Review # 1 was written on 2018-05-19 00:00:00 Jonathan White I really don't want to bring the rating for this series down. I'm reading these volumes at the request of a friend, and they are, I suspect quite good for Manga. I'm not really much of a Manga reader. What I find fascinating about the series is the way religion is tied so effortlessly into the plot. Alucard is no doubt the coolest of the vampires. There's quite a bit of theological stuff to chew on here as well. I'm not usually shy about expressing my opinion, but I really don't have much to compare this with. As a kid I read comic books like everyone else did, but apart from a stint reading all the Calvin and Hobbes books, and Gary Larson's The Far Side, I've gone pretty much textual. Kohta Hirano is talented both as an artist and as a story-teller. Probably it's my age, but I'm not sure I'm following the story correctly, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. A fine way to pass a rainy afternoon.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-19 00:00:00 Angela KAY Wow, now that was a hell of an adventure! I was 100% sure I wouldn't give another 5 stars to any other "Hellsing" volume, and yet, here I am - doing it! So.. Why I thought I wouldn't? I kind of grew tired of all the teared and flying around human limbs. Also, Alucard has a dying wish or something since he gets killed in almost (or) every battle he has engaged so far. The cop has a little appearance at all, and I wanted to see more of her to begin with. BUT! It is good. Really good. The art is improving: Kohta-sensei is no longer in huge pointy noses, now they are normally long and pointy. Alucard is getting more and more insane with every new page, I think I'm starting to fall for him even if Kohta-sensei rarely troubles to draw his entire face. The story is revealing really fast, I mean, what happened at vol.2 was the end of 13-episodes of anime! So imagine my surprise when what I knew would happen and expected it to happen around the 7th volume, happened so early! Another 7 volumes of pure, evil unknown, now that's a great start! I got so into this manga, that I'd stop on some beautiful (in a sick, twisted way, ya know) panel and just admire it for several more seconds before I proceed to the next one. To feel it. To remember it. To admire it.
