Summary: Vampires Again?
Review: I don't know about you, but when I hear the word 'vampire' in the description of an anime, it doesn't make me want to jump up and rent it. Been there, watched that. But this anime is different and here are a few reasons why.Strong characters. My favorite character in this anime is Integra Hellsing. She's one of the most respectable and intelligent anime women you'll ever meet... Great soundtrack. The opening song is my favorite in the series. A couple of the tracks sound like japanese versions of brit rock, and a lot of the music sounds like it's from a freaky carnival. The animation is sometimes really good, and othertimes not... Overall it's a strange and wonderful anime. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Awesome Vampires, Blood, Darkness Whats Not To Like
Review: This series is so good. It is about this awesome vampire named Alucard (Although it says Arucard on the credits) that works for a vampire killing organization named Hellsing. Kinda ironic isn't it. Anyways he turns this police girl named Seres into a vampire and kicks some major .... It is very short though which really ..., but you have to see this series anyways. The box set is worth it and you'll be happy with it. I don't reccomend this to any little kids out there below the age of four. You should be able to see what you want. There is a lot of blood and darkness. It's great.

Summary: Flash over substance, but still worthwhile
Review: The characters are awfully one-dimensional, the story is far from deep, and it just about all falls apart at the end -- so why should anyone care? Well, nobody should, really. And yet, I do. Sure, the story, set in modern day Britain, isn't particularly brilliant: Alucard, an incredibly powerful vampire decked out in a blood-red coat, serves a gelid female by the name of Sir Integra Hellsing, who runs a secret organization that eliminates vampires. They, along with Seras Victoria, a somewhat ditzy police girl Alucard turns into a vampire early on in the series, spend much of these 13 eps investigating 'freak' vampires, humans turned into vampires by having chips implanted -- none of which is really all that exciting. And there's no real character development to speak of; the characters are exactly the same at the end of the series as they are when first introduced. But the creators make up for most of this with style. Lots and lots of style, actually. Bloody battles, cool weapons, gorgeous gothic backdrops, heaps of attitude, slick soundtrack -- truly excellent stuff. And, of course, there's Alucard, whose cool, laid-back personality never gets old (nor does him showing off those enormous guns he wields). Taking place in Britain, the Japanese voice actors feel greatly out of place, so thankfully the dub is quite adequate. The extras are fairly standard stuff: sketches, ads and the like. But despite all its shortcomings, Hellsing manages to remain entertaining throughout, even during the last few eps where our hero does battle with Incognito, one of the most asinine villians in anime history. It's slick, violent, and always cool, one any vampire fan could enjoy, so long as they don't mind turning their brain off for a bit.

Summary: Finally a vampire to be proud of
Review: It's about time that a vampire series has come out where the vampire isn't a [wimp]. This series offers some great animation, a cool story and some of the best characters that has appeared in a gothic series like this. Arucard doesn't take...from anybody and isn't afraid to tell that to anybody. This is the best vampire series (along side Vampire Hunter D) as the standard for gothic animation.

Summary: Not for kids
Review: If you already are interested in anime, then you have heard of this one. Everything good you hear about this show is true. I really can't add too much except to comment on the english voices. I had seen all the episodes before I bought the box set, but they were all with sub-titles. Most of the time when they re-dub an anime, the voices are something they always manage to screw up (exsample, Vash from trigun, most of the cast of Rama) but I have to say here they are almost as good as their japanse counter-parts.

Summary: Hellsing ROCKS!
Review: This is absolutely the best anime series I have ever layed eyes on. If you are in to blood-sucking vampires, preists with knives, and really awesome guns this is the anime for you. Hellsing is a dark story, with a dark plot and a sinister presence, it will send shivers down your spine. You'll want to watch it over and over and over again.

Summary: Starts brilliantly, but goes nowhere.
Review: Words can not describe how excited I was anticipating a full (even if only 13 episodes) series with a premise this [darn] cool. The excitement only increased after the first several episodes. Alucard has got to be the most wicked, ...kicking character in animated history (sorry, D). No problem there. The problem lies in Miss Seres Victoria who should have been an awesome and deep character, but instead remains whiny and virtually helpless throughout the entire series despite becoming a vampire in the very first episode. Hello! Character development, where are you!? In fact, the only distinguishable difference between her and the normal humans is that her eyes are red (and she's also drawn in a traditional stylized anime heroine manner whereas every other character is drawn more realistically, but I digress) and she drinks blood, not from people, mind you, that would make her too interesting, but from transfusion bags which she empties into a saucer (here, kitty, kitty). All that aside, This is an interesting and stylish anime for those with darker tastes. The first half of the series is thrilling, the buildup is just brilliant. But the second half gets bogged down in much less interesting plot ideas. They spend so much time setting the mood and chronicling Seres's almost nonexistent change from helpless police girl to helpless vampire girl that they forget to do anything remotely interesting over the second half of the series. Nonetheless, Alucard alone is worth the purchase and Seres is still a very likeable character, even though I feel she was done a great disservice in this show's treatment of her. Check it out if you're a vampire freak like me, but don't bother if you're looking for brilliant writing. I pray for a second season that does the brilliant concept justice.

Summary: VERY GOOD!
Review: Well im not going to give a super long review so im gonna try and keep it short. For me it started off slow but after 5 or so minutes or when alucard first drew his gun I was hook. I highly recommend this title just I think the price tag at amazon is high. See if you can buy it cheaper.

Summary: Hellsing is a pretty cool Anime
Review: i thought this was very interesting. it's about an artificial vampire hunting organization called Hellsing and how there strongest force Alucard helps turn a dying police girl named Seras into a vampire, and they then join togethar to defeat the articial race of vampires. althogh i must agree that there are much better animes out there, i still thought this had some really cool action sequnces as well as some totally kick-a$$ bad guys. this box set is a must have for any Otaku who hasn't gotten into this yet.
