“Berserk” English Dub Coming To Funimation On Monday

Now, this is a big deal.

Mid-last year, Crunchyroll announced that they were releasing an English dub adaptation of the very popular anime series Berserk, but as of today that hasn’t happened. Since then, Funimation and Crunchyroll have been partnering on simuldubs vs simulcasts respectively and it’s been working and it looks like Berserk will be the newest collaboration to come to fruition.

Instead of coming out on a home release, Funimation has taken the reigns to dub the first season of Berserk which will stream in its entirety on March 20th @ 10 am CT. IGN.com got a hold of an exclusive clip as well as a cast listing that you can see here.

Spurred by the flame raging in his heart, the Black Swordsman Guts continues his seemingly endless quest for revenge. Standing in his path are heinous outlaws, delusional evil spirits, and a devout child of god.Even as it chips away at his life, Guts continues to fight his enemies, who wield repulsive and inhumane power, with nary but his body and sword—his strength as a human. What lies at the end of his travels? The answer is shrouded in the “night.” Strain your eyes and stare into the dark!
