Staks said:Did you get any goosebumps from any scenes in Berserk be it in the manga or the anime?
There was a specific scene in the Anime that did it for me... It was when Griffith (Post-torture) is watching from afar as Casca and Guts have an intimate moment. The close up on his eye was chilling!
I got goosebumps from the episode 303 "preview."

Then it hits the floor and before the light burns out you see they all have brands. An entire city was sacrificed to evil!
That's as far as I am in the manga right now and it creeped me out a lot. Mostly because it was something new I didn't expect after watching the anime first.
It was subtle and cryptic too. That's when you tend to get the most goosebumpy.

I can't believe nobody's mentioned the scene I've had in mind. The only scene that really, not just left me in awe or had me incomprehensibly squealing like a little girl, but gave me literal goosebumps was the scene where Guts turns around at Albion to see the campfires from below forming the shape of the brand. (Okay, so maybe I did incomprehensibly squeal like a little girl, but it was incomprehensible squealing about excellent writing/imagery. >>; ) It's been said a million times that some moments in Berserk are ridiculously ripe for cinematic translation, and this scene is evidence. Just think about it: a slow panning from behind Guts as he turns that reveals the campgrounds over the hillside layered with the sounds of gravel crunching beneath Guts' feet, screams as confusion and terror consume the campgrounds and, of course, the fires crackling in otherwise still night air. That's one of those scenes so delicious and nutritious you don't put in it in the trailers and clearly not just because Guts' ass would be in 98% of the frames. Seriously, though. Immediately after that scene, I wanted to give Miura a high five.
That scene was pretty good, too. >>;
