Summary: Hellsing!
Review: The official Amazon review states that "...the design style changes from character to character"
...
Uuuummm...Yeah?That's because they're like..Uh...Different characters...And..They don't..Look the same...I mean,their character designs are OBVIOUSLY supposed to be different from one-another...
Anyway,Despite what many reviews have said,there is character development.It's just..Subtle.It's story driven,anyway.The main characters are all interesting.Alucard(Arucard),The vampire who wears red,and wields gigantic pistols,Ceres Victoria,a midian police girl who can effectively use a sniper rifle without a scope,that priest dude,with all those swords...And Walter,the butler with razor-wire.etc...Um...The end is quite anti-climatic...The 2nd DVD is the best.The episodes with the valentine brothers were awesome.Um..Beware the dub....Phony english accents...uh..A bit of violence(the zombies just turn to sand),no nudity,a bit of language.(Jan...)Suitable for anyone mature enough to view it.It's not so bad...

Summary: Amazing Series
Review: It really was a great anime. From what I've heard, it's actually only the first season and a second is coming out (not sure though).As for falling apart at the end, it actually doesn't at all: You just have to think about the ending. I'm not going to share my view of it, as it would spoil the ending. Those of you who think it "falls apart" clearly should stick to Telletubbies and Barny, which requires no thinking. Remember, this is an anime: Sometimes deep thinking is required to understand them, they aren't just run of the mill American cartoons. As for Character development: It starts you in the middle of this whole war thing, aside from the Policewoman, there aren't many in need of developing. Though we do see some other sides of Arucard. While it seems like he only cares for the kill, he shows feelings for Integra and Celes Victoria. His feelings for Integra are not 2d either, but mixed.

Summary: Not your thing? You'd be surprised!
Review: I'd never actually heard of Hellsing before, until my friend bought the first DVD out of impulse based on something she'd read on the internet. She leant me the first two and at first I was sceptical - vampires and Christianity don't really appeal to me much - but after watching only the first episode I was totally hooked! Whatever you read, whatever your original thoughts based on the cover art, the blurb or whatever, you really have to see it for yourself to make your own opinion. The main character Alucard is one bad-ass vampire; arrogant as all hell, but he's got the skills to back it up: he's never let a target escape. It's impossible not to love him.
The story - set in modern day London - revolves around the Hellsing organisation, a secret society dedicated to freeing Britain of all Impure Souls. It is led by Integra Hellsing (sound familiar? She's the decendant of Dracula's Dr Abraham Van Helsing) a strong woman who is dedicated to eliminating Undead of any kind. So why is a vampire her secret weapon? (that's just one thing you'll have to work out for yourself from watching) With the addition of Seras Victoria, a timid police officer turned vampire when Alucard has to shoot through her lungs to eliminate a target, the story kicks off. Throughout the series the Hellsing Organisation has to deal with ghouls and a new type of man-made breed of vampire. That's not to mention interference from the Iscariot Organisation, a Catholic based organisation also dedicated to the elimination of vampires (Hellsing is Protestant, hence the enmity between the two)
Of course, there's much worse to come. In Hellsing when they say 'bad guy' they mean REALLY bad guy. The series doesn't have a down moment. It's all fantastic! There's great action, characters you either love or love to hate and a brilliant soundtrack on par with Cowboy Bebop. The complete collection is a must have because it's so easy to watch the whole series at once, again and again (believe me, I do all the time ^^)
You need to watch it all more than once, because there's so much more to it than it originally seems. Anyone who says it's all action and no plot has really only taken in less than half the show. And so, to sum myself up in a few words: Hellsing is one of the greatest anime to date. A must see for any anime fan and a must have! Trust me, you won't regret watching it.

Summary: Trigun Gone Wrong
Review: Take Trigun's action, Cowboy Bebop's soundtrack, Biohunter's blood/gore. Mix well, and whaddaya' get? Hellsing of course! Hellsing is very very very bloody (but I'm assuming you all ready know that), definatley not an anime for the kiddies. I found it moderately entertaining hearing the Brittish vampires/humans voice actor's accents. They keep saying "Fok" as a cuss word, whats "Fok" mean? *chuckle* And yes, it does have cussing with flying colors, even the big three. Alucard, the main character (which is Dracula spelled backwards), is a billion times as bad (the good kind of bad) as Vash, Spike, Inuyasha, etc. He has brains, brawn, and really cool vampire powers. Watching these ephisodes would be really cool if you just smoked a couple joints, or did some acid (either one should be just fine). In conclusion... Anime fans, GET IT, OR YOU CAN ENJOY A LIFE WITHOUT GOOD ANIME!!!

Summary: Great Steal!
Review: This set is not the greatest quality DVD (I think it uses mpeg-2 video). The picture is a little disappointing and there seems to be a few audio pops when subtitles are turned on. Also, the extras suck, so don't think you're getting anything special. BUT, it is still a really good package overall. I really enjoyed the series, even though I am not an avid anime watcher. There have been only a few anime series that I have actually finished watching mainly because it's so expensive to buy DVD's of every other three episodes. This series is fast paced, even though a little confusing at times for me (probably missed something the first time around). Great action sequences, some amazing animation, and great ideas make this a definite DVD purchase.

Summary: Hellsing
Review: In my opinion, Hellsing is one of the highest quality series that I have EVER seen. It's unique subject makes it an interesting and exciting contrast to many other animations. I have heard many people say it is too short and I agree. I would have liked to see more of it too, but It's short duration does not compromise It's reputation of excellence. It is well worth at least watching even you don't buy it.
