Hellsing Ultimate, Vol. 4

I have been a huge fan of Hellsing for many years, so I absolutely love the Ultimate series for being such a great production that also stays true to the manga. The voicing is spot on, the animation is brilliant, and the story flows as it should. Especially with this volume, the accents are fantastic. No ridiculously crappy voice acting.I read that people had issues getting the DVD to play. Instead of trying to run it in my PS2 I played it on my laptop instead. I used the software that came with my computer and had no problems.I have only one complaint; however, I'm not sure what is to blame. The manga seems to drag on, over-explaining every detail and lingering on scenes involving the Nazis, Integra, and Iscariot; but this volume of the Ultimate series in particular appeared a tad bit rushed, given the amount of material it covered from the manga.Overall, I'm pleased with the result. The gist of the story is presented without chopping vital information. Whoever cut the scenes made a good choice because there was nothing that was left out that I couldn't live without.But that's just me, and I'll be honest -- I'm going to end up buying the remainder of the series as it's released to DVD.

The original Anime is loosely based off of the Manga. By that I mean the first couple episodes go along with the manga. As with all things, the book is better than the anime. However...Hellsing Ultimate comes so very near what the Manga was about, blood, story, defining of characters. It's truly amazing how they used the visual effects to create the world you watch unfold. The seemingly random moments of laughter, along with the dramatic build up before a fight. When watching the bonus discs you learn how they searched far and wide to ensure the voices for each English/German character would fit the character. It's quite amazing how much detail they have given to this series, and how well they followed the manga. They've gone as far as to include story from the often unheard of Dawn series which is about Alucards days before the Hellsing Organization. With this much work and detail put into one short series, I waited over a decade for the completion...and am still a fan to this day.-poorventrue

I'm so glad Hellsing IV is finally here I was so sad when all that stuff happened, but now that Hellsing IV is here I'm so happy.. =DThe Hellsing Ultimate is a must for the fans of the Hellsing manga it follows pretty closely with the storyline and I think both the English and Japanese voicing is really great the extras in the Limited edition dvds are really nice and the 200 page artbook is really nice I give this 5 out of 5 stars because Hellsing ultimate has such a good story and this volume is my favorite because it has Rip van Winkle she's one of my favorite characters in Hellsing so it was so nice seeing her and hearing how her voice sounds also seeing as how there is a Karaoke of Major's Speech I was hoping there would also be a Karaoke of Rip van Winkle singing... Just kidding. =)With Hellsing Ultimate IV here I can rest well knowing there'll be more of the Hellsing Ultimates comming on the way.

I love hellsing and since ultimate is closer to the original manga, i had to buy the limited editions. The first 3 volumes never caused a problem, but with this volume i had troubles playing it in vlc media player. The sound and picture was choppy, which surprised me, since all other dvd's played fine. Soon i discovered that this disk installs a copy protection rootkit on your system, so that you can't copy files from the dvd. Seems like this caused the problem with playback. As if the copy protection rootkit isn't enough, i couldn't even watch the movie. I used Anydvd, which disabled the protection during playback and this worked fine. The movie is great, but for the rootkit, i would have given it 5 stars. Now i consider not buying dvd's from this company anymore, since i don't like software being installed without my knowledge which interferes with my system. Things like that should be banned

Excellent well made and scary as hell and I love it, I have both Hellsing, and Hellsing Ultimate this is way darker and bloody then Hellsing is, Walter has a secret of his own and it is a real mind blower, Integra deals with betrayal, trechery and being abandoned by certain indididuals whom you'd never expect it from. If you love Hellsing you will definately love this one. My only regret is i can't get the the last one wish the company would put it on the market, Sigh

This does it's transition to the other episodes, nothing super spectacular, some new imaginative characters introduced, completes the collection BUT in all not really noteworthy.

It's good but it's not great. I could have done without the 5-10 minute monologe at the end. That was very boring to me. I'm not really sure if I like where the series is headed. I'll have to wait and see what the rest of the series has to offer.

This a wonderful DVD. It just happens that the person I bought it from was selling the Limited Edition Two Disc case which was awesome. I was expecting just the one dvd case so I was happily surprised by that. The series is a must see.

With OVA4 the Millennium group, really start to get their act together to attack the UK. They hijack an aircraft carrier and Alucard is sent by rather unusual means, to retake the carrier and dispose of the Millennium operative on-board. If we follow the books then Alucard is going to be stuck on this boat and London is going straight to the pit of hell. Role on OVA5 - hope it'll be available after Geneon's demise in the US.
