In 2021, the 1,000th television series episode was released with particular screenings held in both countries: the United States and France -the second largest Manga and anime markets following Japan.
A live-action film adaptation from Netflix could be in the works, with some fans suggesting it could propel the series into the realm of global celebrity status similar to “Star The Force Awakens” and “Harry Potter.”
In the meantime, the creators of “Berserk,” announced on Tuesday that the show would be relaunched following the death of the founder, Kentaro Miura, just more than a year earlier.
Miura’s close friend Kouji Mori continues the author’s work following discussions on what direction the book should take, publication house Hakusensha announced.

“I am only going to write episodes that Miura spoke with me on,” Mori said in the official statement.
“I will not elaborate on it and won’t write any episodes that I can’t recall well. The only things I’ll write are phrases and stories that Miura told me.”
