I've been playing a lot of Dark Souls lately, and it's made me want to get into Berserk.
Where's a good place to start? Is the anime as good as the manga? If so, are the English dubs any good?
most people will say the manga.
only problem with that is the first 3 vols are a slog.
i started with the anime, decided i loved it and then read the manga.
yes the new anime is super good you should definitely watch that
not op here. what about the new movies?

They speed through the 'Golden age arc', essentially the same as the old anime.
Pretty, but you lose out on some of the slower nuances and character development to speed things along. IF you them go back and reread the manga.
Started with the manga because I really don't have time to watch anime these days. It was good, I didn't mind the slow ass flashback because I just treated it like a different series. I was almost disappointed to get back to the present.

Manga. What I've saw of the anime doesn't make justice to the manga not to mention one of the best arcs the lost children apparently wasn't nor will be animated

Three words: Read the manga.
It's the only way to properly take in the grandeur of Berserk's art and story. The 90s anime series is ok, everything else is rubbish.
Don't fucking watch any adaptations of this manga, just read it, it's a master piece.

You start it it at the start like anything else you piece of shit.

Read the manga. You can also watch the 97 one or just download the OST and try listening to it while reading. Stay away from the movies.
Can't help you with the last part. Subs are already garbage enough as it is, so I don't see why anyone would willingly choose an even worse form of translation unless they have some disability.
