Psalm of Darkness

"With smoother animation, more action and the original English voice cast, Hellsing Ultimate Vol. 1 is worth buying, particularly if you enjoyed the first anime series. The OVA is far superior to the original series in every possible way (I like the new soundtrack though others don't) so if you're even remotely interested in the world of Hellsing then I can highly recommend this DVD."
A worthy follow-up

"HEllsing Ultimate gives the author Kouta Hirano another chance to unleash Hellsing upon the public, and it works. The animation quality is amazing, but the blood is kinda strange looking. The music is ok, but i prefer the music from the origional, and all the same voice actors are here japanese and english (except for the japanese Anderson.) You could only hope for more at 45 minuits, but the price is worth the figure, box, content, and extra features you get."

"I ordered this brand new and received it today! I was so ecstatic to open the packaging. I was thrilled to see the quality of this Limited Edition set.
My Alucard figure came perfect and in mint condition. The case for the dvds is a steel case. It's gorgeous and metallic red. I'm absolutely thrilled to have this in my collection. It's just plain gorgeous. I would not recommend storing this next to the other steel cases, as it might scratch or get pressure marks from being next to the others.
An extra bonus for me was the audio commentary and extras dvd. So on top of the beautiful anime and manga-true storyline, you get a nice boost from the cast.
If you've read the manga, then you will be used to the little humorous side steps this series will take. It's very true to the manga. (If you've only seen the first Hellsing series, you might not take well to the comedy.) Any fan of Hellsing should be glad to have this piece. It's collectibility is very high now, as well, what, with Geneon USA falling out.
Aside from that, it's a great anime series. Even though we wont see the rest of the series for awhile, we will see it eventually. Don't let the nay-sayers make you rethink this one, because you might end up regretting it. Any Hellsing fan should want to grab these up while they have the chance. I am absolutely happy with this purchase and I am going to get the other two as well. It's a piece of anime History."
One of the best animes ever

"Hellsing is the most incredible vampire shows ever and the new ova is even better.If you loved the TV series you'll love this even more(Plus if it were not for the TV series being so popular the ova wouldn't look as good as it does).The music may not be as great as the last but it fits well.The dvd is a bit short but still good.Besides it's better this because the orginal plan was to release two episodes per dvd but the release of each dvd would have been about two years apart from each other,but all that aside;great animation,bloody action,and more detailed story equals a great show that everybody should own."
