Summary: When the Hunt Concludes
Review: "In the name of God, impure souls will be banished to eternal damnation. Amen." Hunting the undead is a nasty business, but someone has to protect Her Majesty and Britain. In the Hellsing organization its more than just an objective, it flows in the bloodline that's been culminating in those veins throughout the centuries. To achieve these ends, some oddly fashioned means must be adopted, though, including the use of state-of-the-art technology, forces that are highly trained in the matters of disposal, and a certain secret weapon called Arucard. Yes, it is their duty to dispose of the threats to queen and country, and even the use of something as powerful as he, a vampire that seems almost unstoppably magnificent in his abilities, is suitable as a weapon to forward those causes. May God and her majesty be with you. In these last 4 episodes bringing the series to a head, many things take places that work in the realms of explanations, dealing with the loose ends that seem to trouble even Arucard as he struggles to find suitable prey as it does so. This leads to oceans of blood and a rich atmosphere of violence that climaxes in the best of fashions, rewarding those who have been proud enough to stand throughout the continuing struggle. None of these rank in the realms of the disposable, either, building upon brick after carefully laid brick and making it all the more worthwhile.
The orders included are: Order 10, Master of the Monster, where the mysterious connection between our beloved vampire and his master are finally revealed, plus some finality is given to some of the deeds taking place in Order 9. Herein is the explanation I know I was waiting for, helping to bring to light not only the mysterious Arucard but also Sir Integra and her ascension to the top of the Hellsing ladder. Order 11, Transcend Force, spotlights a plan that is thrown into action of the darkest sorts as an army of ghouls is created from some specially trained forces and used to threaten her majesty herself. Still, Hellsing is ready to play ball - or are they? This order touches on some undead ranks of past episodes, playing games with the parties of a powerful nature. Order 12, Total Destruction, sets things into motion that with a battle that pits Freaks against the legions of Hellsing, Arucard against the nemesis he's been desiring, and Sir Integra against the military? Within it is one of the sadder moments in the series as a something a valuable member of Hellsing is lost, too, not to mention some of the more interestingly intense struggles within the realms of brutal struggle. Order 13, Hellfire, finally brings many of the mysteries within the series to a climax, pitting, amongst other things, Sett against a fully unrestricted Arucard in a battle that amounts to the sheer pleasure. It also holds many of the keys to Hellsing and Sir Integra's unsure future as well, rewarding the viewer with a few feats of lovely carnage and out-and-out undead warfare. If you are a newer recruit to the ranks of Hellsing, do not skip ahead! Follow the exploits of the organization from the onset to the climax, and you will be rewarded in your struggles. If you have followed these instructions, then this comes as something of the highest recommendation order.

Summary: Interesting ending
Review: As enigmatic as the show, we get a few answers, but more questions. Alucard is the coolest thing out there & we finally get an answer as to why he'd bother serving humans. There's a lot left to the imagination, although that last smile on Integra's face suggests enough. This show has been in the depressing/heroes-on-the-short-end-of-the-stick mode of anime one doesn't really get in American shows(we have to have that happy ending) so I was expecting mass slaughter of all the characters by the final ep. The short-end-of-the-stick is there, but entirely in keeping with what has come before & leaves a lot for the viewer to decide. We get the confirmation Alucard is Vlad the Impailer which everyone had to suspect(in fact the little picture for ep 13 inside gave that away to any who've seen the painting of Vlad which has survived) & classic vampire myth action--this isn't Buffy or any of that cheap vampire stuff one finds in the straight-to-video horror section at the local video rental store. By this disc, I was pretty good at figuring where each ep would end(the worst possible place) & my daughter commented we're lucky we didn't have to wait a week between eps as one would if it were airing on tv.

Summary: Alucard!!! True Immortal Undead...
Review: Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I truly hope they continue with the series cause this last one leaves you wanting more. Really one of the best Animes I've seen, right up there with Ninja Scroll. Maybe even better.

Summary: Very awesome
Review: Hellsing is an awesome series. thats all I have to say. if you have the first DVDS you MUST buy this to complete your collection.
I just wanted to answer a couple of questions..maybe I can clear some stuff up. Integra's father and the hellsing organization did experiments on alucard and made him a ultra powerful vampire. Then he sealed him below the hellsing castle in case Integra needed him as a body guard. And she did.
In the end, I'm trying to figure out what happened. You can see that Integra is under arrest (She has bindings on her wrists and there are guards at the door). Alucard is in the room. He either is asking Integra if she wants to become a vampire too (remember, he asked her in an earlier episode), or if she wants him to kill the guards and break her out. I guess its all up to you...

Summary: Awesome ending to an incredible series
Review: Hellsing is by far the most original and interesting anime I've seen. This DVD contains both the Japanese unedited and English dubs. Before you start thinking, "Ewwwww, the english dubs to any anime always stinks!!!", let me assure you that the voice actor for Arucard is played by Cripin Freeman and frankly, he did an excellent job portraying Arucard. Anyway, this volume comes with the last 4 episodes, of this 13 episode series. In episode 9, we see the history behind Integra and Arucard, how they met and why Integra is his master. The last three episode focuses on the destruction of the Hellsing organization by a master vampire named, Incognito, betrayal by the Knights of the Round TAble, Seras Victoria going ballistic with her Harconnon Cannon, blasting away every single freak chip vampire in her sights and Arucard/Incognito's final battle in the Tower of London. Arucard dies in the battle, or does he...and the audience is finally shown his true identity in the end. Wanna know who he is, you'll have to buy yourself a copy to find.

Summary: the end....
Review: I have seen this dvd a number of times and it is great. I have seen that some say it was a bad ending, if you knew about hellsing then you would know the ending is the way it is because it was cancelled half-way through making the series because it was not a big hit in Japan so it was cut. It was a pretty good ending that left a few loose ends but it was really entertaining and fun to watch over and over again, it is worth the money.

Summary: Things Always Seem to Get Worse before They Really Get Bad
Review: I think I have been waiting for this, the final DVD in the Hellsing series for what seems like an eternity (actually it's been a mere two months). Anime has a great love for vampire stories, for obvious reasons. People like them and the writers and illustrators can let their imaginations run wild within the 'comfortable' constraints of the genre. And every now and then, somebody actually does something special. Like Miyu and D, Hellsing is one of the latter cases. Loud, jazzy, with a lot of stylish art, it is a showpiece even though the episodes sometimes get repetitive. Think of it as a kind of gothic noirish Cowboy Bebop. With a dash of Armageddon thrown in. We start the final set with Integra Hellsing fighting for her life in the hospital, all of the main characters in attendance. Bitten by one of Incognito's minions, Integra has cut her own throat to keep from being vampirized. As the medical staff struggles for her life, the head of the Hellsing Organization dreams of the events that made her what she is and delivered Alucard (Dracula) to her as a servant. Pay attention, because this is the last slow moment before a three-episode rush to the conclusion. All the usual crises develop, this escalating rapidly as an attack on the Queen in the Tower of London metamorphoses into a giant plot by Incognito to send London down to the pits of hell. Thanks to a bit of betrayal, all sides go through troops as if they were tissue paper - red tissue paper, to be precise. You will definitely want to make some popcorn and settle back as the fate of London hangs on a battle between two equally stylish but loony vampires. The ending leaves more than a few loose ends. In particular, we never find out who is making the chips that are making vampires. Or why they are making them. And I'm not sure that Seras has made up her mind about being a vampire yet. This implies that, just maybe, some day, there might be a sequel or a film. That works for me - and I'm sure it will for you once you investigate.

Summary: very kewl and good flash backs
Review: Ok, i thought this one was really good, but what confuzed me is the end of the last episode. I think there will be a fifth DVD coming out because of how there are too many cliffhanger htings. its like what they did in evanglion before they did Death and Rebirth and End of Evangelion. It looks like it wont be coming out with the next one. and if this is the last one, then i wish i never bought it becuase i was so mad that it ended that way. I mean why did Integras dad have Arucard in the basement thingy? and why did arucard have white hair in the flashback and the all of a sudden have black hair??? I htink the voice of younger Integra was better in Japanese than the english. Well, its good so buy it, but it will make you mad when you see that it isnt the end. I searched around and Japan has a fifth disk but i dont think its coming out until like either late 2003 or 2004 for all i know. I will be searching for it thogh, and hopefully it will be shown on amazon.com. it still deserves 5 stars!!!
