Summary: Awesome series
Review: Hellsing may have only 13 (yes its 13, not twelve, I have seen all of them)episodes, but it is still one of the best animes I have ever seen. It kind of reminds me of Trigun for some reason, except minus the comedy part.
In my opinion, the whole usage of Vampires as a storyline was set out alot better than Vampire hunter D or any of the other vampire anime movies. Alucard (In the official version his name is spelled Arucard but it really make sense since backwards Arucard is Dracura not Dracula) is just one bad...guy and the fight scenes are really cool. The show has an interesting art style and the frequent use of the color red and black really creates a good image. 3 episodes or not, this is one show you cannot miss.

Summary: Alucard the coolest vampire
Review: I really enjoyed watching this anime. Alucard is one of the coolest vampires that I have seen in a while. When you watch Hellsing you enter into the world of Alucard. A world where anything is possible and where all impure souls are destroyed. Alucard takes great pleasure in his work. Seras Victoria is a young police woman that actually looks like a real police woman. She is stout and muscular just right for combat. She drives the pulsing heart of Hellsing. A little shaky at times but determined to follow Alucard's every command referring to him at all times as Master. Personally I think she wants to be his slave forever. I don't know just a guess.
Check out Hellsing it is an anime that will blow your mind! Of course younger viewers under age 16 might find it somewhat disturbing but for the rest of you out there watch this anime!!!! Hellsing is amazingly cool!!!!!!

Summary: A good example of anime
Review: Despite the fact that Alucard seems to be a darker, less doughnut-loving version of Vash the Stampede, this is a thrilling anime with a good plot, and lots of very satisfying blood for those who are in a twitchy mood. While some parts are not as well animated as others, they tend to keep it well rounded and stunning.Do not be fooled into thinking this is some cutesy cartoon for kids, with adorable little kill-me-now pokemon and Sailor Moon. (Who, by the way, are solely responsible, along with their Digimon brethren, for the anti-anime mood in most districts.) This is DISTURBING. People BLEED. People drink what the other people are BLEEDING. VERY heavy anti-christian messages, as well as exposing the more fanatical side of our religion. Very good anime, I reccomend it for the more strong stomached.

Summary: Not a fan of Anime...
Review: I am not a fan of anime, and not a big fan of vampires either, but a friend recommended this series to me and I decided to give it a shot. I am so glad I did! I was impressed with the story lines in the first three episodes, and can see room for a lot of interesting shows further in the series (as of now I have only seen the first dvd...). The characters are unique, and very complex, and Alucard is amazing. Every moment is drenched in style, and while it's a violent show, I was never taken aback. It's very straight forward violence. I noticed a pretty big discrepancy between the translation of the Japanese version and the English but the story is the same in the end so maybe exact lines aren't important. The only real problem I had with this was that the female characters looked very different from the male characters. The male characters had distinct facial expressions- Alucard in particular- but Seras Victoria and Integra look very run of the mill, and more like children's animation than the rest of the characters on the show. I'm curious why the animators chose to do that... Other than that I was entirely impressed and am looking forward to seeing the rest of the series!

Summary: Want Bloody Good Vampire Anime? You've Got It!
Review: The Japanese seem to find the western version of the Vampire myth quite appealing, and the expression of that fascination reaching a peak with the anime series Hellsing. Set in modern-day Great Britain, the series focuses on the efforts of the Hellsing Organization, a powerful private enterprise helping to defend "God, Queen, and Country" from the ravages of vampires. Run by the descendents of the van Helsing family of Dracula fame, the organization employs the enigmatic vampire Alucard in their hunt against creatures of the night. Alucard by far makes the series as one of the most hard-boiled ...anime heroes to date with just enough hint of a savage, barely-kept dark side to make him interesting. He dispatches the armies of the night with a huge .454 Casull gun filled with explosive, blessed silver bullets in style and with panache. In this first volume in the series, the first two episodes really serve as introductory material for the characters and setting. Seras Victoria, a police woman caught in the middle of an operation gone bad and the only "survivor" of her unit, becomes a vampire at Alucard's hand and joins the Hellsing Organization, and the organization must hunt down disturbing human-created "freak" vampires increasingly a problem in England. The third episode is where the series really begins to come into its own, introducing the rival Iscariot Organization of the Vatican and its rabid human regenerator. The animation itself is done really well in terms of visual quality, with a blend of CG and hand-drawn cel work; however, it is somewhat more static in nature than much contemporary anime, comparable to that done for the Record of Lodoss War series. The audio, though presented only in stereo sound, features a soundtrack you'll want to hunt down like a freak after fresh blood. Surprisingly, the english dubbing is quite good, featuring British-accented voice actors far superior to the average anime dub. Hellsing is an excellent addition to any anime fan's library and a must-watch for vampire lovers everywhere.

Summary: Interesting take on Vampires
Review: I picked this one up after seeing the trailer for it on a Pioneer sampler DVD. While I was already amazed by the animation, the story is a very interesting blend of the seedy nightlife of a gothic England, with the proverbial Secret organizations bent on hunting vampires. The story centers around a very arrogant and self assured vampire named Alucard (Or ARUCARD as the japanese pronounce it), who works for the Secret, vampire-hunting Hellsing organization. Arucard "recruits" a young female in the special British forces, after he shoots her in an attempt to kill a vampire. With death slowly taking her, Arucard gives her the choice of continued existence as a vampire, which she accepts. The Animation quality is fresh and excellent in this series, with plenty of action to keep a viewer interested. The somber, piano opening theme along with its soft vocals is very rich and dark in its simplicity. while its end theme is performed by early 90's band "Mr. Big", offsetting the gloominess of the story with its upbeat melody "Shine". The flamenco guitars for the scene music is also very good and appropriate. The only drawback is that the story is good and well thought out, it proceeds slowly as far as Alucards past is concerned or his motives for working for a vampire hunting agency. The story with young Victoria, the rookie cop turned vampire has been done before, although here it helps lighten the feel of the story and adds the ever necessary comic relief as well as some well shot scenes of her fighting to keep her humanity, in the face of her growing vampirism. Her loneliness in her new "Un-life" is reflected in the scenes of her in her new "Room" which is furnished only with a table, a bathroom (Do vampires need to pee?) and a coffin. If you are a stickler for the traditional vampire rules, you might balk at the thought of vampires walking into churches and wearing holy symbols, or refusing orders from their masters. However, if you can forego all that and enjoy the show just for its story value, then this might be a series worthy of your viewing. Overall a must buy. Definite must have for any vampire aficionado.

Summary: One hell of a series

At first I thought this series looked stupid but boy was
I wrong. This series is awesome. The characters are great(Especially Father Anderson)The story is good too.

Summary: Welcome to Hellsing... (4.5 stars)
Review: Welcome to the Hellsing Organization; an army dedicated to keep the country safe from the undead. The group fights against vampires and ghouls of all sorts in the dark of night. Their ultimate weapon is a hunter that is a vampire himself, Arucard; an unstoppable figure that can face just about any sort of evil that the darkness has to offer him. Vampires and ghouls are not safe with this elite team of hunters and soldiers lurking about. "Hellsing: Impure Souls" begins this dark journey with three episodes. Here we find out what the Hellsing Organization is all about, and we meet Arucard; a vampire who has dedicated himself to serve his master, Sir Integra (the head woman in charge of the group), and fight against the unholy monsters. He's forced to transform a dying police woman, Seras Victoria, into a vampire in order to spare her life to kill a menacing blood-sucker holding her hostage. While Seras is getting used to being a new member of the Hellsing Organization, she also is in battle with herself over what she has become. In the meantime, Arucard is up against some competition; a regenerating foe that wields The Bible and an assortment of knives. All of this is an exciting set-up for a blood-soaked introduction to the series. "Hellsing" is a quickly addicting anime series about vampires and ghouls--as well as the hunters and soldiers that fight against them. The animation is stunningly impressive and stylish while at the same time the story and characters are exceptional. The series reminds me a bit of the "Spawn" series without feeling nearly as disturbing or intense. It's extremely easy to lose yourself in each of these three episodes--and as soon as they're over, you're eager to see the rest. This is adult anime that is in no way intended for younger viewers. The episodes contain graphic violence, blood and gore, strong language, mature situations, and dark and disturbing themes and imagery. The only really downside to this DVD is that it only contains three episodes, which makes the running time for the DVD a little over an hour. While this can be seen as a good or bad thing, it's still a weak-point for the DVD. Other than that, the picture and sound quality is really great. Extras on the disc include a creditless opening, an art gallery, action figure info, a trailer music video and more. "Hellsing: Impure Souls" is the exciting beginning to this action-packed and stylish anime adventure. For those who are bigger fans of ghouls and vampires than the fantasy genera, this is definitely something to check out. "Hellsing" has the makings of a great anime series, and that's from only seeing the first three episodes. Take the ride into the darkness--if your soul dares.

Summary: ARUCARD REMINDs me of DMC' Dante
Review: As the first thing to say i find the first episode doesnt give the real idea but then Club M gives a better idea. As of vampire anime or mangas i have not liked many like Vampire Hunter D i found it really little kidish terrible story worst crap ever.

I like animes and mangas were people are totally crazy and are really insane its a great edge.Its for adults with One Valent Brother uses the F word execesive and dont forget the love couple on the Moped. Its great how they brought so much evil into it. Its a very worth geting and paying for it

Summary: Vampire kills Vampires with a really big Gun
Review: This is a pretty cool anime. I went in with low expectations. The story isn't that original at first: Vampire Hunter who is a Vampire? Sound familiar? But after watching this first DVD, I was really impressed. So Impressed that I got the other 3 DVDs.
The main character, Alucard (That's Dracula backwards) is very cool and stylish. He is a ruthless killer and his methods of execution are very distinct. He works for the Hellsing organization. A group dedicated to keeping England Vampire free except for Alucard of course. He takes a cop and makes her a Vampire, really for his own amusement. The two become partners so to speak and work together for the rest of the show.
The animation is top notch. The action is good but brief. Very Alfred Hitchcock. The music is also quite good. I had a chance to meet the voice actor who does the voice work for Alucard, Crispin Freeman. He is a terrific voice actor. If you like his work here, check out these titles X, Chobits, Read or Die and The Big O.
Hellsing is a great Anime. I would buy this one first. If you dig it, go out and get the other 3 right away.
