In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law?
Is it like the hand of God hovering above?
At least it is true and man has no controll, even over his own will. In medieval times war raged throughout the countryside. Feudal lords would give large sums of money to mercinaries who could rid them of their enemies. One such mercinary is Guts. He weilds a sword almost larger than he is and holds tramendous strength and courage. When he joins a band of mercinaries known as the Hawk, he finds a purpose to fight for other than money and helps the Hawk to become the most feared enemy on the battlefield. This anime is adapted from the manga of the same name created by Kentaro Miura. Warning: This show is not suitable for persons under the age of 16 (at a minimum). It is rated so because of: extreme vilence, bloody, nudity, course language and mature content.
