According to a publication in "Young Animal" magazine, it has been announced that Berserk by author Kentarou Miura will receive a new anime adaptation. NBC Universal will release the first promotional video for the anime at its booth at the Comiket event this winter. The announcement does not reveal whether it will be a new TV series, film, or OVA.
Author Miura comments that the project will focus on "Guts" in his appearance as the "Black Swordsman," which is only revealed in parts of the manga, going beyond any story previously told in the animated series.
The magazine also highlights that the old Berserk series will have a Blu-ray version with the 2012 HD remaster. The new box set is scheduled for release on April 20th and will cost ¥18,000 (approximately US$148).
Furthermore, Miura will be putting the Berserk manga on hiatus next summer.
