In Summary:
For as flawed as the TV series was, I enjoyed it a lot but knew that it was making serious leaps away from the source material, something that's still being published. Having read the seven released volumes of manga since then, my anticipation for the show as the zombies and Nazi's start showing up is immense. Reading the manga since the announcement it's easier to imagine the scenes from it coming to life but even more so now having seen the approach they're taking. The opening episode of the OVA franchise isn't a knock your socks off kind of experience but it is one that says clearly what kind of path that they'll be following as they set out to separate themselves from what's come before. This release when it arrives in the US will likely completely reinvigorate the Hellsing fanbase and be something that's talked about a lot. I can't wait for that release and have to have it as it comes out. The Hellsing OVA is one of the best modern vampire anime shows I've seen yet. Very recommended.
