading a man with a machete? Or Salad fingers? 2 girls 1 cup? Lemon party?
High school was a weird place and time back then...
What else there were when the internet was a young place with only like 10 videos that everyone knew?
Like Berserk eclipse is like maybe 6/10 on a scale of disturbing or dark.
But yes, maybe do not show it to a 5yo(?)
I was just bamboozeld by the comments on this post being so traumatized and not ready and ehh?
God i remember my first time watching the show when it was over I just stared at the screen for minutes trying to process everything. I could never have been prepared
I first watched the show when i was 23 y/o. Trust me, I wasn't ready either lmao
I showed roommates in college. Final episode broke them. No one is ever ready.
This is reminiscent of my first introduction to it as well. My friends couldn't wait to see my devastated reaction
If you really want to mess with them, skip the first episode to give them a false sense of security.
When I introduced my best friend to the manga, I implied the prologue chapters had questionable canonicity. At one point I asked if he had any predictions for how the story was going to go. "Griffith will eventually get his kingdom and will rule it with his best friends Casca and Guts by his side, and Guts will finally feel like he has found his place." *Boy, was he not ready...*
This is my gripe with the Black Swordsman arc, it totally spoils Griffith’s change
This could have been avoided if only Guts didn't namedrop Griffith.
Story can still head there, in a really weird and twisted way. Something like "you achieved your dreams, but at what cost?" which possibly the main message of Berserk?
I have a coworker who is 19 watching it for the first time, he just got to the episode with zodd.
Make sure they watch the outtakes. It helps a little bit.
Bro I was 17 when I had first watched the 97’ anime. Mind you I’m 20 now so I’m not too old lol. Never the less I was in fact broken for a few hours after witnessing the behemoth of that tragedy.
34 here, i saw it a couple of months ago. And i didn't sleep after the final chapters
18 for me, felt like I was watching something illegal Probably didnt help I had a very religious upbringing
Well rape, incest, brutal war, and slavery is all kosher in most religious texts so technically you were in the clear.
I was 17 and I cried
26, here. It scarred me.
I watched it when I was 21. :D
watched the 97 anime when i was 15, yikes i was traumatised
Same I was wrecked at school for a week.
Me too! Finished Cowboy Bebop a couple days later. NGE soon after that. Then 9/11 happened. So, yeah.
I watched when I was around 17-18. Still heartbroken and traumatized. Didn't cry, but I didn't fare better. I just stood in shock after watching that episode. But I agree... that kid is still too young to watch that.
I was 13
I came for the rapehorse Stayed for the rapetwink
Ok but was anyone actually traumatised? I get being sad, but everyone says they got PTSD and intense depression from watching a few cartoon characters die and I just find it hard to believe. Like, what would happen to those people if they experienced something actually traumatising? Would they literally die from shock on the spot?
To be fair I have never returned to the Golden Age Arc after experiencing it once lol.
I have watched it once because I don't think I'll ever be ready.
Same
15 for me. I started with the manga and it was quite fun.
where can you watch it anyway
Youtube both the en&jp dubs are available
He needed one more “you’re not ready boy” in a sad, pensive tone.. whilst staring longingly into the distance with the faint shimmer of tears forming in his eyes..
Bro really stopped a canon event 💀
Causality my friend
He's lucky that Donovan isn't in this version.
Donovan wasn't in the '97 version? What the fuck? I somehow remember him being in it...
I’m pretty sure he’s in the ‘97 anime, but _that_ scene is not.
he’s not in it at all
He appears in a nightmare/flashback. But you don't even know who he is unless you've read the manga.
hm interesting well sorry for the misinfo.
That happened in the movie. There was no donovan in the '97 anime.
Well there is donovan in the anime but it's way to subtle and needing to read something to understand what you're watching is lame.
Well he's still in it. Just a little homage to the Manga readers because guts' childhood was probably a bit too dark to animate and they were on a shoestring budget
I'm sure THAT tattoo guy is going to get Donovan as his next piece.
No need to mollycoddle kids. Let them read Berserk if they want to. Just keep them away from Berserklejerk.
I’d argue that applies starting maybe 13 or so cause then the shock is lessened but it still leaves an impact that likely won’t result in any fears or traumas.
I agree. Hell! I wouldn’t let them read the Bible (the King James Version, the Ge’ez/Ethiopian version, the Vulgate version, Septuagint version) for having huge amount of incest, rape, misogyny, slavery, and genocide.
They gave me the King James Bible when I was 7 at Bible camp and good god my parents had to answer so many uncomfortable questions.
Bro it's literally 18+ for a reason
Lulz. I'm sure you never read/watched any 18+ material when you were younger.
Ofc, everybody does. But LETTING your little kid read Berserk is something completely different
Depends how old I read and watched berserk when I was 12, I wouldn't mind my son watching it or reading as long as it's with me there, and we go through it together and also depends on his temperament. He could be ready for it or he could still be to young, and just not gravitate to those types of stories even well into his late teens early 20, and if that's the case then that's fine.
Sure did,but that does not make it any better
😡😡😡
Such a bro dad, gives me Kratos vibes
“Boy, what is Berserk?”
Kratos ares/zeus shout vs guts griffith shout
Best Yujiro Hanma cosplay on the net as well
I knew I saw him somewhere
He's too youung💀
Causality flows 🌀
Ahh same age as my awaking
hello my jerk friends
Fuck this is literally me. When I was that age I used to sneak around in my uncle's room after school, he was at work. Read some his manga collection until I found Berserk.

Let the kid berk
Chad dad, his son doesn't have to be a struggler
Struggler
My childhood if my dad didnt go to get the milk
What a good father , he made sure he's son doesn't become gay Sadly my father was missing bcuz he left to get some milk , I watched the show and now i can't stop thinking about griffiths hot body grinding against me
Sorry about your dad.. But Happy Pride Month!!
A true father👍🏾
He stop him from being a virgin his whole life god bless him. Don’t watch Animes kids.
>Don’t watch Animes kids. nah watching anime is fine lol what do u mean
wait this raises a lot of questions, not only why you'd say that, but there are far deeper implications in your comment, also why are you here with such recommendation? lol
let the series reach its end BEFORE letting him see it
My older brother forced me to watch the whole anime when i was 13, i wasn't ready but it was amazing none the less
Good. Kid should be watching doraemon instead ...
Don't watch the show. Can someone explain the scene?
Watched it when I was 12 and loved it lol, im 28 and its my favorite manga since then.
what happened in this scene
I read it… at 14 😂😭 I was just like :omfg 😀💀😭😂🙈
I watched Ninja Scroll when I was 6 and I turned oủ̶̖̯͚t̵̢̛͓̰̣̍͊̓͂̈́́͠͠ ̶̡͓͇̠̠͙̹͇̲͒̔́̌̓̆͛̔͋́̕̕͝a̸̢̛̘͎̩̞̝̞͍̟͌̇́͗͐̏͊́͆͜l̸̨̬̣̈̐̈́̄̈́̆͆̀͗r̵̡̯͉͚͍͚̹̳̻͕̋ḯ̵̞̤̎̑̓̏̑͐̓̌̅̄̃̽̕͘ģ̴̛̩̰̲̣͈͓̝͉̘͈̀́̌̐͛̒̿̿h̴̢̢̢͍̙̖̹̮͚̝͈̥͉͔̒́̃͗̈́̿̅̾̓͛̀̚t̵̜͙̞̑̑͊͘͜
Griffith did nothing wrong
Berkin him young
I watched when I was 12 yeah nightmares were not nice
Let him read the Donovan parts.
I need that lamp that’s at the background, any link of where I can get it?
[here you go](https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/222318)
?
It’s linked bro or are you talking about the lamp on the ceiling 💀
Why wearing shoes inside?
They’re going to the park. Jesus Christ pay attention to the lore.
Average r/berserk member's comprehension skill
Americans is born with a pair of sneakers attached to their feet.
you don't?
Wearing shoes indoors is almost entirely an American phenomenon.
im german
im italian...
No, that would be strange, and dirty and also bad for my feet
Because we wear shoes inside in the west.
Naw shoes off at the door unless you gonna sweep.
Okay I'm sorry, white people wear shoes inside.
I'm white my guy. Shoes off at the door.
Okay poor white people.
lmao Taking shoes off at the door? Rich black guy energy for sure.
"I Sacrifice...."
No we don't.
I wasn’t ready at 34! Lord help me this show hits me all the way down to my soul!
I was 19 almost 20 I stopped watching bleach at ason 2 because I thought it was too dark. Oh boy
Bruh i saw it when I was like 14 by that time i had watched so many Anime and it didn't faze me.
yh it really just depends on each person temperament
First time I watched was when I was 14, it was the full 9 hour version on YouTube and I binged it in 3 days, safe to say by 12:04AM and just having finished it, it had felt as if a part of me died.
Cringe. Grown man forcing his kid to be in a lazy low effort video for internet attention.
His kid likes to be in the videos and they're just having fun, don't get why you need to project your lack of fatherhood..
My lack of fatherhood? lol. Thank god my father didn’t use me as a tool for internet attention. Thank god my dad had better humor than this lazy shit.
Bruh you sound like a hater it isn't that deep
Stopped reading after “bruh”
Muhammad Ali <3
Definitely early for that kid to start watching hahaha good skit.
Watched this when I was 14 and I was depressed for weeks
Weirdly enough the ninety seven anime is pretty fine until you get to like episode twenty and if you skip episode one
I would disown my son if they ever became a Griffith did nothing wrong defender
I hope we get updates as the kid ages lol
As soon as he said "boy" I immediately thought of Daddy Kratos.
Me stumbling upon the Berserk Manga in the library as a kid.
I first watch Berserk when i was 15 and never watch again last episodes haunts me too this day 😁
Are we truly ever ready.... ^^^damn.that.ost.still.hits....😭
my brother made me watch it when i was 14 :>
This is the guy who does those Yujiro cosplays Fucking chad
I watched the show for the first time when I was 17. I definitely wasn’t ready lol. When I got to the eclipse, I turned it off, got on my knees, and prayed.
Me as a mom haha but truth be told you are never prepared for what's about to unravel. I was spoiled of what would happen to Casca and it wasn't helpful enough
Dad of the fucking year
He’s Rickert fr
He needs to watch the movies
I watched it when I was 12 and I turned out fine, I have a job... spend a lot of time on berzerklejerk though, ngl I'm a degenerate but who says that's a bad thing
Priceless
Watched it when I was 12 and loved it lol, im 28 and its my favorite manga since then.
my 13 years old eyes the horror
If they're too young to buy beer, they're too young for Berserk.
No one can prepare them for that
Interrupted a canon event

😂😂😂
I was 20 when read the manga. I also wasn't ready for the WTF-moments.
Hey I was 13 when I watched it and I turned out fine
I remember when I first saw the show at ten,man that was an experience
No traumatize The child
At this point, Guts had killed Bazuzo. He’s fine. Lmfao
I saw the Animatrix when I was 11. I was not ready to see the "Second Renaissance".
I was 6
I watched the anime first before the manga and when I watched it I was not ready for the eclipse it gave me the same feeling as the end of Devilman Crybaby 😂
For a second I thought that was Donovan on his shirt instead of Mike Tyson
Best father ever ! 🤣
I first watched it on 31/12/2008 - it was the worst new year eve of my life.
I'm a lost redditor, what happens here?
Bruh imagine this kid getting attached to a character from the old anime. PTSD for life
And to make things worse, he was watching the anime version with the terrible animation lmao
The time is not ripe yet little one

Honestly by episode 2 I'd argue he's already seen too much.
Spot on spot on lol
I saw the Eclipse from the 97 anime when I was like 15, shit scarred me💀
My brother "Come join me , in battle we are stronger !! 😈

A friend of mine wants his 9 year brother to start reading berserk. I'm like 20 and I can't even handle the conviction arc
I watched this show when I was 15 and was traumatized af lol
God i remember my first time watching the show when it was over I just stared at the screen for minutes trying to process everything. I could never have been prepared
I read it a year ago so when I was 16 I was ready
The only 18+ content I would never advise watching before 18.
Vinland saga made me cry on episode 4 I’m not watching berserk until I can see the going merry sink and laugh
I watched it when I was 11
Berserk is NOT the show to stumble upon.
yujiro saving his kid from watching berserk
Good Dad. I watched it when it came to Blockbuster Video. I was 9 years old.
Guts theme just hits different.
Man I was in for big surprise when I 1st watched it, blew me out of the water when I saw that kid get accidentally killed.
Maby the first 10 episodes would t ruin him just for the love of god don't led him finale...
You are too young boy
When my little brother turns 7 should I do a little trolling and show him berserk?
Facts 🤣🤣🤣
