Im selling the first two Berserk dvds for $25 each or $40 for both
Berserk is a Japanese animated television series centred on a successful warrior named Guts who acts as a mercenary in medieval Europe.
Guts is a young mercenary who wields a massive sword and is a formidable opponent on the battlefield. After a short battle he is taken under the wing of a mercenary leader known as Griffith and becomes an integral part of the group. Griffith is the head of a highly successful mercenary group known as The Band of the Hawk. This band of battle-hardened warriors becomes legendary after numerous successful campaigns and the group gains the confidence of the King of Midland. The group's rise in status helps to further Griffith's ambitions for power.
Berserk is a twenty-five episode anime series that is based upon the popular Japanese manga series by Kentaro Miura. The series uses a traditional cel style animation technique and often has only minimal movement with a high number of static shots and pans across static backgrounds. Like many Japanese animated shows, this series contains a number of supernatural elements but these are considered unusual in the character's universe.
This first DVD release contains the following five episodes. I have included a very short description for each but as these may contain some very minor spoilers.
The Black Swordsman
A mysterious stranger known only as The Black Swordsman comes to town carrying a massive sword and demanding to see the Lord of the local castle. The two meet on the battlefield and the Black Swordsman proves that he is a formidable opponent while the Lord is clearly more than he first appeared.
The Band Of The Hawk
A wandering mercenary known as Guts is employed to defeat the local warrior Bazuso. Using his massive sword, speed and strength, Guts defeats Bazuso and receives a significant reward. As Guts travels to the next town he is ambushed by a group of mercenaries and a fight begins, climaxing in a fight with the group's leader Griffith.
First Battle
Guts and Griffith continue their duel and the outcome will determine both of their futures. After the duel, Guts recovers and he learns that not all members of the Band of the Hawk welcome his presence. The group is employed to destroy an enemy encampment and Guts is given a pivotal role in the attack.
The Hand Of God
Griffith discusses his motivations and ambitions for the future with Guts. As the group prepares to enter battle again, Guts remembers his past and we learn how he has come to this point in his life.
A Wind Of Swords
The Hawks enter battle again but Guts fails to follow the plan, putting himself and his men in danger. After their numerous successful missions, the King formally recognizes the Hawks and specifically Griffith, increasing their status. The group's missions continue as they attack an enemy supply base and castle.

The Sceond DVD Immortal Soldier
Zodd The Immortal
The Band of the Hawk capture an enemy stronghold but are held at bay by a single immensely strong soldier in the castle keep. This enemy soldier easily deals with five hundred of the Hawk's raiders and it appears that the legend of Zodd the Immortal is true. Zodd is an incredibly strong warrior that has reportedly been involved in battles for over a hundred years and Griffith and Guts must work together if they hope to defeat him.
The Sword's Owner
After their encounter with Zodd, both Griffith and Guts have numerous injuries that must heal. As they recuperate at the castle, the King plans to formally recognize Griffith for his efforts and he is to be raised to the peerage with the title of Count. As the war continues, the enemy enforces a strategically significant stronghold and the Hawks are sent to capture it.
Conspiracy
The Hawks implement an innovative plan to capture the heavily fortified enemy castle. After a bloody battle, the enemy castle falls and the victory pleases the King. The Hawks are then requested to provide protection for a royal hunting expedition. Jealous of the attention that the Hawks are receiving, a plan is formed to eliminate Griffith.
Assassination
While protecting the Princess during a bow hunting expedition, an assassination attempt is made against Griffith. Luckily he survives the attack, but there is some evidence as to who is behind the attempt. After confirming his suspicions about the assassination attempt, Griffith asks Guts to take care of the situation.
