“Berserk: The Black Swordsman“, the long-awaited anime project from the fan group Eclipse Studiodebuted its first main trailer worldwide to a very positive reception.

Through its official networks, Studio Eclypse published the world premiere of the first trailer for “Berserk: The Black Swordsman”. The action-packed trailer runs for approximately three minutes and introduces Guts, the legendary swordsman, though fans also get to see footage of Casca, Puck, and, very briefly, Griffith. The studio also noted at the end of the trailer that “The story begins in the summer of 2025»

The Berserk trailer follows months of teasers dating back to at least late last year with the first key art for “Berserk: The Black Swordsman,” to this month with the most recent key art for Guts featuring the character dressed in his signature cape and holding a crossbow. The anime project will be directed by “Axel (@axxxlg)” on Twitter and will feature animators such as “@aledrawart” and “@chithunderpond”.

“Berserk: The Black Swordsman” came about as a reaction to the lack of a proper adaptation of the “Black Swordsman Arc,” which spans the first three volumes of the original manga, despite numerous opportunities. In the case of Studio Eclypse, the creators previously stated that they “aim to create a proper 2D adaptation of the medium’s forgotten stories, starting from the beginning.” This is a fan-made project with the utmost respect to the late Kentaro Miura, Studio Gaga, and Hakusensha.

Berserk Synopsis

His name is Guts the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearing a massive sword, an iron fist, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with the Mark, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and condemns him as their sacrifice. But Guts will not be satisfied with his fate, but will carve a line of crimson carnage through the ranks of the damned… and anyone foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by the elf Puck, who is more of a nuisance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark and bloodstained path that leads only to death… or revenge.
