Hellsing Ultimate is a great anime and is definitely a worthwhile watch for anyone into animes such as Tokyo Ghoul and Death Note, and as well as anyone who is a fan of a suspense, horror, and the ever present theme of death and life, all rolled into a blanket of Nazism. Yes, Nazis. Though I found the show extremely riveting and exciting at the very first episode, I have to address a small issue with this anime.
I found it extremely exciting, but it also has way to many 'sexual' scenes that are unnecessary. These incidents are small enough to still enjoy the show
...
VERY much, but I do feel as though anyone who wants to watch this anime needs to be aware of this. I also feel as though the character Seras Victoria only looks the way she does to attract the heterosexual male audience. Again, this can be overlooked in the grand scheme of the show, but if I were to change one thing about it, it would definitely be the number of fanservice-esque situations Seras is in.
Having loved this show I like to look into the characters' personalities and physical/appearance attributes in this anime as well as others. I have found that this anime goes above and beyond in adding depth to these characters and especially in the category of names. Though not all of the names have 'deep' meanings behind them, an AMAZING portion of them do, and once you look up the origin of many of these names you will find exactly how much thought went into making this anime.
Last thing I have to praise this anime for is the style of the show. The animation, voice acting, and music are at the top of my list of favorites and for good reason. Most of the voice actors do a very good job, and even though some of the voice actors could use some work on their accents, (I have only found this to be true of the German characters) the voice acting overall are some of the best English voices I've seen in a show. Moving to animation, some do not like how the characters are drawn (I don't know how, the art is quite common of this genre) , but once again these people seem to get hung up on Seras. Yes, she does look a little strange at times, but this isn't something that is going to bother you enough to stop watching the show as everything else about it is absolutely fabulous.
Overall, I give this anime an 8.5 out of 10, which is my way of saying you have to watch this show before you die!
