Hellsing... No the first one.

OK so first off I would like to say that I am a MUCH bigger fan of the original Hellsing set then most people seam to be. But I will admit that the New OVA series Hellsing Ultimate has allot to do with most peoples view on the OG Hellsing.

So I thought I would take a little time out to point out... (Make a list) Of the things I think the OG did better then the OVA. And things that it did not do well/didn't do as well as the OVA... (OK wait)

If you haven't figured it out/know what I am talking about.

OG = Original in anime/movie groups.
OVA = Is a acronym for Original Video Animation. And is general in reference to a mini-series or one shot movie of a Anime. And or a already esisting anime series. The OG hellsing was in fact a OVA 13 episode set. But it is much less a OVA in heart then the Hellsing Ultimate OVA.

OK so here is my list making.
The first list is things that i REALLY like about the OG hellsing, Or think it does better then the OVA hellsing. The 2nd list is A list of stuff that the OG does wrong.
The third list is a list of stuff that OVA just does better.

List ONE! (OMG! I LOVE MAKING LISTS)
Stuff I rather like about the OG Hellsing.
#1. Characters.
OK to be honest. There are really only three compelling character in the ENTIRE OR Hellsing. Alucard, Integra and Anderson. And allot of Alucard's charm is based on the fact that he is all kind of bad ass and more importantly he is voice by Crispin Freeman.
Integra is a very compelling. (The most compelling in the show) She has the most back story, and allot of the drama / tension in the show is fueled entirely by Integra's force of will. (Literally) If you have watched it. Or You are going to I just have just two words to say. "Letter Opener" something that SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN Ultimate.
And then there is Anderson. I have never seen anyone that dose not love this guy, and it's not because he is a good characters its just because he is fun as all get out.
#2. Voice Acting.
I think I already said this... Crispin Freeman as Alucard.
Victoria Harwood as Integra. Who is ACTUALLY BRITISH!
Steven Brand as Anderson... Who is ACTUALLY SCOTTISH!
I really like the fact that they.. you know got a British actress to be the British female.
And a Scottish man to be the Scottish male.
#3. Music.
The music in the OG hellsing is great... In that the opening is very good. And the songs are very good....
#4. Art Work.
The art work in this show... CAN BE very nice, that is very stylish... Like the opening with him walking throw the forest, with the red sky and moon.. That is good... But... Well latter.
#5. Weird Stuff.
The show just seams to have thing every now and then that are just hilarious! But.... They are few and far between.
#6. Boundary's.
This version of Hellsing seams more tasteful then the OVA version... But really that can be better/worse then the OVA.

Stuff I did not like about the OG Hellsing.
#1. Characters.
Pretty much every other character is pretty boring. Serias Victoria is just boring.
Walter is alright. But other then that.. There is not character that sticks out and most of them are just boring. Even the made up (By compairison to the fact this is based off a manga) Bad guy, his voice acting is alright. But still nothing interesting.
#2. Voice Acting.
... ... Again.. Nothing interesting here other then the mentioned stuff before that was good.
And some of the English accents are HORRIBLE!
#3. Music.
As I stated before the music is very nice.... But it's used very badly. Some times you can't here over it, and other times you can't here it at all. The exception of this is.
A: The song that plays in Integras letter opener / back story plot.
B: The very weird song that plays wile the bad guy powers up.
#4. Art Work.
The art for the main characters is good... And the rest is... OK but thats just it Just OK.
#5. Story line.
O my god no.... There is no story line. There is some very nice character driven story. (By that I mean Integra) But other then that its a bunch of unanswered questions. And a lot of story who goes no were.

Stuff that Hellsing Ultimate did better.
#1. Character... (Only one of them)
Seras Bictoria is MUCH more enjoyable. And by that I mean much more Ax Crazy... Just trust me. Every one likes her more this way.
Also Walter is much better in this version.
#2. Voice Acting...
Same as above. Seras Victoria voice acting is done better... I don't even know if it is a different person. But it's just better. Also Walter is much better in this version.
#3. Music.
No... No. I don't even know if there is music in this version. I just don't remember anything about it, but I remember that it's mucis dose seam to fit better.
#4. Art Work.
This version is just more consistant not really better.
#5. Story line.
Were to start. Lets just say this. There is a story line. That just the thing that makes this better.... There is a story line. It goes some were.

End of story.
