One of the best aspect about the writing is how it uses small details to full use. Whether it’s either to display the change in a character with a simple expression or allow viewers to ponder about the cost of ambition, the value of living, and many other topics. It’s singled minded in its goal, ensuring every event serves a purpose. Never does Berserk wander off to tell a single side story that has no relevance. The anime is always confident in the direction it’s headed in. While you might not always have confidence in Berserk methods when telling a story. This is the kind anime that is deliberately slow paced, progressing leisurely to make everything in the story flow naturally. Good: An Absorbing, Fantastically Told Story Berserk writing leaves a far greater impression than it’s violent, bloody content. I like a good story and great characters regardless what genre it belongs too. However, I’ve managed to get into fantasy stories like “The Once and Future King”, “The Hobbit”, “The Alchemist”, and “Gormenghast” which I like allot.

Sometime breaking its own establish rules when in a corner or the fantastic ideas far outweigh the actual quality of the story. Be it books, movies, anime, or anything fantasy has rarely been an interesting genre to me.

Fantasy, for me, is the least accessible genre.
