| Mmm I started this anime to see what all the hype was about and so far I haven't been disappointed. I was never really a fan of anime that were 1 hour long(per episode), but I was kept entertained from beginning to end so that's a pretty good. Anyways, enjoying it so far, hopefully it can keep it up! :) |

| Already the first episode beats the whole TV series. The art is so amazing, not to mention the animation, and the music has improved a whole lot as well. I like the new character art, especially the eyes look pretty cool to me. The fight between Alucard and Anderson was boss. I loved it. The only thing that I could possibly dislike is that if you watched the TV series first, it will feel rushed. The whole second episode was almost completely skipped. It was indeed unnecessary, but it feels kinda weird. Otherwise, amazing episode. |
The first episode was awesome. Way better then the original series. The animation wasn't bad, and I loved the soundtrack when Alucard regenerated after Anderson decapitated him.  dat smile |

PrinceHeir said: just rewatched this after funimation announced the BD and will have english voices as well as the returning cast. it's been 2.5 years now since i last watched the series. i also remember how the fight scenes are tons better than the original anime. this is one of the very very few anime's were the english cast is on par if not arguably better than the japanese cast. and wow the animation is godly, i just wished the voice is as clear as the special effects since the english dub tend to sound lower then suddenly louder out of nowhere. there's a reason why Hellsing Ultimate is one of the best OVA's ever made. it's like the jump from Fullmetal Metal Alchemist to Brotherhood. the former is good, but the latter is much much better and more complete. and wow it's been awhile since i last heard Crispin Freeman. i remember his voice when i played Xenosaga Ep I-III last year. good times :) although i still wish Yasushi Ishii at least made contributions in this film. he has one of the redeeming features of the original anime. can't wait to get up to date in this series!! Love Crispin Freeman. Any character he voices always ends up to be good. |

| hmm I see.. it is just like hellsing 2002 but more amazing and more awesome and more crazy.. and more detail.. XD I love it so far.. XD it is awesome.. damn new uniform for seras XD awesome..! XD really hot XD and she got some crazy dream in the beginning XD |
| Soooo much better than Hellsing so far :D I'm loving this OVA series <3 |
| Not really liking the ost right now |
| Just finished watching Hellsing,so i decided to watch Hellsing Ultimate. The first episode is almos the same as the first episodes of the Original anime. The graphics are pretty good.They changed a few things comapared to the original anime,but i still the original part were there,and i think some changes make it better,showing us a differente version. I still don't know if the whole anime will be different,or it will be all the same(a remake).Or it's only now the same as the original anime,so we will be presented to the anime. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| That was pretty awesome, pretty much the same as the series of this part but still pretty great. Also Seras is so much hotter here :3 But what was with that funny dream of hers? o.O |
| It was okay, good OST. Nothing really special yet, some scenes were cool however, like Alucard's resurrection. dedvg said: Sir_Lexa said: JohnGalt89 said: Also, with Jouji Nakata facing off against Norio Wakamoto it was like a battle of the awesome voices.

| I knew it was going to be good but I did not expect it to be this good! I'm quite blown away by the different from the original series and these OVA's especially that Wakamoto Norio voiced Iscariot which automatically makes an anime way better than normal as his voice is just too damn epic for words! We'll this show sure has a lot more potential than first expected so let's see what this time Hellsing will offer! |
 |
| That was pretty awesome. Cant wait to see more. |
| Finally decided to watch this,it's ben 2 years since i watched the series but the ova's look way better. |
  |
| A bit too much of a mess. Seems like they were trying to squeeze in multiple episodes into one. Nevertheless, I love the gore, albeit it's a bit over the top. |

| Mmm, I'm loving the quality of the animation. The pace seems like it's a bit quick, despite this being an hour long. Anyway, Seras is already a much more likable character here than in the TV series. Really excited for episode 2. |

| oooookay, this was nothing special, considering how much i liked the tv version so far it seems like they dumbed down all the characters (they seem to have no personality tbh, specially sera, they cut a big chunk of the development she showed in the tv series) also i miss the really cool ost from the tv version, and it seems they got rid of fargason, meh and for some reason in the tv series just had a bigger feeling of coolness to it, it also felt more serious bussiness in general, but oh well will keep watching anyways |

| Holy crap THAT WAS AWESOME! O____O Why...why didn't I watch this sooner?! |

| So if only virgins can become vampires then that means Alucard was a virgin when he became a vampire! lololololol |

| The story and pacing was a bit jarring compared to the original series, not a fan of that. But otherwise this is what I always imagined an uncut version of Hellsing to be. Looking forward to the rest of the series. |
 |
| I dropped the manga and couldn't even watch the first episode of the original tv series. So I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this ova. |
| Pretty neat episode... of course Alucard looks to be the most promising among all the cast introduced till now. the animation quality was a bit of a downer but as the OVAs were released over a long period of time I've got hope that it will improve. plot was ok, though it's only setting up the stage for what's to come, at least that's how it should be, or I'll be baffled at its popularity. loved the random Amen that guy was shouting and I think choosing the two factions of Christianity as rivals was a smart choice. |
 |
| Damn so fast-paced |
 |
| Sigh, if i knew this was an alternative version to the original hellsing i wouldn't have wasted my time with the original, but still had a few complaints about this. I have to admit i prefer the art style of the original to this, the character designs are too slim and shallow and look dated, there was also several scenes of contorted poses by characters which made them look silly. I felt it's trying too hard to present the characters as dark but with a rating of 8.70, hopefully it gets better. |

| Holy. Fuck. That. Was. Badass. I'm already hooked on this OVA series just based how it cool this first episode was. Alucard is insane and creepy, but awesome all the same, Anderson just fucking creepy and Seras is a babe. The animation was also breathtaking at points, usually when showing detail in the action scenes. I usually prefer 25 min episodes over 50 min in anime, but considering it was 50 minutes of this epicness I didn't mind the length one bit. Plus it also allowed for better pacing and detail, which I assume will continue throughout the ten installments. I haven't seen the original Hellsing anime, but if its anything like this I'll be sure to watch it, and I can't wait to watch the rest of THIS series. Already getting a 10/10 from me. |
 |
| Some things have changed... It got through so much so quickly in one episode, which took the original a few to do. The animation/quality/artstyle will take time to get used to, but I like it. The Outro? Loving it already. |
| The gun animation was beautiful, I just realized it was 50 min long after I finished watching. Time just flew |
 |
| Wow didn't expect the pacing to be THAT fast. How many episodes from the TV series were this, 3 or 4? Animation was good as always as expected from Madhouse. Seras is much more interesting in this so far, this'll be a fun ride :) |
| I really enjoyed this episode. It has nice animation and an interesting story, I look forward to seeing what the rest has to offer! |
 |
| Really nice first Episode. I really like the OVA but I think I still like the regular show a tiny bit more. Here you have tons more of blood (LOVE THAT *_*) but there is a bit more comedy in some scenes. And even if is not that much, the TV show is more serious and has all the way through this dark feeling that I like so much *-* |
 |
| I found it good. Very very beautiful considering it's from 2006, awesome OST's and awesome action. The only thing I didn't like (at all) was the plot, because plotwise it wasn't interesting for me. |
| That was indeed enjoyable. Just waiting to see what happens next. |
| Good start, but damn 50 min for an episode! that's a bit too long. |
| One of the best shows ever released. |
 |
| Shit this is my 3rd time rewatching this. I actually stop at Episode VIII because Funimation took awhile to bring IX and X. But now i'm determine to finish it this time around! Good stuff!!! The animation despite being 10 years old still holds up to this day! I'll just quote my comment 4 freaking years ago!!!

| Duuuuuuude. Dare I say that was a hell of a first episode? Nothing but nonstop adrenaline and blood boiling excitement. I've heard Alucard's name mentioned among the many legends in anime and so far I'm not disappointed. Only thing I didn't like was the comedy. Too poorly timed and sometimes the angst can get comedic in and of itself. Otherwise beyond a solid start even if it was lightning fast. |

Did you watch this dub or sub? I canr seem to get into it because it seems like such a time sink Right now dub. Probably the only series I waited till the dub was finished. Both are amazing, but there's something about the dub that fits the anime. Yes there's a lot of time you need to watch, but very worth it. Just watched one episode a week and you'll be surprised how quickly it ends :) |
| This was a badass start. Didn't expect Alucard to get destroyed in the first episode. Really liking the art in this series. |
 |
| What a great start, everything was just BA i hope it's going to be consistant. The ED gave me chills. |
| Better visuals! More OTT action! I hope they aren't trying to turn this into comedy. Anderson's engrish scene was spectacular, it had to be replayed multiple times and Seras' random art change was random but I would prefer it to be serious. I'm getting the feeling this is going to be alot darker and have plot compared to the original... that's if the comedy-like scenes are one offs. |
 |
| Great first episode. The fight scenes look amazing, and I'm excited to see where this Catholic vs. Hellsing war goes. |
