I realize what you guys mean, the Golden Arc is a masterpiece, very difficult to top that. But, in regard to what happens next, READ the manga. I've only watched the new anime series from Berserk because I'm a fan, and I wan't to experience Berserk more in anime. But the manga is A LOT better. Nonetheless, it does feel over the top fantasy and it feels very sudden considering it makes a huge switch. But then again, it makes sense, no? After all that happens. The story did start with post eclipse as Guts was hunting the apostles. Mmmm.. I really don't know, I have mixed feelings about post eclipse. I like it a lot but I also agree with a lot of people. My only wish is that Kentaro Miura (creator of Berserk) does not kick the bucket before he finishes it ^^
