You may be right, Frozen-sama, but I have a feeling that Hellsing will be very popular in the US. I mean...first off, there's gory action, lots of it, there's blood, guts, vampires, morphing, kick-ass characters, an interesting plot, great voice acting...I mean, no offense to anyone, but you have to admit that it's these characteristics that most American audiences look for. Compared this to Fruits Basket, a shoujo story which is being licensed by the DBZ company and about to be released in the states, I'd say that Hellsing has a better chance of being popular. I don't even see why Fruits is even being licensed. Shoujo stories are considered so dumb in the states, while in Japan, it's the number 1 anime series of the year. You get what I'm trying to say, right? As long as there's action and a good story, it's bound to be popular.
