If you're a fan of the Vampire Hunter D films and novels, Hellsing Ultimate is yet another of the great anime vampire epics!

Fans of the Manga have been waiting for a more proper animated treatment of their beloved Alucard and gang. Where anime had it's merits and certainly did some things right, it ultimately failed in the end, with a poorly done final villain and a cliffhanger ending that leads nowhere, the OVA is set to follow the manga from beginning to end!

The Order of Protestant Knights, known also as Hellsing; have the ultimate tool for vanquishing a growing epidemic of vampires: Another vampire, Alucard! The "Hit man" of Hellsing.

When a girl named Seras Victoria is caught in the crossfire when Alucard is cleaning up a recent threat, she reaches out to him. She reluctantly becomes a creature of the night and is soon swept into the Maelstrom as an enemy of the world looms in the distance, hoping to settle an old score; especially Alucard.

The art style is awesome, capturing the same dark and gritty look of the manga, the fights that were intense and frantic in the manga become heart stopping sequences that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

With strange and powerful foes ranging from Homicidal brothers, insane fanatical priest to vampire Nazis; Alucard and Seras have their work cut for them.

The music is awesome and capture each moment well, with pumping techno as the action builds and to haunting melodies as the horror intensifies. The Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra lends their talent to each epic ending theme of the OVA's.

This is a series for everyone, if you love vampire, blood and gore and action, Hellsing does not disappoint!
