Over the last two decades, anime has become a global powerhouse, bringing some of the most unforgettable movies and series ever made. From cyberpunk epics and action thrillers to heartfelt fantasy adventures, the list is long. Modern classics like Chainsaw Man and Attack on Titan are iconic, but the genre's older gems deserve just as much praise. One such is Berserk (1997). 

More than 2 decades after its debut, the classic anime series remains iconic for its unforgettable characters and story. And it continues to intrigue people to watch or rewatch the show. So, here is how to watch the series in 2026.

Unfortunately, Berserk (1997) is not currently available to stream on any major streaming platform. However, fans can still watch the classic by purchasing it on DVD or Blu-ray through retailers such as Amazon. The original anime consists of a single season with 25 episodes, making it an easy series to binge over a weekend.

The series follows a lone mercenary, Guts, who joins the legendary Band of the Hawk, led by the charismatic Griffith. As the trio of Guts, Griffith, and Casca rise to fame on the battlefield, their bonds are tested by ambition, betrayal, and the pursuit of power. A medieval war drama gradually transforms into a haunting dark fantasy.

Nobutoshi Canna, Toshiyuki Morikawa, Yūko Miyamura, Akiko Yajima, Akira Ishida, Masuo Amada, and Tomohiro Nishimura are part of the Japanese voice cast for the film. The English voice cast includes Marc Diraison, Kevin T. Collins, Carrie Keranen, Michelle Newman, Christopher Kromer, and Jeff Ward. Now, if Berserk (1997) shows anime at its darkest, supernatural comedies are just as entertaining.
