Hellsing Ultimate Reviews

After been waiting for a long time, finally Hellsing Ultimate 3 is here! This episode starts with the aftermath of the attack that took much of episode's 2 time and then follows Alucard, Victoria and a new guy on their trans-continental quest to find out more about the Millennium organization (with help from the less expected source, I must say...) The CGI-loaded animation is still the same, and I've seen people who have loved it and people who have hated it, so for this one, either you love it or hate it, your feelings will be the same. The soundtrack keeps going with it's epic-oriented tracks that add a very good atmosphere to the OVA.

This episode is blood/gore loaded, much more than the previous two, so if you felt uneasy about that, you probably don't want to see this one. This episode is violence-packed with a more conspiracy-like plot and a really good duel (that didn't show up in the original series) where Alucard has the opportunity to show his powers once more. There are also a couple of funny scenes to break the tension of the moment.

At the ending credits we get an animated teaser of the past of Alucard and Walter that is told in Hellsing: The Dawn.

I've watched the 3 so-far released OVA episodes of Hellsing Ultimate, and so far I have to say I am thoroughly impressed.

This is one awesome series, Alucard continues to be one of my favorite characters of late, and I love how the show incorporates all the mythos of Dracula into the character.

The show's animation is extremely good, and the violence and the gore is somewhat refreshing considering anime as a whole really only shows blood. You wouldn't think adding gore into the mix would make a difference, but it certainly does. I'm eagerly awaiting the rest of the OVAs.
