Hellsing (2001–2002)
8/10
An anime treatment on the Hellsing universe.
20 May 2008
Takes place in modern day England, where Hellsing's heir is a woman named Intrega Wingates Hellsing. Head of her family's foundation and private military force with it's motto in eliminating vampires that commit crimes in England. Their most lethal weapon is none other than Alucard a smooth Vampire with a gun. He follows orders from Hellsing and admires killing off low class vampires that are scum to him.

One night, a whole military team was attacked by a vampire. The only survivor was Seras Victoria, an ordinary military girl who's life will be given a second chance when being rescued by Alucard.

For a 13 episode series, Hellsing is an example of what a vampire anime is like with the borrowing of the name Hellsing. It's interesting, appealing, and has a vast richness in Gothic like theme. At first I flinch from the wide usage of gore. But it's no issue after seeing the whole thing.

One would expect there to be more of this series as it leaves itself open for more episodes. But there is another Hellsing series that's said to be more truer to the Manga than this one.
