Spotify Officially Adds One of Anime's Best Soundtracks
Spotify houses countless songs and soundtracks that have helping to populate the streaming platform's ever-expanding library, and the anime world is no different. With major anime titles such as Dragon Ball Z, Cowboy Bebop, and many others making their way to Spotify, an anime classic has also joined the ranks, hinting at the arrival of the series on Netflix thanks to a recent partnership that was struck between the streaming service and Nippon TV.
The anime franchise in question is Berserk, with the original OST for the 1997 anime series now available on Spotify and allowing fans of the adaptation the opportunity to return to the epic tunes that helped introduce many to Guts, Griffith, Casca, and the other members of the Band of the Hawk. The soundtrack for the first-ever anime adaptation following the Black Swordsman was composed by Susumu Hirasawa and helped create quite the atmosphere for the series that is still regarded as one of the best in any anime to this day. Following this original anime, Berserk would return to the small, and silver, screen as a new television adaptation arrived in 2016 and a trilogy of films retold the story of the Golden Age Arc which was covered by the 1997 anime.
Songs That Go Berserk
You can listen to the complete Berserk Original Soundtrack on Spotify here, with the series only a few days away from making a return on Netflix thanks in part to the deal struck between Netflix and Nippon which will also see anime classics like Monster and Ouran High School Host Club making their way to the platform.
At present, the Berserk Memorial Edition is releasing new episodes, though this series is essentially the original movie trilogy chopped up into episodic installments. However, one major piece of news with the arrival of this anime series has been the official Berserk website revealing a countdown timer that might be hinting that Guts and his fellow warriors might be receiving a new anime series in the future. With there still being plenty of stories and battles that have yet to make their way into an anime format, Band of the Hawk fans are at the edge of their seats.
