Where to continue after the anime
To follow directly after the 1997 TV ending, start chapter 87 inside volume 13, with overlap at the Eclipse. Reading from chapter 1 is recommended: the anime omits important Black Swordsman material, Skull Knight and other scenes needed for the continuation. Later Berserk anime cover a different, later checkpoint.

Watch order
- Berserk (1997) — episodes 1–25 in broadcast order.
- For the later animated continuation, watch Berserk (2016), then Berserk (2017).
- The Golden Age films and Memorial Edition retell the arc covered by the 1997 series; watching both versions is unnecessary. The later series also omits material from the manga.
