Mad_Monarch said: Regardless of how terribly evil the Major was, I think at the end when he explained why he wanted to defeat Alucard, I agreed with his reasoning as to why he was still a man, even though his body was a machine. His desires and ambitions could fully be ascribed to his own choice. Then there was Alucard's comments that only a man would ever be able to defeat him. I thought it would have been wonderfully fitting for The Major to have been the one to have killed Alucard. Still Integra pretty much countered Major's logic right away. But of cause it's up to individual viewers to judge who was right there... |

| I can recommend you softsub from CtA. Mad_Monarch said: Who else could possibly be around to command Alucards respect as she? Should Integra really die, I guess current queen/king will assign Alucard to work in some secret service agency, possibly under young Islands. |

| Very awesome show, I'm gonna have to re-watch the first 9 chapters cuz I forgot big chunks of the story from one chapter to the next. Still an amazingly animated and voice acted show! 5/5 10/10 |
| When Victoria was getting her own ass handed to her by the werewolf, I was so elated to hear Pip's voice again I was about to cry with manly tears of joy (or whatever that was). XD I know what the fat cyborg Major was prattling about was suppose to be his/their raison d'être but it was boring as hell when he was about it the entire time of his appearance. He was essentially talking the same thing across several episodes ago. Major: Blah blah blah... Me : OMG he's still talking!!! >_< And he's back, he's freakin' back after 30 goddamn years! I rated this episode 8/10, my favorite and IMHO the best episode was episode 7 in which I had experienced a whole lot of roller coaster emotions, anxiety, grief and indignation, just from watching it, It's closely followed by episode 6, Seras wielding the 2 Harkonnen II cannons was so much wallpaper worthy! All in all this series gets a 9/10 from me for the bad ass shit and crazy action. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| A great adaption. As a fan of the manga I am very satisfied. Everything from episode 4 onwards was pretty much spot on, and that's not a common thing for most anime adaptions. The OVA treatment that Hellsing received is maybe the best way of adapting a manga such as this, and it turned out brilliant. So 10/10, despite some minor issues in mostly the early episodes. Let's hope the Berserk adaption will turn out the same way. (And also the adaption of The Dawn.) And to the people complaining about the comedy: There is a very fine line between over-the-top seriousness and comedy, and Hellsing intentionally crossed it from the very beginning. And thus, the pure comedy parts are not out of place at all. This becomes even more apparent when you read the manga. |
| Saw this recently. It was very good, but I didn't quite understand some things. Plus the comedy parts were really out of place. 1) Could someone explain in detail the reasoning behind the Major's reason to kill Alucard? 2) What's the deal with Schrödinger, his powers and his role in killing Alucard? I suppose it has something to do with Schrödinger's cat but how was this connected to killing Alucard? Other than that, the anime was great. The characters were amazing and it was so good to see more of them, then I could in the series. edit: Anyone else thought of Dr. Mengele when they saw The Doctor? |

bloodlover said: 1) Could someone explain in detail the reasoning behind the Major's reason to kill Alucard? Major has lost pretty much every single battle that mattered during WW2, so he wanted to retaliate by winning some kind of a war and to wage some kind of a war he needed an enemy first. Alucard through Mina unwillingly became the starting point of the whole artificial Nazi vampire project (so Major wanted to surpass his inspirer), plus Major was obsessed with supernatural stuff to begin with (building up a Werewolf team of people - and not only people - with special abilities), also Alucard was the one who destroyed the vamp project back in WW2 days, plus Alucard was not just a vampire, but more of a walking army, thus an opponent worthy to start a war against. On top of that Major concluded that he is an exact opposite to Alucard: Alucard absorbed other people's lives to survive becoming some kind of a hive-mind in the process, Major declined vampirism in the same exact situation because for him merging with other minds at any degree was worse than death for he treasured his pure identity and will that much. Thus Major was jealous of Alucard's powers, yet despised Alucard for his nature. bloodlover said: 2) What's the deal with Schrödinger, his powers and his role in killing Alucard?

| *brofist for Klimat* Ty kind sir. It does make more sense now. The Major was a great villain and my hat goes off to his genius. |

And thus, the pure comedy parts are not out of place at all. This becomes even more apparent when you read the manga. Well, as someone who has complained about the comedy in this series, my issue with it feeling out of place was not so much that I felt comedy was inappropriate for a given scene but, rather, that the comedy in this series is just really terrible. If I had ever actually been amused by any of the "humorous" bits throughout the series then I would obviously have less trouble accepting them. But, as it stands, the only thing they contribute is breaking up the sustained greatness of any given episode - I guess that proves useful as a safety precaution for preventing the viewer from being overwhelmed by awesomeness. |
| Alongside Black Lagoon this is pretty much the quintessential anime action series. It's not a complex series, but it has a very interesting take on war and violence, unabashedly wallowing in these things and frankly it's all the better for it. It seems like every episode had a memorable action set piece and characters like Alucard, Integra, and the Major are ridiculously memorable. Some fantastic dialogue here btw, such as the "Gentlemen, I like War" speech and Integra's "Search and Destroy" catchphrase. I probably would give this series a 10, but I found Seras to be kind of dull compared to most other characters and as good as the dialogue could be it got a little too wordy at times. Ironically the two episodes focusing almost exclusively on her are probably my absolute favorites of the series. As it is the series is an utterly fantastic 9/10. The first I've given in a long, long time. |

MadCircus said: So, what exactly killing every soul inside him means? Does it make him weaker? after all, the battle was almost entirely won by all his 'souls'. It does make him weaker on one hand, on the other hand he now possesses Schrödinger's power. |

| One thing that I'm curious about, and it's not even a big deal, but why exactly is Alexander considered a main character on this site when Walter is very clearly more important than him to the plot? I like Alexander and all, but still.... I'd try to change that but I figured that no one tried to for a reason. Like I'm missing something. |

I'm also pretty sure there are only three characters that should be considered main here: Alucard, Integra and Seras. Guess people just like Anderson this much. Walter is a main character of The Dawn, here he is more of a villain and Major is much more important than he is in that regard. |

| An amazing ending to an amazing show. 10/10. |

Anderson was: 1) A badass. 2) Someone who went through similar circumstances as Alucard. While Alucard's circumstances were much more tragic, there is definitely a huge similarity between them. (Even Alucard acknowledged it) |
| and thats how it ends,there were some really boring parts,I give it a 8. |
| Shit ending to a good anime. Couldn't even make it through all the episode. OK you have a plan, ok you like making speeches just don't dedicate the whole episode to it. The whole episode was just the chubby German laughing at how good his plan is. It was a shit plan that gave a shit ending and still didn't kill Alcuard. |
 |
| Did I really watch this for seven years? Just wow. And what a grand finale. I simply enjoyed it. 9/10 Not much more to say here. |
| Well finally got to a hellsing ultimate marathon. This final episode was pretty great. but very expected. But that's not always bad. Oh how I wish for Hellsing to have turned vampire. I mean she was a virgin after all. makes me sad to see people grow, and grow old, and die. It is a weakness of mine. Anyways I see Sera has gotten a lot stronger for the past 30 years. She was already a "prodigy" right after becoming a vampire. And also, here I thought she would somehow regrow her arms for those 30 years, I guess that won't be happening. :/ :/ ANyways.. I would love for a sequel focusing on her, or even a right off the bat continuation of Hellsing; Ultimate. Would be awesome! But good anime. Great story. Animation was alright. Also, that fat nazi and his long boring speeches made me sleepy everytime he spoke. :/ bleh. |

Kaymmac94 said: Basically I'm asking if Alucard is stuck with one "life." Will he die for good if he gets killed? It hasn't been clearly stated so we can only speculate, but I personally think Alucard does actually stuck with one life. On the other hand it's Schrödinger's life, so it's kinda special, remember Schrödinger got his head blown away clear two times throughout the story, first by Alucard, second by Integra, still it never killed him for real. |
|
| Very great episode... the major was so awesome (especialy in the jap dub) When i hear the english dub major i cant understand people waiting for this anime comming out in english dub ( and the other voices are in my opinion better jap too) |
| 5/5 Fantastic adaptation of the manga, took forever but its finally over. Totally worth the wait. |
 |
| Love the ending, which the improvement to the anime happened much sooner. Started slow and clunky but then picked up greatly. 6/10 - 1st half 9/10 - 2nd half so 8/10 overall |
 |
| Great. Glorious. Ingenuous. Honor to see it finished and how it finished. |
| It was a good war :) |
LoreChaos said: Yes, the comedy scene just doesn't fit. Geez.. the Major was a robot?! This is ridiculous! I think they tried to make an unpredictable end, and it just got worse.... Somebody please explain how can a machine do all that stuff -.-' Kept alive by machines, but in this case he was more machine than man. |
| *Cringey anime weeb stuff* |
LoreChaos said: the Major was a robot?! This is ridiculous! I think they tried to make an unpredictable end, and it just got worse.... Somebody please explain how can a machine do all that stuff -.-' Major was not a robot, but a cyborg. His brain was still intact, and for the robotic body, think of it as of a complicated prosthetics. |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Watched the whole series in the past couple of days and I have to say that this is truly a great OVA. Haven't read the manga but I'm certain it's amazing as well. There isn't much to add, most members before me posted some identical opinions and arguments. What I will say though is that the very last scene, or 'the ending', was quite anticlimactic and in some way didn't appeal to me. That aside the ending, though, was dark and went back to how it felt at the start of the series, meaning that it felt like it was the true ending of the great series. |

| Epic final movie. The ending sucked though, I didn't really like it. The bad part is that it serves as the very story ending. Liked the idea about 10th Crusade though. My final score: 1. Characters. +1. This anime had indeed some forever great characters, like Anderson and of course Alucard himself.. though I didn’t really like his eventual development. 2. Atmosphere. +1. Well, yeah, the atmosphere was a bit dark/depressing at times, but that’s a must for the setting, and it was very well executed. 3. OST. +1. The show had some definitely good tracks, like in episode 10. I can’t really complain about it. 4. Animation. +1. The remake offered a bit shiny and at times even childish visual desings, but I should admit that the action scenes looked awesome at whole the time, because of this design. 5. Background story. It wasn’t something really special and it didn’t make the story any better. 6. Storyline. +1. I liked it. A very well executed storyline about a war. 7. Ending. Nope, I didn’t like it. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t even good either. 8. Drama. +1. Even just the death of Bernadotte was good enough, but Anderson’s end is really the saddest part for me ; 9. Overall affect. +1. A great animwe, it definitely had impact and even though it’s not the best anime ever, it’s memorable at least. 10. Bonus(extra) point for:... +1. Alexander Paladin. He’s nothing less than my favorite thing about this show. Actually if it wasn’t for him, I don’t think I would have ever given this show a score better than 6. |

| Epic serie ! couldn't wish better 10/10 |
 |
| okay series,lots of action but for some reason I didn't care for it that much |
 |
| Loved the "balls to the wall" action and especially the gore. Had interesting historical references. 8/10 |

| Such a shame that the original team never got to finish this because basically the second team did nothing but squander their effort by making inferior quality animation and changing things (the first team was faithful to the source material) EDIT: Apparently this actually had three different team's. The one's that fucked thing's up was the third team hat did the episodes 8-10. |
