Synopsis: There are very few brave or even foolish enough to stand against the demons who rule the realm with an iron fist. One such soul is the Black Swordsman―Guts. Hunted by ghosts and wielding a weapon much too big to be called a sword, the imposing mountain of a man is feared by demons far and wide. After an encounter with a cursed relic from his past, Guts looks back to his demon-free days fighting alongside the ranks of the Band of the Hawk and their charismatic leader―Griffith. OLM (Pokémon, Odd Taxi) and Director Naohito Takahashi (Steel Angel Kurumi, To Heart) forge fierce friendships, passionate romance, and heartbreaking betrayals in this brutal tale of sword and sorcery.
Description: This complete collection of the dark fantasy classic includes all 25 episodes presented in high definition with the original Japanese language and English subtitles alongside the original English dub!
