@Dagupan Ghyle But exaggeration from the mouth of a man-made vampire that lacked true understanding of real vampires. Once he saw Alucard's level 1, he freaked out in terror...
Damn, I forgot how much agency they actually gave Seras. Alucard doesn't just creepily ask if she's a virgin like she has any idea what the hell that has to do with anything. He just asks, "I can take the shot and kill this bastard, but if you want to get out of that, I'm turning you into a vampire." And she with full understanding of what she's doing says yes. She does more in this version overall, she only starts acting vaguely of her own will after eating Pip in Ultimate. We don't need a third adaptation or anything, but something with the best aspects of both shows would have been great. Less, weird JPop in the London scene and more kickass jazz and Seras actually doing her own thing.
I hate speculating about "what could have been" when it comes to this show, because it always leaves me with an unshakeable tinge of sadness. I would have seriously loved to see more of Seras just on her own, perhaps running errands or doing more to uncover the original plotline regarding the artificial vampires. I know that the intention was for Millenium to have created this technology, since that's how it is in the Manga, but if you had her investigating, blending in, meeting other people, and eventually uncovering some darker reveal, while Alucard occasionally shows up to clean up or act as Integra's pointed gun when a powerful enemy arises, it would have been really fun to watch.
The dynamic between Alucard and Integra is so interesting. I wish there were an episode just on them and their past together. Regardless, Alucard is a badass and the only true vampire.
You left out the scene where Alucard massacred an entire hallway of SAS soldiers turned Vampire/Werewolf and killed every last one of them practically by himself.
@@donaldtusk2678 Ther scene in Ultimate he killed an entire hallway of Police/SWAT. But in this version of Hellsing, Alucard shot and killed an entire hallway of SAS Soldiers that got turned into like Vampire/Werewolf hybrids (I guess?) by Incognito. He just strolled down the hallway killing them with his handguns by himself. He even shot one through a pillar, down the hall with his back turned looking the other way. Alucard even fought alongside Hellsing soldiers a little bit after that.
@@darkmathsamport3694 first of all it was Brazil and 2nd of all why would the S.A.S be responding to a terroist attack in Brazil. I believe it was the B.O.P.E that he slaughtered
Crispin Freeman is a bad ass actor in't he? I'm usually very good at placing voices. But I didn't realize he was the same guy who voiced another character in one of my favorite anime(s?) before someone told me.
This is probably my favorite anime, Hellsing, Hellsing ultimate and of coarse, Hellsing ultimate abridged, but the original Hellsing is so smooth, dark, grim, classy and reminds me of the 90s styled anime. (( I believe this came out in 2001 sorry if I'm wrong)) but dayum alucard is a total badass and funny at times hands down
Thanks Jade for making a video of my favorite and beloved Vampire ever Alucard, he means a lot to me I love him soo very much finding him sexy and beautiful... He has a hot voice
I couldn't agree more! I love Alucard too he is my favorite character in Hellsing and Crispin Freedman plays him I met him twice I wish he was my boyfriend! I would date Alucard in a second!
Yep. And now I want the crossover. Where alucard respects vash and is also confused by him.... While vash disagrees with alucard killing, and attempts to prevent him from doing just that. Although we have to keep vash away from seras
29:02. Just that one moment you see incognito impaled, you watch in awe at the sight with the metal stake used. He then asks who Alucard is and he soon reveals who he truly is. Vlad Tempes of Wallachia, son of the dragon, the impaler.
Hellsing 2001 in my opinion has the better art style, the trailer, episode 1 and the promo art are great examples, but sadly, due to the small budget they had, the art style wasn't able to shine
Part of it might be the animation studio's infamous tendency to go off-model, but I really do sincerely like how this leaned heavily into making alucard look so grotesquely handsome when he's doing faces like at 1:49
Hellsing ultimate is incredible, but I really like this style of animation, it feels more disturbing than ultimate’s style because your brain has to fill in the stuff this style doesn’t show you and the brain can be a lot scarier than the screen
What I find interesting is that Alucard (when he was Vlad the Impaler) was paler in his human form than he is as a vampire. You would think it would be the other way around since vampires are supposed to be extremely pale like corpses.
The difference between the Alucard in the Original and in Ultimate is hard to put into words. What comes close, I think, is that the insanity from the one in Ultimate comes from the trauma of the horrific moments he lived through, but in the Original, Alucard just lived that long he became obsessed to see something new or entertaining
Although Ultimate is hands down the superior series, there’s something about the animation and use of dramatic timing and music in the original series that’s just a little more satisfying at times. A perfect example being at 14:00. When Anderson throws his bayonet at Seras, all goes quite. Then, the silence is broken by the thunderous howl of the Jackal as the blade is blown apart. Then, the music kicks in as it reveals the Jackal in the hands of Alucard was the saving grace. It just lets you know a good fight is coming and gets the point of his saving action with the Jackal that more epic. It’s little things like this that I wish Ultimate had done a little more of.
There is actually some validation for his belittling of Maxwell and the Catholics. I've read Vlad III Dracula tried to get help from Rome and the Vatican to repel the Ottomans but they came up short. (I've read 20 different historical accounts of Vlad III Dracula and no two are written the same) But in the context of Hellsing Alucard and his soldiers were left to their fate against the Ottomans and the Vatican didn't come to their aid! So in some sense Alucard's down trotting of Maxwell and the Vatican might stem from the Vatican leaving him out to dry all those centuries ago. Adds some weight to scene.
Man it took me back watching this. I'll always prefer this to Hellsing ultimate because of the art & music direction it had. I was happy to see the voice cast for this leave such an impression to be used again in Hellsing Ultimate tho. It saddened me to see Walter be the traitor in the manga after watching this and... well ngl I don't rly like the style of the manga so it was kinda hard to watch it be replicated in the OVA. idk I'm a mess lmao
Same the anime director was able to make a better iteration of the manga no offense but i just dislike kouta hirano writing its okay if you want to get entertained a little but its so forgettable and the plot/characterization is nonexistent this one on the other hand is something I'll always remember dearly.
Alucard protected Interga Hellsing and I wish I had a protector like Alucard there will never be a better vampire than Alucard and I like the Vlad Impaler reference at the end.
Anyone else notice that when Alucard releases his dogs on Valentine the sound effects artists use the T-rex and and Spinosaurus roars from Jurassic Park?
the reveal of Alucard's Vlad Tepes face in episode 13 freaked me out back in 2003. The Shear Malice on that face is the very definition of If looks could kill and the fact the show was left open for second season and ended on such a creepy note, it kinda freaked me out that there was more to tell that we'd never get some more answers (like who sent Incognito, or hired the Valentine Brothers or made the Freak Chips) granted this was before I discovered the manga and how different it was and how it diverted from it after the Valentine Brothers arc. mostly because the Manga hadn't finished
This series is such a vibe. Pity they messed up the storyline and manga canon. Some more blood would have been great too lol. But the style and sheer atmosphere of this one is still better than Hellsing Ultimate.
@@coconuttydragoon3445 well, 3 volumes were out at the time, the trailer proves that, they could've adapted those books then added some filler after the dandy man fight probably another 13 or more episodes to make a proper conclusion unlike the clif hanger ending we ended up getting.
You wanna know something wild? Luke Valentine is actually voiced by Patrick Seitz, who portrayed Dracula in the some Castlevania games. You know, Alucard's daddy in that universe? I believe in fate now.

(I've read 20 different historical accounts of Vlad III Dracula and no two are written the same) But in the context of Hellsing Alucard and his soldiers were left to their fate against the Ottomans and the Vatican didn't come to their aid! So in some sense Alucard's down trotting of Maxwell and the Vatican might stem from the Vatican leaving him out to dry all those centuries ago. Adds some weight to scene.
Alucards gotta be the most badass and funniest and just best vampire
Alucard is a straight smooth criminal my dude
Man it took me back watching this. I'll always prefer this to Hellsing ultimate because of the art & music direction it had. I was happy to see the voice cast for this leave such an impression to be used again in Hellsing Ultimate tho. It saddened me to see Walter be the traitor in the manga after watching this and... well ngl I don't rly like the style of the manga so it was kinda hard to watch it be replicated in the OVA. idk I'm a mess lmao
Same the anime director was able to make a better iteration of the manga no offense but i just dislike kouta hirano writing its okay if you want to get entertained a little but its so forgettable and the plot/characterization is nonexistent this one on the other hand is something I'll always remember dearly.
@@kingpiye7060 that's why you watch Hellsing:Ultimate Abridged
@@vegeta6169 No, that's if you want entertained and memorable. This one has a different flavor, I think this one is O+.
@@BlueNEXUSGaming I was joking. Sorry I should've put tone indicators.
@@vegeta6169 You seem to *B+* that I missed the joke! 😁
I'm going to start watching this again.
I love this anime vampire i'm gonna be him for Halloween this year
Alucard protected Interga Hellsing and I wish I had a protector like Alucard there will never be a better vampire than Alucard and I like the Vlad Impaler reference at the end.
I freaking love him so much hands down one of the best animes
What a perfect night for long walks.
The voice acting here fits nicely considering it's set in the UK❤️
Anyone else notice that when Alucard releases his dogs on Valentine the sound effects artists use the T-rex and and Spinosaurus roars from Jurassic Park?
the reveal of Alucard's Vlad Tepes face in episode 13 freaked me out back in 2003. The Shear Malice on that face is the very definition of If looks could kill
and the fact the show was left open for second season and ended on such a creepy note, it kinda freaked me out that there was more to tell that we'd never get some more answers (like who sent Incognito, or hired the Valentine Brothers or made the Freak Chips)
granted this was before I discovered the manga and how different it was and how it diverted from it after the Valentine Brothers arc. mostly because the Manga hadn't finished
This series is such a vibe.
Pity they messed up the storyline and manga canon. Some more blood would have been great too lol.
But the style and sheer atmosphere of this one is still better than Hellsing Ultimate.
This “mess up” is actually from the fact Hellsing was still being written as the anime aired. So, they had to de alert, but kept a great show.
@@coconuttydragoon3445 well, 3 volumes were out at the time, the trailer proves that, they could've adapted those books then added some filler after the dandy man fight probably another 13 or more episodes to make a proper conclusion unlike the clif hanger ending we ended up getting.
Hellsing was leagues above Hellsing Ultimate imo
@@Animedumptruck In terms of mood, music & atmosphere, definitely.
I love this version of Alucard❤
You wanna know something wild? Luke Valentine is actually voiced by Patrick Seitz, who portrayed Dracula in the some Castlevania games. You know, Alucard's daddy in that universe?
I believe in fate now.
Well him and anime's other iconic vampire DIO
@@anthonyrios2311 actually alucard is dracula
@@mohammadpannahmahar4009Not in Castlevania
God i really wish they kept the music vibe for Ultimate
that 70's style groove was just Way too good
Crispin Freeman folks 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
"You foul monster!"
"I get that a lot. But then, what does that make you?"
/chef's kiss/ How can you not just love him?
1:30
That's the single most genuine line I've ever heard.
Alucard's mouth really be like when he isnt smiling
Total badass ⚰ same goes for Integgra Hellsing.
I like the manga, anime, and OVA remake.
Finally a true Hellsing fan.
1:30 A dark hellish creature of the night calling for God. How ironic.
It's the delivery that does it for me, not a scream but a whimper.
@@corryjamieson3909 yeah, sounds like something that could've been from the abridged series lol.
