Okay, so I know you're gonna hate me for this one.. but I watched the 3D version one:

Berserk

I only like it because of the concept and story, the animation and such were crazy bad xD
I will watch the 97 version, I have it on my planned list. It will probably be 100 times better :D

Thank you.

Gosh, watched it... it became a favorite right away. Truly an anime that is special.
