Forum rules
Please observe the following unique rules for this forum:
Please limit your new threads (not replies) to one per week. If you have several new videos to announce, create one thread for all the videos. (Note: if you forget one you can edit your post!)
Offsite links are allowed, but you are required to have a catalog entry for that video as well. Threads announcing videos that do not contain a catalog entry will be moved to the Awaiting Catalog Entry sub-forum and will be deleted in 2 weeks if an entry is not created.
When posting announcements, it is recommended that you include links to the catalog entries (using the video ID) in your post.
Videos that do not contain anime are allowed to be announced in the Other Videos section and are not required to have catalog entries.

In all honesty, Berserk (even the new one) isn't anywhere near as graphic as Hellsing Ultimate and that is allowed. Nudity is fine as long as it's not sexual so the blue lady showing off her titties for a quick second isn't a big deal.
Unless the hosting rules have changed since I last read them, amputations and decapitations are forbidden (which there are several of in my video.)

Has this policy been relaxed?
I'd say that yes, the rules have become a bit outdated. They've been outdated for quiiiite a long time at this point.
With this series in particular, while there is a decent amount of blood spray it's not actually very graphic. Hell, Akira makes me squeam more than anything in Berserk ever has. As I stated before, if they were up to date then Hellsing Ultimate videos would have absolutely no place to go, along with Elfen Lied. Even the original Hellsing had Alucard chopping a man's legs off (which is in the new series) and that has been a popular source for as long as it's been around. This rule was primarily put in place for anime such as Wicked City which features INCREDIBLY GRAPHIC scenes of things like people getting ripped in half with emphasis on their skin tearing as their organs spill out. It's a rule that was put in place and the early 2000s and has not been properly updated or adapted to meet the current standard of anime since then.
I could really go on and on listing sources that have been allowed that are much more graphic and violent than Berserk.
In fact, this should put your fears to rest.
That's my own video and it's got amputations, eye gouging, limb snapping, and quite a bit more :3
