Hello, Hive friends.

Hola, amigos de Hive.

Today, after a little over a month without posting about anime, I decided to come back with my Anime Challenge.

Hoy, despues de poco más de un mes sin publicar sobre anime, he decidido volver con mi Anime Challenge.

This time it's time to talk about Hellsing, an anime about vampires from 2001 that many people have praised and criticized in equal measure. In fact, many of my acquaintances who like anime have recommended it to me fervently and some others have told me that it's not worth watching.

Esta vez es el turno de hablar sobre Hellsing, un anime sobre vampiros del año 2001 que mucha gente ha alabado y criticado por igual. De hecho, muchos de mis conocidos a los que les gusta el anime me lo han recomendado fervientemente y algunos otros me han dicho que no vale la pena verlo.

The truth is that due to those comments I hadn't decided to watch it before, but I wanted to give it a chance this time because of the Anime Challenge, so I decided to watch it and I was able to finish it today.

La verdad es que debido a esos comentarios no me había decidido a verlo antes, pero quise darle la oportunidad esta vez con motivo del Anime Challenge, por lo que decidí verlo y pude terminarlo el día de hoy.

Without further ado, let's get to the technical details and my personal opinion about the anime.

Sin más dilación, vamos con los detalles técnicos y mi opinión personal sobre el anime.

Synopsis

Sinópsis:

Hellsing follows the activities of the Hellsing Organization, a secret British entity dedicated to protecting England and humanity from supernatural threats, especially vampires. The protagonist is Integra Hellsing, the leader of the organization, who is aided by Alucard, a powerful vampire who works for her. Together, they fight creatures of the night and uncover a larger conspiracy that threatens to unleash chaos on the world.

La protagonista es Integra Hellsing, la líder de la organización, quien cuenta con la ayuda de Alucard, un poderoso vampiro que trabaja para ella. Juntos, combaten criaturas de la noche y descubren una conspiración más grande que amenaza con desatar el caos en el mundo.

Opinion:

Opinión:

The story starts off well, painting an interesting plot in which we meet Police Officer Seras Victoria, we are introduced to the conflict of zombies and vampires and we meet the fearsome and emblematic Alucard, however, as the story progresses we can notice that the plot deviates a bit or, rather, it loses a bit of sense, since things happen that have no explanation and in the long run it remains like that, as if they happened just because and that the character of Seras Victorias in the end turns out to be quite useless, which in my opinion is a waste of a character with a lot of potential.

La historia empieza bien, pintando una trama interesante en la que conocemos a la Oficial de Policía Seras Victoria, nos plantea el conflicto de los zombies y los vampiros y conocemos al temible y emblemático Alucard, sin embargo, a medida que avanza la historia podemos notar que la trama se desvía un poco o, mejor dicho, pierde un poco el sentido, ya que ocurren cosas que no tienen explicación y a la larga queda así, como que ocurrieron solo porque sí y que el personaje de Seras Victorias al final resulta ser bastante inútil, lo que a mi parecer es un desperdicio de un personaje con bastante potencial.

I'm not going to talk about its animation, which although I don't really like it, I can't criticise it because it's an anime from almost 24 years ago and you can't demand much from anime of that era in this area.

No voy a hablar de su animación, que aunque no me gusta realmente, no puedo criticarla porque es un anime de hace casi 24 años y no se le puede exigir mucho a los anime de esa época en este ámbito.

I think its strongest points would be Alucard himself, his relationship with Integra Hellsing and ultimately its soundtrack, which does a spectacular job of accompanying the moments of tension and action.

Creo que sus puntos fuertes vendrían siendo el mismo Alucard, su relacion con Íntegra Hellsing y en definitiva su banda sonora, que hace un trabajo espectacular al acompañar los momentos de tensión y de acción.

I don't have much more to say about this anime, because I found it quite interesting at first but it fell short of what it could have been. Except for one or two epic scenes, it was pretty bland overall and I personally wouldn't recommend it.

No tengo mucho más que decir sobre este anime, porque la verdad me pareció bastante interesante al principio pero se quedó corto en cuanto a lo que pudo ser. Salvo una que otra escena épica, fue bastante soso en general y yo en lo personal no lo recomendaría.

I understand there is a series of OVAs that better cover the adaptation of the original manga to anime format, perhaps more worthwhile than this series.

Tengo entendido que hay una serie de OVAs que cubren mejor la adaptación del manga original al formato anime, quizás valga más la pena que esta serie.

To conclude, I give it a score of 5/10. I don't give it less points because I really liked its soundtrack and the character of Alucard is quite interesting.

Para finalizar, le otorgo una puntuación de 5/10. No le doy menos puntos porque realmente me gustó su banda sonora y el personaje de Alucard es bastante interesante.


Next time I will be reviewing Inuyashiki, which I hope will be better and more entertaining.

En la próxima ocasión estaré haciendo la reseña de Inuyashiki, el cual espero que sea mejor y más entretenido.

Without further ado, I bid you farewell. See you soon.

Sin más que agregar, me despido. Nos leemos pronto.

It's an amazing anime, very good post.

Thank you very much 😊

Congratulations, you have received support from Ecency through curator @reachdreams

Thank you very much 😊

You're welcome

Except for one or two epic scenes, it was pretty bland overall and I personally wouldn't recommend it.

What do you mean? It was a really good anime,I liked it🫠

I don't know, but I didn't like it. The story had a solid plot until episode 4-5 and then it went down. And other thing I didn't like and I didn't mention in the post was the censorship.

The series bored me a lot, it cost me to finish it and I only did it because I had a fetish to finish any anime I started no matter how much I didn't like it haha 😂 so, I agree with you on some point.

The Ova's was different, we saw a bit more of Alucard's true side, they were more entertaining than the series, even so, it's not an anime I would watch again haha 😂

I haven't seen the OVAs yet, but I've read that they are better than the anime. I'm gonna watch it later.

Personally, everything that has to do with Alucard and this universe will always catch my attention. Despite the years the animation seemed very top notch to me, these days I sometimes miss seeing more of this stuff. Very good anime.

As I said, I can't say anything bad about the animation. I think it is pretty decent for the year it was made. My critic is about the story. I felt it a little bit weak in its plot and they missed the opportunity to do something great with Seras.

I'm gonna watch Hellsing Ultimate soon to compare and maybe I'll make a review about it.

Also, I really liked Alucard. He was the best of this anime.
