I started reading manga, and wanted to watch anime simultaneously. But, seems there is an issue here. 1 important manga character is not yet introduced in anime and screenplay seems to be different from manga.
I will complete 3 volumes of manga and revisit anime!!

TLDR: episode 1 is not the beginning it starts with episode 2. If you like dark shows & plenty of action you are in the right place.
I am doing a rewatch of Berserk. It is one of my all time favorite anime/manga so I am a bit bias. I intend to have my review reflect my opinion of the show with a refreshed perspective & ignoring what I have read in the manga. That being said I will always recommend the manga over the anime.
1st impression: the show throws you in the middle of the story right away. You get to see a world in chaos & a small taste of what torments the people and our main character. Ultimately we get sent back to the beginning of the story though. Episode 2 is where everything really starts. Lots of action, and it is as dark as I remember it being.
