For over a century, the Hellsing Organization has been secretly protecting the British Empire from the undead “freaks.” When Sir Integra Hellsing succeeded as the head of the organization, she also inherited the ultimate weapon against these undead enemies, a rogue vampire named Arucard. Armed with an enormous “anti-freak” gun and possessing mysterious and frightening powers, Arucard is forced to shoot Seras Victoria, a policewoman held hostage by a vampire. “Do you want to live?” he asks Seras, whose very answer changes the course of her existence. Now reborn as Arucard’s servant, Seras is torn between her conflicting humanity and her vampire urges…

I came to know the series from AMVs on youtube.
I then saw the series and wasnt that impressed, ending episode was lame but the overall plot of a KICK@$$ vampire, whos strangely attractive ^_~ was interesting enough to keep my attention.
I then saw the first Ultimate and was pretty impressed with the overall animation and better story line. Infact the whole ultimates are pretty good. My favorite is the forth.
I’d buy it but if you fear sinking money into it, you can always check them out on youtube, before theyre delete them, watch them and then decide weither to buy them or not.
Unfortuneately, I did see the 5th Ultimate and I was not totally let down. The fifth did have nice animation but the few minutes of the beginning of the movie was kinda pointless to me. Then again, If I was alucard, I would of done the same thing to that annoying spirit of his gun named jeckal-willis. I wasnt let down totally of the 5th but Im waiting for the 6th.
I do plan to buy the ultimate dvds but right now I’m fortuneate enough to have them on my ipod.

I have to say that when I watched the original hellsings I thought that as a series it left you hanging and some of the episodes seemed drawn out. I am not saying that in any way was it less than spectacular, but I just felt like there could have been more. And that is exactly what the Ultimates are. Every last one of them is the original series plus some. I would recommend this series to anyone and everyone. It is a dark trip through a world already explored.

For everyone who loves Hellsing and loves collectables: getting the Steelbook collectors edition of the OVA makes a wonderful gift for yourself or others. It has the collectable cover art on shiny light weight metal with inner plastic case that makes it better than just the normal plain old flimsy plastic cases.

The Good Things
*Excellent video/sound quality.
*This version of “Hellsing” has excellent imagery and graphics. It includes a lot of computer-generated-imagery, but none of it looks too hoaky or out-of-place. It is definately high quality animation.
*Excellent amount of bloody action. It is so fast and furious that it puts the old “Hellsing” show to shame. Also contains more comedy than before.
*Storyline is great. It is very very close to the original manga.
*Characters are splendid. Alucard is as psychotic as ever. Integra Hellsing is just as cold and vengeful as before, but not as mean. Saris Victoria is not as stiff, and is actually more clumsy and goofy; I think she is more fun to watch in this version. All other characters are lively, interesting, and great to watch.
*Some good lines throughout.
*Funky music (although I think the music in the old “Hellsing” show was better).
The Bad Things
*Not for the squeamish; contains lots of bloody violence, swearing, and suggestive material (rated TV-MA).
*A lot of stuff is packed into a single hour. As fast and condensed as everything is, it may be seen as overly compressed with not enough exposition.
The Other Things
*If you buy the single-disc version, you get little or no special features. The two-disc steelbook edition (although more expensive) includes a small wealth of interviews and textless credit scenes.
I thought a vampire action saga couldn’t get any better than “Hellsing”…until “Hellsing Ultimate” came out and blew it right out of the water. The “Ultimate” series has better animation quality, more action, livlier characters, more comedy, and above all, is much closer to the source material. It zips by pretty fast, but is wildly entertaining and never dull. Highly reccomended to anybody who enjoys anime or anything involving vampires.
