Seen all but #5. I love Arslan Senki

Arslan Senki, Berserk and LoGH are older than even the GoT novels, so GoT is like those and not the other way around.

Imho, I disliked the berserk anime due to the animation. But the manga is a masterpiece. Not as much sex as GoT, but the brutality (1/2)
boringpigeon
(2/2) from the books is intensified in the berserk manga.
