Title: hmm...where is the hip soundtrack?
Review: I have the DVD of Beserk. I was lured by the upbeat soundtrack of drums and choruses in the background giving that full warriordom atmosphere. It is slightly disappointing.I haven't finished the entire collection because it has just become so less interesting. Yes, there is gore and yes, there is a small guy with a big sword.There is a school of thought that promotes the necessity of a good soundtrack to propel a story foward. Try watching a horror film on mute and see how much heebie jeebies you get. Berserk accomplishes in doing the direct opposite.If you want to be shocked I would recommend Ninja Scroll. If you like a cool soundtrack (at least at the beginning) get Bubblegum Crisis. If you want great character development get Rorouni Kenshin. If you are just in the mood to sate a curious palate, then by all means get Berserk.You have been forewarned.
