A darkly gothic anime series of Thirteen episodes. The main character is actually not Alucard, but Seras Victoria, who becomes a vampire in the first episode. Her attempts to retain her humanity are set against the backdrop of a full-scale secret war betweeen the Hellsing organisation and mysterious forces who are creating artificial vampires. Chuck in a few mad priests, vampire gangsters and a several very cool fights, and you have a surprisingly excellent anime series.
Thoroughly recommended, especially for fans of vampires or action anime. Not for younger viewers.

Get the HellSing mug.Hellsing is a Japanise manga, that was later animated into the Hellsing TV series which are more popular. The action happens is in modern England and it is about the Hellsing organisation dedicated to the extermination of vampires and the protection of Great Britain.
The manga and the anime are different story-wise and character-wise. For example the main characters in the manga are Integral Hellsing and Alucard, leaving Seras Victoria in the background, while the anime revolvs around Seras Victoria and her point of view about vampirism. Also Father Alexander Anderson has deeper personality in the manga than just a mindless killer as depicted in the anime.
Story-wise episodes 1, 2, 3 (the meeting with Father Anderson), 5&6 (the attack of the Hellsing HQ), and 10 (the flashback of how Alucard and Integral met) are close to the manga and the rest of the plot in the anime is totaly different.

Both the manga and the anime Hellsing are good. Buy either one of them (or both) and enter an amazing fantasy world!

Get the Hellsing mug.A very awesome manga/anime. The Manga Totally Pwns the Anime's ass, having a much more in-depth plot, more characters, more blood, more of the original story (Church Vs. Nazis), more everything than the anime could ever hold. In short, read the manga, don't watch the anime.
Example 1:
Guy 1- Dude, have you watched Hellsing?!
Guy 2- No, I've read the manga. Isn't the whole Nazi thing cool?
Guy 1- What nazi thing?
Example 2:
Hellsing, Katie.

Get the Hellsing mug.A force to be dealt with, especially if you go to TTHS. Basically, any security guard at that particular high school. They are prone to attack people for these reasons:
1. The sky is blue
2. They're not high anymore
3. That person exists
4. They're stupid
5. Their anus hurts
6. They were on Ye Grand Hunt For Ye Olde Reefer and you just happened to be standing there
7. They feel like s**t, so they want to make you feel like s**t, too
8. Any reason you can think of.

Get the Krackhead Security Guard From the Seventh Ring of Hell mug.Hellsing: A Japanese anime series (13 episodes) about a Brisish organization created to destroy the undead. The main character appears to be a incarnet of Dracula bonded to the head of an organization sworn to kill vampires. Alucard (Dracula reincarnet) is only allowed to use a limited amount of his power (due to his bondage/imprisonment) in his battles unless authorized. This is a graphic but entertaining story. Ive only watched it in Japanese, I hope it is not butchered in English.
I wish they would make a movie of Hellsing
