Netflix has been stepping up their game with anime productions and now one more will be added.

According to ComicBook.com, the original 1997 anime series based on the manga and directed by Naohito Takahashi will be available on Netflix for select markets on December 1st. Sadly it will be avaiable for only some regions. Even though fans hyped up for the series we do now have definite results. According to reports the anime won't air in the United States, the United Kingdom, or Canada on that December 1st launch date.

When Netflix announced that it had acquired the rights to Parasyte, Monster, and other classic anime, the release of Berserk content appeared to be a foregone conclusion. A countdown clock on Berserk's official website that pointed to a date in the middle of December suggests that new material may also be forthcoming. Although nothing is yet confirmed, fans of the franchise appear to be in for exciting times, but still which regions will get the anime is not clear for sure.

The saga is viewable in Portugal, for example, although not where you might have expected. If you are determined to watch the 25-episode program, you will probably have to rely on a VPN that has the appropriate local servers for the time being.
