Yo! Like I mention in the video, RUclips didn’t really enjoy some of the anime footage & songs I used lol so any support over on the Patreon to help out on these videos is always appreciated extra because RUclips can be a hellscape:
patreon.com/slimefancypants
Planning to have tons more of videos out this year just like this one, so thanks to any & everyone who’s helped support the ride along the way!!
You didn't notice Sera''s rifle is branded Vladimir Harkonen, the name of the old Baron from Dune who used cannons to defeat the Atredies forces in a time when conventional guns were no longer because of energy shields (he had the doctor shut them off cause he had the doctors wife hostage)
you want a good gun play manga with powers , try the kurohime!
Great vid :)
I was literally reading my copies of the Dark horse manga(hell I even got Crispin to sign my copy of the first volume) I somehow managed to buy the 10 volumes for 50$
Hellsing is the definition of cool and edgy without the cringe, yet genuinly passionate about it.
I don't care what people say, edgy can be done right and when it is done right. It's so good
it doesn't wink or nudge at how batshit insane and over the top edgy it is
it just is that way, and it _revels_ in being that way, and it loops back around to being cool as hell
doing this sort of edgy right is just that, imo, you just gotta commit to the bit without any strings attached until everyone is just as convinced as the story itself that what they're seeing is the sickest shit ever made
"Taking yourself too seriously" is a myth, just go all out lmao
it has a LITTLE cringe. But it's great
It's still cringe, but it is free
Seriously tho, the edge actually works somehow lol
"Who are we?"
"The necessary evil!"
"And why are we necessary?"
"To purge the world of evil worse than man!"
"And why are we gods chosen few, ordained to take up this unholy task?"
"Because no one else will!"
"And also because it's fuckin fun! Hahahahahah AAAAAAAMEN!"
“NOW I SEE WANTS TO PLOP THAT VIRGAN SOIL IM THINKING OF PLANTING A FEW FLOWERS MYSELF “
"Iscariot? We're not scared of you, you don't even know how to use a bayonet, it goes on ze gun idiot!"
"The return of the why boner.With a Vengeance."
"i leave for a day and suddenly the catholics are crusading, while the nazis are invading... Anderson, it's been three days but it feels like years."
The judas priest
Wait like zi band
I honestly love how hirano is unapologetically honest with the fact hes lazy, having so many mangaka bust their ass and nearly die or physically ruin their body because the fame they get makes them not want to seem "lazy" for taking a break... Having a guy fuck around, referencing shit, taking his time to write and draw and saying the truth that hes just some nerd who draws what he likes... Is, good in a way i just cant describe
Hirano is exactly the type of content creator I aspire to be.
Its not the fame? It takes forever to make a manga page, even longer to make a chapter. These people arent chasing fame its just a really time consuming job that doesnt promote lazyness
@JC-ol5dj Ehhh it's a bit of both imo
Remember in Japan, being an extremely hard worker is what they see as the standard. They'd rather die working then take a sick day so when you're a successful mangaka, you're seen as a role model so I think the fame does play a huge part of how much suffering they do to get they monthly, God forbid WEEKLY manga out.
Something I really love about hellsing is how all the characters have such a unique and strong impression. Integra has such a commanding and dominating aura that you can feel every time she is on screen, how Walter has such a refined and distinguished vibe but you can just tell he's ready to kick shit it at any point, and Alucard who feels like just a pure force of nature. They all have such distinct and powerful impressions in every single frame and I really love it
Hell yeah giving Hirano sensei some respect I watched every episode of Ultimate a while back and I have to say it was awesome creepy and fun. Also factoid the Hoods the Catholic soldiers wear are worn By Catholic penitents in Spain so Hirano really did some research on the church with this story
Ironically in Spain on many of their Catholic holiday and mass many will wear the hoods as part of tradition ceremony. Spain is really weird went it come to religion stuffs.
We wear those in latinamerica too
I'm a firearms guy. His automatic 1911 Long Slide handcannon chambered in .454 Casull is amazing. Unless you made it in a Desert Eagle, no way it would work in reality, a .454 Casull has wayyyy too much pressure, it'd blow the Slide of backwards if it was a 1911. However, since Hellsing isn't bound to reality, I'll say his 1911 .454 Casull Long Slide is beyond amazing and awesome.
Well keep in mind it isn't .454 Casull, its .454 Casull Auto. Which is a fictional cartridge. So the chamber pressure may be different. There's also that absurdly long slide, which would certainly help with the lock up. If the gun has a thicker frame than a standard 1911 then its perfectly plausible.
And let's not even get started on the Jackal. That thing is a monster. Fitting then, that its owner was a monster beyond compare.
@@uppishcub1617 It would be an insane design challenge though trying to get the 1911 design to work with .454 Casull (auto) even if you just scale it up. A similar example would be Brandon Herrera's Ak-50 project where he makes a 100% legit .50BMG based on the AK design. The amount of work he had to put in just to make it cycle is insane. Technically possible but damn there better be some magic in universe to design that shit
@@douglassmalls6934 Brandon's kind of a midwit gunsmith plus for most of the project he was hung up on having as much parts interchangeability with the ak-47 as possible. I'm sure whatever million dollar expert gunsmiths the Hellsing Organization has on payroll would have a much easier time.

As a Catholic ive always loved Andersen's portrayal, like in media we're often portrayed as either cardboard boring or the absolute incarnation of evil, so having a character like him that's just an utter badass is so cool to see.
All the characters in Hellsing are *surprisingly* well written. You'd think Anderson was just some extremist xenophobic monster hunter that loves a good fight but he's actually a man that sincerely believes in his faith and wants to protect those weaker than him (as long as they don't pick a fight like idiots). He even helps Integra, a woman he called a Protestant whore, over following the orders of his own church just because he saw the corruption and respected Integra as a worthy adversary. His relationship with Alucard is, well. That. And his monologue before he stabs himself with the Nail really gives you an insight into his psyche. Overall 10/10 love that dilf
Hellsing has a bunch of stuff in it that I normally might not gravitate towards, but because it has such strong "hell yeah the creator was having a good time" vibes that it transcends my usual preferences and is easily one of my all time favorites! I can definitely understand creating stuff for a broad demographic, but we also need creators like Hirano who make stuff first and foremost for themselves. That kind of passion will always find its audience :)
Bro…THE GONZO SOUNDTRACK BRO. It can’t be beat. It’s Iconic.
I always think of Hellsing as the best 90s comic ever made. It reminds me so much of Spawn. With better art. And Spawn has great art.
I also think it’s funny that people compare Alucard to Vash. Because other than glasses and a color scheme they couldn’t be more opposite characters.
This legit made me relive my first experience with Hellsing. Watching a marathon of it til sunrise on some random ass anime channel when I was sick. I was like 12 or 13 years old and it was the most RAW shit I'd ever seen lmao.
Your series retrospectives are genuine passion projects and it's endearing to see well thought out and content with actual effort put into it that just oozes love for some dope shit rather than the usual generic animanga content.
On God! The original Hellsing TV show was my intro into anime at the ripe age of 11. My young pubescent brain was glued to the tv during the Alucard vs Incognito battle and I absolutely loved it.😅 Then when Ultimate finally came out, my expectations were blown up, shot and impaled. 😁
I always love when people discover this series. It's a ride for sure, though it always seems like people don't understand how unkillable Alucard is by the end lol.
There's also a lot to say about some of the lore thrown in near the end. That blood given willingly imparts a larger piece of ones self to the vampire. Seras gains her familiar, Pip- all of his love, support, knowledgem and ruthlessness are not only a part of her forever now, but it gives her a feeling of never being alone. Alucard's was the Hound of Baskerville, a shout-out to Sherlock Holmes. Later, after the Hound is "killed", I assume it's shifted to Schrödinger, since at the end he is now everyvhere unt novere.
While the prequel could have shed some light, you are right- the original story gives us enough hints to basically piece together the gist of what happened in the past. Walter, as an under 18 year old has an existential crisis when he realizes how powerful Alucard is while just fucking around, and how he's basically immortal. It's likely implied that he was eventually forced to use level 0, which is why the Major and Walter know about it. I doubt Arthur would have told is vampire hunting butler how to kill Alucard. From there, Walter makes a deal with Doc, as it's implied at the Major is killed before the Party gives up. In the future, after I've reawakened Alucard, turn me into a vampire so I can kill him.
I must admit that I do not enjoy the 2001 anime. It was okay, it was different, but it wasn't really what I liked about Hellsing. It was fine for what it was, and gave more development to Seras as a person, but outside of that, the music is really the only part I liked.
I'll give you a fun detail, in that my local library as a high schooler had the first 7 or 8 volumes. That's how I found the manga lol. I own 9 and 10, since they never seemed to get them. I enjoyed Hirano's change from that wirey hair on Alucard to the smoother style, it was almost like he slicked back his hair in V3 and was like "I like this, I'll keep it for a minute".
Manga at school!? Dude, I'm envious!
You know what? When I become a dad, I'll introduce my kids to anime, manga, music, video games, and other forms of Japanese entertainment besides the typical western stuff. I want them to try them out so they can experience the things I loved since my youth and I can happily give their suggestions a fair chance on similar matters.
Hearing someone just go OFF about how good Hellsing is warms my damn heart. Hirano was so unapologetically FEELING himself with that story, and to hear someone just as unapologetically praise it feels so good and true to the series. ❤
After hearing it was gonna be a spooky episode, I was hoping it was gonna be Hellsing!
Just finished watching, Damn I love your work. I'm excited for whatever you've got coming down that pipeline!
And my condolonences on your loss. Hope you're doing okay
40:12 Fun fact: The voice director for Hellsing Ultimate was TALIESIN JAFFE-like Percy de Rolo himself saw this and said, “Yes, I want these accents to be OUTRAGEOUS”❤❤❤
The "Boodoo People Murder People" writing on the Shields of the Ghouls at around 26:25 could be a Hommage to the Song Voodoo People from The Prodigy. The chorus of the Song sounds similar to what is writtenon the Shields.... So it could be a possibillity.
"Anyone can be a bad bitch if he decides it" is the perfect way to describe Kouta Hirano's artstyle
I always thought that the "Boo Doo People Murder People" was some obscure reference to to Prodigy's song Voodoo People, as Jan Valentine looked like hardcore clubber in the 90's england.
Btw, have you read the Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita manga? I imagine that you would like it as it has in my opinion very cool style to it. Yukito Kishiros style of drawing futuristic vehicles, prosthetics and other futuristic stufff really amazes me personally.
If Hirano references Prodigy he just gets cooler imo lmao
And I absolutely love Alita good call lol!
The entirety of Hellsing can be described by:
Wouldnt it be cool if [insert over the top concept]?
And then it was!
The original hellsing anime
Was the best anime ever made
Especially the soundtracks
Like holy shit
I swear to god it's fucking INSANITY
I love it when Alucard goes on walks, very enthusiastic walks
honestly hellsing is one of the only titles that i never get tired of
re watching or re reading it is always as exciting as the first time
Same!
It’s such a tightly written series.
Hirano defining himself as a chuuni making manga for other chuunis explains perfectly how Hellsing manages to walk the fine line of being edgy without being gross or faking it.
this video was the final push that convinced me to buy this series
Love to see it
You'll love it! 👍
Man, Hellsing was the shit in my teenage years. This was the series that personally restored the terrifyingly awesome vision of vampires during the Twilight craze. This is probably where my fascination for long-coats began, to be honest.
Kota Hirano really is an artist that, despite being capable of encapsulating both style and substance, will prioritize style with substance being more of a add-on.
“tumbleweed ass dude” lmao
God damn, I absolutely love your energy and commentary man. I'm not a big anime fan at all, just a goth obsessed with vampires who stumbled upon your channel, but I really hope you keep making your videos. I'd watch em just for the interesting and energetic vibes you bring into what you make
Thank you for making this retrospective.
10 years ago. I an 11 year ago was listening to a shrillex amv featuring Hellsing.
Immediately the badass imagery drew me in and in the comments I found out it was called Hellsing.
From that point onward I watched the whole series up at night.
Got into anime, got interested into edgey characters, grew interested into Japanese media as a whole and grew into grim videogames.
Years later as someone who's only ever seen ultimate, my first anime every that made me into the fan of seinen anime and got me into death note early in life.
I'm glad this video exists to shed more light into a man who I never considered learning about.
His work has changed my life, I agree, style is a way of life. Devil May Cry is a reflection of that.
I found this video while searching for the manga online as I grew interested in the manga and I'm very glad with how the video game out and now I'm interested into his other works.
Thanks for being awesome mate
To add to the insanity of all the references and fine detail: in one panel, one of his gloves has the word 'trigun' hidden in the scrawled text around the main design. I wonder how many other little Easter eggs he hid throughout the series 🤯
Thank you so much for giving this manga the recognition it deserves. This and media like this shaped my tastes today
His style is basically just the rule of cool, and you know what? I respect that a lot.
My entry into hellsing was the 2001 adaptation and man am I glad it was! Still holds a very special spot in my heart and soon going to pick up the deluxe editions because I just need them.
It's not that Alucard is unstoppable or unkillable. It would just take *way* too much power to do so. Because whatever fought him would have to be able to attrition out all the souls he has under his command *without* adding new ones to his domain.
He cant absorb souls anymore because of the Schrodinger cat kid. Although the extent of his power now is unknown.
This was so cool. As a long-time lover of all media containing vampires, the first Hellsing anime hit me in my late teens when Blade and the like were on the rise. The unapologetic violence of it all, while still having compelling and interesting characters, is what really sucked me in. Ultimate was an amazing upgrade, and now I think I'll have to get my hands on the manga.
But honestly, your totally hyped-fanboy excitement about this had me drawn in for the whole video. Keep doing awesome things, man.
Anytime someone asked me what my favorite anime is its always hellsing
That would be Ghost in the Shell for me but Hellsing Ultimate (including New Dawn) would be yipping at its heels... the only reason Ghost in the Shell wins is that I relate to it more on a personal level....
One of my favorite things about the Abridged series was how often it used music from the 2001 anime.
As a Hellsing enjoyer I love the manga, Ultimate and TFS Abridged series to pieces, all for different reasons. I watched the 2001 anime years ago and never really enjoyed it beyond loving the voice acting and animation style.
hellsing rules for sure one of my favorites I wish they would publisher the Dawn in english
you can find some chapters of the dawn in english online, but theyre mostly on crappy websites
"RUclips doesn't like the violence"
Meanwhile, Team Four Star: Alucard, go for a walk.
Man, stumbled upon you through your Trigun retrospective, which I found today while looking for a decent video explaining how it ticks. Now, thanks to this video, I'm excited to see more. You're really good at making your retrospectives just _feel_ good to watch
Yooo thank you!!
i absolutely adore hellsing and drifters. first saw the OG hellsing, fell in love with it. then found ultimate, fell in love even harder. then stumbled across Drifters many years later.... then fell in love all over again. legit my fave art style, always solid casting, and some bomb ass music. if only drifters capitalized on their "see you in season 2" cliff hanger.
Hirano just takes his sweet time to write, there is like legit still not enough content in the Drifters manga to make a season 2
Hellsing is a wonderfully made example of trusting in the rule of cool. I don’t need it to be spelled out for me, I need it to just be cool and fun as hell.
I'm on a Hellsing marathon atm. Alucard, top notch one the coolest character ever
Imagin reading doujins for actual research. Youre the man💀
honestly the more i watched this video the more I understood why I loved hellsing my self... even tho I obsevily watched and read everything multiple times ( for me its every Christmas time). I never really sat there to think about the "why". Yet you nail the "why"; its cool I like it and I'm proud of it. Hellsing being just Hellsing yet being so good in doing that. Every time I introduce a friend to hellsing they first arent interested at all, yet if they start I always see the same results. A new person that is totally obsessed with it.
I’v been living for 24 year Hellsing series still the most enjoyable thing i’v ever watch
Damn, it must take a lot to make these hour long videos
my only regret? not being born sooner to witness hellsing at its peak and all its glory. to miss out on cons and exclusive events/items... it hurts me deeply!!
Great video, one of the best I've seen in a long while. Gotta love it when the vampire the masquerade bloodlines music kicks in.
Love the bloodlines music
I was introduced to the series by a friend. At first I had no high hopes but the OVA left me wanting more. Cool video! 👍
Absolutely great video. Hellsing is really unique with its artwork.
The editing and footage used in this video is really good. The sound is also on point, great work
This was an awesome episode man. I love hellsing and love hearing your views on it. Love hearing about Hiranos story too
That outro got me, rip to pops man, great video, imma revisit Hellsing. Watch OVA whilst at uni and Andersons entrance still gives me chills
Broooo I’m absolutely loving your channel and I would’ve said this about 5 videos ago but I wanted to save Hellsing for later, you’re one of my new favorite channels and you bring back so much nostalgia for me AMEN BROTHER
so glad to see a recent hellsing video in my recommended omg. this video is excellent
Hellsing ultimate has become my favorite anime in the history of animes ever and has permanently affected my sense of style and what I love in a fictional series, barring not even just anime. I legit rewatch it monthly it's so good and recommend it to everything and everyone.
Amazing retrospective all around I have to say, and gave me a lot of insights I didn't know into Hellsings origins!
Great point about Ultimate's great use of CGI. We are so lucky this OVA series actually reached its conclusion.
Great video! ALOT of great info. Very fair. I'm glad you made this.
Dude.... I'm LOVING that Golden Eye theme in the background!!!!!! That's my all-time favorite video game. 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
man, I love Hellsing. Also great video :) hope to see more like this in the future
Yeah, Hirano is a big shot in my eyes! I can’t wait for this man to release more chapters for the Drifters vs the enemy team is crazy!
You are underrated Man, great content
Thanks for this great video. Ultimate is one of my all time favorite animes that I just love to rewatch.
“And police that one time in Brazil.” Ah yeah we’ve all been there
love how this popped up on my feed lol, perfect timing for halloween szn + i love hellsing ultimate!
An apt choice of music to dress your video. Well done sir
Great video bro. I am currently on 6th rewatch of the series
Criminally underrated channel! Keep it up man, great content
Would REALLY love to see your perspective on Nihei-san's Blame! though..
What a fucking Video essay this is a masterpiece with more background work than my master thesis and i was glued to my screen for all of it
Great Video !!
Great ,high-quality videos dude .
Hellsing has a special place in my heart. The TV series was the first anime I have ever watched (OVA was long from being finished back then) and the Hellsing manga was the first manga I ever read from start to finish. It was also the reason why I went down the slippery slope of internet culture, because Hellsing was (and still kind of is) largely unknown in Russia and I had zero people who I could talk about it in real life (even among those who had a passing interest in anime). In a weird way, it actually changed my life and warped me into a guy who is deep in the internet culture, computers, gothic aesthetics, VtM and so on. Heck, maybe I wouldn't even be a software engineer today if I didn't stumble onto Hellsing in my early teens!
Crazy how that works.
Hell yeah great video as usual! I love that you put the names of the songs in your video
Yooo thank you glad people like that it takes forever to make those lol
Man I love YOU !!!
Great Video! Binging on Hellsing & Alucard videos all month long.
Love Mike from RLM showing up in the beginning!
Great video!!! I love the OST of the original anime, I always tried to make sense of the opening lyrics, but I couldn't lol. I had a couple of the original Dark Horse volumes, but it may be I've gifted them away... I never expected old manga volumes to go up in value! I'll check out the new special edition, I'd love to revisit the series. Thank you again!
Love your videos! This was an awesome retrospective
Ayeeee thank you!!
Guns and soundtrack are the things that brought me to Hellsing.
I have just discovered your videos and I am in love! Extremely well done man! Would love to see you cover Dorohedoro
Hellsing was what brought me back into anime when I was in college (after pokemon and sailor moon seemed "too childish" for my teenage sensibilities and I lost interest in the medium, Hellsing was the perfect edgy reintroduction for me) and it's still one of my favorite examples in the vampire subgenre, because I think it was the first time I saw vampires depicted as this force-of-nature, y'know, the scene with Alucard against Luke, who even as a vampire can't hold a candle to _the_ vampire, or that goddamn iconic "Guess what I just caught? I caught you. Rip. Van. Winkle."
I love that they made the Vampires just straight-up _monsters._ And I think a big part of that is the teeth, Jesus the fucken _teeth,_ it's like they took the teeth out of a bull shark and copy-pasted them onto humans. I love it.
Phenomenal video, I’d love a google doc with all the sources of all the info you got like links to all of the oneshots and interviews and literally everything here in fact I fucking LOVE Hellsing and I need it
Peep the tumblr I just added to the references in the description I got a lot of info there!!
I find it halarious RUclips suggested this to me 8 months afterwords lol.
Amazing vid, imma look at more of you channel, LOVE ypur vibe! Here's a sub ❤
The only video I've seen where someone talks about my favourite anime 🥲
Just finished reading all 3 deluxe edition Hellsing books and it was pretty dope! The story is interesting, not the best but not terrible at all, but ohhhhhh my god the artwork is truly some of the best I’ve everrrrrrr seen!!! Can’t wait to watch the anime now!
this video is fire
hellsing is just pure indulgence and i LOVE it. just enough angst and philosophy to not make it a mindless gore rush while also not making it boring, making all the characters so fucking cool they all their own tumblr appreciation blog, and so so so many guns.
this is the shit i watch when i get a 3am adrenaline high.
One of the first anime I watches. Still one of the best things Ive seen.
this is the 3rd time ive watched this video this one is really good
What I appreciate most about Hellsing is its love for its source material. Integra, Seras and Anderson are characters that would fit right in with Dracula, just cranked to 11 when the shooting starts. And while it is an action series focused on cool, there are some genuinely wrenching moments that the art and the voice acting in the OVAs really bring home.
This video was done so well and had a lot of passion and great editing involved in it, how does it only have just under 500 likes and 5k views?
It’s all about getting lucky on here even with tons of hard work, so just grinding and hoping one day that luck hits me lol!
@@SlimeFancypants All the luck to you bro, definitely got a new subscriber in me.
10/10 for Blood, violent and Sexy madness.
Great video! Funny enough I just got around to watching the 2001 anime myself this Halloween
Not violence no....utter carnage is a better word.... especially after Alucard walks in and out
Keep up the good work.
The Nazis and Catholics coming together with those hoods on is definitely not symbolic 😭😭😭
He was being straight up 💀💀
Obligatory engagement stoke that algorithm. Love the format. Great work
Always appreciated 🫡
You got my sub
