Production notes

This TV series ran for 26 episodes.

Based on Kentaro Miura's manga in "Young Animal" magazine, which was a hit with readers and critics alike. The anime series covered the early chapters of the manga and was told mainly in flashback.

After the publication of the "Sword of the Berserk" game on Dreamcast, there were rumors of a United States release, but negotiations were said to be incomplete as of 2001.

Several evil characters were named after well-known science-fiction figures.
