The Hellsing Ultimate series is shaping up to be an awesome piece of work.
The first episode is almost disappointing. What you get in the first episode is almost a complete recap of the first few shows in the original series. The Ultimate series however is set at a much faster pace, has a new sound track, and the animation is more crisp. You get the same exact story as the original, and thats what seems disappointing.
At the end of episode two the you learn about the Millennium organization, something left out of the original series. It episode two adds a lot more depth and substance to the new series. The story starts to stray from the original TV series, and starts to catch interest a lot more.
Episode three is where the similarities between the new and old end. Right away we find out Hellsing hires Major Bernadotte and his army as hired guns. "Enrico Maxwell" informs Integra what Millennium is and the Vatican's ties with Millennium Organization. We see a new character "Tubalcaine Alhambra" who engages Alucard in an awesome battle, each showing there tremendous power.
In episode three you really see the character development start to take place. Its nice to see a bit more depth in the characters.
There are also comical scenes in the anime in what looks like cut-out animation, sometimes its funny, other times its annoying.
After watching the first three Ultimate episodes, I rate this a 10.
I have never read the manga, I have only watched the original "TV Series"
