Let me start by giving what I love about this anime
The concept of a magic like gluttony very cool
The talking sword is funny and interesting
The main characters voice and some others ( like the sword ) is very good and the skill to change weapons from a bow to a sword and others is very interesting
Now the bad parts
The animation is very very bad the fights since are horrible even a sparring match can't even be decent in animation
Some of the dialog is very cringe not gonna lie which makes it hard to watch the show completely and the characters at meh some are interesting like the girl with the giant axe others not so much
But at the end of the day I still watched it till the end because i had nothing to do
The concept is very good but thats it
Not recommended

If Solo Leveling had more plot and no follow-through. 5/10
TL:DR; A beaten-down, weak guy gets handed some incredible skills and proceeds to make everything more complicated than it should be. It's not a revenge fantasy because the skill made me do it!
The Review:
This series, both visually and narratively, has a lot going for it. The problem is, it doesn't really explore any of the world it sets up. In the very first episode, we're presented with a society split in two - the skilled elite and the normies. The peasants are generally stuck where they are without abilities to help propel them into adventuring or more lucrative work. Then there are the best of the best, the Holy Knights, who use their power to put the commoners in their place. Sounds kinda interesting, right?
Unfortunatel…

I would definitely recommend this if you are into op characters who starts as a weak but has a hidden power locked inside of him. Here we get to see some romance without having harem. Mc only likes one girl here. Only thing I don't like is there is no season 2.
Here the story revolves around a boy who received a sin as a power which comes with huge advantage and also has big drawback. Mc doesn't know how to you his powers first and nobody has knowledge what his skill does other than giving him more hunger. So he has to work hard just to fill his stomach.
Story is somewhat predictable I guess but it definitely has its unique story which makes it a lot more enjoyable. Animation is good. There i lots action and adventure involved. FMC is very kind and strong here. She liked mc from the begin…

Just another random fantasy action anime, doesn’t do anything better than any of the rest. Full of random cringy dialogue, and plot points that are just buns. Character designs are decent. The setting seemed decent, animation was completely mid. A lot of strange choices with these ones, another of those anime that make you say how the hell did they decide doing this one was a good idea. There seem to be like anywhere of 5 to 10 of these each year that are just so bad and go no where that make you wonder if they just like to set their money on fire or something. I’m not sure why Crunchyroll carries this thing.
No real reason to watch something like this over anything else. If you like this go watch solo leveling, or that slime one, they’ll blow your socks off.

Berserk of Gluttony is an anime that deserves to never be spoken of or discussed in any context. It is a complete nothing-burger of a show, that has left me feeling angry at myself for having wasted all this time watching a show that was so mid I can't even pick a specific point of contention to be angry about.
Fate Graphite has as much personality as the graphite in a mechanical pencil. Actually, there is more nuance and complexity to a mechanical pencil, as they can come in different sizes or brands which unique uses. Roxy Whateverhernameis is a painfully generic blonde female waifubait. I cannot even muster up enough adjectives to describe her really, because none of the characters have any depth to them beyond just a single word like "nice" or "edgy" ect. Can't forget the necessary 4…

What could have been a dark badass story about a guy cursed with the sin gluttony, who devours the souls of the wicked to quell his hunger, instead spends alot of its time on some lame cringe-worthy "love story" between two very dull uninteresting characters.
In fact there are no interesting characters in this. People are either wayyyy too nice, or the bad guys are @ssholes just because we need a cliche group of characters who are jerks to the MC. Its really forced.
I was hoping this would be like The Seven Deadly Sins only good...but nope, its not. They both suck.
Plot: The main character Fate Graphite is cursed with the useless skill of gluttony. Meaning he is always hungry. However turns out he isn't hungry for food, he is hungry for souls. One night he kills a criminal and absorbs h…

This is another isekai trash featuring an OP main character. In my honest opinion, it is one of the better ones I have seen.
If you like "Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, or "Our Last Crusade", this anime is somewhat similar featuring an OP, likeable main character, and his competent counterpart telling a different story. This is similar to other isekai trash featuring an OP main character, but one of the better ones as it suffers a few negatives.
The main character is very likeable, and this anime appears to feature more than "main character is OP, slays everything effortless and either tries to hide it or is oblivious to what he can take down." The main plot is romantically driven, but as a secondary driver... and does not feature a harem. The powerful nature of our character has downs…

This show is criminally underrated. Not sure where the hate is flowing from. Perhaps it transcends its trashy OP MC slop and into the realms of respectable anime like Toriko, Naruto, Bleach, and other highly sophisticated offerings.
First, to enjoy this, you have to turn your brain off. That should be a given, considering the genre. So, it should be no different than 99% of other animes. Second and despite its title, it's not an edgy villain tale. Finally, it has no harem or ecchi elements. That last one may emotional shake some viewers who are accustomed to le wacky bobs bouncing awry and red-faced floozies.
The negatives: it doesn't stop and smell the roses; very little time is spent on training arcs or learning the ropes of his powers. The MC pretty much embraces it, while learning o…

To understand my thoughts on this series, you need to understand my thoughts on the past few seasons of anime and how much of a disappointment much of it has been in general,
Anime that lost their direction, or anime that tried to stand out by either putting a new twist on things but but just ended up being boring, or looked to be edgy, and forgot that they also had to be engaging.
Not to mention the amount of anime that have stumbled and lack consistency, that have left me feeling unsatisfied or unfulfilled.
To use food analogies, it's like being served the salad as a main dish
Now I won't deny that we've had some really good steak getting served up, but not often enough
Berserk of Glutton is not a steak, but it is a burger, and that is all it needs to be
It doesn't try to do anything…

This is an extremely generic power fantasy that, as others have mentioned, does nothing remarkable. While it does hit all of the cliches, the show stands to be entertaining if you are seeking a mindless show where an overpowered MC does overpowered MC things. Since this is my favorite genre, I thoroughly enjoyed the show since it has everything I want in a fantasy show. If something more complex and beautiful is sought, then this is certainly not the show. But like all shows of this genre, it has a specific audience that will love it. This is not to be watched for groundbreaking animation or storytelling, but generic action and magic that is done entertainingly.

I chose recommendation but don't really recommend it, this anime is still good enough to watch.
Before the release I had a little hope for this anime, even though the score was still at 6, and I felt this anime was not worth watching, but after seeing the main character, I think this is still worth watching.
Advantages:
The main character starts from a humiliated status and is not wanted by many people, but slowly becomes strong with his sword partner, MC is not naive, doesn't think too much, there is no drama, if there is a problem it is immediately resolved without much unclear pleasantries.
The storyline also focuses on the main story, unlike anime which suddenly changes the story plot in the middle of the episode. The comedy is also good enough to make you laugh, it's not a comedy…

I think this is an alright show. However, there are some things that I dislike about this show. The setting is great, with the whole "Stat System" stuff since I do like isekai/fantasy anime and manga that have it. I just think that Fate as a character is kind of unlikeable. Funny to say that I like Greed(his sword) more as a character since the banter and chats he has with Fate are what kept me going for the story. Coming back to Fate, the person who wrote this story really could've done better with him. Fate just feels too edgy and that doesn't seem to keep me involved with him as a character. I usually dislike characters like that, but there are times where it works. Still, I liked Roxy and her benevolent attitude. She's definitely what people call "Waifu material". The combat scenes for…

The anime started fine at first but as it progressed it lost its charm. Moreover it was more there is food in front why not get em without struggle. Also the story doesn’t make any sense. It’s like the story doesn’t exist. I was excited after watching the trailer but it dissipated quickly after watching 5 episodes. I liked the opening and ending song by the way. Overall I won’t recommend someone to watch unless they want waste time. It could’ve been better if the author focused more on story instead of power. After watching the whole it felt like it was written on a whim. I don’t mean hurt the author but I was expecting a lot more. Character designs are the only thing that is good. I would rate character design 9/10.

It's clear where all the character designs and some ideas in the story are taken from, the list is long, however it still works well enough to have an engaging story that keeps moving forward. It has no harem and no resemblance of it. Both main characters and their interactions are fun enough to follow and overall I didn't feel bored or disappointed by watching it. In fact it's decent enough to check the next season when it comes out.
Obviously it's lacking in art and animation quality, feels very budget, but it brought enough entertainment that was expected of a show of this caliber.
Has nice cruel moments, doesn't have stupid "gotcha" moments that are tiresome when they happen in many stories, a straightforward and honest in this regard storytelling.
A good example that rehashed ideas…

This was a good watch for the season. Simple As.
While this isn't a game-changer for all future anime to follow, it is a decent action anime with a respectable story.
However, this is where the mixed feelings come in; it is a bit disappointing with how much potential this story has, and how little the anime seems to make use of it.
This doesn’t make it a bad anime outright; it's just disappointing considering what it could've been with better production or a different approach to pacing.
- Continue on for more reasoning -
The most disappointing aspect of “Boushoku no Berserk” (shortened to “Berserk” from now on) is its execution. It seems somewhat lacking in its exploration of the story's possibilities. For instance, the concept of the “gluttony skill” and the diplomacy and politics w…

Best generic anime that i have saw, there's no exceptional thing in this history and the animation is not the best, but is a very enjoyable show. The dark fantasy scenery is very suitable for the feeling of the show, and the relationship betwen Fate and Roxy is funtional romance cliche of a impossible love facing the problems of a hard world. So if you like cliche dark fantasy animes this is for you.
Regarding the production, the animation was very static, specialy during the fights, but earn some points with me for not use a bad 3D animation.
About the soundtrack, for me is the best of this anime, both the opening and the ending are amazing, I always watched both during the episode. The background soundtrack wasn't good as the op or the ed but was competent and suits well the anime.

Berserk of Gluttony — this ain't your usual late Kentaro Miura's Berserk levels of violence and gore. It's just another one of those LN titles that just screams generic edgelord levels of "zero to hero" predictable redemption arcs for the oppressed.
Written by novelist Ichika Isshiki, Boushoku no Berserk a.k.a Berserk of Gluttony is yet another dark fantasy Syosetu-turned-LN series that you've most likely caught by perchance of something interesting, but what it (and now the anime adaptation) amounts to is basically a revenge story in the sea of yet another similar one this season (see Hametsu no Oukoku a.k.a The Kingdoms of Ruin) that likes to take the idea of revenge and glorify it for the weak MC who has yet to reach their redemption arc to save those that brought him to where they are…

Not Berserk.
If you’ve ever felt slightly self-conscious about the name your parents gave you at birth, feel comfort in the fact that it will never be as hilariously stupid as “Fate Graphite”, the main protagonist of Berserk (not that one) of Gluttony, an anime 100% less generational manga than it’s promotional title font tries to emulate to trick weebs into watching it, and 100% more *sigh* light novel garbage.
Fate is one of those born with a deadly sin. The sin of Gluttony leaves Fate in a constant state of hunger, always eating but never satiated. It's not until one night when his hunger takes over and he eats a man who tries to kill him that he suddenly feels full. After discovering this pleasure and satisfaction he goes out into the world, eating monsters and the corrupt holy knig…

I liked the world, and world building. Particularly the concept of forbidden skills and the persecution that comes with it. I can relate to that as a POC who follows non traditional religious beliefs, and persecuted for it. The big issue is Fate is the most over powered MC I have ever seen. Not just his gluttony skill, that's cool, I meant Greed's various forms and powers. It's so ridiculous that I had to check to see if this was based on a video game. None of the characters are likable or memorable save Fate. There isn't much of a story, the action becomes pointless when Greed is just a transformation from victory and the lore behind the deadly skills is ignored. The worst part is the end because nothing is presented that even suggests it could end any other way. Watch Redo of Healer inst…

Berserk of Gluttony is not particularly revolutionary, but it is a very enjoyably dark fantasy watch that motivated me to go out and purchase the LN after just a few episodes and one of my favourite shows of Fall 2023.
What do I mean when I say something is not revolutionary, but still very enjoyable? In simple terms, generic≠bad. Berserk of Gluttony has a lot of the usual fantasy tropes that we see in modern light novels and anime, but those tropes exist for a reason. Because they’re entertaining and when done right, make for a great viewing experience. For me, that’s how I felt about this show. Yea, there’s the rags to riches MC underdog story that we’re used to, the shitty nobles who make life for everyone around them miserable, the dark plot going on behind the scenes, etc. But, it ju…
