Huh... interesting...
very very interesting...
And I see Studio 4C in the text... Got my attention!
Hopefully, someone can come in and translate...
UPDATE 2
Link redacted, not worksafe!
Here's the text though:
Quote: Rumours of a second anime adaptation of epic slashing things manga Berserk have been swirling for some time, and now some supposed images of the anime have surfaced, said to be a Studio Studio 4°C project.
They are visible below:
(Images)
The images clearly show Casca, Gattsu, Puck and Zod in what look to be some artistically accomplished scenes.
The images were apparently leaked by a Studio 4°C employee, and generally have a rather poor provenance. The source warns to exercise one’s own judgment in deciding whether these are genuine signs of a new series.
Fortunately, the indications are that Dream C Club is not very good, so it is just possible Berserk mangaka Kentaro Miura may escape further entrapment…

So... there's going to be more Berserk or what? If yes, the that's awesome.

Here's a forum post on mangahelpers describing where these images came from and the claims surrounding them: http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1514115
Yeah, FH, I've seen that post too. IMO, live-action movie of Berserk would be pretty cool, actually, though it would only get the gists of the main plots in a movie timeframe (even if it's multiple movies).

I agree. Berserk is one of the rare Japanese stories that can easily be translated/adapted into Hollywood material (I guess because the setting is in medieval European style). But it would need at least 2 (or better 3) movies to even get close to the heart of the manga "changing pre-written destiny + power of evil".
Berserk Trilogy - me want!
Anyways, I wonder how much will this new anime (if there is one) cover. Major Spoiler wrote: Perhaps till the return of Griffith?

Actually, I think, if Hollow Wood was to do a live-action adaption, they'd screw it up majorly again. Too much CGI, too much "slick", too little characterization. I mean, if Jackson can succeed with LOTR, why can't some decent director do as well with Berserk? But knowing Hollow Wood, the producers and whatnot are going to overide the director's better judgement and screw up the whole thing.
