You can watch the new Berserk series that just started coming out last year on crunchyroll for free. There are ads though. I think that the second season just started airing in Japan recently. I don't know if it is available in the US yet. You need to finish the movie trilogy first though as it takes place after chronologically.

When I first saw the movie there were some details that didn't make sense to me. Like the flashback that Guts has while unconscious after first meeting Griffith. That only made sense to me after I started reading the manga, and it is actually pretty important to his back story. I don't know if watching the original series that came out in the late 90's would help fill in those gaps or even if you would be able to find it.

Every version of the animated medium does something better than each new iteration I believe, but all of them do something worse than the others and leave out important parts of the story. I really can't believe the new series glossed over the black swordsman stuff and put it in one episode.

The old anime started with old guts after the eclipse and then went to the golden age, which I think is the best way to start it, but left out puck and skull knight among a ton of other important parts.

The movies are just way too condensed, but at least they had skull knight.

I really can't get over the terrible cgi animation of the new series and the movies. At least the new series are moving forward with the story and not just repeating the golden age again. But CLANG! Is so dumb. I don't know whose idea that was.

I'll always recommend the manga over any of the anime versions.
