| That guy was crazy. |
| i've watched this on the funimation blu ray, and i was mildly disappointed with the quality. sometimes it looks like DVD quality, other times it's BD. like the scene when Sera's talking about the coffin with Walter. you can see how low quality it is :\ but other than that amazing episode as always. i wonder if the JPN BD are much better(as always) the weapons prepared by Walter are the best!!! i also almost forgotten how awesome Walter is(The Angel of Death!) the Valentine brother's got fucked up so bad, and i feel sorry for Integra having to kill her comrades herself. Luke got scared at the Vampire master :P the next episode is gonna be interesting!!!!!! love this series, i might read the manga soon! |
PrinceHeir said: i wonder if the JPN BD are much better(as always) No, they are the same. Thing is, episodes 1-5 were originally DVD-only, episode 6 was the first one to hit BDs. Later they've remastered 1-5 into the new format, OVA1 looked the worst, so it has been redrawn heavily taking much of the time and budget, so now it is one of the best looking episodes. OVA2 was one of the best looking on DVDs, so I have a feeling they've got to it last when there were no time and money left. OVA3 looks more HD-ish overall, OVA4 only have one blurry scene in the beginning, OVA5 is all good except maybe for a paler color scheme at times (was also paler on DVD, almost like that's the way they wanted it to be for some reason). |

Nice gun: |

| I enjoyed the first episode but this was definitely an improvement. It was more focused and the fight scenes were better too. Also, even more blood this time around - if they keep steadily increasing it each time then I bet the finale will just be pure blood. |
| not exactly most interesting story, but nice gore, murder action! |

| "Boo Boo People Murder People"....for some reason that really sticks with me. There were some really cool action set pieces this episode. |

Hakuromatsu said: Am I the only one that prefers the TV series to this so far? After watching the TV series and then watching this, Hellsing Ultimate will feel a little bit weird, especially because the pacing is so different. You also watched the TV series already. For instance, if the last episodes of Code Geass were really amazing (I haven't watched it so far) and you start watching something like, Steins;Gate and you only watched like, two or three episodes, of course you'd prefer Code Geass so far, even though you might like Steins;Gate more than Code Geass when you finished it. It's pretty much the same here. |
| Alucard is so badass. He made that guy hopped for his life on one leg. xD |

It's pretty much the same here. No, the first 2-3 episodes of S;G were better than anything Code Geass had to offer, and it's somewhat similar here. Hellsing Ultimate is too bombastic for it's own good; it's like a self-caricature. Everything that the OVA touts over the TV series -- the animation, the violence, the language -- is overexaggerated to the point of losing its impact. The TV series isn't perfect in that regard, either, but it's better. And, to add to that, the comparatively lighter style of the TV series compliments the ridiculousness of Hellsing's premise. The jazzier music is a good example of that: it makes the over-the-top bloody action sequences fun, as opposed to the heavyhanded orchestral music of Ultimate, which serves to make it...well, heavyhanded. When I first heard about Millennium before starting Ultimate I thought, "cool, Nazis in a vampire story, the absurdity of that sounds like a lot of fun." But it's not fun, largely because Ultimate is trying to portray Millennium (so far, anyway) as a deadly serious organization in an unironic way, when it's not. It's a bunch of Neo-Nazis in a vampire story. And really, the music is the biggest part of that. Ultimate tries to present itself as less serious with the chibi sequences, but that just whips the mood around until it curdles. The contrast is too stark for it to do any good because you could remove the chibi sequences and the rest of the episode wouldn't seem any more serious. Of course, my opinion could change since I've only seen three episodes. But right now, I'm sorry, this is tedious. |
| Brilliant episode, Alucard's abilities are awesome and I feel like I still haven't seen anything 4/5 |

| I hate to tell you this but Hellsing tv version is shit. Shit animation, shit story structure, shit anime only additions, ghouls don't bleed wtf, but the decide to add blowjob scenes so whats the point toning down violence if you going to add sexual shit, Incognito is shit, also so much about the story doesn't add up in tv version, you never know why the vamp chips have nazi swatzika on them, you never learn why they doing this, Alucard is barely in it, Seras is more prominent but even more useless, no Wild Geese... you know what I will be here all day if I had to list everything that is shit about the tv version. So I will simply end it with the few things it did alright. The dub is pretty authentic, Alucard is badass and music is pretty unique, though personally I don't think it fits. Thats it everything else... its shit. |
| damn! XD it is really awesome.. no too awesome! XD the valentine brothers finally come.. so fast btw :3 DAT scene when the ghoul shooting from the buss! XD YEY YEAH! XD and luke sword's skill is really awesome.. way too awesome..! XD and it is gonna be more awesome with nazi on it! XD |
Veethorn said: Integra is a much more interesting character in the OVA version than in the TV series with no doubt. I agree. Plus, I like how she interacts with Victoria more. In the TV series, her character was too distant and independent. |
| I have a feeling that after finishing this series, I'll have Alucard as one of my favorite characters, just seeing him completely destroy Luke was beyond words. |
| Damn that Jan guy was an annoying little bitch. I hate those gangster types. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
| Very nice episode. I loved from the beginning the reference to "before" vamipire's life of Alucard,it seems that all his family was killed,but was he good or bad? And wow.something related to Nazi army,i thin we will get a lot of fights here :D |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Alucard is a freaking beast! Didn't this happen towards the end of the TV series? And Star Wars club, Millennium Falcon??!! LOL! Mangaka must be a fan XD |
| Damn amazing episode I must say, really enjoyed the whole development and action! Let's see what the next episode has to offer but damn this sure is interesting as hell! Lol @ the Star Wars reference :p |
 |
| the the one brother that was constantly talkin shit was amazing i was laughin so hard i wanted him to live |
| Things are getting intresting :3 |
  |
| Wow that was freakin awesome, especially when I watch this with my brain off (because I am tired as f). It was pretty tragic when Integra had to put her ghoul subordinates to rest. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Very entertaining episode full of bloody action. I like that just about all of the characters are actually contributing something here. Walter seems pretty awesome (the Angel of Death title only makes him sound even more cool), Seras is wreaking havoc and Alucard is just a badass as expected. Also Integra taking up the role of putting them out of their misery was a fitting end. "Welcome to Hellsing." |
 |
| deffinetively better than the first episode seems they will be throwing in all the cutesy mood swings with seras and whatnot, it kind of ruins the badassery and dark tone i got used to from the tv series which i actually really liked and is it just me or did they make alucard.... more pretty? he looks too young sometimes, and has kinda feminine and stylished facial feautures when he takes the glasses off in the tv series he seemed 30 yo+ and he was ugly as fuck, it was pretty badass that way tbh his voice sounds older than he looks, it totally suited him in the original series on the other hand shame shame shame oh well.. |
 |
| militrix Just to be clear with one major thing. Old Hellsing TV series is not quite the original Hellsing. The original Hellsing that started all of this is Hellsing manga. They've started animating Hellsing TV series when only 3 out of 10 manga volumes were ready, so there actually were not enough material to work with, yet they went with it anyway, putting huge fillers in-between, so some supporting one-off characters got more development that they originally had to, some appeared out of the thin air, plus from the second half the TV series went completely its own direction that has nothing to do with the original manga at all. Hellsing Ultimate on the other hand respects the original pretty much all the time with only minor additions, cuts and rearrangements, mostly in early episodes. |

kie_ said: wow much better than the tv show this exactly, enjoyed this so much. |
| "I'm heading to the basement." Immediately after Luke Valentine said that I thought "no...no you don't want to go there" haha. Well look at what happened to him. All bark and no bite, pun intended. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| That was a tremendous waste of human resources. Cash down the drain. If your organization's personnel are unable to deal with the lowest potential threats in the business (namely ghouls) then you've been doing your training wrong. |
| Holy crap that was brutal! Walter was a complete badass. Alucard completely bitchslapped Valentine and the Hellsing organization was decimated. Hell even a Star Wars reference. Can't wait for next week! And also NAZI'S!!!!! |
 |
| Holy tits shit! I was told to watch this(by many many people) show when i just finished Black Lagoon and i was looking for something like it, but i kept putting it off because vampires... Ugh i just hate the entire vampires, zombies genre but omg omfg i'm so pissed i didn't watch this shit immediately! I don't care if it is vampires and gouls or what ever this is the most epic shit i've seen in months, i'm in love its everything i love in anime this is the reason i watch anime to find and adore gems like these. I'm so happy toonami started airing it other wise i probably wouldn't have watched this for some time still. Fucking awesome episode! Limbs being ripped off, gushing blood everywhere ohhh goddddd i love it!! I'm buying this shit as soon as i get paid! This is a real vampire, not that twilight sparkly shit. But for real what the fuck is this vampire guy(idk his name to lazy to find out), he like Satan himself? What was that seal he released!? ~Never watched the tv version btw, everyone said don't bother or if anything watch this first.~ |
| Seras = So hot. |
| Loved it!! The plot was definitely better than the pilot, with Hellsing manor being attacked by the Valentine brothers and their army of ghouls and Alucard & co trying to protect the Round Table Members, whereas the first episode only contained random hunting of vampires. Alucard showed he's not someone you want to mess with, ever. God, he's like a super super vampire. And damn that was some badass grandpa, not that I wasn't expecting it from someone who works as a personal aide to the Hellsing family head. Though I was pleasantly surprised to learn he was human, I had tagged him as a vampire from his first appearance. Loooooved Seras' gun/sniper or whatever it was. The only thing that I can complain about was Seras being used as fan service material, again. Though her struggle with her vampirism against her humanity could be used very well to flesh out her character more in the coming episodes, as it was hinted at in this one. And am I the only one who thinks the animation quality improved from the previous episode? Music was good, especially for the fighting scenes. Also Alucard's flashback was a bonus. I hope the series explains his origins or at least how he became what he is. |
 |
| Much better fight between Arucard and Luke in this one. |
| Yes!! Star Wars, Millennium Falcon and Han Solo |
 |
| Another nice episode, I'm not really sure how to rate this show. I really like Alucard and Seras but something's missing to be a 9+. |
| Wow, this anime is seriously amazing. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I am, this episode impressed me alot. 10/10 for me! |
 |
| Awesome episode full of action. Crazy to see how powerful some of these vampires are. |
| Fuck it. Every signature I upload ends up removed anyways. |
| fucking intense episode...Arucard badass af. Jan's vulgarness was pretty awesome, too bad he dieded. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I really don't understand why is there a comedy part in this thing. It was horrible in FMA:B and now here...totally ruins the mood, just let the dark story stay dark, ffs. |
| Huge body count this episode! Its pretty sad to see all those Hellsing agents get killed. I'm surprised there weren't more fighter on par with the butler among the humans. I hope we eventually get the story of how Alucard began serving the Hellsing family. souledge94 said: I really do like the comedy bits. Its a nice breather from all the violence and blood. I agree. I think the presence of humor expands the range of emotion you experience while watching a show. I like that this show doesn't take itself to seriously. |
