Movie Reviews of Hellsing: Complete Box Set
Movie Review: Watch Your Necks, Vampires Ahead...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great show, lots of fight, tons of blood, and even a little bit of gore thrown in makes this one awesome anime. I love vampires, I love anime, and I love this vampire anime. About the show: The Hellsing Organization travels throughout England fighting and killing vampires and the Ghouls that the create in order to make the world safer for all. Below is a quick summary of each of the shows:
Disc 1:
Order 01: The Undead - Reports of missing people have flooded the small town of Cheddar. With local police knowing the problem in the town, they have ignored all of the warnings set down by the Hellsing Organization; the police that they have sent are all dead. Now Alucard has to go in and clean up the mess, soon the fate of one very alive police woman now resides in the hands of Alucard.
Order 02: Club M - Seras Victoria is still undergoing her training, not only as a rookie-cop, but also a rookie-vampire. However, she has to learn fast as the organization is faced with a new problem. Two psychotic vampires are wreaking havoc on the country, going from house to house, murdering entire families, drinking their blood, and mutilating the remains.
Order 03: Sword Dancer - With reports of the creation of a new artificial vampire, the report is confirmed when one college student ends up becoming a vampire. After an autopsy, it is discovered that he has a chip implanted in him to turn him into a vampire, but even after the chip is removed, he still searches for his lost love. However, it appears that the Vatican has sent their own agent to dispatch the vampire.
Disc 2:
Order 04: Innocent as a Human - After a series of vampire-related snuff films are released on the internet; the organization becomes interested when one of the videos shows one of their own members being killed. Victoria is dispatched to investigate the culprits behind the video after suspecting one of their own.
Order 05: Brotherhood - Following the murder of a government agent by two vampire brothers the Hellsing Organization begins to investigate the scene. However, the two strike first and attack the headquarters of the organization. With their own army, things begin to look pretty grim for the organization.
Order 06: Dead Zone - The Valentine brothers continue their relentless assault on the Hellsing Organization: Walter, Seras, and Alucard appear to be the only ones who can drive them off. Walter and Seras charge off to fight Jan and his army of ghouls while Alucard hangs back and waits for his brother Luke.
Disc 3
Order 07: Duel - Reeling from the massive losses suffered from the Valetine brothers' attack, Integra seeks out vengeance for the fallen members of her organization. After sending out Seras with a team to track down those who are responsible, Integra gets an unwelcome visitor from the Vatican. Following the heated meeting of the two organization, Alucard heads out to seek a fight with Paladin Alexander Anderson.
Order 08: Kill House - Following a raid in China that resulted in the destruction of vital evidence to the origin of the "Freak Chips", Integra steps up the search for the people responsible. Seras teams up with an MI-5 agent to gather information.
Order 09: Red Rose Vertigo - During a raid on an old castle, the Hellsing Organization is turned away by the S.A.S.. After the team evacuates the castle, Seras senses something strange in the castle. Integra gets an unexpected visit from her sister Laura, but upon her arrival strange things begin to happen and Seras suspects that something is up.
Disc 4:
Order 10: Master of Monster - In order to prevent the change to ghoul, Integra slits her own throat and as her surgeons try to save her, she begins to dream of how she met Alucard and became the leader of the Hellsing Organization
Order 11: Transcend Force - Integra is still healing from surgery but things turn worse as there have been several attempts on the queen's life in recent days. Upon receving word that the queen is coming to the Hellsing Castle, Integra begins to make preparations as she sends troops to the Tower of London to set a trap, but who's really setting the trap?
Order 12: Total Destruction - Things at the Tower of London has again turned grim for the organization as the troops are easily being wiped out, worse is that the organization itself has been labeled as a terrorist organization. As the British military tries to stop the Hellsing soldiers, Alucard goes to the Tower in hopes of fighting Incognito.
Order 13: Hellfire - The battle between Incognito and Alucard rages on as Walter and Integra head to the Tower. But as things begin to get worse and worse, Integra realizes that possibly the fate of the entire world rests in Alucard's hands.
Overall, this is a great show, the bad thing is that with only 13 episodes, they never really get to the creator of the "Freak Chips" and the ending is actually kind of open. The good news is that there is a new OVA slowly being released on DVD that'll hopefully continue the storyline more. The music in this show is awesome in my opinion, the show is pretty cool, some weird animation here and there, and lots of blood. However, there is quite a bit of profanity in this show and there is even some sexual situations so it is definitely not for children.
Summary of Hellsing: Complete Box Set
The vampire-turned-hunter saga Hellsing owes a lot to both the original and remake of Vampire Hunter D. In Britain, vampires that were artificially created by implanting chips in their necks are attacking people. Dispatching them is the job of the Royal Order of Religious Knights, headed by the icy (and apparently female) Sir Integra Hellsinger. Her chief agent, the red-clad Arucard, destroys one vampire, then turns police woman Victoria into a servant-vampire, bound to him. The outré story violates the rules of the traditional legends: vampires wear crosses, enter churches, and pose as priests; Hellsinger's mortal enemy is the Vatican's Iscariot Organization. The animation is very static, and the design style changes from character to character. Despite grotesque imagery borrowed from Night of the Living Dead, the result is more silly than scary, and the series suffers from underdeveloped characters, a plot that is sketchy at best, a surfeit of pointless violence, and inadvertently hilarious dialogue.In subsequent episodes, Luke and Jan, the Valentine Brothers, lay siege to the headquarters of the Hellsing organization, the Royal Order of Religious Knights. After numerous humans have been killed and eaten by an army of ghouls, Sir Integra Hellsinger, Arucard, and Seras must hunt down the perpetrators. Not surprisingly, the finale is elaborate, violent, and inconclusive. The closing titles announce that the search for the creators of the artificial vampires continues, so a sequel may be in the works. (Rated 16 and older, but unsuitable for viewers younger than 18: graphic violence, profanity, gore, violence against women) --Charles Solomon
