The publisher Hakusensha , responsible for the Berserk manga, revealed that the Berserk: The Black Swordsman anime project does not have authorization from the copyright holders. This statement, published on Twitter, surprised many followers by publicly denouncing the project for copyright infringement.

In the statement, available in five languages, the publisher clarifies: “To our readers, the production of a Berserk on the indicated Twitter account and website; however, this production was not authorized by Kentaro Miura (Studio Gaga), the copyright holder. Furthermore, the videos accompanying these announcements are being shown without permission.” This notice made it clear that, while there are many fan-made projects, this particular one is violating the copyright of the work.
Therefore, the Studio Eclypse, which gained popularity on social media for promising a faithful adaptation of the original manga, has become increasingly controversial due to the studio receiving donations via Patreon, which many consider an ethical violation for unofficial projects.
The situation has raised an important discussion: how far can fans go without infringing on the creators' rights? The future of Berserk: The Black Swordsman is uncertain, but Hakusensha's warning serves as a reminder of the legal risks of these projects.
