Difference

"The 13 episode TV series was produced by Studio GONZO in 2001, with the story and characters slightly different from the original manga."

slightly ?, has nothing to do with the manga.

almost everything up to about Order 07 is a straight port. After that they just start making sh*t up, yeah.--Mobius Soul 01:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually large parts of the stuff before Order 07 is made up. "Innocent as A Human" (Order 4) and "Brotherhood" (Order 5) AFAIK are not in the manga. Form Order 8 things start getting out of hand and by Order 10 it is a total botch up.--BruceGrubb (talk) 16:24, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rumor?

Is this an eBay hoax or is there really a new 2ed series or bleated 2ed season of Hellsing going on in Japan right now?

No, it isn't a hoax. We've known about it since spring of last year, and the first episode came out in February '06. Schrödinger 05:24, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

However, it isn't so much a second series as a couple of OVAs that redo some pre-existing episodes and adapts some as of yet, unadapted isolated segments of the manga. Heihachi 18:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They Mainly

Doesn't this paragraph sound unprofessional? Somebody edit it please:

They mainly fight vampires who are artificially created using a chip that is implanted in a living person. It is called a Freak Chip, and the resulting vampires are called Freaks. One trait of the Freak Chip is a pattern in the circuitry that looks like a swastika.

To create these copies the makers of the Freak Chip need a real Vampire; Incognito.

This story mainly follows the battle of the Hellsing organization against the Freaks.

Logos Naki World

Logos is latin for Logic, so the name of the song is "A world without Logic"

Best songs of the series

I think that it would be useful to many to mention most distinguished songs of the series. I am for example unable to find the name of the song in episode 6 when Alucard taunts Luke Valentine without legs anywhere. I would suggest to create new category called Music (and category Theme music would by subcategory of Music). Someone with the knowledge could you please replay or update article? Thanks. 85.135.239.136 00:25, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Needs Cleanup

Im not sure how to put the tag in, but this article needs to be reworded badly. the first paragraph alone contains spelling mistakes, poor grammer and sounds very unprofessional. I would also like to see sources for the bit about it being Arucard not Alucard, it says its written Arucard on the DVD box and in the manga, are we talking about english version here? or do the japanese versions use the english alphabet? in japanese, the letters "L" and "R" are not different letters, they are represented by the same character and thus it could be either. It is also fairly common knowledge i beleive that his name is "Dracula" spelt backwards and thus it would be "Alucard". Although It sounds resonable that it may have been changed to Arucard to avoid copyright infringment, I think this whole section needs to be better explained. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mloren (talk • contribs) 10:00, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

It's vandalism, it doesn't need explaining. Schrödinger 13:10, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I did some reading about that, it has something to do with the different letters in the Japanese alphabet, and when listening to the show it sounds like they are pronouncing with more of an -r sound instead of an -l sound. EmericanBuddha (talk) 22:42, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also when you read on the Alucard (Hellsing) page they talk about it. So maybe that needs to be checked on too. EmericanBuddha (talk) 22:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incognito

This line "It has also been argued that, while Alucard may be inspired by, or is Count Dracula, Incognito may have been inspired by the vampire Count Orlok, from the 1922 silent movie Nosferatu." is unfounded and is illogical. Nosferatu is based on the Dracula story and Orlok is based on Count Dracula. King Rhyono (talk) 03:01, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd label it as speculation. Would've taken it down myself if I saw it earlier. You have every right to de-bunk content like that ;) Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 21:35, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
