When I was first approached with an episode of HELLSING I thought, oh no another Vampire anime. I had been let down recently by BLOOD, a visually stunning piece, yet lacking in a good script and time. However, I thought I would give it a chance since the digital animation in VAMPIRE HUNTER D: BLOOD LUST was great (which I would NOT say is better than the original).
I must say I was surprised at HELLSING. It actually had a good script, good dialoge, and the use of digital animation really made the colors darker and truer. The blood red night sky was a pleasing touch. And while I still wish more anime's weren't going towards digital, if more do it like HELLSING, then I can live with it.
In Conclusion... HELLSING is a good sign of todays anime direction, and I await more.
