New Berserk Anime Teasers Online

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
The homepage for Kentarou Miura’s Berserk manga has begun streaming two of the five new anime teaser trailers narrated by singer/actor Gackt. The precise format of the new Berserk production – TV, OVA, movie – has not been revealed yet.

The CG footage of Zod in the second teaser looksa bit stiff, but there’s a good chance that the footage on display was actually produced two years ago and may not reflect the production quality of the project in its current status.
