>Ok so you want almost 40 books at once that about $10 USD each?

Yes? You don't need to buy them all at once, I didn't. I bought a few here and there until I caught up with Dark Horse's release schedule. You can still do the same, if you can find the books still in print.

>Even the 1st isn't reduced

Yes it is.

Volume 1

Volume 2

>there's doesn't seem be collectors box or any to get in bulk for a reduced cost or space

In the past, they have had trouble selling the current edition of Berserk. Why would they invest more money into new boxed sets and omnibuses when they don't think anyone will buy them. If you wanted some box set deal, Right Stuff did that a couple of years ago when the volumes were last reprinted. And is it really that hard to add items to a online shopping cart?

>Despite the movie being supposedly pirated so much, I rented from Amazon. Because I could. Can I can do that with the books... Well...you guess that

Let me be the first to congratulate you on renting a movie instead of pirating it. Anyway about the manga...

Hakusensha has been hesitant, like many Japanese publishers, to release its comics digitally. It was only within the last couple of years that they began digitally selling their manga and releasing a delayed digital version of their magazines. They have been hesitant because they feel that digital copies would be easier to pirate than physical books. It's a old school way of thinking, especially considering the lengths that people go through to pirate manga, but there is some truth to it. You can thank Evil Genius for helping to add to their fears by editing and distributing those digital copies for all to freely download.

Thanks EG. You're service has been invaluable once again, well done.

If you want to support Berserk by purchasing it digitally, you can go here. As far as Dark Horse goes, they have expressed interest in releasing Berserk digitally in the past, but as I said earlier Hakusensha has been slow to embrace digital sales. However if you think you are going to get a better deal because it's digital, you obviously have not purchased manga digitally before. You will probably only save a couple of dollars on each volume.

It seems to be out of print from North American licensors. Like others have mentioned, the series is available on Blu-Ray from Madman in Australia. You'd have to find a way around the region locking though (like getting a region free Blu-Ray player for example). It's a lot easier to get around the region locking with DVDs since any computer or laptop with a DVD drive, can play a DVD from any region, be it with the help of special software or not. The series is available on DVD in Europe for a good price.

If you're willing to, you can wait until the 20th anniversary of the series to see if it will be rereleased on Blu-Ray in North America. However, if that doesn't happen, consider the options that I mentioned earlier in this comment.

Hope this helped.

EDIT: Anime Works has the North American license and will release the series on DVD on December 3rd this year.

Don't understand how you couldn't find the new Dark Horse reprints.

Heres a link to a great site with free shipping worldwide.

Also this site doesn't have volume 2 in stock I believe so check Amazon.

These are priced at around $15. I hope this is what you're looking for :)

There is currently no legal way to stream the 1997 anime, but you can purchase it from several places:
Here
and Here
I would personally recommend reading the manga but i hope these links help.

That's actually not terrible for the Box of War set considering that it's a limited edition box that has been out of print for ages. I would definitely make sure of the condition it's in before considering buying it though. Some of the ones I've seen listed for "cheap" in the past were in pretty rough condition since it's such an old set. But all of that aside, the one drawback of that set is that it's an older release. There was a remastered release that came out later on, and you can buy it on Amazon for $68 brand new.

That's pretty much the only practical way to own the 1997 series in North America at the moment. There was a Bluray re-release in Japan and the UK, but the Japanese release doesn't have English audio (the dub is actually really good), and the UK release went out of print and is region locked to boot. The UK publisher is doing a steel case version soon, so if you have some means of bypassing region lock and want to own the series on Bluray, then that's your best bet.

The same book OP shared. I saw you can get used but in good condition for around $45, but that's the cheapest I could find. (I hope that link works, I'm on mobile.)

Anime MOvie -BERSERK Illustration ART BOOK Character Part [Japanese Edition] https://www.amazon.com/dp/4904835778/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_7k3gybR401M09

Very nice!

FYI Dark Horse about to release the manga in a new format if you didn't know. https://www.amazon.com/Berserk-Deluxe-1-Kentaro-Miura/dp/1506711987/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=QVRZ8QZBREHVPZG1C75S

Just taking a look for a second, I found this box of war on ebay for $125, which is about what i paid for mine. Seller has 100% positive feedback and includes photos.

I’m guessing you might’ve seen this one if you’ve already checked amazon, but again its sold by a highly rated third party so it’s probably legit. And it seems they use amazon’s return policy so that shouldn’t be an issue either. As far as the price goes, I can’t say if it’s cheap or not but it seems reasonable to me.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

With your eyes.

Jokes aside, Start here! :)

Or....you could, like, pay for it, and support the people who make this stuff that we like...

This is the best way to experience it.

I always use amazon. I reccomend buying berserk deluxe edition first. Its a premium hardcover book that's way bigger than the usual books at 7x10, it comes with the first three volumes. AND its pretty cheap right now at about 27$ nearly half the usual price.

Amazon started the pre-sale few days ago. The date is July 18, 2017.

It's a collector's edition, but it's Blu-ray. I don't have one yet but I think it has at least the dub, so subtitles should be there too I think. Link here to Amazon page here

Not bullshit if you live in another country.

Plus, I was referring to the initial price, not the discount.

Found some playing cards based on the movie

Volume 3 is on amazon for $13 but 29 is insanely priced.

I looked around a bit and found something on Amazon that is either that or is extremely similar

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009N5ERXO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2FyQCbC4FNCT5

This came up on the UK amazon recently...

amazon has it here

Congrats man.
Volume 2 and volume 5 are quite expensive, I managed to pick up 1-14 on a comic selling group on facebook, got lucky as hell.

This is exactly what we're getting in the UK. And on the amazon listing it previously said volumes 1-6 (which is all 25 episodes, they were just split up into 6 volumes when they were released), but since then they changed the listing to Berserk: Collector's Edition and the price has gone down to £35.

I bought the UK bluray, but it’s region coded so you’ll need the right player.

It’s one zippo, his picture is showing each side of it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3KNPF8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_LtMbAb647M7MC

Got you fam.

For anyone wanting to pick some up.

definitely this one.

Here’s a link to the digital version of volume 1 (only $8.99)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073ZJV2VG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_yb98AbE74MJR5

You could also get the physical version for $11.95 just by switching the format to paperback.

Here you go buddy.

It's the leather bound set.

Not OP, but, https://www.amazon.com/1-X-Berserk-Playing-Cards/dp/B00FUTMALS

Judging by this link, that pic is from a Berserk artbook: http://www.gameblog.fr/blogs/kenjiseang/rub7/

The two artbooks are for sale here:
https://www.amazon.com/Anime-BERSERK-Illustration-Bijutsu-hen-Japanese/dp/4904835786

I think it's the second book, but I didn't translate that first link. That should be a start, you'd need to just have a high quality picture/scan I think. I couldn't find any evidence of this so you might have to end up doing it yourself.

Actually that might have answered my question. I was wondering if this was legit since I didn't see any other pictures or logos of companies or anything https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001GF8WSK/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_74_of_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4RQJX0M1SC6QGDSJXDQ3.

July 18th.

https://www.amazon.com/Berserk-38-Graphic-Novels/dp/1506703984

All volumes are available and at a reasonable price on amazon (I just quickly rifled through them online.) with the exception of Volume 29 which is priced new at $190:

http://www.amazon.com/Berserk-Vol-29-Kentaro-Miura/dp/1595822100/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1374163169&sr=8-3&keywords=berserk+27

Oddly enough, I seem to have found a copy of what appears to be the same thing for roughly $11:

http://www.booksamillion.com/p/Berserk/Kentaro-Miura/9781595822109

Ebay seems to have copies of Volume 29 for a price of anywhere between $20 and $100. Weird.

it appears to have a release date set for July.

This happened a few years ago. Volumes became exceedingly scarce, and I'm not even sure Dark Horse was entirely aware. Sales fell off (not to say it wasn't selling well) once they caught up with Japan, so I guess Berserk became a kind of a back burner item. It would appear that has happened again.

Dark Horse would be foolish not to replenish all of their wares with the new anime coming, Volume 38 on the horizon, and the series resuming.

Whatever you do, don't buy Volume 3 for $61.22. Just wait it out until the stocks get replenished.

What am I missing here?

Amazon sells a copy of the whole series for ~$65

Other than that I couldn't find any place that was streaming the 97 anime.

The 97 Anime covers the golden age arc and while it has its flaws its overall a pretty good adaptation. Fun fact: the production studio that made it has only ever worked on two IP... Berserk and literally every pokemon anime.

In 2012 they produced a movie triligy that also covered the golden age arc. The animation is CG, though decent despite this, and the story more closely follows the manga... but the pacing suffers as they essentially crammed more content than the 97 anime into 1/3rd the time. Some prefer the latter, some dont.

Then in 2016 they took a dump.

Is there a EU one? I tried searching fast but couldnt find any... Would cost too much to order those from US :|

E1: nvm I was blind, found it now.
E2: for those of you from EU that want it click here!

The limited edition comes with the most beautiful presentation case and art cards. I'm desperately trying to source a copy for myself at the moment, but it's hard because everywhere has the picture of the limited edition but are only selling the standard.

​

I can't get the exact link to the image but if you go here and scroll down you can see the art cards and case in a review. What annoys me though is this particular listing is for the STANDARD edition, so it's incredibly confusing for me. But that's my problem, haha
