Berserk (the original) is my favorite anime of all time. I'm currently watching the 2016 release, and am finding it to be very enjoyable. It continues the bleak world view that the original series created so well. Many people complained about the animation in the new release, but I find it to be more than acceptable. I'm mainly grateful that they didn't subdue the violence and blood, as seems to be the case with many modern anime. I'm also very happy to hear that the continuation was approved for 2017.
A quick question- did any fansub group release an uncensored blu-ray version? It seems strange that for something as popular as Berserk, all I can find is the relatively low quality 1080p censored web rips. I was positive this would be a hot item for some of the higher quality sub groups.
