Rebuilt and fine now. Wasn't it obvious?


Perhaps I didn't properly ask my question. Why wasn't the rebuilding of London, the destabilizing of the Roman Catholic Church, and possibly a reflection upon past events portrayed instead of a watered down and outright contrived comedy? For all the seriousness that it was, you can't possibly say that wasn't an almost mawkish ending?

Because rebuilding is not all that interesting maybe? Cranes and workers everywhere. Bricks and cement. Kinda like after WW2, but exclusively in London and not all over Europe. It has been rebuilt in a year or so I bet.
Also we had a glimpse of Catholic Church's current state with Makube. They are still around, they have a new hunter joker instead of Anderson (Heinkel), they've lost their military strengths but still dream to regain it with time.

It was lighthearted after all the horror before and I'm fine with it.

-Why/How was Alucard defeated? So there's a river of blood going through London leading into Alucard, feasting on it. Schrödinger(sp) appears, cuts his throat and dives in. Alucard absorbs him and.... He's defeated. Because Schrödinger is like the Chesire Cat apparently. Dont think that's a relevant explanation. Why did he disappear into a brick?


Alucard wasn't defeated. Major's aim was for him to stay gone. Integra told him he would come back. She was right. But the trick he planned to use was to have Schrödinger who was everywhere and nowhere mix in the lives he took, since he can't recognize himself, he fades from existence into the "land of imaginary numbers."

IcecreamManwich said:
-Right before Alucard disappears into said brick, he whispers something which is not translated in the subs. What did he say?


"No... Goodbye, Integra."

(I wouldn't use farewell as some translators do because saraba more proper farewell while sayonara is goodbye which is what Alucard said. Saraba has emphasis on finality, Walter says it for instance).

IcecreamManwich said:
-Exactly why did Walter betray the Hellsing's? In the beginning of the series he's all gung-ho for fighting monsters, but then at the end he hates the Hellsing's for some reason. Does he just change allegiances at drop of a hat?


Walter hated Alucard, even if he cared a lot for Integra or Seras or Hellsing (specially Integra), his obsessive hatred won over. Alucard implies one of the reasons is jealousy and poor self-esteem: he's afraid to be seen as nothing but a feeble old man. He wants to fight and defeat him, because his life would be worthless otherwise.

Now re-watch or re-read the Valentine Brothers attack. Walter collaborated to have that. Didn't he appear to handle the situation, right? He gave all the answers to Integra while all the escape routes were targeted by "inside information" and played to be the hero? Didn't he guide Seras? Of course... he couldn't be the hero. He couldn't stop them. Two vampires were sent instead of one. Alucard again won over him.

He seems to hate be overshadowed by Alucard. Walter might act humble and polite, but he's incredibly arrogant. The scene with Maxwell briefing is an example. Integra's quick to lower her head and say "please" to get information while Walter is insulted. If you pay attention, you'll see his passive-aggressive courteous opinions against Alucard slip. He quickly reminds Integra Alucard's a true monster (something Integra never called or saw Alucard as, his actions were truly shocking to her) during the Rio incident. That's his opinion of Alucard.

IcecreamManwich said:
-What was the Mina Harker reference about? I know she was one of the people who killed Dracula way back when, but what was the nazi's doing with her remains? The scene briefly flashes to a person wrapped in chains and other utilities, which we also saw in The Dawn: Episode 2. Were they using her for experiments?


Mina was the reason why Alucard came to London a century ago (but the OVA cut this out, right? I only listened to the audio of OVA 8, the manga features narrative of Alucard's return to London matching the past scene: "once a vampire travelled to England to claim a woman he thirstily desired", he voyaged in a ship with all crew dead, between the mist with a coffin inside, etc, which was also displayed presently. All to mirror the past which is the point of the war: rehearse of the play that happened a hundred of year ago according to Major, all over the last volumes is the theme of repeat: Anderson repeating Alucard's mistake as his mirror, for instance). She's the only being who had had her blood sucked by Alucard and had sucked his blood. Because Alucard was defeated, she never became a vampire. Her remains were dug out and still contained what his blood did, so this was used to create imitations of Alucard.

Ugh...it's not like it needed to end with something controversial, but at the same time, I really feel like that kind of ending just killed it. Perhaps it's just because that humor just felt so forced...meh, I have an odd interpretation of how I like my endings to play out. Well, it was a thrilling series for what it was.

I was expecting more from the series; having to wait so long for a new episode didn't help at all (if i had waited for all them to come out i would have enjoyed it way more); also that Major was annoying like hell. Still towards the mid-end of the episode i managed to have some fun and made more sense why i ranked it previously as 9/10.

Just watched it raw, that was a good episode. Crazy how he killed all of the lives that were inside of him. How was Seras able to just get that cannon from nowhere, and Integra got darker as she aged.

I liked it when Allucard said "I am no longer here, I am no longer anywhere, I can go anywhere, that's why I'm here." Which I believe is what Schrodinger's Cat said.


Pretty much this, so much glaring inconsistency and a rather sloppy ending in my opinion. Integra suddenly getting a penchant for fake tan in her old age was rather LoL.

It had enough to redeem it though, some well written dialogue saved it and with all the studio switching and problems I suppose it did rather well, down to 9/10 for me though.

It was worth waiting for Sage too I think the horrible YouTube rip would have crushed me.

It was good to see Pip Bernadotte again, even though it was brief! I really liked him!!
That fight between Seras and the Werewolf was WIN! I was on the edge of my seat for that one.

Didn't care to much for the last 10 minutes of the episode. The animation and humor just REALLY seemed out of place considering how heavy, hard core, and gory this was. I did like the final moments when Integral greeted Alucard and offered up her blood.

I wish Hellsing could go on forever simply because Alucard is the best vampire ever to grace anime and manga!

Even though it has the same "flaws" of the source material, the adaptation was done perfectly well.

And we all know that is very difficult to find an adaptation as faithful as this.

6 Years after the first OVA came out....it's finally over!

Absolutely BRILLIANT!

What a masterpiece of an anime, the animation, the characters, the story, everything was so fucking awesome.

This is a very rare anime nowadays, there is almost nothing I can complain about, and this is by far one of the best adaptations ever made.

I have completed over 400+ anime.....but only about 4% of those anime have the score that I will give hellsing.

10/10......By far the best vampire anime ever done, the best Male Character I have ever seen (Alucard) and one of the best twists on a classic (Dracula) that anime has made.

I will truly miss this anime!

I'm with you. Each part is a part. All scenes of blood and drama stayed behind. It would be bad if the comedy was in the middle of the episode.

Moreover, there is more than one way to do comedy. As starts for example. Break of tension.
I think the comedy of Hellsing is compatible with the rest of the series because it's the complete opposite.

10 OVA wasn't the best one in Hellsing Ultimate serie. Gag style at the end was annoying. Not so much action aswell.. Alucard death came just too easly.

Still Hellsing Ultimate is my favourite anime so far. I like it so much as Dragon Ball.
So hard to find this days dark, strong, interesting main character. Alucard always was BAD ass vampire without cheesy shiet.

I missed having some background on what exactly happened with Walter in 1944 and a look at how Abraham Hellsing defeated Alucard back in the day. Episode 10 wasn't the best, and the epilogue at the end dragged a bit, but episodes 4-9 must rank as some of the most incredible, over the top animation extravaganzas ever to come out of Japan. Great series. I look forward to a complete box set soon.

Finally it is over, finally! Just as epic as the manga, which is my 2nd favorite from everything I've ever read so far. I'm really glad they decided to animate the part about Major's past as to why he's a cyborg. If I'm missing anything about this, it's a bit more time for Seras and Alucard's reunion at the end... but oh well, can't get everything and this OVA was already epic as it is ^^

But I must quote Integra here...

"You're late. Too late. So late", Hellsing.
This project took so long I was already losing hope at some point, way too long. How many years has it been since we started this? Geez... I know we can thank the awesome quality because of that, but even despite that it's so long. It didn't quite take 30 years at least, lol

One of the best animes ever, 10/10, obviously :) This is truly a masterpiece

Took it nearly 6 years. So roughly 1ep per 7months? I'm glad i didn't wait that long, less than 1year in my case, but still i agree that that's way too long >.< If i want to truly enjoy this anime i'll have to rewatch it again sometime.

Kind of disappointing. The OVAs started pretty strong in my opinion and went downhill after that. I'm a sucker for character development so the lack of it was one of the most glaring bad points in my eyes, but oh well. Fun ride nonetheless. I'm happy that I haven't waited so long - I marathoned the 10 OVAs this week and watching them one after the other was pretty nice but it showed the flaws as well. 7/10 in my book.

Just fantastic. I am very glad it ended with the quality it started with... I am also glad future viewers can watch all the episodes in succession, without having to wait like we all did.

Am I the only person who WANTED Alucard to bite Integra and make her a vampire? Can you imagine how badass she'd be?? Plus, I find her and Alucard should never be separated... I love their partner ship.

Other than that, this show/ending was perfect, and the comedic elements didn't bother me. Maybe it's because I've seen so much random comedy mixed with seriousness (I have watched a lot of SHAFT shows after all..) that this didn't bother me.

All in all, 10/10. Just a superb adaptation, infinitely better than the TV series, and better than most animes ever conceived.

No, of course you're not the only one. I was wishing for that to happen too. But at the same time, I feel that would go against Integra's character and everything she stands for.
She is a human among monsters, a normal among an army of different kinds of demons, yet at no time do we get a feeling she is less capable because of that. On the contrary, that's what makes her, a mere mortal, even more formidable and awe-inspiring. As Joker would put it "There's nothing mere about that mortal."

Well, that was fun; however, the finale ended up being less bloody than I anticipated - which might sound strange since there were actual rivers of blood at one point.

Anyway, this episode was not my favorite of the series but it was still pretty good. My main problems were with the comedy stuff that they brought back at the end that did not fit at all; and a number of the speeches that were given throughout the episode felt a bit overlong. But it concluded things pretty well and still had its share of entertaining moments.

On the whole, I really liked the series. The action sequences, the characters, and just the overall atmosphere were fun to watch. Not entirely sure what I will rate this yet but probably 8, possibly 9, out of 10.

At this point, I'm honestly getting tired of the people hating on the comedy. They keep going "It wasn't necessary!", "Why did they put this here?", "It's so out of place!".
Honestly, has ANY of you even read the manga? ALL of the comedy was in it. The whole selling point for the anime was that it was closer to the manga. And, believe it or not, it actually contributes to the character development.
Also, for the people who were disappointed with the ending:
The ending was pretty decent, actually. It's just that the wait had been so long that people had expected even more action than any of the other episodes. If you start watching Hellsing Ultimate NOW, then I doubt that the ending would've disappointed.
The only thing that I disliked, were the horrible degradation of the animation during episode 8-10 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFjF4bgKUhM)

I'm just glad it's finally over. I already read and finished the manga long ago and was excited when Hellsing Ultimate was announced to be more closer to the manga. I would get see out some of my favorite manga scenes in full animation glory. However the long execution it took for this series to get to the end was just...tiring. Even some of the scenes seem to be dragged out longer than normal(my gawd The Major seem to drag on even longer in animation form..).

I never really liked the ending from the original manga so I wasn't expecting to be wowed anyways on finale. Regardless, finally some conclusion. Thank you Hellsing for being an entertaining, silly vampire gorefest.

What a badass, he fought millions of vampires for 30 years.

The action in this episode was nice, Seras kicked ass. I found Walter's death to be pretty sad.

I thought Alucard wouldn't come back at the end but I'm glad he did.

This series has finally come to an end. It has been a fun ride.

Overall 8.5/10
