I have some good news here for fans of Berserk or manga in general. There will be a series of animated movies adapted from widely popular dark-fantasy-manga. Titled "Berserk Golden Age Arc 1: Egg of the Supreme Ruler", is the first of 3 films to animate the series' Golden Age Arc which spans 13 volumes of the manga. The trailer reveals a January 2012 release date for part 1.
Here is the new trailer.
For those unfamiliar with Berserk. Released in 1990 and still going, Berserk is a manga series written by Kentaro Miura. Berserk follows the life of anti-hero protagonist Guts the mercenary and antagonist Griffith. Griffith led the mercenary group "Band of the Hawk", while later joins the ranks of demonic gods that intend to create a hell on earth. The story's common themes are horror, fantasy, drama, heavy violence, and sexuality. Quite possibly the most sophisticated writing and art ever, trumps any other graphic novel available in my opinion.
Here is a clip from the 90's short run anime series.
