Since its 1997 release, Berserk's first anime has been a fan-favorite for its thrilling story and unforgettable characters. Now, the iconic dark fantasy series is getting the re-release fans have been waiting for; a stunning steelbook Blu-ray edition of Berserk: The Complete 1997 TV Series. Exclusively available through Crunchyroll, this release is one of the biggest anime Blu-ray releases of the year, boasting 25 episodes in high-definition along with both English and Japanese dubs. Unfortunately, there is a 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.

Priced at a discounted $60 and eligible for an additional discount with promo code WELCOME15, this steelbook is an amazing deal. The cover art alone, featuring Berserk's brooding protagonist Guts, pays a somber and fitting tribute to the late Kentaro Miura's vision. But once the pre-order ends, it is gone for good, a limitation that both makes the deal more alluring and makes it even harder to get.

Inside, fans will find all 25 episodes in full HD, preserving the gritty visuals and ominous atmosphere that define the anime. This set also includes extras from previous releases, adding valuable content for the die-hard fans who want an in-depth look at the making of the series.

This limited-edition release is exclusive to Crunchyroll, making it even more rare. Pre-orders are already live, and with its $60 discounted price tag, the steelbook is an appealing addition to any anime collection. While fans can buy a standard Blu-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 form.
