The original Berserk anime gets the re-release it deserves with the glorious new Blu-ray Steelbook, but there’s one big problem

Since its launch in 1997, Furious has been an absolute fan favorite for its brutal, gripping story and unforgettable characters. Now, the iconic dark fantasy series is getting the relaunch fans have been waiting for; an impressive Blue-ray steelbook edition of Berserk: The Complete 1997 TV Series. Available exclusively through Crunchyroll, this release is one of the biggest Blue-ray anime releases of the year, boasting 25 episodes in high definition along with English and Japanese dubs and all previously available extras. But there’s one big catch: This limited edition steelbook will only be printed once, making it a must-have for collectors willing to pre-order before it’s gone.

Discounted at $60 and eligible for an additional discount with promo code WELCOME15, this steelbook is an incredible deal. Only the cover art, featuring Berserk the brooding protagonist, Guts, pays a dark and fitting tribute to the vision of the late Kentaro Miura. But once the pre-order ends, it’s gone forever, a limitation that makes the deal both more attractive and even harder to get.

A Steelbook Worth the Hype

Crunchyroll’s Exclusive Steelbook Is a Must-Have for Berserk Fans

THE Furious Blue-ray steelbook is a collector’s dream. The cover art shows Guts in a thoughtful posture, which captures an iconic moment in Miura’s original art. Inside, fans will find all 25 episodes in full HD, preserving the dark visuals and sinister atmosphere that define the anime. This set also includes extras from previous releases, adding valuable content for die-hard fans who want an in-depth look at the making of the series.

This limited edition release is exclusive to Crunchyroll, which makes it even rarer. Pre-orders are live now and with its discounted price of $60, the steelbook is an attractive addition to any anime collection. While fans can purchase a standard Blue-ray edition for $50 on Amazon, the regular version lacks the detailed steelbook cover art and quality that brings Miura’s vision to life in a truly collectible way.
