Summary: Behold, Zombies.
Review: Ahhh zombies, how I love them. Hellsing takes up a standard setting, the dark underbelly of a major city, the main character is Alcuard (Probably the MOST COMMON VAMPIRE NAME EVER!) who works for the Hellsing orginization as a vampire hunter, boy oh boy, a vampire hunting vampires!? Don't get me wrong, I like the series, if you love action or seeing Zombie cannon fodder being blown away by some chick who's gun\breats keep getting bigger in every other scene you are going to fall in love with this series, there is story devolopment and character devolopment, and over all I sugguest this to any horror action fan, it is also easy to get into if you are just now getting into anime, the reason for this is because it is so familiar, by now every one knows about violent zombie\vampire hunt movies, and if that is your thing, pick it up. If action and violent zombie killing is not your thing, you MAY want to pass this one over.

Summary: Entertaining but with a twist
Review: If you like actioned packed anime sagas this is the dvd collection for you, but if you like the anime that goes really in depth with the characters and gives their whole autobiography then hellsing is not for you.Hellsing revolves around a vampire named Alucard and its says little about his past. Thats were the baffling twist comes in. At the end of the saga there is a twist.There is a man by hellsing who he is i dont know. All i know is that this baffled me.So if your into character plots and such stuff. Hellsing is not for you !!!!!!

Summary: Typical vampire story, but outstanding character
Review: Hellsing puts being cool at the top of its to-do list. The storyline itself is typical and predictable, but the characters themselves make it so darn interesting. The vampire Alucard is probably what makes me like this anime so much. He's crazy and creepy and cool all rolled up in one. Overall, the animation is okay and the music is excellent. I would recommend at least a rental.

Summary: Violently uninvolving...and I do mean "violently"
Review: After being subjected to the hype of my fellow anime-lovers about this series, I really expected a more interesting story. While I thought the animation was done passably well, artwork can only hold a film so far...the story and character development really needs to pick up the slack at some point. In this case, I lost interest after the second episode as it was fairly clear that the story wasn't moving at a pace comparable to it's simplicity; it simply wasn't complex enough to struggle along so cryptically. While I agree Alucard was an interesting character, his overthetop attitude mostly made him annoying (I'd like to see Vampire Hunter D tear him a new one, quite frankly) and the other characters were cardboard cutouts at best. Sera, who's struggle with her budding vampirism should have made a good center for this story, but her petulence and unwillingness to give in to the hunger that would make her a valuable asset to Hellsing simply makes her unnecessary to the series. In all, I was enormously disappointed...it really seemed that this idea could have had real depth; instead, it's creaters fell into a common Hollywood style trap: flash over substance.

Summary: If you like guns and vampires with a cult twist this is it!!
Review: This DVD series is an absolute must if you play any vampire rpg's etc. I really like the bizarre dark humor that is thrown in alucard = dracula backwards or the humor of vampires saying a prayer to send there enemies to hell. Awesome purchase if you have a sick sense of humor and like really cool kills.

Summary: The perfect anime for the action/horror/vampire fan
Review: Hellsing is an anime that should be looked at from a different perspective then a few other animes. The story in Hellsing isn't exactly in-depth, but I don't think it was ever intended to be deep. What you get with Hellsing is a great action anime, with awesome fight scenes, decent dialogue and dubbing (ten times better then 90% of the other dubbed anime in America) and one of the coolest anti-heroes ever to be created. Grooving guitar licks and even the hint of jazz makes the soundtrack perfect for the anime, and the art style, although a little static, fits the series well. Although the box may say 16 and up, I believe it should really be 18 and up, with plots containing snuff films, violence against women and torture all being used, especially early in the series. In some episodes the language gets downright foul, but it still fits the series. Overall, if you are looking for a great action anime, that has a dark sense of humor and an excellent soundtrack, then pick up Hellsing. And if you just plain love vampires, then you should already own this thing.

Summary: A Useless Effort
Review: I am about to crush this serie, now it's up to you to follow or not!
Although Hellsing has some good ideas, including an "o.k" style, the flaws cover it completely.A bad story kept (badly) together in a very ugly shape.The story line jumps from one place to another, introducing uselessly new charachters.The serie makes a big mistake by acting like a thriller, and ends up letting the viewers imagine every missing part.The drawings get like five minutes sketches most of the time, so bad a cute girl gets as ugly as a pig.The charachters are not deep at all and the movie has a huge lack of personality.This is definitely not a good manga, and I will absolutely not watch it again.If you like vampire stuff, I suggest Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, or if you want something with lots of blood, I suggest Kenshin (the OVA serie), or say, Akira.

Summary: "Immortality is wasted on the young..." (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, Alucard; 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. This collection of "Hellsing" is a set of four DVDs that reveal this exciting and bloody journey--a quest against the undead and all of their defects and imperfections. Join Alucard; a vampire who has dedicated his life to serving his master, Sir Integra, and leads to fight against the sleepless dead. You'll also follow the journey of Hellsing newcomer, Seras Victoria, who was once a police officer until turned vampire. The Organization is determined to defend humanity against all creatures of the night and vow to face any deadly foe in their way. These four volumes tell the story of ultimate darkness and evil--and how a certain group is possibly the only weapon against it. I found "Hellsing" to be a complete joy to watch. While being very stylish and flashy, the series still has structure and depth to it. The characters are extremely fascinating in their own unique ways. Alucard has become one of my new favorite anime characters, as he's one not to mess around with! The series is short, with only having a total of 13 episodes. While this is a bit of a downside, it also works in a positive way as it won't take much of your time to get through it all. The first three discs run at about 75 minutes each and the fourth one runs at about 95 minutes total. As I indicated in the reviews for the individual volumes, this is nothing young children should watch. This eerie and sinister anime series is extremely adult and offers what can be considered sometimes frightening and horrific moments. The series contains graphic violence, more than a fair amount of blood and gore, strong language, adult content, and dark and disturbing themes and imagery. The series gives you a feel of the "Spawn" series in some ways, but still offers a fresh and ideal concept. "Hellsing" is recommended for any fan of anime, as well as any fan of ghouls and vampires. The series is exciting and thrilling as well as completely mesmerizing. These 13 episodes give you a wildly trip into the darkness. Are you ready to do battle against the undead? Do you think you can follow Alucard, or will you be left behind? The decision is yours, and it has always been yours as he would tell you himself...

Summary: A Twist on dracula
Review: Hellsing is twist on what happended between Igor Van Hellsing and Dracula. Instead of Igor killing dracula they form a pact and then Igor and Dracula forms the Hellsing organization which his granddaughter Integeria Hellsing takes over. For a referance this anime is nice and gory so if you need some vampire killing gore or ghoul killing gore watch this anime.
