| I know this seems like an obvious answer question but in all honesty I'm completely confused. Which comes first? |
| Moved to series discussion. Hellsing is the old original series, which diverged in to an "anime original" story after a few episodes. Hellsing Ultimate are newer OVAs that are manga loyal, and rather more gritty. It's not a matter of sequels or prequels or anything, Ultimate is a remake that is more loyal to the original story. |

OOOooooOOoohhhh I see! So I need to watch both then! :) Well Asako I thank you again for helping me in such a quick manner. |
| Hellsing Ultimate becomes 100% different from ep 3 and on so don't think it would make it less enjoyable to watch the original first. you could watch it by itself but if you like it should watch Ultimate anyway. |
 |
| So basically Hellsing Ultimate is like to Hellsing as Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is to Full Metal Alchemist? |
| basically for the most part |
| |
| My advice? Watch Hellsing first.. then divulge yourself and watch Hellsing Ultimate. Hellsing Ultimate has some elements of the original series... but nothing too telling (There are MANY differences.). When you watch Hellsing Ultimate you will be blown away. I am certain of that. So why not watch them as they were presented? Watch Hellsing first, which is good/great... THEN go into Hellsing Ultimate which is immaculate/incredible!! |

dangerscoming said: Ummm, Should I watch Hellsing: The Dawn (a 3 episode special) that's apparently the prequel to "Hellsing Ultimate" or can I just start "Hellsing Ultimate" like it is? I was hoping to find an answer to this too, but I hadn't any luck. It's sad to see this thread just died out. Bumping it in case anyone can/wants to provide an answer. |

Ow god wow, this is ancient. And I kind of don't care at this point hahaha, I already watched Hellsing. I still want to know though, whether I should watch the prequel OVA before or after Hellsing Ultimate. I mean, even if it's a prequel chronologically, there might be pacing issues or whatever, so I want to make sure before jumping in. |
