What nonsense. Emotions of the level of Indian cinema, anime cliches, the organization "Hellsing" consisting of 99% faceless extras with animation in two frames, five terribly mannered characters from whom you just get tired and whose fate does not care at all.
The Glucose clip, which lasted for 13 episodes, is all that can be said about this misunderstanding of the noughties.
@zenkov: there is only one problem - such things, in which everything is built around the main character-imba, can be counted on one hand, and even fewer of them are those that really interest. That's why Helsing is loved, and Ultimate, and a little flawed of it.
@zenkov: I agree. The expectation was not justified. It seems to me that the estimate is too high. It is clear that hayat Hellsing is an unpopular opinion, because for many it is a childhood cartoon, but I, having not found it at that time, having watched it only now, cannot say well about it. He's too childish and naive.
@zenkov: I completely agree with you, it seems to me that all the works of Koto Hirano are overrated, except for dismemberment and pathos there is nothing to look at.
@baronthealex: yes, that's not the point, the fact is that there are almost no such works in principle. That's why they love Hellsing. And he's really good. It's like Gangsta, Egmungand and the Pirates of the Black Lagoon - they are also highly overrated in themselves, but there is nothing else besides them.
Gorgeous anime!Before watching "Hellsing", the experience in the field of vampire anime consisted only in fanatical adoration of "Vampire Hunter D : Bloodlust" (I adore part 2 many times more than the 1st), because I still consider this anime the best of the best!
This was followed by watching Castlevania, which cannot be considered a full-fledged anime, but rather just an animated series with a very similar style of drawing, like anime...well, here we have a very original version about the vampire chronicles and the adventures of Alucard, whom I have long dreamed of seeing!
Yes, the drawing is old, inherent in all anime of the 90s-00s, it's already a classic...but it didn't get any worse from this anime, I liked the plot 👌🏼Now I would like to watch Hellsing Ultimate and that's it, the picture in my head will be complete and complete 👌🏼
I discovered anime for myself quite recently, it was this animation that a good friend advised, said I would like it... And he was not mistaken! In the opinion of a person who is not spoiled by this kind of art, this work is worthy. Yes, there are a lot of questions and catastrophically few answers, it makes you go to Wikipedia and start reading manga. The hard and sexy image of Alucard attracted me from the first episode and only for his sake I watched all 13 episodes, for his sake I will fuck up the entire Internet in search of a worthy sequel. The only huge disadvantage was that 1-2 minutes of screen time is allocated to him from the entire series, IT's NOT ENOUGH for ME! You're giving me more sexy vampires!
Py.sy. So I did not understand what kind of seal he removes every time. Is this some kind of restriction on its permissive power? Is there anyone here who knows from 2020?😅😅😅
@CatherineCosh: He was sealed by Integra's ancestor (Actually, Hellsing is a free sequel to Stoker's Dracula). That is, the powers are limited by permission from the blood carrier of the Hellsing family.
What an atmospheric piece! This noir style creates such a charm for this anime. And the music is simply beyond praise! One of the best openings in my memory. As for the story itself, it is not complete, of course. This is an open ending that puts an ellipsis. Not everyone likes this, that's why many prefer a newer version (I think it's impossible not to say about it), because the plot is complete there (do not forget that at the time of the release of VSN, the manga was not finished yet), and the drawing is excellent. However, of the two versions, I still prefer the 1st one. Yes, maybe they didn't reveal many important points to us (by the way, like the Ultimate), but you feel this story, it makes you think, you empathize with the characters. Speaking of the latter, yes, they are more restrained here, which, in fact, appeals to me more. The characters, like the story itself, are more mature, or something. Looking at the local Alucard, you see a charismatic, self-confident, all-powerful vampire with his own morality, who, no matter how ironic it may sound, is dying of boredom from such a long life, because nothing pleases him anymore, except battles in which he hopes to meet with a worthy opponent, which will brighten up at least for a while his vampire depressing "non-life". He is not a madman like Alucard from Ultimate, he is an ancient being who has lived too long and is tired of it, and God, how I like his phrases from the series: "You dressed like a priest, even though you don't even know what shame is." Still, this was not enough in the Ultimate, which is a pity, because it is precisely such scenes that make the story complete. Yes, he revels in killing, but only if they are immoral creatures. In short, I can talk for a long time about Alucard (my favorite guy from the anime, after all), but it is also important to say about Integra and Victoria. Integra in this version is an incredibly strong personality for me, who constantly has to prove that she is a worthy head of the Hellsing family: to the members of the Order, to Alucard, to herself.
@Wolfira: You look at her and realize what a heavy load is on her shoulders and you get into this English lady-sir, and all this is due to the correct presentation (sorry, but the Integra from Ultimate is also cool, but the Integra from VSN is clearly stronger as a character). Victoria is also an interesting girl for me. For me, as a character, she grew with each episode (exactly as a character, not a killing machine). I like that even after becoming a vampire, she found the strength to accept the monster inside her, while still keeping the person inside. The scene of her boss's murder was very touching. He was a great guy too. Walter is a very mysterious person, who was very few, but it's a pity. Also a cool character, like Anderson's father (although there wasn't much of him) In general, summing up my muddled review, I want to say that for me this is a great vampire and Gothic anime, which I rate 5 stars out of 5. And which version is better? You are free to decide for yourself, because here already who prefers what more: a noir thriller or a bloodbath. Both versions are good in their own way, but as you have already understood, I choose VSN. I hope I won't be bullied, because this is pure subjectivity
I didn't find this anime at the time, but I remember watching Ultimate for a long time, and I was delighted. I decided to get acquainted with the original source. Now, at a more conscious age and with the ability to constructive criticism, I decided, after watching this, that I need to reconsider Ultimate, because maybe I will change my assessment of that anime. The very fact of the existence of such an organization as Hellsing is not clear to me. Why do we need 200 soldiers when 1 vampire can do the same thing? Well, make 5-10 more vampires, as they did with the Policeman, and this will solve absolutely all problems. Why does everyone start with Integra? The character is a purely cosmetic mannequin. Why is it needed? What is she doing useful? She even has a butler talking on the phone instead of her and coughing up all the questions. And as the massacre began, she was sweating all over, clutching her head, not understanding what to do, from elementary infirmity. Owns an imbecile vampire? Well, cool, make a pure Persian out of her, giving orders in 2 minutes per episode. The way they elevate her and try to make her look like an important character is just ridiculous. I'll come back to Ultimate over time and reconsider, maybe I just liked the universal trash there. But I'm not thrilled with this primary source.
@AlbertoLaFlare Celes is an example of heroic heroism, who, even after becoming a ghoul, has not lost her humanity. That's why it worked with her, but it wouldn't work with the others.
I would say that pulling Alucard for every little thing is a waste and an effect on the nerves of the strongest and most unpredictable vampire, but as we noticed from the title itself, he is not averse to shooting small vampires, and in general suffers from boredom, so yes. The motivation not to use Alucard for any reason is somehow completely undisclosed
@Maaarkelov: someone in the comments to the first series said, "I noticed once that Alucard should be read the other way around." It turns out that yes, Alucard is a vampire, whom other vampires cannot kill a priori. I suspect that the question was rhetorical ;)
At the time, I looked at the death note and thought, hmm, but you can watch anime. There is a thought, there is a message, there is an idea. And here I am 40 years old, I looked at gias - I do not understand admiration, I saw an elven song — I also do not understand admiration, and so I looked at Alucard. What can I say, gspda, is also complete nonsense. I tend to think that anime is all a dull G., for its audience. No, it doesn't mean that I won't look anymore, but so far so. I'll add some minuses here, well, okay, but if you also throw in great examples of anime for adults, I'll be glad.
Many people scolded the anime above, but most likely people expected a cool brain-blowing plot when they decided to turn it on. I went to get aesthetic pleasure and I got it. I just needed a beautiful old anime. While watching, I studied a little and realized that this was the goal the author as a whole was trying to achieve, he did not invent an ornate plot and just drew what he liked, not hesitating to borrow. You should not scold the work, you should just accept its features. In art, sometimes form prevails over meaning, and this is normal
Hellsing: The War against Evil Spirits is an immortal classic that is worth watching. A good title, I liked it. A good and gloomy drawing, which gives a certain zest peculiar to old anime. One of the unique approaches to the setting of vampirism, without departing from the historical canon and introducing its own details. From the very first episode of the anime, great music pierces the ear. Each composition is chosen perfectly. I liked the track called "Soul Rescuer" the most. The main character Alucard is as pretentious as possible and has incredible charisma, standing out from the rest of the characters. It definitely deserves attention and appreciation.
I've always wondered why this title has so many fans, I watched it completely with the hope of getting something worthy of the praises that are composed about it. And I was left with extremely mixed impressions.
Atmosphere - 10/10 Soundtrack - 10/10 Drawing - 8/10 Fights - 6/10 Antagonist - 3/10 Common sense is missing Logic is missing Motivation is missing The disclosure of the characters is missing The plot is the delirium of a schizophrenic patient
The series is exceptionally atmospheric. I don't really understand why, with such introductions, he became so iconic.
As, in general, we wrote above, the project is named after one Alucard, but at the same time GG is appropriate. At the same time, we know very little about her. A hero with the right compass, who just agreed to become a vampire from nothing and overcame thirst in some magical way on willpower and a couple of bags of medical blood a day. The disclosure of this character is extremely sketchy and insufficient, and her participation in the plot is categorically optional.
All these round table games, secret conspiracies and attempts to outplay each other in the end also turned out to be meaningless, just a background story arc without which, in fact, it would have been even better.
The arch about vamp chips is very interesting and promising, but it is literally not disclosed in any way. A couple of words and a couple of actions. And the most beautiful thing is that it is closed as absurdly as the arch about the round table, with one sentence at the end of the last episode, written in red on black. It's cool, you can feel the talent of the screenwriter.
The Papal Church is cool, stylish., what the fuck is necessary? Seriously, it's not even a separate arch, just some guest characters who came to hang out, to show that they don't like Hellings either. There are zero roles in the plot. The disclosure of the main characters with their help is also zero.
The villain is a faceless freak who is not revealed in any way at all. Why does he have such magic, why is he so scary, why does he have one human eye and the other kind of demonic, what is the purpose, who is behind him, etc. there are no answers to anything. Just a chaotic, senseless desire to destroy London with the help of a demon from hell. What the fuck was a demon from hell even needed here? And even like that. Why not just make the villain himself more interesting and strong is not clear.
Thank you for telling us under the last episode that Alucard himself cannot remove the seal of the first level, at least some logic appeared in them, before that it just looked like pretentious remarks without meaning.
In short, it was visually pleasant to watch, but that's all. I'm going to watch Ultimate, maybe they fixed at least some of the mistakes of this series
It's very difficult, it's not clear what kind of ORGANICS they are, they're cool, what are they doing? And why, in fact, the organization, if there is only one Alucard there. Somehow it helped to have a funny policewoman dancing all the way in a miniskirt and using SUCH trunks, although she is quite useless. There is very little Alucard himself, the final battle is generally what it was. The drawing has gone, the music is not bad, the rest is nothing.
The Glucose clip, which lasted for 13 episodes, is all that can be said about this misunderstanding of the noughties.
It is clear that hayat Hellsing is an unpopular opinion, because for many it is a childhood cartoon, but I, having not found it at that time, having watched it only now, cannot say well about it.
He's too childish and naive.
It's like Gangsta, Egmungand and the Pirates of the Black Lagoon - they are also highly overrated in themselves, but there is nothing else besides them.
