Reception
Reception for Berserk: The Golden Age was mostly mixed, with Kotaku's Richard Eisenbeis panning the first two installments of the trilogy, but describing the third installment, Berserk: Golden Age Arc III: Descent, as supreme and delivering an experience surpassing the original manga both in emotional turmoil and brutal violence. In Chris Qu's review for ReelRundown, he mentions that despite the overuse of poor CGI, he was glad to have viewed the films and recommends them to anime fans seeking out grittier films. Mr. Conair of Theanimehub says that the adaptation, though hampered by insufficient length and lacking build-up in many areas, does have many instances of tight directing, strong emotional execution and even lighter moments that made the source material great. On Rotten Tomatoes, Berserk: The Golden Age Arc 1 - The Egg of the King scored 75%; Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II - The Battle for Doldrey scored 85%; and Berserk: The Golden Age Arc III - The Advent received 85%. The trilogy overall received an average rating of 3.8/5.

My trash insert: User reviews for each successive installment of the film remained about the same, with a 7.6/10, 7.8/10 , and a 7.9/10 , in order of the films. (copied from previous section in my sandbox) In Japan, Berserk: The Golden Age Arc 1 - The Egg of the King brought in $594,707 with a gross of $1,348,352, and the last film in the trilogy brought in less, with an opening weekend of $280,248 and grossing $399,445.

Advent:

+watch the movies again and check with the plot-summary provided and elaborate if needed and fix sentences?

fix The Advent section the last part's not accurate

add something about the violence and mature content somewhere, because that oughta be something that's included in any description of Berserk if the plot section hasn't covered that already. +add producers and more info on who worked on da film like more specifics

* character designs by Naoyuki Onda (MAL) https://myanimelist.net/people/7427/Naoyuki_Onda

the films feature character designs by Naoyuki Onda or something of that nature in the type fix the intro, there's too many mentions of the release dates of the respective films, three times is a little too many, especially when it's already on the infobox

Berserk: The Golden Age Arc (Japanese: ベルセルク 黄金時代篇, Hepburn: Beruseruku Ōgon Jidai-hen) is a series of films, an effort to adapt the Golden Age Arc of Kentaro Miura's Berserk manga series. The project was first announced as a new anime project in September 2010 on a wraparound jacket band on volume 35 of the Berserk manga. The first two films, Berserk: The Golden Age Arc I - The Egg of the King and Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II - The Battle for Doldrey, were released in Japan in February and June 2012, with the third film, Berserk: The Golden Age Arc III - The Advent, released in February 2013. The third film also marks the first time new footage based on the manga has been animated beyond the storyline of the TV show from 1997. Viz Media has licensed all three films for a home video release. The Golden Age Arc is also available for streaming on Netflix.

* add plot blurb here probably, say it's known for its violence and mature stuff here I guess, because um...I don't know if we can assume people know what Berserk is despite its popularity in the anime and manga community, look at other Wikipedia articles with similar adaptations and see if they mansplain the plots every time or assume the reader knows things

The Japanese voice cast features Hiroaki Iwanaga as Guts (replacing Nobutoshi Canna from the original anime), Takahiro Sakurai as Griffith (replacing Toshiyuki Morikawa), and Toa Yukinari as Casca (replacing Yūko Miyamura). The English voice cast features Marc Diraison as Guts, Kevin T. Collins as Griffith, and Carrie Keranen as Casca, all reprising their roles from the original anime.

so basically add a little plot blurb in the intro at least, because whoowee there are too many mentions of the release dates we need to trim this bad boy, also the introduction kind of assumes we know what the "TV show" is so add a little context since the contributor probably won't take kindly to revising the statement. Idk, I'm stupid, why am I in college

fixing the plot stuff, phrasing, etc.

The Egg of the King
Berserk: Golden Age Arc I - The Egg of the King (ベルセルク 黄金時代篇I 覇王の卵, Beruseruku Ōgon Jidai-hen Wan Haō no Tamago)

Guts, a sword for hire, attracts the attention of the Band of the Hawk, a mercenary group, and is forced into joining the group after being defeated by Griffith, its leader. After the Hawks defeat the kingdom of Tudor's Black Ram Iron Lance Cavalry, they are recruited by Midland for its war against its rival kingdom, the Tudor Empire. During one siege, Guts and Griffith encounter the demon Nosferatu Zodd, who notices the Behelit around Griffith's neck and warns Guts that Griffith will be his doom. In time, Griffith's gradual rise in status is ill-received by the noblemen, and a failed assassination attempt by the king's brother Julius results in his murder by Guts, who was also forced to kill the noble's son Adonis to leave no witnesses. Guts, emotionally scarred by what he has done, would later hear Griffith discussing his idea of friendship with the Midland Princess Charlotte and is further unsettled to find he and the other Hawks are a means to their leader's end.

The Battle for Doldrey
Berserk: Golden Age Arc II - The Battle for Doldrey (ベルセルク 黄金時代篇II ドルドレイ攻略, Beruseruku Ōgon Jidai-hen Tsū Dorudorei Koryaku)

For three years, Guts believed his mission was to pursue Griffith's dream together with him. But after coming to understand Griffith's outlook as well as fighting 100 men (and winning), Guts realises that he would need to leave the Band of the Hawk to be considered Griffith's equal and truly be called his friend. After forming a bond with Casca while they are separated from the others, Guts and the Hawks take part in a bloody battle to capture the impenetrable Fortress of Doldrey from the Tudor Empire's army of 30,000 strong defenders. A month after capturing the fortress and winning the war, Guts parts ways with Griffith after defeating him in a duel. Griffith does not take his former ally's departure well, and in a lapse of judgment he is caught sleeping with the king's daughter, Charlotte. Charged with treason for his actions, Griffith is imprisoned in the Tower of Rebirth while the members of the Band of the Hawk are branded criminals.

The Advent
Berserk: Golden Age Arc III - The Advent (ベルセルク 黄金時代篇III 降臨, Beruseruku Ōgon Jidai-hen Surī Kōrin)

It has now been a year after Guts' duel with Griffith and his departure from the Band of the Hawk. Upon learning the Hawks have been labeled outlaws in Midland, Guts returns to aid them in freeing Griffith from the Tower of Rebirth. However, they find out that Griffith is a broken man-barely alive and rendered a mute cripple after months of physical and mental torture. When Griffith is reunited with his Behelit while attempting suicide upon realizing what he has been reduced to, a solar eclipse occurs that draws him, Guts, Casca and their comrades into another dimension where they encounter the archdemons known as the God Hand. Told that his tribulations have been leading to this moment, Griffith accepts becoming the final member of the God Hand to achieve his dream while knowing his transition requires his allies being offered as branded sacrifices. In this hopeless battle with the God Hand's monstrous horde of Apostles - former humans like Nosferatu Zodd - Guts's attempt to rescue Griffith fails as with Guts and Casca remaining as Griffith is reborn as Femto. Guts and Casca are spirited back to their world by the mysterious Skull Knight, but not without repercussions: Casca loses her sanity from the nightmarish ordeal she endured of watching her comrades' slaughter and then raped by Femto; and Guts losing his left forearm and right eye in his attempt to force their former leader off her. After leaving Casca under Rickert's care, learning his brand will subject him to nightly attacks by various fell creatures that will seek his life, Guts embarks on his journey to hunt down the Apostles and the God Hand so he can kill Griffith.
