Berserk anime

I watched the first movie, Berserk: The Egg of the King, some months ago on Netflix and the series intrigued me. So when I got a CrunchyRoll subscription, I started watching the follow up series from 2016. Woah, that was a bit of a shift. Most of the characters are missing. Instead of knights and kingdoms battling in what seemed to be a low-magic fantasy setting, it was demons and monsters and ghosts and all sorts of supernatural goings-on.

Well, now I've watched the other two films in the Golden Age arc that fill in the gap between the first film and the new TV anime. And again, woah! Did not see that coming.

The reason I bring this up is because the whole Golden Age story arc really has some interesting parallels to Avouz and Alandar's story with Haplo. Griffith becomes some sort of archdemon; Haplo becomes a god. It's worth checking out if you haven't seen it. The Golden Age films (3 of them) are on Netflix and the TV series is on CrunchyRoll.
