I have watched now a solid 10/11 animes, both old and new.
I actually stumbled upon this anime watching a parody on Team Four Star's youtube channel because I thought the DBZ abridged series is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
So this was my first real anime I have ever watched, and so I had no preference or expectations.
This is the only anime I have watched besides FMAB that gets it from beginning to end.
Plot, writing, character development, animation, soundtrack, versatility, and an ability to tie some historical truths into a fictional supernatural story.
In just 10 long episodes, the atmosphere and intensity picks up every single episode. Even in the middle when Alucard isn't in it, still keeps going with more focus on the evolution of Seras and Anderson.
Without spoiling it (hopefully), there is a 3 way protagonist/antagonist scenario going forth throughout and by the end of it, you don't really know who you are even rooting for anymore.
The Major, is by far the best "antagonist" I have ever seen, other than maybe Toguro from YYH.
The music is amazzzzziinnggg, especially toward the end of the anime.
Alexander Anderson, Alucard's main rival, is someone who is truly well written, even without knowing his past, he sticks so hard to his beliefs, despite hating what Alucard represents, he actually grows to respect his abilities.
10/10 easily. The original anime Hellsing, was awful and wasn't tied to the manga, so do not get the two confused and make sure you're watching Hellsing Ultimate! ENJOY!
