ok, so im usually an anime watcher only, but ive just watched berserk and i saw that it randomly cut off(most people say thats just where the story really begins) so i decided to read the manga to find out what happens. Should i just read the whole thing(even parts ive watched) or could someone tell me where to start where the anime ended(it was the part where griffith was raping kjaskar and gatsu was being held down)

Read the whole thing...I haven't watched the anime, but from what I've heard there are pretty many differences.

about the Berserk anime from wikipedia:

It covered the first thirteen volumes of the manga including the first two arcs (Black Swordsman & Golden Age). It chronicles how Guts served Griffith in the Band of the Hawk (Golden Age Arc). The TV adaptation made many changes and although the story was taken largely intact, some characters, and the most violent or brutal scenes, were modified or removed. The anime covers volumes five through eight of the manga most accurately, other volumes were changed, and some material, such as volume 11, was removed completely due to the graphic depictions of content that would only build upon themes that were to be continued after the storyline in the anime had concluded. Another example of omitted content is the battle against the count in volumes 1-3, where Guts and Femto are reunited for the first time since the eclipse. These changes were approved by the series creator Kentaro Miura. Due to the elimination of key characters in the manga, the anime focuses on developing and emphasizing themes of friendship and ambition more so than causality and the supernatural.
