Description: The worst enemy of the night - is one of its own…A secret war brews in the night - a war where humanity is only a pawn. The Hellsing Organization deploys in the shadows to protect the mortal world. But now, artificially spawned vampires have appeared, forcing Hellsing to call in their ultimate weapon - the rogue vampire, Arucard! After he transforms the dying Seras Victoria into a vampire, they join forces to combat the undead army, as well as her own newfound hunger!
Very generic. While the story for this anime is somewhat interesting, it is not very well planned out. The animation and musical score are lacking. I also thought that the script did not translate very well into English. To your average anime fan, this is probably a good anime. I personally did not like it.
Great series but you can get it a lot cheaper elswhere Ok I just wanted to post this mainly not as a review but as a warning to those looking at buying it on Amazon. Check out [...] if you are looking at this item its only like $[...] for the box set new. I don't know what some people are thinking when they post prices. I'd feel bad if I gave no review so here it is.
If you are a Vampire Hunter D or Black Blood Brothers fan then you will love this series. Basic premis is that Master Vampire Allucard is the ultimate weapon against ghouls, necromancer and things that go bump in the night. His powers progress through the series similar to those in Trinity Blood ie he keeps restricitions on his power and only release certain restrictions against worthy opponets. The story line is a bit choppy at spots but the animation is very interesting. Certain characters are drawn in different perspectives and Allucards transformations look like something straight out of your nightmares. I was a bit disappointed when it ended because frankly I wanted more. But don't let that sway you because any good series should leave you wanting more. Voice dialog is decent drawing varies on the character but it should keep you interested and for a blood and guts action flick there is enough of a plot line to get you curious. If anybody has heard of any other Hellsing release please give a shout but to the best of my knowledge this is the only set there is and nothing new is in production.
"So, you shoot because I'm not human?" I have always had a tendency to like stories involving vampires, so picking this one up was a no brainer. What I found was an anime with very good graphics, really great action, mesmerizing characters and a highly addictive storyline. The fact that the anime does not follow the manga closely was not a big issue for me. There are some differences here and there and considerable deviations in terms of the order of presenting events, but I thought that the final product in the anime was very good.
One of the main things I liked about this anime is its "cool" main character. Alucard -I still can't believe the translators in the subtitles went with Arucard! Is it that hard to spot the anagram of Dracula? - is a powerful vampire that works for the Hellsing organization, helping solve issues with the undead. He carries a slick weapon and dresses in a very peculiar way. He has a great sense of humor and enjoys facing challenging opponents. On top of that, several of the characters he interacts with, such as Seras Victoria, the police officer turned into a vampire by Alucard, or Integra Hellsing, the measured but ruthless head of the Hellsing organization, provide added interest to the series.
Next, I am going to follow this up with the new set of OVAs released under Hellsing Ultimate, which are supposed to follow the manga more closely and have improved animation. If the original is any indication of the quality of this improved version, I am going to have one hell of a time!
Great show For any one in to good action with a good plot line to it this is a good bet for you. This show is a bit more grafic than the anime most people in this country are used to, but it's not as bad as Ninja Scroll, or others along that line. All and all it's 13 episodes of realy good anime.
Terrific! One of the best boxes I could ever buy. The story is great and if u like a mix of violence, sexy and intriguing stuff u'll love Hellsing. There's no better words to describe it. Wish I could see more than just 13 chapters, the story is so good to finish on a 13th chapter. (13th.. hm..)
Well, cutting the sad part of 13 it's a nice box that u must see. Just GREAT. Love it.
