It's amazing!You can't help but like Alucard.He is what every man wishes to be;powerful,self-controlled,fully knowledgable at what he does and he's got a cool trenchcoat and hat! :)
And the plot keeps you going from the beginning.wich is very rare to see in today's animes

Watched 9 eps, kickass anime, great fockin' action, very cool characters.
The plot is kinda nonexistant in my eyes though, if you discount the Anderson\Alucard rivalry (VERY good stuff there) there's not a lot else of interest. Freak chips at large, be dismayed~~ And a lot of vampire related nonsense.
Still, very cool anime. Episodes 5-7 are bloody amazing (and I do mean bloody).

Hellsing, a story about a secret organisation that fights monsters in the underground. A government blackops as it were, that fights supernaturals beings like vampires, ghould, werewolves, etc of the western world. Hellsing is situated in Great Britain(aka England), Europe. The story is viewed from the point of a recently turned to vampire police woman, her name has slipped my mind. To say that Hellsing is a hypocrite departement that uses supernatural beings to fight supernatural being is grossly a misunderstanding, cause humans ability could only get them so far. With the help of AlucarD(Dracula, a vampire), Hellsing tries to fight off these supernatural beings. Like Vash the Stampede, Alucard is a superpower extraodinair, he is very well aware of his capabilities and doesn't hide them under the table either(he can't stop yabbing about it).
Right now the fansubbers are at 9-10, I have only seen up to ep 1 to 6 and 9(yes, I was impatient). Its looks good, nice style, a bit dark at the start, but its gets brighter. Though Alucard alternate form isn't what I would say cool or awsome, but it works for him so its fine with me. BTW this show has been licensed by Pioneer or some other company, but the fansubbers still bringing it out so how bad good it be:D

i seen 1 - 7, it was great, a friend of mine compared it to nge, but personnally i see it as nothing near nge, its good too watch, but does not give you much to think about, alucard is smoothe' and in control, from what i've seen it can get a lot better but (more into the vampires (possibly something that alu doesn't absolutely rape with a stick (can i say that?))) ;x
I have eps 1-9 and the soundtrack and a few of the mangas. I would describe it as a cross between Trigun and Master of Mosquiton or Vampire Princess Miyu. Bit of comedy. Bit of drama. Bit of good, old gothic darkness.
And, you have to love the pimpin' red trench coat :lol:
Takahashi
21-02-02, 09:27 AM
Not to mentionned the pimpin' hat and two fantastic looking guns(with silver exploding bullets).
i've seen eps 1-9 so far, yeah Alucard is super cool and super freaky at the same time.
in the fansubs i saw they said that his name isn't Alucard but Arkard. i dunno where they got that from cos Alucard (Dracula backwards) makes more sense ??? i guess i'll find out for sure when the DVDs come out.

I think you got the wrong version, that takes it to literally what the VA said, cause my version from ANSI and AP both translated the name as Alucard.

21-02-02, 04:33 PM
I checked again and it was Ansi that translate Alucard in Arkard:heh:

Romanized, I'm fairly confident its supposed to be Alucard. Frankly, considering the entire vampire thing, I think they meant for his name to be "Alucard", the japanese people just can't say "Alucard". Also, I'm not clear on this but a friend told me that the Japanese language does not have an 'l'(letter L) so when they transcribe Alucard it comes out Arucard or Aakard(if they speak fast).
By the way, it was [si] that said it was Arkard.

I've only seen episode 1 (gotta burrow more), but the sheer coolness of Alucard's quotes stuck in my mind forever:
Greetings, I am from the Hellsing Trash Disposal Unit.
"Don't tell me you are here to kill me."
No, I am not an exterminator, but a garbageman. You are but the cockroack that feeds on the garbage. Hardly worth my attention. And that awful wardrobe of yours. You have absolutely no style whatsoever.
To say those lines with his calm composure and straight face in the face of danger just screams the very definition of cool itself. :D And loading his Desert Eagle BFG with his teeth; awesome. :D
tekblade
25-02-02, 07:23 PM
hehe i remember that, that is so friggin awsome :D i like his gun, sheer coolness :heh:

Those bits with the Beavis and Butthead style animation at the end are funny, I don't fully get why they are there though. I guess they make an original alternative to showing a preview of the next ep.

that swordsman is a bad ass, wait till ya see him fightin alucard, pure action :D
Yeah, Hellsing's pretty cool. The style of the opening sequence is one of my favorites and then it changes and it's still cool. That hound with the cross is friggin' bad too. :smokin:
I remember I spent the first two episodes wondering if Integral Hellsing was a guy or gal though. :heh:
I think so far just the feel of it is really good but I'm counting on finding out why Alucard is a servant.
Hey even the preview for this series is stylishly dark and cool.
I want to know how the manga goes.

My friend also could not tell if Integral was a woman. It was kinda hard to tell, and long hair is not always a tip off in anime.

It could take a while to be done with rurouni kenshin, that wandering swordsman keeps on going and going ^^

The trailer is bad ass i really want to see the series now, hopefully my friend with cable got hooked by episode one so he gets them all :D
well it worked with scryed....
Alucards voice is bad ass as well
Alucard says "Miss Hellsing" (in english) in episode four ithink. Looks like the millitary bishonen was actually a woman in this one. :lol:
Hey, isn't Hellsing a German name?
Ronin Aquila
04-03-02, 12:18 AM
Yes it is. And as is the professor Abraham Van-Helsing in the original novel of Dracula. :)
Hmm, I read Dracula six years ago :lol: Maybe that why I thought of it...
Just got the first book of the Hellsing manga. It's amusing but not a dark. It explains more of the story early on and is less mysterious. Integral looks more like a woman. Alucard is still cool. Integral and Ceres have some mondo funny facial expressions :lol: and even Alucard too. That's 'bout it, still cool bloody action.

Yes,Integral is a woman although everyone keeps calling her Sir Integral.You see in the 3 chapter when she remembers her past she's wearing a girl's school uniform.
Takara,keep reading,it only gets darker and better :)
Hey, I thought we already went over Integral being MISS Hellsing.
Integral looks more like a woman... I meant as opposed to the first two episodes in da anime.
Yups, I read chapter 3 already. Hellsing's pretty cool for a little girl, not being freaked out by a corpse and all.

She apparently was granted the title of "Sir" for she was knighted by Queen Elizabeth for her exemplary military record. ;)

13 eps is enough. I wouldn't want them to try to drag it out longer than neccessary and spoil it.
Ronin Aquila
12-03-02, 10:44 AM
Let us hope like Vandread the 13 Episodes of Hellsing was but a trial for its popularity, and that another tightly written 13 episodes will follow as a result of its rapport with the anime community. :D
On a side note, Alucard's gun reeks of coolness for it is what Vash the Stampede's gun could have been. :D

Can you tell me how you know this? Cuz I went to anime-daisuke and there was no mention of a 2nd season.
btw, wait till you get to ep 6. :D Its probably the coolest one and its my favourite ep so far.
tekblade
13-03-02, 08:21 PM
hehe i like 7 :D
Nooooooooo! We can't let this thread die. (bites this thread's neck, thus turning it into an undead.) Heh heh, now this thread will never die. :p
Okay, jokes aside, what are your favourite songs/bgms in Hellsing? Mine's in ep 6, the song that played after...
'SPOILERS'
...Alucard showed his true nature and when Yan is bout to blast the door to the round table meeting open. :D (In fact, I'm listening to it right now.)
I take back my earlier comments since someone i know who has seen all of hellsing (not subbed) is ------- me around about the end of it.
Anyway if ep 13 leaves room for a continuation, the earliest you will get more hellsing is probably 2003, with gonzo having a lot of series to work on. I based that descion on the fact that hellsing is damn popular, theirs quite abit of manga and gonzo are sequel shy (Vandread, Gatekeepers). peeps at animeondvd also think theirs going to be a sequel.
Anyway time to watch Hellsing 2-4
I heard it got licensed and no one is fansubbing it anymore... 9 was the last to get released and is the last we will see until the dvd is released. Anyone hear otherwise?
9 was the last to be fansub? I've watched ep 1 to 10, all subbed. :D
Even if it has been licensed, as long as ppl want to watch more and the official subs are not released yet, there will always be fansubs.
Never fear Trepid
Since Hellsing has been licensed since episode 3 has been fansubbed (well since it was made but thats when it was official licensed) and episode 10 recently came out (like a day or two ago by A-J fansubs) i'm pretty sure it's going to be finished ;)
Eps 2-4 rocked, especially ep 3 with that priest guy.
I love that butler-type guy. I haven't watched any Hellsing for a couple weeks now so I'm drawing a blank to his name, but he was the one in (around) episode 6 that had the threads. I won't say more for fear of tiny spoilers, but I'm sure we know who I'm refering to.
He just kicks ass.
(I had no idea Hellsing was only 13 episodes. For a series like this, I assumed it would be 26. That blows. :( )

Trust me, wait till you watch ep 6 and 7. They are the best and coolest. (Unless the last 3 ep are even cooler. :) )
Ronin Aquila
15-03-02, 08:54 AM
Is the swordsman at Ruroni Kenshi: Memories level of skill? Or better? :D
He throws his 'swords' more often than he uses them, but we probably see him again in the last few ep where he may be using them more for swordfighting. :D
Ronin Aquila
15-03-02, 10:08 AM

UNITMK1
15-03-02, 02:14 PM
Regarding oppa's post:
The butler's name is Walter, and he is also known as (SPOILER):
The Angel of Death
I heard that anime-networks is fansubbing hellsing 11, but they're taking their time coz they're giving scryed top priority.
Anime-network and s-i still fansubbing hellsing hey, they should focus on scryed since theirs so much competion with Hellsing and they have scryed to themselves just about
But I thought SI had dropped Hellsing. :confused:
Didn't Anime-network and S-I team up to do hellsing?
Theirs that many groups these days i lose track and the site i use to keep upto date with releases and who releases them doesn't do licensed stuff
Don't worry bout your sources, all the info I have is gotten from anime chatrooms, so they're probably not very accurate.

I just happened to hear through the grapevine that Hellsing 11 is being released this friday (March 22). The fansub group is Anime Junkies, the same guys who subbed Hellsing 10. I don't know if I can say where to get it without breaking forum rules tho, wouldn't want to do that as I like it here. If I can say where without getting kicked out I will (since it won't be in form of link)^__^
i watched episode 1-3 and i am currently downlo...er...'acquiring' episode 4 :D
it sure is one hell of'a show! especially Alucard...he's the pimp! and that priest guy is pretty darn sweet too, plus the whole 'protestant-hunter against christian-hunter thing' is pretty original. yep, me like!

Hellsing is a great anime. I'm dling ep 10 right now. It's just a shame that the series is only running for 13 eps. I'm also reading the manga, which supposedly has a better storyline than the anime. And for some eye candy, here are some resin kits I wish I had:

The cannon Celas Victoria carries around is called the "Halconnen", but from the ending of I think ep 7 you can see Baron Vladimir Harkonnen(From DUNE) floating around joking about his "trigger":lol:, I think they meant Harkonnen.

I personaly feel no harm is done, but you could have been a bit more subtle. :lol:
BTW I thought this was funny, technically one of the rules states "° NO selling or distribution or discussion of illegal or copyrighted materials on this board." and if you take it literally we should not discuss anime because it's copyrighted! :rolleyes:

25-03-02, 08:10 PM
The "don't lynch me" part was because last time I mentioned it, the release got pushed back. I just won't tell people where/when to get subs anymore, its no big deal. Its not like its poor rule or something, so I will respect it. I doubt anyone here has a hard time getting subs anyway. Even if they do, I'll still get mine.
Well thats the problem when fansubbing groups set release dates, anything can happen and it could be delayed. Thats why 90% of them don't set release dates so whinging leechers don't whinge that so and so isn't out.
remebers the days of when asking for the date noir 26 would be released, in soldats earned you a ban

I'm not lynching you, Snake Eyes. In fact I'm glad to receive any news. (Unless you intentionally give false news. :p )
Anyway Hellsing ep 11 is still not out. :(
(Also I think we're pushing our luck by talking about release dates for fansubs. :p )
Anyway lets change the topic before this thread gets close.
How bout a question:
Would you consider Alucard to be a hero?
Oops sorry bout a mistake in my 2nd last post.
Actually Hellsing ep 11 came out today. Yay! :D
Well i don't think Alucard fis the normal hero mould.....but thats why i like him :D
Also Anime-Pixel have released eps 11-12 and ep 13 is due out 8PM EST. Their files are roughly 100 meg.
Another group Animeone have theirs due to go (HQ) by firday and lets not forget Anime-Junkies
And i think it's ok to talk about fansubs and their groups as long as we don't tell ppl where to get them from (ie server, channel, program etc)
Yay! I've got ep 11 and 12! Subbed! :)
Well then, I'm off to watch 12. :D

27-03-02, 06:49 PM
11 was pretty cool, although the quality of my ep sucked. 12 is going to rock with that huge battle that's going to take place. And Integral should become a Vampire too. I probably would if I had the chance.

I don't think Integral will become a vampire, she is very strong willed person. Becoming a vampire would be an insult to her and her family.
Hellsing 13 by Anime-pixel is out its 88 meg though.......
11 was pretty cool, although the quality of my ep sucked
Then get Animeone's version of Hellsing 11 which is HQ, their eps 12-13 should be out before friday is over.

Westlo is there a reason why you do not have/watch ep 6? (Yes I want u to watch ep 6 coz I know you'll like it. ;) )
Anyway I know most of you guys haven't watched ep 13 yet but I want to hear your opinion...
Spoilers...
Do you think that Alucard is Dracula himself? (Refer to one of the last few scenes, just after Incognito dies.)
What do you think is Integral's answer to Alucard at the end? (About asking him to bite her.)

The cd my friend gave me it on stuffed up, yet eps 8-10 were fine, but i'm interested in seeing ep 6 since ep 5 had a cliffhangar ending and ppl say its real good.

Uh, I have seen the entire show, but don't understand japanese.:heh:
I stopped watching after episode 9. The series showed a lot of promise in the first few episodes, but I lost interest after a while. One of the reasons was that Celas Victoria's character design was unbelievably horrible, her personality was irritating (grow the f*** up, you're a vampire and you chose to be one. I hate wishy-washy pathetic and naive female main characters), and she didn't 'fit' with the other characters ('cartoony' vs 'realistic'). I'm not going to stick around to see if she 'grows up'.
Vash-like Alucard, who could regenerate clothing as well as flesh, was cool and all, but the series just felt rather average at best.
Well in ep 11 and 12 some things happen which develop her character slightly more (not going to spoil it for you), but it was near the end so I can't say how much she has 'grown up'. Besides, its her personality which makes everyone like her and brings a little humour to the series.
btw, too bad you stop at ep 9, ep 10 was cool, it showed Alucard's and Integral's past. (And ep 9 was a cliffhanger! How did you manage to resist watching ep 10?! :p )
Yeah how the hell can you stop at the end of ep 9 i mean oh wait a sec i still haven't watched ep 10........
Anyway HQ Hellsing eps 11-13 are now all out and thats the Hellsing i'll be seeing, no LQ for me, now someone needs to resub eps 2 and 3 and i guess it will be time to start reading the manga soon too

Damn, its either Hellsing isn't interesting enough or cliffhangers just don't work anymore. :p
Well I did really want to watch ep ten (whats going to happen to integra sama!) but i heard it was a flashback ep on alucards past so i was going to wait for ep 11 to be released and watch them in one hit. Then i got hooked onto RahXephon....and my friend with cables been busy getting mahou senshi riui.
Well then make him give you the rest of hellsing's episodes (and ep 6 too ;) ).
If he doesn't... you should know what to do. :evil:
p.s. Do you want me to lend you my Heavy Particle Gun? :p
He hasn't dled them yet, hes hooked on an anime i recommended him to download and should be right up my alley. A comedy fantasy anime, Mahou Senshi Riui and i'm hooked on RahXephon right now and ep 7 just came out, and i thought i was going to be upto date on a series with 56k.....
Anywayz i'm sure someone here will see the entire series in english soon.
In response to your questions:
*SPOILERS*
Alucard is Vlad the Impaler AKA Dracula. That's obvious from the moustache and the way Incognito meets his death. As far as Integral... she probably won't become a vampire. After all, Walter is still out there somewhere, and even if he's locked up, he WILL get loose.
YAY! Someone other than me has watched the whole series! :D
Yeah I thought so too, that Integral won't choose to be a vampire. (At least not so soon. ;) )
Anyway who here has news on the 2nd season?

Spoiler (ep 12)............................
I'm pretty sure Integral will be ok. In ep 12 they said she has the support of the Queen, that she should just wait it out, and something about someone being punished.

If she really has the support of the Queen why did she still end up in prison in ep 13? :p
Takahashi
31-03-02, 07:08 AM
I think most of the people who have been following Hellsing should have seen all of it already, so lets quite the spoiler thing eh?
The little flash that shows count Dracula face, could just means that he has his fathers looks and traits, after all "like father, like son". There is still no evidence that he could be Dracula, I guess will find that out in the second season:D.
Integral a vampire, she is most likely going to be. If you can remember or rewatch episode 11, where they had a talk about it. He asked her and she replies with "You can read my mind, so why ask" and he replies with "Yes, but I want to hear you say it", as in she already wanted it but still reluctant to turn. As it is she wants it:agree:.
The whole her majestie is on your side is just that they needed a scapegoat to put the blameon, also Britain has one of those powerless monarch(I think), where they are only put on display, but never have any real power. So even if the queen wants to help, she can only show public support, but doesn't play a decisive role, also the queen just has to say what is written by parlament. Endure is just to tell to bide her time and wait for an opportunity to clear the Hellsing name, meaning not do anything rash because that is exactly what the people in power wants them to do. If you fight them head on, then you would dig an even deeper whole for yourself, making it harder to climb out of it.
Reason why I think there is gonna be a second season.
- They have not explained the contract between Hellsing and Alucard.
- Who Alucard really is.
- Who the other master is(Incognito's master).
- Who made the artificial freak chip.
- Celas Victoria is not kick ass enough :).
- Its popular with the fans:D.
- Unresolved political situation.
- Integrale would make an awsome Vampire:D.
I think somewhere in this thread somebody already said that there is going to be another season. (too lazy to find the post tho :p )
Takahashi
31-03-02, 08:18 AM

I'm just so hard headed and I think Integral is such a baddass, ep 10, that I want her to be 'ok' and still a human. :stareup:

Vampires are immortal, and I think Dracula (well, at least the real one :p ) was born in 1431.

Vlad the Impaler is believed to have started the legend of Dracula, by the way he threw men, women and children onto spikes, then sat beheath their bodies and ate bread soaked in the blood that drained from them.
Vampires, Dracula, they are just myths, but Vlad was real.

Yes, Vlad was real, but he never threw innocent men, women and children onto spikes, and he definitely didn't eat bread soaked in their blood. Vlad Tepes , aka Vlad the Impaler was good and honest king of Transilvania, and a Romanian national hero. He only impailed thives, murderes, those who did not respect the most basic of human rights, and other evils.
As for the mith of the vampire, yes it was based on him, but I wouldn't call it a mith. The vampire is a creation of Irish writter (I'm not really sure if he was Irish though, and I'm too lazy to research it now) Brad Stoker.
As for the show's aspect... Let me just ask you this: If you could live for such a long time, wouldn't you also want to lead a small country once in a while?
That's all.

So, women and children can't be criminals? I never said innocent.......Though, alot of texts I have read do say he was a monster.

I hope you mean Bram Stoker.
Ronin Aquila

Mr Stoker no doubt drew the myth of Count Tepes' cruelty from sources that are of the enemies of Transylvania, and would therefore be greviously exaggerated and blown out of poportions in thier accounts.
Also, it is more than likely that the impalements Tepes allegedly performed are inspiration for Stoker's canonical crux of Vampiric existence: The stake through the heart.
And I must say: For a king who has lived 600 years, count Alucard certainly keeps up with the hip way of dress, language and style as opposed to decaying in antiquidated snobbish dignity. ;)

Uh, I think alucard is uhm... more than 2000 years old.
Spoiler... warning
in the episode where Integral meets the vatican pple in the church, and alucard appears out of nowhere and threatens them, he's like:
"You romans haven't changed a bit in 2000 years"
I would suppose he knew from experience how the romans were 2000 years ago. unless he read it in a book or something and just threw in the line...

but yes, does anyone know if they'll make a second season? the ending was well... i wanted more out of it personally.

Ronin Aquila
03-07-02, 10:39 AM
Thirteen Episodes of Vandread were produced. ;)
And as the story was so popular and the ending so open ended, it was followed by the equally brilliant Vandread The Second Stage.
If this pattern is any indication of Gonzo's conduct, it could well be that the 13 Episodes of Hellsing that have transpired is but a successful experiment through which an entire franchise will be spawned in the future. ;)
Originally posted by Phantom Angel

13 episodes in each season (there are 2)
Don't buy the OVA as it is only a summary of the first season, only buy and watch it if you want to jump straight into the 2nd season without watching the first.
And for questions about Vandread please ask them in the Vandread forum, not here. :p

The last few eps of Hellsing just ------- rocks beyond ------- flying belief.
Also, don't always believe what RA says; it's usually too emotionally charged with euphanistic expressions, or the other way around. In other words, Vandread is good, but not that good.
So guys what's your favourite Hellsing ep? Mine is 6, followed closely by 1 and 13. ;) :D

Just finished Hellsing. Coolness!
Integral was such a cute kid - hard to believe she's who she is now.
Did anyone think that blonde ghoul guy just kinda "appeared" in the plot? (They say his name once, I forgot it...) I know his scenes with Celes illustrated her rejecting a vampiric life of mindless destruction and enjoying it, but that guy didn't really do much for the story. (Aside from appearing naked in every scene...girl fanservice? Hmm.....)
And what is Incognito anyway?!? I'd really like to know...
Did anyone else notice how the quality of the animation wavered around ep 10 I think. Integral's character design seemed very sloppy for a while, but then it went back to normal.
I've only seen up to the end of episode 6... but already this show is one of my favorite. What a cool show! I can't wait to see more. It's nice to see an vampire show that doesn't ooze angsty "oh why do I have to kill humans to survive" stuff. Arucard is the epitomy of coolness.
Although I think it might have added more credibility to Celes' character if she got to wear the same clothes as the other members of her squad. I mean, really, that short skirt must be hard to deal with...

It's on the OST as 'Logos Naki World', but I've heard it called both. Go figure.
I think the most fun with the opening theme is trying to work out what the hell the lyrics are. They're in the most beautiful, nonsensical Japlish ever.
I spent hours a few days ago trying to search the web for the lyrics to "Cool/Logos Naki World"... every single site I found had something different, and most of it was nonsense...
But hey. The song sounds cool, and that's all that matters, right? And, if you desperately need to sing along, you can sing along with the "Shoobe doobe do" part. :lol:
By the way, Pen2, that dancing cactus cracks me up! :lol: At least... I think that's what it's supposed to be. :heh:

I really hate that they didn't keep the names the same. Alucard would have made much more sense than Arucard, but I guess they went after the way it was pronounced.

Funny how Seras manages to remain such a cute, sweet, and ultimately caring girl after entering the world of vampirism.
To have such willpower would make her in a sense a stronger person than Arcard is. ;)
She hasn't been a Vampire all that long. I suspect as she lived as a Vampire for longer, her humanity will fade.
Ronin Aquila
22-09-02, 10:29 AM

But considering that most vampires who have been dead for less time than she has are usually heartless, murdering psychopaths, she is still mentally strong in comparison. ;)

Or it's because she's a virgin. In the manga it says that unchaste people become ghouls after bitten. Virgins of the opposite sex who are bitten become vampires.
Spoiler....
However, the new wave of vampires that Hellsing is fighting turn everyone into ghouls, virgin or not.

Ah, but ask him to quote Kirika from any scene of any episode of Noir and I am sure the answer would be both instant and flawless.
One person can't keep everything perfect in his or her memory; some things have to slip a little to make way for that which is more important.

23-09-02, 10:45 PM
Come to think about it, although much happier, Seras is still kinda cute in the "sad, vulnerable yet strong and responsible" Kirika-Chan sort of way, is she not? :kawaii:
I think the show is very well done all around. I really like the characters and how they interact and "react" with one another.
yes and no...
THere are places in the series where it really could use a bit more...
Its a series thats best first time through if you ask me. Its not really all that complex as to require repeat screenings
