5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant, Dec 6 2007

This review is from: Hellsing Ultimate, Vol. 3 - Limited Edition (DVD)
This DVD (and series) is brillaint.
The dub is really well done as is the original Japanese version. And the animation is superb, but maybe not for the faint hearted because of the blood etc but I'm not complaining. Also with the introduction of Pip, Major, Doc, the Captain and the Harkkonnen spirit, it makes the episode a whole lot cooler.
The extra's on the DVD's are really cool too. On the main disc you get the Japanese version, the dubbed version and a commentary with Victoria Harwood, J.B Blanc and Taliesin Jaffe (the ADR director). There are also trailers for other series from Geneon.
On the extra's disc, there is:
An interview with Ms Harwood, Mr Blanc and Mr Jaffe
The creditless ending for the OVA
A production art gallery by Ryoji Nakamori
A Voice actors Panel featuring Taliesin Jaffe, Crispin Freeman, Ralph Lister, Patrick Seitz, Josh Phillips and Jonathan Klein (and a surprise guest)
And the Geneon booth featuting the Hellsing Mansion
The DVD also comes with a bust model of Alexander Anderson (turning into his "Anderplant" form), which is extremely detailed. it includes one of his blessed bayonets and two pairs of glasses (two just incase the first pair get damaged or broken as they are rather delecate). A wonderful model to add to your Hellsing collection.
Overall, this DVD is a must b

I'll be honest. I normally don't go in for Limited Editions but a friend of mine is in the AX 2007 footage. I'm not a huge DVD extras junkie myself, but I did check out all of the extras and I was entertained by them all. If you're a huge fan of Hellsing and the English voice actors (and they're all quite good) then I would say you will be well pleased by the extras provided by the Limited Edition.
This third installment of the OVA is amazing. Pip is sufficiently smarmy and there are impalings, not really sure more needs to be said for fans of the series. If you're buying this for somebody you know is a fan of the series, this is a good choice if they already have the other two. This animated version follows the manga/comic *very* closely, so even a purist would enjoy it I think. If they only know the previous animated TV series then the story has already diverged and this is new territory for them. (Which is probably a good thing.) If you're buying this for yourself, and you're not already a fan of the series, you should probably make sure this series is your thing before buying all the way up to the third DVD.

Part 3, Oct 22 2007
By S. Cailleau "Tom Cailleau" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hellsing Ultimate, Vol. 3 - Limited Edition (DVD)
The quality of this dvd is just like the previous 2 parts incredible. This limited edition box doesn't come with an artbook like the previous one, but just like part 1 with one of em 3D wall pictures. The figure is Father Anderson this time, and the details on the figure are really amazing, he even has his glasses ^_^. The movie itself is more violent than the previous 2 parts and is one of the best anime pieces I've ever seen. The images are crisp, the suspense and action/gore are mind blowing, the story is great... If there is one series you really must own, its this one! The box and packaging is one of the most gorgeous ones I've ever seen.
I don't do reviews, but this one is a must buy for everyone, manga/anime fan or not, just buy it! One of the best series ever made (so is Death Note btw)
