The Berserk manga works a lot like a classic epic - it tells the adventures of a band of heroes over the course of multiple years.
The original anime followed the Golden Age Arc, which captured the Band Of The Hawk at the height of their prominence. You were able to witness the rise of these soldiers and how they worked together.
Now, in the new series, you get a chance to witness what happened after they disbanded. Guts takes much of the responsibility of the group, and that weight is a lot for one man to bear.
