| I'm not talking about the cgi one but the 1997 one. Do I need to read the manga first to understand the anime?

| It'd be a waste not to read the manga. But still if you insist on not reading it I think there's no problem, but you'll eventually end up wanting to read the manga anyway because the 97 anime ends with the most iconic arc of Berserk.

| >>bf4604 it's not that I don't want to read it, but is very long and I'm not sure if I will even like it. If I like the anime I will start to read the manga.

| >>289496 that's fair I guess just keep in mind that the anime is pretty old

| The manga is so much better than the anime by such a drastic margin, that's like asking 'can I eat the twinkie without eating the 5 star perfectly seasoned luxurious prime steak you made?' You certainly could, but you're a fucking idiot if you do.
