Title: [Anime] Hellsing
Post by: Tealize on July 16, 2010, 07:20:30 AM
I watched the first two episodes of this at Anime Expo last week.  It looks really wicked and I can't wait to watch the rest of it.  It seems to be one of those few anime series that people prefer in English (I'm assuming because of the english/irish/american accents that you can't hear when it's in Japanese). 

Basically Hellsing is a vampire anime.  There's this vampire, Alucard, that is employed by the Hellsing agency to keep other lethal vampires at bay.  He has an assistant vampire that he created too and her name is Seras.  There's this other Irish guy (I don't remember his name, sorry XD) that works for the church and is trying to kill Alucard and his agency even though they are trying to do good.  It's really action packed and bloody :)

Anyone else watch Hellsing? From what I understand it's a pretty popular anime.

I TiVoed the Hellsing anime back in '05. I have it stored on a vhs somewhere around the house. It's been a while since i've seen but from what I remember, it is very good and is fairly under-rated in North America. I hate that a real sequel was never made.
 
The last scene is especially irritating, now that I know for a fact that a season 2 will almost, inevitably, never be made.
 
Mi brother has a few manga volumes.. not sure if it's still ongoing.. but I couldnt get into it.
 
I do remember a few adult themes, so neither isn't for everyone.
 
Kinda surprised there are still anime watchers out there that hadnt seen it before.

It's not bad, but I have to say that hellsing unlimited was much better than regular hellsing. I had watched all of the episodes of hellsing and it was good but I have to say the way they ended it was kinda stupid. It's like, "That's what you leave with?!" EVIL!

A big problem you'll find with the Hellsing series is when you get to the OAV series Hellsing Ultimate. It ends on a note in which makes you a little angry. Whether Funimation decided to drop the project or not I don't know, but it just didn't seem finished. Many people have complain about the same things as well.

Good luck with it though. I wasn't really a fan. I don't much get into vampire stories. However, it was created with the help of Geneon Studios and they are always known for fantastic work and animation.

Um, that is true but that is the same for the original I mean it ended with integra locked up and alucard came and I guess was trying to get her to change into a vamp. To me that ending sucked, and as for the anime if you want to see the ending I think you can still read the manga's. Even though it won't really be exactly the same as the anime it could still leave you with something better, <.< I'm not really into hellsing anymore all that much i only watch it now and again. So I don't know how far they are going with the manga.
