Watched it, and hated it. The story becomes mega-crap near the end; but the music is good, and the English dub is pretty good. Plus there's still the badass-ness of Alexander Anderson. In any case: 3/10

In any case: 3/10 Well remember, they only had two volumes of the manga to work with at the time, and considering how Hellsing: Ultimate is able to make 1 volume = 1 episode, yeah...um...to say they had to stretch a lot of things is obvious. I mean f***, once they got done with the Valentine Brothers(which took up the biggest chunk of the anime) they just introduced random characters that weren't in the manga. Also, how can you hate on something that revealed to us how big Integra's boobs really are? Granted compared to Ultimate this series is weak, but on its own, and considering what little they had to use, I have to give this one a 7.5/10. Previously it was in a 9/10, but then Ultimate came out and made this its bitch.

After I finish watching Turn A Gundam, I'm gonna watch through Hellsing Ultimate. I dunno if that counts

Incomplete or not, I'd much rather watch Ultimate than the first Hellsing OVA.
Don't get me wrong, I liked it back in like...2002 or whenever it was, but the plot gets so convoluted and puzzling near the end that it left me unsatisfied.
To this day, I have no effing clue what happened on the last episode.
It was just so...buh?
Shoulda kept with the manga plot like Ultimate did.

I didn't like it, either. I thought the animation was poopy. Alucard was kind of cool, though.

Love it, one of those Animes I've watched probably 100 times. Even if this particular version leaves out everything that I really really really love about the Manga, it's still got an interesting story and characters that I like. 'Red Rose Vertigo' is an awesome episode with Integras epic boobage and all, plus that fake Sister Vampire. The English dub is also really good. Now when we get to Ultimate, then I'll really gush. ;D

Great English dub and that's about it.
Ultimate and the manga are MUCH better.

Appropriately, the creator got his start in doing hentai. Many of his earlier characters evolved into the Hellsing cast.
Regular: Yep Guro: Yep Scat: No. This needs to be corrected. Crossovers: That one orgy pic Rule 63: Yep Tentacles: Yep Deflowering: Nope A SERAS SANDWICH: No mayonnaisse! No mayonnaisse!

I would rather Bang my head against the wall, to the rhythm of Cyndi Lauper, than watch this again. Now if you excuse me.
