Main Feature: The strongest dark fantasy "BERSERK"
"BERSERK" by Kentaro Miura is one of the most popular dark fantasy manga in Japan. We bring you the latest on the first cinema anime versions of this lengthy manga series, which will be released soon.
"BERSERK" began appearing in serial form in "Monthly magazine Young Animal" in 1989. Some 24 million copies of this series have been sold in Japan since then, in addition to 7 million copies overseas. "BESERK" is a masterpiece of contemporary fantasy manga, which has been translated for fans elsewhere in Asia, Europe, Russia and South America.
The sagas unfold in a majestic world reminiscent of medieval Europe. The protagonist Gats is a swordsman whose weapon resembles a huge chunk of iron. He and his followers embark on journeys to inflict vengeance.
Creating cinema versions of this fantastic world and the complex sagas which began more than twenty years ago was no easy task. STUDIO 4℃ Co. Ltd, one of Japan's most talented animation studios, responsible for masterpieces like "TEKKONKINKREET" and "Mind-Game", rose to the challenge. The history and art were carefully researched. An innovative combination of hand-drawings and computer graphics has been used to recreate dramatic combat scenes.
We interview Eiko Tanaka, the CEO & President of STUDIO 4℃, as well as the director and animator, Toshiyuki Kubota, who is famous for characterizing "THE IDOLM@STER". And we also talk to Jay Noyes, who provided instruction and guidance on western swordsmanship for this anime version. Motion capture was used to recreate the awesome combat scenes in the original manga. The anime version of the "BESERK" series will shortly be released in Japan and elsewhere around the world. They are not to be missed!
