The story in Hellsing is great. The series follows the story of the Hellsing Organization, a group made to destroy vampires. Though the story may seem simple, it keep getting complex. The progress is perfect, introducing us to characters, situations, and completely new concepts. Though this series is only 13 episodes, there's never a chance to get lost or overwhelmed by information.
Art:
I personally love darker themed Anime. The art in Hellsing is extremely dark, setting the mood well. This series has a very simplistic feel to it, but that only makes it more enjoyable. There are many scenes with a red or black focus, or a black/white contrast. There were never scenes that seemed out of place, or environments that seemed out of place either.
Sound:
Hellsing has in my opinion, some of the best sound. There's plenty of little details that this series took time not to miss. Also, the subbed and dubbed are both equally as enjoyable. Also, as silly as it may be of a detail, most sounds are consistent throughout the series. Little details matter as far as sound goes, and this series does a great job noticing that.
Character:
This series has some of the best characters by far. The leader of Hellsing is actually a believable, strong, and mostly realistic female. Needless to say, Alucard's character is extremely cruel. Then, there's also the female torn between both worlds. It really does make for the most interesting character interactions. I always found myself interested in every character, not just a few.
Enjoyment Overall:
Hellsing is by far one of my favorite series so far. The characters are amazing, the art is great, and the story puts it all together. For people looking for a horror series with violence, blood, fights, and more ...this is it. Some may not enjoy the darker humor or bloody scenes, but if you're looking specifically for that you've found it. The only bad thing is there are only 13 episodes.
