Hellsing Ultimate
What's the Story?
HELLSING ULTIMATE follows Sir Integra Hellsing (voiced in English by Victoria Harwood) and her Hellsing Organization's continuous battle against dark and evil supernatural threats. Their powerful weapon, Alucard (Crispin Freeman), is a vampire bound by oath to Integra. Alucard hunts other monsters to serve his oath and satisfy his own desires to find a worthy opponent. Together they work to fulfill the Hellsing Organization's mission to defend humanity from monsters.
Is It Any Good?
This extremely graphic and disturbing anime still manages to captivate with its uniquely sinister and intense atmosphere. Hellsing Ultimate is made for fans of dark fantasy and intense action. The series presents a brutally dark and violent narrative filled with well-developed characters. If you can stomach the unsettling and disturbing content, you will be treated to an engaging story complemented by uniquely stylized art style and animation. Hellsing Ultimate's gothic and supernatural elements also create a distinct and sinister atmosphere that can rarely be found elsewhere. While it may be a worthwhile experience for some, viewer discretion is seriously advised.
