I digged a video trailer of the 3rd anime "Eclispe" though in my opinion the anime sux and doesn't reflect 1/3 of the manga "juicyness".
There are many conclusions you can make after reading the manga cause it full of phylosphic reference and sounds like a greek tragedy.
What arrived to me is:
How much is a man willing to sacrifice to reach his ambitions and dreams? Unlike the other mangas out there example Naruto, Onepiece ecc the main character Gatsu, Guts, has to continuosly sacrifice something his: sanity, love, happiness, friends and life. He pretty seems like evil in person cause he lost his humanity in order to reach his dream. The funny thing is that his dream is to kill the antagonist or better coprotagonist whose name is Griffith and later on Phemt, Wings of the night.
Why is Guts dream that of killing Griffith? Simple Griffith ambition is immense, in other to reach his dream (create his own Kingdom) and escape a upcoming death he sacrificed his: friends, sanity, beliefs, life, Gatsu son, Gatsu love and Gatsu too to some godlike entities. He then also became a godlike entity afterwards he reincarnated himself in human form and was able to convince the whole world he was a pure angel, their saviour, a sort of Jesus in few words while in reality he is a demon. Very evil one.
On the other hand the one who looks like a demon and everyone hates is Gatsu.
