Fan made films based off anime are usually hit or miss, with a lot more falling on the miss side; well, I guess the same goes for professionally made ones as well. When they are a hit, like this video, it feels like such an accomplishment; David kicking the crap out of Goliath per se. This Berserk short film was created by Francesco Sanseverino and Deus Ex Machina Studio, and features a story that is based off of the manga of the same name.

The cosplay by itself is wonderful, perhaps one of the most authentic Guts cosplay in the world! However, I only wish that Francesco Sanseverino, who played Guts in this film, was older; Guts can’t be a twenty-something year old. Please Hollywood, please look at what he made, and do what he did. See how he didn’t make Guts into Keanu Reeves or a blonde grade-schooler with a mullet; and notice how it was still good even though nothing was changed? Yup, it really does work.
