Hellsing Ultimate

Hellsing Ultimate (ヘルシング, Herushingu?) is a 10 episode anime OVA based the manga by Kouta Hirano. The OVA series served as a reboot to the Hellsing TV series produced by Gonzo. The first four episodes were animated by Satelight, the fifth, sixth and seventh episodes were animated by Madhouse and the eighth, ninth and tenth episodes were animated by Graphinica. It ran from February 10, 2006 to December 26, 2012, running for over ten episodes.

Like the TV series, the OVA series was licensed for English language release in North America by Geneon Entertainment. Following Geneon's closure, FUNimation Entertainment picked up the rights to the series.

Synopsis

Vampires exist. It is the duty of Hellsing, a secret organization sponsored by the British government, to hide that frightening fact and protect the blissfully unaware populace. Along with its own personal army, Hellsing has secret weapons. Alucard, an incredibly powerful vampire, has been controlled by Hellsing for years. It is unclear how he feels about being a servant to the Hellsing family, but he certainly enjoys his job as a vampire exterminator. Seras is a fledgling vampire and former police woman. Although reluctant to embrace her new self, she is a valued member of the organization. Integra Hellsing, the current leader, is usually fully capable of fulfilling her duty, but lately, vampire activity has been on the rise. Unfortunately, the cause is more alarming than anything she could have imagined. A group long thought dead has been plotting in secret since their apparent destruction over 50 years ago. Plotting to plunge England, and perhaps the entire world, into war.
