Hellsing

So this'll be the last post before Christmas!! So in advance, Merr Christmas!! I hope you all enjoy your holidays!! :)

The Hellsing Organisation. Supported by the British Government and run by the Hellsing family, this organization's mission is to put a stop to non-human activity. I always have a natural affinity to anime based in England, I'm not entirely sure why because other than a government and queen, there is no reference to the fact that they're in England! So anyway, this Hellsing Organisation is essentially a vampire extermination group and as a new breed of vampire begins to reign havoc Hellsing has to fight hard. These vampires are a bit weird as they have like microchips in their necks, so they're like cyborg vampires or something! The anime follows two particular members of Hellsing: Alucard and Victoria. Alucard is the strongest vampire in existence, he's like crazy strong. I know he's a vampire but there is a reason he's working for Hellsing, I just don't know it yet.... Then there's Hellsing's vampire no.2, Victoria. She was a Police Girl until Vampires attacked her unit and Alucard changed her rather than killing her. She's really cool, she uses really big guns and has super cute fangs! wait, I'm not talking about the plot any more, am I? Well, I suppose I don't really know the plot, it was more like, bang bang kill the vampire. Hmm, well it is entertaining! But I do want to see more plot.
It's a 2001 anime and it really shows it's age. The animation is a bit stiff and the colours are so drained. What is this not-HD? But the art style is nice! I already mentioned Victoria's cute fangs, but there is also alucard's face shaper and all the exciting settings which are the result of a good art style despite it's age.

The characters are a bit hard to decipher... Alucard is mostly quite nonchalant to his surroundings, but he has moments of ferocity which match his vampirac state. I think he has a lot more to his character, but maybe that's just because his coat makes him look suspicious! It is an epic coat. With an epic coat and goggles to match! He's pretty cool looking. Then there's Victoria who has such a cute character! Even when they've been turned into ghouls, she finds it impossible to shoot her comrades. In fact, when she's first turned, she refuses to drink blood! But what's with her outfit? She's not a Police lady any more, but she still wears her uniform? Why doesn't she get a Hellsing uniform like every one else? And why does her police uniform consist of a mini skirt? That's way too inappropriate!
I watched this because there is a lot of hype around this show, it's one of those shows that nearly every one knows about, so I was expecting something great! Unfortuanately the anime shows it's age and the plot hasn't gotten anywhere and out of 12 episodes there's not much left for it. It is quite entertaining, so I will finish the series! But really, what's all the hype about? Have you watched Hellsing? Did you think it was worth the hype? Please share!
