Hellsing - Complete Collection

Summary: Great Anime!
Review: I kind of brought this on a whim. I was looking for some new anime to add to my collection and I had never seen it before. I kind of jibbed alittle over the price, but decided to go for it. That turned out to be a good decision. The animation is goood and the story is good. It is certainly not suitable for younger viewers. Lots of blood and profanity. It's a must see for adult anime fans though!

Summary: JUST.....WOW!!!! BUY IT PRONTO!!
Review: First I thought it was Vampire Hunter D, then for a few days I thought Neon Genesis Evangelion. But one day latter I watch the Hellsing DVD's and the only way I can descrive what I saw is by saying: OH...MY...GOD. This is without a doubt THE best anime of all time, the main character Alucard (Dracula spelled backwards) is just soo soo sick!!! (for lack of a better word at this moment) The grim and wicked smile he has at all times just makes him the badest anime character period. Put him up against any character you want, he will beat him up.

The whole series is delightfuly well balanced, from the opening scene to the over the top action-siting at the edge of your seat-biting your nails off ending; you will just love this anime.

Granted this is not for anyone under 16, so parents be careful this is not for your little ones. But on the other hand if you are remotely interested in the vampire style anime dont wait another minute and get this DVD.

Summary: Best anime I've watched in years.
Review: This movie breaks the typical vampire stereo types, yet uses others to great affect.

The story archs, there are several, play out over the entire set of disks.

There is alot if background and information in this world left unexplored.

I hope they make a sequel.

Summary: Mediocre-Why the high reviews????
Review: I expected to see something good and exciting but up to now this is probably the worst manga that I have seen. Having seen the first 2 volumes I can only detect the negative aspects of the series.

1. No character development and depth at all. At the first 2 volumes we know almost nothing about Arukard, some minor and insignificant details about the female character and in general there can be no attachment to the characters at all. I still don't understand who is the main character of the series. Ash from the pokemon has more personality than the vampire in this movie!!! He He!!

2. Back to the pointless dialogues that many anime have. The characters talk and talk without really saying anything. They are trying my patience.

3. What about the story? Well there is a pattern where there are some people who create artificial vampires and the Hellsing org. hunts them. Personally, I believe the storyline sucked, and in no way I would buy the rest of the volumes.

I don't understand how people give this series a good review. Either they are at the age of 10-13 or I don't know what. Anime like Akira, Trigun, Berserk, robotech, escalflowe, record of lobos, evangelion, bewpop are excellent.

Well Hellsing compared to the above is 0!! I was very dissapointed. Even if in the next volumes the story gets better the animation is still not the best out there with no atmosphere and no character direction.

Summary: A Great Anime
Review: Hellsing is a really nice anime. I hear people say its very gorey and violent, but really, I don't see it. Then again, it takes a lot for a cartoon to gross me out ^_^
The characters are okay. I feel like we should've had a bit more background information. And, I read some of the manga, where's the bit where we have a WHOLE episode explaining how Integra got Alucard? (and yes, Alucard is Dracula spelled backwards, for thos who thought they were going crazy).
But, aside from that, I think its a pretty neat anime. I like MOST vampire stories, so when I heard about it, had to get it...

Summary: IF YOU LIKE DARK ANIME - THIS IS IT
Review: The perfect recipe for an interesting vampire anime. The mysterious and secret Hellsing Organization is ran by 23 year old Sir Integra Wingates Helsing. A beautiful woman who has learned self control (maybe a bit too much) in order to control her organization, which she inherited from her late father when she was 13 years old. Her nature is quick to anger, but her control is obvious. The Hellsing Organization battles vampires, ghouls, and freaks (manmade vampires). Their motto: "In the Name of God, impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal damnation. Amen." Along with inheriting the organization, Sir Integra also inherited a vampire - Alucard. Alucard made a pact (what that includes is never made clear) with the Hellsing family long ago to submit to levels of control that can only be removed under certain conditions. Alucard is a totally insane immortal creature. He loves nothing more than a good battle, but he's often disappointed by his opponents. Alucard is often condescending to Sir Integra (which helps her from getting too arrogant), but at other times his admiration and respect are obvious. Sir Integra is his master. During a battle with a vampire - Alucard meets police girl Seras Victoria. He has to shoot thru Seras to get to vampire. Alucard offers her the choice of death or "coming over". Seras Victoria chooses to become a vampire. Sir Integra is not pleased. After a rocky start Sir Integra discovers that Seras common sense and sense of honor could be an asset to the Hellsing Organization. Seras Victoria learns that Sir Integra has an "indominable spirit that" can "make soldier's hearts burn like fire". Walter is a kindly retainer who is totally devoted to Sir Integra. Walter's kindness to Seras Victoria helps ease her way into the organization. Alucard is Seras Victoria's Master. They seem to have a father/daughter relationship since he made her. There are 13 episodes in this series. Unfortunately, no more are scheduled to be made.

Summary: Great vampire movie if you don't mind the gore
Review: Since I love vampires and some vampire movies I was very interested in this. There was alot of gore, but I'm not the pansy type. And to correct the person in the last review, Arucard's master didn't die, shows you how much attention people pay to the movie. If those of you out there like blood, gore, and vampires this movie is especially for you. And it has a very great soundtrack.

Summary: .:*ARUCARD*:.
Review: This anime series is one of the best, but sadly not very popular. Its an awsome shoot to kill anime series starring this cocky Vampire named: Arucard, who happens to be the secret weapon/pet of the imfamous Hellsing organazation. The Hellsing Org.s job is to kill all the vampires, yes it is ironic that Arucard works for a vampire killing organazation. but either way he "recruits" seras victoria Aka: police girl, and she is another one of Hellsings pets, but either way its awsome, the over all layout and style of this is just friggin awsome, even if u dont like this kinda anime, i gurantee u will love it.

In the name of God, impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal damnation.
Amen.

Summary: Irreverant Vampire Fun
Review: This whole show is very much epitomised by one of its main and coolest characters, Arucard. It's cocky, cool, stylish and always looking forward to meeting another vampire opponent to do battle with, who might put up a decent challenge. It has very much a pulp irreverence to it, and therefore lacks a big dramatic pull in relation to the characters in the show, but it's damm stylish, got some really consistently cool animation and art happening most the time, and is pretty much a wacked out show. It's violence and language is over the top, which fits in perfectly with all the zombie and vampire mayhem that goes on. It's a real cool show, if u are wanting some light hearted, semi-intelligent juvenile fun!
