 Alas, Pioneer... November 26, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's unfortunate that Geneon (formerly Pioneer) is going out of biz in the US. Ironically, we'll probably never get to see the rest outside of fan subs... (Which means yet more of my hard earned money will probably be going to Hong Kong and other sources of pirated anime just to get the series I like...)

This DVD (and series) is brillaint.
The dub is really well done as is the original Japanese version. And the animation is superb, but maybe not for the faint hearted because of the blood etc but I'm not complaining. Also with the introduction of Pip, Major, Doc, the Captain and the Harkkonnen spirit, it makes the episode a whole lot cooler.
The extra's on the DVD's are really cool too. On the main disc you get the Japanese version, the dubbed version and a commentary with Victoria Harwood, J.B Blanc and Taliesin Jaffe (the ADR director). There are also trailers for other series from Geneon.
On the extra's disc, there is:
An interview with Ms Harwood, Mr Blanc and Mr Jaffe
The creditless ending for the OVA
A production art gallery by Ryoji Nakamori
A Voice actors Panel featuring Taliesin Jaffe, Crispin Freeman, Ralph Lister, Patrick Seitz, Josh Phillips and Jonathan Klein (and a surprise guest)
And the Geneon booth featuting the Hellsing Mansion
The DVD also comes with a bust model of Alexander Anderson (turning into his "Anderplant" form), which is extremely detailed. it includes one of his blessed bayonets and two pairs of glasses (two just incase the first pair get damaged or broken as they are rather delecate). A wonderful model to add to your Hellsing collection.
Overall, this DVD is a must b
Too expensive? October 26, 2007

hell no
lets put it in perspective
you go into burger king and order three whopper jrs
they fill you up and it only cost around $3
you go into a restaurant and order a gourmet meal and filled you up
cost you around $25
was the gourmet worth it?
yes indeed
its just like that with hellsing ultimate
they seem to have taken their time to get the fight scenes just right and the visuals are spectacular
i admit it, when i first read some reviews i thought it was going to be cheesy. After watching the first bad guy i thought i was wasting my time
but no, it gets so much better afterwards
its only a single 40min episode per disc but its worth it
New Chapter in Hellsing November 20, 2007
Those who are familiar with the original Hellsing series can start to neglect the events from that story arc as this is where the new material enters the fray. It adds in characters not featured, or dominant, in the original series and begins to add depth to the story and develop the plot.
I want to note that this Limited Edition Set comes with not just the extra disc but with a statuette/plaque of Paladin Andersong similar to the one of Alucard that came with volume one. The details of this piece are top shelf going so far as to actually have readable religious passages painted on the pages of his bible and the gloves. Some assembly is required (sword hand insertion into arm and glasses) that the instructions are less than specific about in a certain regard but, an intelligent adult should be able to put it together.
The additional content on the bonus disc is nice featuring intervies, art gallery, Q&A panel of the director, producer, and voice talent from an anime convention, and some videos.
Well worth the price tag when you see all that it comes with.
Awesome January 7, 2008
This DVD set was awesome, not that I was that surprised, as the first and second volumes were awesome as well. I liked the Anderson model, though he may lose his glasses easily and it is difficult to get the stand to stay vertical, but these are minor gripes.
What surprised me was how fast it came. The product arrived weeks before it was specified to, and I live in Canada. I am wholeheartedly contented.
