Gonna shill for Berserk again (will try to move on to another anime next time, I promise).
There are so many awesome soundtracks in Berserk (even in the 2016 anime), but this is just one song I keep coming back to. It would’ve been so easy to give Guts a typical ‘badass’ song (well, he is. And I’m all for giving him a badass theme: He’s a monster that eats monsters). But this song just so perfectly encapsulates the core of his character and the essence of Berserk’s story. A man of no ambition to speak of, he endures the harsh cruelty of the world and takes pride in his own humanity, in spite of everything. Guts is the quintessential anti-hero: He represents the ferocity of the human spirit, leads by example, lending his strength to others and shows them how to stand on their own two feet. He understands better than anyone how life is suffering but you must continue marching forward. For he is the struggler.
