The voices are the best part, and what really made Hellsing Ultimate for me. Seras and Hellsing's British accents, the German antagonist and his ridiculous accent, it's all just so Tarantino-esque to me, and that's a good, no, great thing.
If you don't know the basic premise of the show based on the title it's (spoiler alert) about vampires. Specifically it's about Dra... I mean, Alucard (why doesn't he just call himself Vlad by the way?) and his "apprentice" the young and large chested former British police officer Seras.
It's got a lot of the same Vampire story tropes you've heard a dozen times: A main character who's a "young" vampire that's reluctant to kill people to feed herself, an insanely powerful and ancient vampire, Vampire hunters, etc.
If you've seen the older show from the 90's, you know some of the story already. I like that Hellsing Ultimate explained why Seras became a vampire, and none of her comrades in the police did: She was a virgin (how that happens with a body that exaggerated and an adorable English accent I have no idea). You'll also notice that, as an OVA series, Hellsing Ultimate will cover 2 seasons of the old series in 2 episodes.
all the story elements are still there, including the incredible foul mouthed vampire from season 1.
The story does start to get a little weird near the end, at least for me, otherwise I'd have rated it at 10. I won't spoil anything but I'll just say it starts to drag a little in the last two episodes and the end of the final battle elicited an "oh, come on!" from me.
Still a great series and definitely worth a watch. 10 episodes at around 50 minutes each, so it's pretty short, but they pack a lot of action, story, British accents, boobs, and of course lots of violence and gore into that 10 hours, so I'd recommend not watching it all in one day if you want to take bathroom breaks.
