Hellsing Ultimate


If there is something I desire more than world peace, it's getting the latest volume of the new anime Hellsing Ultimate by Kohta Hirano. The animation is not groundbreaking, nor is it the best in script writing (I save that for the Rurouni Kenshin manga), but it is one of the most innovative vampire stories I have ever watched. It follows the tragic life of Alucard, who in Hirano's twisted modern world, is Prince Vlad III who would later come to be known as the Dracula from Bram Stoker's novel. Alucard fights for the modern Hellsing family (descended from Abraham van Helsing) to destroy his own evil progeny. Alucard has lived for more than 500 years but now he must face vampire Nazis, a modern Catholic airborne Crusader army, and a host of other fantastic creatures and monstrosities that are Hirano's trademark creations.

For those who are interested, please check out the official website.

I will recommend other good anime as time passes by.
