Summary: One of the best to date
Review: Hellsing is one of the best Anime series' I have seen to date. I absolutely love everything about this series. It has Trigun style animation but no goofy faces, it's very serious (more like the last 3 episodes of Trigun). Hellsing is definitely not for people looking for a light hearted series because it's anything but. You will not be disappointed with this series.

Summary: Why Only 3 Episodes?
Review: Hellsing is without a doubt my favorite anime series I have ever seen. Beautifully illustrated, amazing plot, and the most bad-ass protagonist outside of Vampire Hunter D. My only gripe with the DVD sets is they only include 3 episodes each. Why? I mean, 3 half-hour episodes can hardly take up an entire DVD, so I guess they went heavy on the speicial features. Either way, I'd rather have more Hellsing than special features. Oh well, I'll be buying this one anyway....

Summary: Gonzo's biggest 2001 hit
Review: Gonzo outdid itself. Again.Hellsing, although a short series with only 12 episodes, was a definite hit, taking on a new spin on vampires in the streets of Britain. (Side note: There are sepculations from Gonzo to start a sequel. More information later.) I sat there for all 12 episodes with satisfaction as a horror series is given not just its share of shrieks and shrills, but a storyline with heart. The main character is Arucard, a vampire. And as all vampires, he has the curse of immortality and the desire for blood. But he works for the other side. He slays vampires and the lot for the Hellsing Agency. It is headed by Integra Wingates Hellsing, descendent of Baron Van Hellsing the legendary vampire hunter and a Knight of the Round Table. They protect the Queen and Britain, but more is afoot than they know... With a simple but crisp animation, coupled with stunning presentation and matching soundtrack, Hellsing was regarded as one of the best animations in Japan of the year 2001, third after Mahoromatic and Scryed. Not quite shocking, yet it leaves you feeling displaced.

Summary: Violent, dark, stylish, and beautiful
Review: After seeing six episodes on a friend's computer last year, I was enthralled by the series' brooding atmosphere, it's ultraviolence, and sense of style. Alucard is the ultimate anti-hero, leaving undead bits all over the place as the result of his ten millimeter handgun. Sera is good as the "innocent turned undead" role, unwillingly developing a taste for human blood. The priest makes a great bad guy, his cackle becoming his calling card. I can't wait to get my hands on the dvd.

Summary: Impure Souls of the living dead
Review: Helsing is a great series and the animation and the storyline is excellent. It has a strong religous bit to it with the tension between the catholic and protestant church. Alucard is one of those anime characters who is just cool, like Spike in cowboy bebop. the Hellsing motto "In the name of god impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal damnation. Amen." sums up quite a bit of the plot. trying to rid the world of Impure man-made vampires and ghouls. Some great puns are also made, like the 13th division of the Pope's special task force, a "Sword Dancer". Overall a great anime and well worth the purchase. I recommend getting the series box, not just for the original cover but for the fact that this anime is bound to become a fan favorite.

Summary: Das vampir
Review: Ah, Hellsing... one of the finest pieces of anime this side of Gehenna. The story details the Hellsing agency, leaded by Integra Wingates Hellsing. She is the descendant of the legendary doctor/vampire-hunter Abraham Van Helsing from Bram Stokers Dracula.
Because of her bloodline, she has control of a maliciously powerful vampire named Alucard, whose origin has yet to be revealed. Alucard has become the top agent of the Hellsing agency, whose job is to protect the Queen of England from all sorts of undead rabble and/or monsters.
During a mission, Alucard "embraces" a female policewoman, making her a creature of the night as well.
The policewoman, named Ceres Victoria, struggles to accept her new undead form, which is also a main theme of the anime. The art of the anime is stunning... though it varies in some of the later episodes. Also, the soundtrack is smooth and cool.
Definitely worth a buy if you like horror, vampires (or Vampire Hunter D), or H.P. Lovecraft (as the series is highly inspired by the Lovecraftian realm). Finally, I should mention that Alucard is... so... bad-[one].

Summary: Darkness had never been so good
Review: It is good to see that from time to time producers do something else than anime revolving around teenagers, nothing wrong with that, but there is a world of possibilities out there, and gladly Hellsing is one of those that accept the challenge and delivers great content. In a alternate reality, zombies terrify UK (another difference between Hellsing and other anime is the setting, very unusual) and the Hellsing Institution is called frequently to dispatch their agents to take care of the situation. Their best agent is Arucard, a vampire that work for Hellsing under a pact with the institution manager, Integra... Of course, part of the interest on the show came from the question on why a powerfull vampire like Arucard is working for Integra to destroy his own kind. While nobody can't deny that Arucard is the main character of the show, Victoria, a former police officer, changed into a vampire by Arucard by her own will, plays an important role on the first half of the series and gives it a somewhat special feeling. While she discovers the powers that she's been gifted by turning into a vampire and fights along Arucard at Hellsing, she is in a conflict with her former self with her new reality, so it helps to show how old, experienced and powerful Arucard is. The contrast between then, master and aprentice, is a way to enhance Arucard's character in a clever way. Hellsing has lot of gore, so if you don't like this, skip it, if you don't mind, them there's a lot of plot and battle sequences to entertain you for quite some time. The whole series run for 13 episodes and aired late night in Japan last year (2001), so the transfer is awesome, just what you would expect from a really new release. A solid story, great animation and a collectors box make Hellsing a great release.

Summary: Blood, Desire and Arucard
Review: Yes... I have been waiting on tetherhooks for this series ever since I got a glimpse of it at a convention I went to. Be warned, this anime is NOT for the fainthearted (nor the kids)... its Spawn style dark and the drawing style reminds me a lot of the Sandman comics I used to read. The story revolves around the Hellsing orginisation and their quest to rid the world of the sudden surge of 'man made' vampires that have been running rampant. The head of the orginisation is Sir Intergral Wingates Hellsing (a woman). To hunt these vampires, she uses one of her own. A vampire operative by the name of Arucard Of all the characters in this anime, Arucard, the rogue vampire deserves special mention... he is the type of character that you can never quite figure out.. his voice is done superbly in japanese by Johji Nataka (Folken in Escaflowne), deep and menacing. Crispin Freeman does the english dub and sounds..alright... but no where near as deep. The only thing wrong about this is the fact that it contains only 3 episodes. Other than that, if you like horror with style... give this disc a try

Summary: Not Up to My Expectations
Review: I would first of all like to say that I have read the manga for this anime, and found it very enjoyable. Upon liking it so much, I decided to try out the TV series. I rented this first disc, and was sadly disappointed. From the high quality of the manga that I experienced, I was hoping for the same quality from the DVD's. But I was sadly disappointed. The plotline was askewed and confusing, and this is coming from a person who already knew it. The animation itself is not nearly as detailed and interesting as that of the manga, and the characters, especially Alucard (not Arucard, or Arukard) are more annoying than cool, which is how they are in the manga. It is my recommendation that this anime be left to the books, and not made into television, for this representation is misleading in terms of quality. For those of you out there who like the idea, but not the presentation of this DVD, I strongly recommend the manga as an alternative.
