Hellsing Ultimate: The Interview

As a discussion topic, I wonder what impact this series might have upon anime's image with the general public if it indeed does become a breakout hit?
Zac, I know you care deeply about how people look upon anime and those who watch it, so are you concerned that this might become the next Ninja Scroll, given its gory content so far and the manga's seriously perverted sexual content (referring to your spoilers in the DVD review)?
Evil Dead 2 was mentioned in the interview, and I remember that that film was help up as an example of the most extreme sickness and depravity imaginable when it came out. I still remember Hugh Downes' report on 20/20, when he made it seem like the depraved creation of Satan worshippers or somesuch. (When I actually saw the film a few years later, I couldn't believe that anyone could take it seriously- it was so obviously over-the-top as to be comical.) Do you have any fears that Hellsing might be similarly slandered?

Or turned into a off-broadway musical, while we're at it?

I don't know if this is going to be a big enough hit to warrant being on 20/20--although I'm sure it'll do well. I mean, I haven't seen Naruto or Fullmetal Alchemist on 20/20 yet, either.

How on earth did you know about something like that musical?

I doubt Hellsing will end up on 20/20, either, but anime is at least known to a lot of magazines and such, and a show like this could provide an opportunity for writers to sound off on the "newest threat to our children's wellbeing", which is a sure-fire attention-getter; the kind of thing that some people like to exploit to further their own careers. I'm not saying that I think this will happen, I just wondered if anyone had thought about the possibility.
