Sorry Red, I had to create a new thread for your question because where you posted was talking about another series.

"Hellsing" is basically a vampire series. It's very dark, very bloody, and something that vampire fans and maybe non-vampire fans will enjoy.

The plot:
In England, there is a secret organization named "Hellsing" whose mission is to destroy vampires and ghouls from the face of the earth. They are known only by the Royal Family and their rival organization, the Vatican Church. The leader of this is Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing and her main "weapon" used to destroy the vampires/ghouls, is a vampire as well: Arucard (or Alucard).

This series has only 13 episodes and contrary to what I might've said about a second season, it might actually still be a rumor. Anyway, the plot is enjoyable but the story in certain episodes seem to be poorly done. The animation is nicely done and the action sequences are smooth, but in certain episodes, drawings aren't as beautiful and detail aren't as visible. The music gives the series a raw, dark, edgy feel and accompanies certain scenes well. Main characters are likable (especially Arucard) and well-developed, even supporting characters.
I hope I helped you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
