Hellsing: Ultimate (Known in Japan as: HELLSING OVA (Herushingu OVA?)) is an Original Video Animation series based on a manga series by the same name by Kohta Hirano.

The first 50-minute installment was released to Region 2 DVD in Japan on February 10, 2006, and as of December 26, 2012, all ten episodes have been released. North America's release of the OVA was quite slow, as its dub was finished in 2014; 2 years after Hellsing: Ultimate had finished in Japan. The OVA was directed by Tomokazu Tokoro for the first 4 episodes, later replaced by Kenichi Suzuki and Yasuhiro Matsumura respectively, with a screenplay written by Hideyuki Kurata and Yousuke Kuroda, character designs provided by Ryoji Nakamori and music composed by Hayato Matsuo with a production by studio Satelight, then Madhouse, and then Graphinica x Kelmadick.

The series was created after the Hellsing anime had finished, and was intended to be more true to the manga than the anime was. The OVA series can be watched on Hulu, and Netflix in some regions.

Summary[]

Main article: Hellsing: Ultimate/Characters, Cast and Staff

The Hellsing Organisation, a secret branch of the British government, has long been battling supernatural threats to keep the people safe from creatures of the night. Its current leader, Sir Integra Hellsing, controls her own personal army to eliminate the undead beings, but even her highly trained soldiers pale in comparison to her most trusted vampire exterminator, Alucard, who is actually a powerful vampire himself. Along with Integra's mysterious butler and Alucard's new vampire minion, Seras Victoria, the Hellsing Organisation must face not only regular ghouls and vampires, but a rivaling secret branch of the Vatican and a mysterious group of madmen spawned by a certain war over 55 years ago.

Main Characters[]

  • Alucard: Alucard is a mysterious figure. A supernatural vampire of untold age and power, he acts as the Hellsing Organisation's secret weapon. His reasons for doing so, however, as well as his motivations, remains unknown. His position within the Hellsing Organisation is one of unique status. He is the agency's ace in the hole, answerable only to the Organisation's Chairman.
  • Sir Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing: A young noblewoman, she is the head and last member of the Hellsing family. She doubles as the leader of the Hellsing Organisation, and Alucard's "Master." She inherited the Hellsing Organization at the age of thirteen upon the death of her father. Although she often seems strict and domineering, she is respected and admired, even among her sworn enemies.
  • Seras Victoria: Seras was a member of the London Police Department until she was mortally wounded by Alucard in his destruction of a vampire masquerading as a priest. On the verge of death, she chose to allow Alucard to turn her into a vampire. Serving beneath Alucard, she now works for the Hellsing Organisation and deals with the consequences of her decision.

Hellsing: The Dawn[]

Taliesin Jaffe, the director of the Hellsing: Ultimate OVA Series has stated in a panel at Otakon 2008 that Hellsing: The Dawn is going to be animated as part of Ultimate. It was recently revealed on the official features page for Hellsing VIII on the official Japanese Hellsing website that the special Short Gaiden in the extra disc that comes with the limited edition of Hellsing: Ultimate OVA 8 will be The Dawn. The post also stated that the team will be working on a manuscript from Kohta Hirano himself and that the 4 pages of this manuscript will be included with the volume's liner notes booklet. The third installment of Gaiden featured a commercial for Drifters nearing the end.

Crossfire (Drama CD)[]

While talks about adapting Crossfire into an anime happened, they eventually set out to release Crossfire instead as a CD Drama series; releasing alongside Hellsing: Ultimate VI and Hellsing: Ultimate VII. Since Crossfire is mainly an episodic series; with each chapter featuring different main villains, the Crossfire CD Drama features Jin Horikawa as Aphram, Rei Igarashi as Ilyushin, and Susumu Chiba as Abraham Van Rogh as the main villains of Crossfire respectively. The voice actors for Heinkel Wolfe and Yumiko Takagi reprise their roles, alongside Alexander Anderson and Enrico Maxwell.

Luke and Jan Valentine - A Merry Manga[]

A commercial for Hellsing: Ultimate IV features the Afterword segments of the Hellsing manga, however, with some slight changes. Most of these are completely original segments written by the OVA's staff, despite it being directly inspired by the Afterword segments of Hellsing. Essentially, these segments are just the animators having fun and it's completely comedic. There's nothing serious about this at all. Furthermore, since it's a commercial, some of the lines written, especially near the ends are sometimes Luke Valentine directly informing the viewers that the "Blu-ray discs will come out along with the CDs."
