Hellsing - Official discussion thread

[Crimson Eyes]

I have only seen like two episodes of this anime. I liked it. How great is it?

[Inuyasha's Guardian]

I own the entire first season, and I can say it is very good. It is definately worth watching although the languge leaves something to be desired in later episodes. As long as you don't ming that and you love vampires it's great.

[bambooi]

are they making more?

[Viva Le Skarlette]

Hellsing is one of the most impressive and unforgettable shows in the anime industry. Of course I prefer the manga version of it because I love reading.

Alucard is a pretty hot fictional character. Seras Victoria is such a cutie!

[Darksword66]

Alright lets see Hellsing is a very good anime.I even think it was what i started watching anime with.But anyways the story line and everything is pretty interesting and the Vampires i find were well done.go people who make it.

[Alucard'sDarkAngel]

i recently watched Hellsing.. i love vampires and i Really liked this anime ^^
Alucard is awesome. Integra is also cool ^^

[Zoekin]

I have seen the entire box set and I liked it up until the last few episodes. Wasn't the demon that Alucard battled called Sett? Isn't that the major evil god from the Conan the barbarian books? Apart from that, it's a really great series. Walter was deadly with a cheese wire! My favourite character is Victoria Celes. I liked how we got to watch her coming to grips with being a vampire.

[Jezebel]

I loved Hellsing ... especially the characters. They seem more real than those of a lot of other anime/manga. The only problem I had was that I wish Integra was a guy ... TT____TT

@Zoekin: Huh? *points to self* *has short term memory loss*

Hellsing Is The Best Anime But Arent They Make A Big Story Line But Differnt If So Then What Is It Called Can You Tell Me......

[JoeiAtreides]

i really really love hellsing, i just finished watch tv series (again), the ova and read the manga last week...
and it's true.. they seem more real than those of a lot of other anime/manga ^_^
I can't wait to watch ova vol 2

I'm also read manga "the dawn", then i'm a bit shock on Alucard's apperance... it's sooo girlie... *i feel a bit heart broke* (and walter's just like bishounen >_<)
Umm... what to you think about their apperance? Do you like it?

[zan]

i really likw hellsing but its so short... and what way is his name better ARUCARD OR ALUCARD.. I LIKE ARUCARD.

[JoeiAtreides]

i really likw hellsing but its so short... and what way is his name better ARUCARD OR ALUCARD.. I LIKE ARUCARD.

hmm... the word ARUCARD makes him stronger than ALUCARD.. dont know why... tee hee hee...
but ALUCARD looks more original....
i more like ALUCARD ^^ but.. i've seen the thread about his name ALUCARD or ARUCARD somewhere....

[shadow_dragon_3]

I really want to see Hellsing is it good?

heck yeah its good. the BEST!

[~Troublesome Woman~]

If you've noticed, the difference in names is more how they pronounce it. The japanese don't use a solid "r"... it's like a cross between "r" and "l', which is why we get "Alucard" and "Arucard". I'm pretty sure it was meant to be Alucard though, because it's "Dracula" backwards.

The closest translation to the way they pronounce it is actually Aakaado, believe it or not.

[shadow_dragon_3]

cool

[Samurai Mike]

i just got done watching this anime.
i'm really into vampires and such so i knew i would like it but i really fell in love with this onei thought it was a really cool story and the chars where very cool.
but there is one thing that has been bothering me and i read this whole thread hoping someone would have posted this already and i saw nothing so maybe i just missed something but my roommate said the same as me
when "police girl" was turned into a vamp. she was told by walter the dude with the monicol eyeglass he said stay out of the sun and blah blah blah...yet later on i see her in the sun many times? how the hell is that if she is a vamp how is she able to walk in sunlight? did anyone else see this cuz it bugged the hell out of me

did i miss something or is that just cuz she did not drink her masters blood so she is not full vamp? i'm lost.... anyone know?

[shadow_dragon_3]

if you read the manga, alucard said that sunlight was not a vampres enemie, they just hate it

[Samurai Mike]

yea have not read the manga i just watched the anime.
i will deff read the manga when i get some time i just thought it was weird cuz
they said right out "stay out of the sun" and then like bam she is walking in the
sun like it's no big deal.

well thanks for the reply

[shadow_dragon_3]

good idea^^another reason for that is because she was not a full-fledged vamp. by the way, CAPTAIN HANS ROCKS(see sig)

[shadow_dragon_3]

does anyone know if volume 8 is out?

[jennyelric]

I really want to see Hellsing is it good?

yea you should it is awsome

[nosfarartu]

hellsing is the best anime it kiks a$$ dunno if i can find ne others like it let me no if u can dnt tell me the obvious ones like vampire hunter d ans blood last vampire plz tank u

[~Troublesome Woman~]

I don't know any other vampire animes other than the ones you stated (and Hellsing, fo course).

No, volume 8 is not out yet. And Alucard doesn't say that sunlight isn't a vampire's enemy. He says:
Besides, for me, sunlight isn't some great enemy. I just hate it.
So he's only referring to himself, not vampires on the whole. However, in the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, Dracula can go out in the sun. What he can't do is use his powers in the daytime. So he can't transform, fly, whatever.

But Alucard is meant to have been genetically modified by the Hellsings to make him even more powerful. So even though we don't know which "truth" the manga follows (vampires can't go in the sun or vampires can't use their powers in the sun)... whichever it is, Alucard can do both (wheeee, go Alucard!).

[Vinty]

Hellsing is my favorite anime right now. Walter would have to be my favorite character. Hellsingwould have to be the thing that really make me like vampires movies and stuff.

[der Scharfschüt]

hellsing's my fav anime and manga(you can probably tell from the sig and avatar though lol), and does anyone know when volume 8 comes out in the US?
