just saw the first part, and so far i like this a lot better than the series. it's a lot deeper, and it's a bit less serious. my only complaint is the music really sucks.

I hate to sound like an idiot, because I am such a huge hellsing fan, but is this the second season of hellsing or the movie or something else?

Its kinda a remake of the original, that follows the manga a lot better.

No you didn't. What you saw was a massive, 30 minute trailer.  The thing going around now called "Digest for Fleaks" (lol) is a preview for the real episode 1 that comes out in February. All that we see here are the "rough draft" versions of two scenes that will be in the final cut of the first episode, which is set to run around 50 minutes once completed.
Though you're right that it did kick very much ass.

Wow, that was just a preview
 ?! I must say, though, it was quite a teaser.
Aside from the obvious advancement in art and animation, the new music was pretty good. It felt like it was trying to somewhat imitate the old music, but had an almost techno vibe instead of a rock one. Some of the orchestral stuff I heard sounded nice and seems a bit more dramatic than what was in the TV series (but I still like the old music too). Content wise, I've still yet to read the manga  . But darn it, I'm going to at least buy the first volume this coming month  !

Man sounds so promising...I really liked the original Hellsing. I'm sick of most vampire stuff because when I see American Vampire movies come out...what's the point of BEING a vampire? If you've ever seen Blade or Underworld, it's all about the gadgets and guns. The fact that the enemies are vampires just mean they are physically strong with even more weaknesses than a human, heh.
I wonder if/when this comes over to america, will the same company/actors pick it up...I liked the dub. Since it's an OVA it might take awhile to come out and finish though huh? |

Not only does Geneon own the rights, they were involved in creating the OVA in the first place. I'm guessing they did what Cartoon Network did for the second season of Big O, and provided some funding, which I'm sure they can afford. As for dubbing, Geneon will more than likely try to rehire New Generation Pictures again, which is a good start. However, I think I heard Geneon is also non-union when it comes to their labor contract or whatever. And with that, I hear Crispin Freeman is union only now. Not that I think he's as good as Nakata Jouji, but he's certainly a better fit than anyone else I can think of. So if you're hoping to hear him do Alucard again, it more than likely won't happen  .

Unless he goes by a different name/alias, which I am hoping he will, than he can play Alucard. He is the quintessential Alucard, I can't see anyone else playing that role. |
