Seriously underrated in the wider anime community, this is a wonderful story told very well. The character of Guts is utterly compelling, and his development is just flawless, which makes the emotional stakes and the gut punch moments all the more impactful. Casca as well is a great character, one of the truly great anime women of the 90s. The production is dated but still very enjoyable, I like the art style and the fight direction even though it is mostly static. It must be said that the music is godly, several iconic tracks. The acting in English, Japanese and Russian (Which I've heard snippets of) is really good. Watch this anime.
