Hellsing

Here are some key points to why I like this series: Stylistic animation. Entertaining dialog. A feast for the eye--that is if you like this style of animation rendering. Imaginative way of presenting the characters' power.

It's a fun series to watch--- it's not pretentious, not trying to be deep, or to convey some life philosophy. It's like a roller-coaster ride. The plot is interesting. Even though it's not entirely unpredictable, there were moments of delightful surprises.

The series is just long enough to tell the tale, instead of dragging on with senseless episodes. Each episode contributes to either the development of the story or of the characters.

All in all, it's a fun animation if you don't mind seeing animated and exaggerated violence and lots of blood.

I'm in to all movies and sorry to say that Anime movies stands for among the minor parts of my interests. However, a good movie is a good movie, in this case series.

This is a story about the struggle between Vampires etc. and the Hellsing incorporation with some gory violence and blood so most dumb people would put this among horror movies. Hellsing isn't really scary or anything of the like, the reason why this is classified as a horror is as simple as this; it's a story about vampires. No matter how stupid that sounds. The thing is that Anime series overall do have another side where the authors let's you inside the story where you're falling for the characters. I'd categorize this as Action/Drama/Thriller, altogether.

As I said earlier, I'm really amazed in the way the authors are revealing the characters all the way through as you follow the 13 episodes, a little difference from lots of other similar series and movies. Marvelous, but the real thing is Arucard! Slowly revealed as the cold, arrogant, quite bored and stiff creature that is continuously in seek for a perfect match, a worthy enemy and a real challenge. Taking the situations lightly while processing and reshaping Ceres Victoria through the episodes. I could write tons of more but you people probably rather see the movie than having me destroying your definition of the characters, so I'll stop this right away!

But over all, these Vampire series doesn't really feel like it's got a start until the last episodes where the real stuff kicks off and leaps straight upwards. Truthfully, I think this would make a great pre-story or opening to another fifty episodes or so...

However these Hellsing series has an absolutely stunning tense and as mentioned earlier, the characters are really a part of yourself as you follow the story.

Don't hesitate to view this, clearly an 8/10. //Magnus Vedin

This is by far the best vampire series I have ever seen. I'm not much into anime, but this is a must see for vampire movie lovers. I loved it so much I bought the Manga and the DVD (different story lines through). Alucard is a slightly insane vampire in the service of the Hellsing Organization. The mission of the Hellsing Organization is to "search and destroy" creatures of darkness that threaten the innocent. Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing is Alucard's master. Sir Integra is a beautiful woman with an indomitable spirit. The byplay between these two is beautifully done. They snipe at each other constantly, but will back each other to the death. This is a show about honor, integrity, humanity and never giving up. The bad part??? Only 13 episodes.

One of the best anime I've seen. Ratings for all 13 episodes,

Ep 1 ~ 8/10; Ep 2 ~ 8/10; Ep 3 ~ 8/10; Ep 4 ~ 8/10; Ep 5 ~ 8/10; Ep 6 ~ 8/10; Ep 7 ~ 8/10; Ep 8 ~ 9/10; Ep 9 ~ 10/10; Ep10 ~ 8/10; Ep11 ~ 9/10; Ep12 ~ 9/10; Ep13 ~ 8/10

Bags of atmosphere (the British - especially London - setting is perfect). All the vocal performances are spot-on (English dub), the artwork is great, the plot is intriguing, and the mythology of the Hellsing Organisation, the Iscariot Order, the Round Table (very X-Files), and the vampires/freaks/ghouls is pretty deep. Love Hellsing's secret ties to the British military (SAS), police (D11), and security services (MI-5). Not wild about the beginning or end titles music, but some of the incidental music is great. Insanely consistent. Overall rating, 8.5/10.

This anime is not your run of the mill standard anime. What "Hellsing", brings to the table is an anime with some class. The voice actors/actresses for the dubbed version are brilliant and the story is one of a kind. The battles fought are always excellent in there own ways. The only real complaint I can say is that there are at some points in the show where it feels a bit stale, but for only brief moments. In addition the sound track is also perfect for the show, from the intro to the ending.

I would highly recommend this anime to anyone and hopefully they too can enjoy the vampire anime known as "Hellsing"
