I had two minor points of confusion this time. It was a huge stretch that Integra's handler/supplier (forget his name) would still be alive after a zombie raid that killed everyone else in the building, much less limber enough to rig the place with semtex. If it was already set up before the raid, then why not use during the first raid? He had no way of knowing he would survive afterall. I had a hard time wrapping my head around this. It was kind of dumb to cutaway from the raid and cutback after everyone is dead except one, and have the audience wonder how the fuck he is alive.

Penwood was his name.
It was better outlined in the manga: after the first raid Penwood was not the last man standing, there was at least one other guy besides him in the room and that guy knew how to shoot his gun. Still he was injured and bitten, accordingly he thought he will turn into a ghoul soon, so he said his farewells and shot himself through the head, leaving Penwood alone just before the second raid.
They were not in a rush to blow the building because they've stayed there to be able to coordinate any leftover military forces in London, so the longer they were able to hold the line before the explosion, the better. And also this way they took more enemies with them.

Also, is Alexander's spiel at the end supposed to come off like the incoherent religious rambling of a lunatic, or is this just a subber issue? I was wondering if this was intentional.

that's enlightening. i can see why that would be cut for time, but it made for an awkward sort of transition.

This episode was insane. The invasion of London sequence is some of the most violent, ruthless action I've ever seen in any medium or genre.

Missed Alucard and Victoria a bit though, but I guess their time is coming.

I got only one word for this episode: EPIC

Could've used more Alucard though. Also, what the hell was up with that intro? Why does Alucard dream about Bruce Willis... xD

freaking epic :D

finally the animation improve in the BD(Funimation version) release.

lots of gore and blood i love it!!!

even the baby death has been animated!

though i still wonder why the voices are low in the BD release.

even the special effects weren't as effective as it looks like.

if your gonna blow out a building, make sure you actually hear and feel the effect of it.

Walter in action!!!!

the anderson monologue is awesome!!

don't know why people are complaining about it.

though the bad side about this is it was only 40mins compared to other episodes which consist of 52mins+.

amazing stuff, can't wait for the next one!!

I am with you on the intro thing - it was pretty strange. Not really a fan of all the "comedy" portions of this series because they feel out of place and aren't really that funny.

As for the rest of the episode, I think brutal is a good way to describe it. It was really fun to watch though - especially the whole Iscariot thing at the end. Anderson is completely crazy but that's what makes him great. Though it would have been nice if Alucard had made more of an apperance.

So many minutes wasted on that dude. I don't even remember him from the first few episodes. Appearing a few times doesn't mean that he must have a long goodbye scene.

Overall, the episode was more interesting than the previous. Probably because of the lack of Alucard. Too bad they didn't focus on Walter, but thankfully Integra had some cool scenes.

Yeah, this series could really only work as an OVA. Absolutely no punches were pulled here, it was a blood bath from beginning to end and it even managed to make me a bit uncomfortable. So many great scenes such as the mass slaughter with the Major gleefully eating dinner, Penworth's scenes, the car chase, and Anderson's battle at the end. This series is more than able to carry itself without Alucard.

Does Britain always let strange airships fly over its country without shooting them down?

Anyway, does its job in the bloody carnage, badassery galore even if the whole concept here is ridiculous.

No matter how awesome you all think the whole things is, all I can think is to let the population down like that all these asshole are useless!!!! In Hellsing it is never about the protection of the innocent, but just about how great their organization is, nothing else don't matter.

LMFAO @ Bruce Willis movie references!
Alexander Anderson, you sir are one crazy badass mofo! I am glad to share the same name with you :)

Hmm, so the ship was just a bait to lure Alucard away from England as I expected. Surprised Integra didn't see through that.

Also, a freaking baby was eaten in this episode!!!

This episode was fucking incredible!

First we get that bat-shit crazy opening with "Willis", lol... Then we have that whole sequence where Millennium drops into Britain. There were some great character moments thereafter, and they end it with a bang.

Some people missed Alucard, and sure, that's a bit of a bummer. However, this was actually my favorite episode of the series so far, just in terms of the pacing and the overall direction. Man, it was great!

LMAO bruce willis parody. Ill give it to that fat evil nazi basterd he knows not to underesimate the hellsing group. That coup was quickly squashed lol. I give penwood props man. Even though he scared as all hell he stood. I personally would have ran lol. Im cool with violence and everything but when babies are shown being killed it kinda becomes sour. They really went hard with the violence with this one. Penwood went out like a Fing boss. HOLY CRAP! that last part was freaking awesome!

Goddamn Father Anderson's speech was amazing. I'm still shocked Funimation was able to actually hire a real Scotsman for the voice and actually do a damn good job at it. A-fucking-men indeed.

This episode was just balls off the wall violent. Geezus, that one vampire soldier with the baby in his mouth. And these guys can even make ghouls too? Wow.

Even without Alucard, Iscariot XIII sure made short work of the invasion. Gotta wonder how the fuck the Vatican picked these "men of the cloth" up. Cause most priests aren't exactly gun-toting privy and trigger happy.

Literally almost dropped this on the first 3 minutes. The "comedy" is ruining so many otherwise good moments like Penwood and Integra's first meeting.

The massacre of London was brutal and honestly some of this is getting hard to stomach, especially the moment with the baby in the jaws of that vampire. Disappointed with the lack of Alucard, but that scene with Iscariot at the end was raw. I just wish they'd shut up now and then, they're always chanting their entire ethos in this show and it's like an inside joke that only they can fucking understand.
