Berserk is the 1997 television adaptation of Kentaro Miura's dark fantasy manga, first published in 1989. Composer Susumu Hirasawa created the series' distinctive electronic and choral score, while Wait So Long became associated with its closing credits and reflective tone. The anime has remained influential for decades, and its music continues to circulate in fan edits and retrospectives. As new generations discover Guts' story through manga reissues and later adaptations, the ending theme endures as a quiet counterpoint to the violence and fate that define Berserk.
O tym dźwięku
The ending theme from the 1997 Berserk anime, performed by Susumu Hirasawa. Fans use this melancholic closing song for edits, tributes and anime moments.
Wait So Long is the soft, haunting closing theme heard at the end of episodes of the 1997 Berserk anime adaptation. Led by a gentle acoustic arrangement and a weary, reflective vocal, it contrasts sharply with the series' brutal battles and betrayals. The mood is quiet rather than triumphant, lingering on loss, endurance and the bond between Guts, Casca and the Band of the Hawk. Played after a heavy episode or edit, it lets the weight settle, giving viewers a moment of sorrow and calm before the story continues.
