Publication and broadcast history
The manga series began in 1997, and is still being published monthly in Young King OURs magazine, in Japan. The English version of the manga is published by Dark Horse, the French version by Editions Tonkam, the German version by Planet Manga, the Spanish one by Norma, the Polish one by J.P. Fantastica and the Traditional Chinese version by Tong Li.
A 13 episode TV series was produced by Studio GONZO in 2001, though the story and characters were slightly different from the original manga. The anime series was broadcast on Fuji Television in Japan from October 10, 2001 to January 16, 2002 and in the US on Starz!'s Encore Action channel from October 4, 2003 to December 27, 2003. As of December, 2005, the TV series has been broadcast since August of the same year on Animax Latinoamerica; the Latin-American branch of the satellite TV network owned by Sony Corp. which offer programing consisting exclusively of Anime works. The first few episodes of the TV series were screened at the "The Future of the Toons" (anime) showcase at 2005 Future Film Festival in Italy (some of the other anime screened: FLCL, Wolf's Rain, and RahXephon).
A new OVA series is planned that will cover the original story of the manga. The OVA series is being produced by Geneon Entertainment, Inc. and the animation studio Satelight. "Hellsing I OVA DIGEST FOR FLEAKS" ("Fleaks" being an "Engrish" mis-translation of "Freaks"), which is a 30 minute-long sample version of Hellsing OVA I, aired on TV Kanagawa stations at 2:45 AM on January 22, 2006. The first episode of the Hellsing OVA was released on DVD in Japan on February 10, 2006. The episode is 50 minutes long. The first episode premiered in the U.S. at Anime Expo 2006 on July 2 and is scheduled for DVD release on December 5, 2006. Hellsing OVA II was released August 25th, 2006.
Hirano is also working on a prequel to Hellsing, entitled Hellsing: The Dawn. It is published at irregular intervals in special editions of Young King OURs.
Overview
Hellsing is unique in that it takes much of itself from late 19th century and early 20th century Western fiction. It includes themes primarily from H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu works and Bram Stoker's Dracula, rolled together with some fast-paced action sequences. The main characters are part of the Hellsing organization, which may have been inspired by the Lovecraftian Miskatonic University's Wilmarth Foundation, an organization formed for fighting demons and the undead. Cthulhu Mythos fans will appreciate the parallels. In addition, the name Hellsing is derived from Abraham van Helsing, and it has been indicated that the series takes place in the same continuity as the novel Dracula.
Additionally, the series is different from many other anime/manga in that it focuses more on close-quarter combat using exotic guns, similar to the style of heroic bloodshed, with lots of jumping and diving.
Studio GONZO drew the thirteen-episode anime series intensely stylized and matched with an extensive soundtrack, scored by Yasushi Ishii, which mixes rock, blues and jazz with experimental elements.
The manga, which currently spans seventy-six chapters, is vastly different from the anime in the themes presented and the atmosphere employed. There is little limit to the atrocities characters can commit in the story ranging from rape, mutilation, torture and cannibalism yet at the same time it delves heavily into strength of character, kindness and heroism. The artwork is unique and highly detailed; it is almost always quite bloody, featuring gore and dismemberment in a manner which, while grotesque, is often amusing. Hirano mostly works with thick outlines, highly detailed tone-work and inking; he also makes use of heavy shading, with large areas obscured by shadow. While initially this appears as a shortcut to drawing detail, it is mainly used as an effect to add drama or tension to a scene: in this manner, it is often accompanied by highly detailed artwork and usually focuses on the face; only in rare circumstances does Hirano actually seem to use it (in conjunction with the fact that most characters wear dark clothing) to skip any detail. Another unique feature is the use of 10 chapters per volume past Vol. 6, when the normal amount is 6 or 7-- each chapter is unusually short, being only 10 or more pages long; this could be a lack of motivation on the part of Hirano or an attempt to produce more detailed artwork over each chapter.
The story behind the manga breaks many stereotypes and clichés associated with traditional vampire stories in any medium. Some examples are the use of independent, strong female characters (most notably Integra Hellsing), the modernization of the outlook and opinions held by the vampires of the cast, and minor use of parody when compared to other vampire stories; it also features many hallmarks of traditional stories, such as making a distinct edge between the 'good' characters and the 'bad' characters, normally through having the antagonists being the direct moral opposites of the protagonists. For instance, Seras (one of the main protagonists and a female vampire) is portrayed as being unnaturally good-willed, tomboyish and erotophobic, whereas typical female vampires are very sexually active, amoral and very feminine.
The story begins as a mystery genre story with the main characters scrambling for answers portending a dark apocalypse and then develops into a unique war story which centers equally around the hardy soldiers who suffer and toil in the ditches and trenches of the battlefield to the mad leaders who revel in the bloodshed of the war. The story also presents several interesting and diverse philosophical themes and phrases riddled with possible alternate meanings. One of the most noted examples is the question, "Are you a dog, a man or a monster?" Alucard often raises this question as well as the concept of being 'Human'.
Hellsing draws on inspiration from dozens of different anime/manga/movies/novels/etc. Some are coincidental, while others are actually cited as sources of inspiration. One thing no one has agreed upon is the exact details of the "Vampire Lore" of the Hellsing universe which is a mixture of many different fictional portrayals including Stoker and Ricean vampires. This is made no easier by the introduction of artificial vampires.
The ongoing prequel to the manga series, entitled Hellsing: The Dawn, is set in September of 1944, in the midst of World War II. The story features Walter (then only 14 years old) and Alucard fighting Millennium in Warsaw, Poland. Because of its popularity, the importance of the story in relation to Hellsing, and the fact that some scenes from The Dawn were present in the OVA trailer, it is possible that The Dawn will be animated as part of the new OVA series. This is supported also by the appearance of Alucard, as he appears in The Dawn, at the end of the credits in the first episode. However, there has been no mention of The Dawn making an appearance in the OVA by either the creators or Hirano, so it remains to be seen.
Major characters
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
- Alucard
- The main protagonist. Alucard is the most powerful warrior of the Hellsing organization. He is not only a vampire, but also one of the most ancient ones, his original "life" dating back into the 1400's. If you spell his name backwards it becomes "Dracula". This is intentional, as he is, in fact, Count Dracula, the titular character of Bram Stoker's famous novel [1].
- Integra Hellsing
- Leader of the Hellsing organisation and Alucard's "Master", she is strong, intelligent, and beautiful. She inherited the Hellsing organisation at the age of 13 when her father died. Although she often seems strict and domineering, she is respected and admired, even among her sworn enemies.
- Seras Victoria
- Seras was a member of the D11 special forces unit, until being mortally wounded by Alucard's attempt to destroy a vampire masquerading as a priest. On the verge of death, with a hole the size of a canteloupe through her chest, she chose to allow Alucard to turn her into a vampire. Serving beneath Alucard, she now works for the Hellsing organization.
- Alexander Anderson
- A warrior priest or paladin who works for the Vatican Section XIII, Iscariot. Anderson is Iscariot's ultimate weapon in the fight against the undead. With regenerative capabilities, and a variety of holy weapons (including his signature blessed bayonets, of which he has many) his mission is nothing less than the complete destruction of all the demons of Hell. As this includes many of Hellsing's subordinates, Anderson is one of Alucard's greatest foes.
- The Major/SS-Sturmbannführer Montana Max
- A former SS officer, once in charge of the Nazi experiments with vampires, until the operation was destroyed by a young Walter and Alucard in 1944. Now he's back to exact revenge and start an endless war.
Secondary characters
- Walter C. Dornez
- Walter is a 69 year old retired member of the Hellsing organisation. Though now serving as Integra Hellsing's butler, he still has proved the capacity to live up to his nickname "The Angel of Death" with deadly razor sharp wires. He has a close friendship with both Integra and Alucard.
- Enrico Maxwell
- Enrico Maxwell is the overzealous religious leader of the Iscariot Organization (Vatican Section XIII).
- Captain Pip Bernadotte
- Captain Pip Bernadotte is the leader of the Wild Geese, a group of mercenaries hired by Hellsing.
- Millennium Members
- To see bios of each Millennium member, including the Major, Doctor, Schrödinger, Captain, Rip, Zorin, Tubalcain, Luke, and Jan, see Millennium.
- Heinkel Wolfe and Yumie Takagi
- Heinkel Wolfe is a pistol wielding assassin for the Iscariot organization who partners with Yumie, a Japanese nun with a split personality. They act as bodyguards for Maxwell in Hellsing volumes 4 to 5 and are later seen among the brigade of Catholic priests sent to apprehend Integra under Father Anderson's leadership.
Characters Only In TV Series
The TV counterpart of Hellsing made by GONZO Entertainment is also very popular, though fans of the manga are often disappointed that the TV series deviated from the manga and a deteriorating standard of animation towards the end of the series. Its defenders point out that it contains more background and character development than the corresponding manga chapters. The following characters are featured only in the TV series.
- Kim
- A news reporter saved in Episode 2 from vampires, she tries to prove afterwards that vampires exist to the general public. One such feat was watching a snuff film being recorded in which a vampire would attack a man who clearly had no idea what is going on. When Alucard ends the recording and Integra arrives Kim states that as a reporter she has an obligation to tell the world, showing no guilt because she wasn't the one who made the arrangements. Owing to the nature of what she has done, Integra states that her crime is beyond human law, and authorises Alucard to drink her blood.
- Harry Anders
- An MI-5 Agent who apparently cooperates with Kim and is involved in the Hellsing exposure affair. Anders investigates the 'freak chips' and questions Helena, taking Seras along with him for protection. He is killed during an explosion of his car, the circumstances of which are unexplained. It is to be noted that Anders had been acquainted with Seras' father.
- Helena
- A young-looking vampire that spends her time reading and listening to "Solveigs Song" by Grieg. She appears to live alone in a dark old house. Despite her young appearance, she is quite old and becomes something of a role-model for Seras. Helena is eaten by Incognito, though she continues to live for a short time afterward, even after being beheaded.
- Bubbancy
- A baobhan sith who infiltrated Hellsing HQ and tried to turn Integra into a ghoul. Apparently possessing great hypnotic powers, she got in without suspicion by mentally convincing everyone (except Alucard and Seras) that she was Integra's sister "Laura". In what is widely considered the most risqué scene in the series, she paralyzes, partially undresses, and bites Integra on her breast. She then stabs Integra in the stomach with a knife to begin drinking her blood, but is then dispatched by Alucard, who'd been distracted by Incognito.
- The text of the English dub is somewhat confusing, probably due to nonrecognition of the term "baobhan sith" (especially when rendered by a Japanese speaker). The original script is clearer: Bubbancy took the name Laura from the novel Carmilla (which, like Dracula, may be close to the truth in the history of the Hellsing world), but Integra also addresses her as a baobhan sith. As her real name has never been given (she is referred to as "Laura" in the credits), fans often refer to her as Bubbancy, a phonetic approximation of "baobhan sith" (pronounced "baa'-van shee") as filtered through Japanese. It has also been argued that, like Alucard and Incognito, Bubbancy may have been inspired by another famous fictional vampire, Carmilla, who was particular towards seducing other women, and preyed upon a girl called Laura.
- Incognito
- This masochistic vampire is from the "the dark continent," a reference to Africa. Though physically androgynous, he is generally thought to be male. Extremely powerful, he combines dark magic with an enchanted ArmsCor 40 mm Grenade Launcher that fires dark, spherical curses at his opponents (as well as having a minigun as a backup). During the final plot arc of the anime he summons a snake-like being referred to as Set (presumably the Egyptian god of evil, and possibly a homage to the fictional Marvel Universe villain, though they do share some characteristics) and takes it into his body in order to use it's power to attack Alucard. Incognito has regenerative powers which seem to be related to the purple stripes and sigils covering his body. It has also been argued that, while Alucard may be inspired by, or is Count Dracula, that Incognito may have been inspired by the vampire Count Orlok, from the 1922 silent movie Nosferatu.
- Incognito is often seen by fans as one of the mistakes made by Studio GONZO. He does not appear in the manga, which had not been completed when the TV series was produced. Like those of Bubbancy and Paul Wilson, some fans believe that his appearance is disruptive and poorly explained, as well as most fans prefer to label him as your traditional "Mary Sue" Character, considering his unlimited and unexplained power, as well as complete and utter lack of faults (though some may argue that his total overconfidence is his downfall.) As a result of this, his death is a resounding humiliation on his part.
Other Differences Between TV Series And Manga
- The primary difference is the change in plot. In the manga, the plot is driven by the Iscariot and Millennium organisations. However in the TV series, the Iscariot organisation is not seen beyond episode 7 (with a brief appearance of Anderson in episode 13), appearing in only two episodes, and they do not contribute further to the story. Also of note is that Millennium is never actually seen in the TV series, with only a couple of clues as to its existence in the background (one being the freak chip which is shaped like the eagle with the Swastika in the middle), and the other being a preview trailer where the Major, Captain, and Doctor appear covered in shadow, much like they initially did in the manga. Instead of these driving forces, the story is furthered by a vampire called Incognito, who it is hinted is controlled by Millennium in the same way Hellsing controls Alucard. Some fans have criticized these changes for being poorly thought out, while others disagree.
- In the manga, Hellsing resembles a Men In Black style organisation that uses special agents such as Alucard and Walter to hunt down enemy forces. However, in the TV series, Hellsing instead utilises paramilitary armed forces, normal human soldiers doing most of the work while Alucard and company work in support.
- The Wild Geese technically don't exist in the TV series. While Hellsing does use mercenaries in the series, their name is not revealed, little screen time is spent on them, and beyond episode 7-8 they don't appear as mercenaries but instead as normal Hellsing soldiers in gear and uniform. As such, there is no relationship between Bernadotte and Seras, since in the TV series, he does not exist. This instead seems to be replaced with the relationship between Seras and her commanding officer.
- In the anime, Seras never receives the transformation to her powers and body she does in the manga where she drinks Bernadotte's blood.
- Alexander Anderson does not appear to possess the same power he does in the manga. In episode 3, Alucard is easily able to dodge his bayonets, while in the manga in a similar encounter Alucard struggles against him.
Organizations
Royal Order of Protestant Knights, Hellsing
The Hellsing organization (formal name the Royal Order of Protestant Knights) is the central focus of Hellsing's plot. In Hellsing's universe the organization is an integral part of the true power-structure of Great Britain, which is in fact still ruled by a hidden aristocracy and the monarchy. The organization is tasked with defending the country's shores from any and all supernatural threats.
Millennium
A mysterious group of Nazis that has been hiding in Brazil ever since the end of World War II. They are the organization behind the elusive FREAK chips. (Note: FREAK chips were only seen in the anime. In the manga, the chips were implanted to study each artificial vampire and its surroundings. They defined the vampire's status, behavior, intent, and aggression. They were also used to destroy the vampire remotely from Millennium's base. The means of actually making artificial vampires in the manga remain a mystery.)
Iscariot (Vatican Section XIII)
The Iscariot Organization, named after Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus, is a top-secret wing of the Vatican charged with the active pursuit and extermination of demons (such as vampires) and heretics. Given that the Hellsing Organization not only employs vampires but is run on the principles of staunch Protestantism, Iscariot is their natural rival, despite their similar aims.
The Wild Geese
The Geese are a group of mercenaries boasting around 80 members, led by their captain, Pip Bernadotte. They seem to be international, having performed their last operation in Uganda where Pip lost his eye, back in 1994. It is not known how old this group is as it is not stated if Pip or one of his ancestors founded them. Its members are of mixed ethnicity, age, and background and recognize Pip as their leader. They are described as professionals by Walter, but, overall, are no more effective against vampires than any other 'human' soldier has demonstrated thus far. In other words, they are nearly useless, especially when in close-combat. Pip himself plainly states that they are useless in a "close fight," which is why he set a minefield, and a defensive perimeter, which proved remarkably effective, until they were tricked by Zorin's illusion. In volume 7 Pip is killed by Zorin while attempting to save Seras.
(Note: The term human is used rather loosely in Hellsing, but appears to indicate beings who do not have the comfort of eternal life/youth. The Captain, though not a vampire, is a werewolf, and, as such, is eternally youthful. This means that he is a non-human. Humans in the Hellsing universe can have any number of superhuman powers and still merit this title, as is clearly demonstrated by Anderson and Walter. In the case, of the Wild Geese, they certainly do not possess any supernatural powers.)
The Convention of Twelve
In addition to the Queen, Hellsing also answers to the Convention of Twelve. The Convention of Twelve, called the Round Table Conference in the English anime, is a secret society of knights (members of the Parliament, military leaders, and other prominent people from the nobility) who manipulate England from the shadows, almost like the Illuminati. It is an organization shaped like the Round Table of old, swearing loyalty to the royal regent of the former British Empire. While the medieval Knights of the Round Table occupied seats around an actual round table (to symbolize unity and equality), the modern Knights sit around a long, rectangular table, at which Integra and Sir Hugh Islands (Irons in Dark Horse's translation) occupy the head seats. This is, perhaps, intentional. Integra may be the Convention's newest and youngest member, but she is by no means the weakest. In fact, she is easily the strongest member, along with Sir Islands. In the OVA series, however, the table is depicted as being round (ovular), thus making any official "ranking system" difficult to determine.
Whether or not Abraham van Helsing, as the founder of the Hellsing Organization, was included among the ranks of the knights is unknown. Therefore, Integra's only known predecessor is Arthur Hellsing, her father, who seemed to act as the former 'leader' of the Convention, possibly passing the charge to his friend Islands and his own daughter. It's a possibility that Richard Hellsing sought Integra's position as Bureau Director of Hellsing in order to become a member of the Round Table, rather than to actually lead the vampire hunting organization.
Sir Shelby M. Penwood is another important member. He is in charge of the media in the anime and of naval security in the manga.
Spoilers end here.
Allusions to other works
Hellsing makes numerous references to a diverse body of sources and people which include but are not limited to:
- European vampire folklore
- Dracula (of which Hellsing is sometimes considered a sequel by fans. Some argue that Hellsing follows Francis Ford Coppola's movie version rather than the Bram Stoker novel due to its reference to Dracula coming to England to pursue the woman of his dreams, a theme only used on the Coppola film.)
- The Cthulhu Mythos (Integra's second name Wingates is taken from H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow out of Time, and the protoplasmic appearance of vampires closely resembles that of a Shoggoth. In Book 4, one picture of Alucard is remarkably similar to the classic Lovecraftian image of Nyarlathotep, in his Bloody Tongue form.)
- As above, Hellsing's vampires display many similarities to those of Brian Lumley's Necroscope series.
- Dune (novel) (Seras Victoria's gun is named after Vladimir Harkonnen, he also shows up in person in episode previews. The version of Vladimir Harkonnen that is seen, is based on the Dune (film), as evidenced by the presence of Sting.)
- The Jackal (One of Alucard's guns, shares the name with the criminal portrayed by Bruce Willis) in the film with the same name. Day of the Jackal, which The Jackal is based on, is also mentioned. Willis himself appears in a comedic dream sequence affirming the connection, babbling apparent nonsense related to the Die Hard Trilogy as well as Day of the Jackal.)
- The works of W. Somerset Maugham (Walter C. Dornez is shown to be reading The Moon and Sixpence)
- The Wild Geese movies
- Mint Royale
- Fullmetal Alchemist (In one manga omake, the Major is cosplaying Edward Elric.)
- Be-bop High School (A manga omake for Vol. 3 is titled Be-Bop Hellsing with Alucard, Anderson, Integra and Seras cosplaying as Be-bop High School characters.)
- Trigun (In the anime and the beginning of the manga, Alucard bears a resemblance to Vash the Stampede in terms of style and facially resembles Legato Bluesummers; in the volume 6, page 126 of the manga, Zorin Blitz's tattoos say Trigun Maximum in one panel.)
- The Gungrave series (Zorin's tattoos say Gungrave in one panel, volume 6, page 126). Yasuhiro Nightow is a friend and colleague of Hirano and it is believed that the name Millennion in Gungrave, is an in-joke reference to Millennium in Hellsing.
- in volume 6, page 126 of the manga Zorin Blitz's tattoos say Band of Brothers, Mission Impossible, Trigun Maximum, Gungrave, Excel Saga, and Comic Master in the bottom panel.
- Erwin Schrödinger (The character Schrödinger can be everywhere at once and is neither alive nor dead, much like Schrödinger's cat.)
- Der Freischütz by Carl Maria von Weber (Rip van Winkle compares herself and Alucard to Kaspar and Samiel, respectively; much of Rip van Winkle's dialogue is taken straight from the opera, and part of Alucard's line "Es Sei! Bei den Pforten der Hölle!" is an exact quote of Samiel. Rip's magical musket balls are a reference to the opera as well.)
- Rip van Winkle by Washington Irving
- Computer games such as Age of Empires, Final Fantasy, Murder Club, Master of Monsters, Dead Zone, Soldier of Fortune, Balance of Power, Hearts of Iron, Civilization: Call To Power, Might and Magic, Aubird Force, Gun Bullet, Ogre Battle, Hundred Swords, Balloon Fight, Psyoblade, Elevator Action, Wizardry, Ultima Online, Call of Duty: Finest Hour and Castlevania as chapter names (The latter also containing a vampire character named Alucard, who is the son of Dracula as opposed to Dracula himself.) When Integra awakens Alucard, his appearance is also very similar to Alucard in Symphony of the Night, who had awaken from hibernation too.
- In Hellsing II, Jan Valentine makes a reference to the Konami code while shooting Hellsing guards.
- The Gundam Series (in the form of some uniforms and with Seras Victoria's Harkonnen 2 Vladimir resembleing GP 03 from 0083)
- Xenogears (a possible reference; character Bartholomew Fatima bears a striking resemble to Pip Bernadotte)
- The Christian Bible
- Greek Mythology (namely the Bird of Hermes)
- The Ripley Scroll, an alchemical text (a portion of it is engraved on Alucard's coffin; Alucard also recites it at one point in the manga. The excerpt in question is as follows: "The Bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame")
- The Keep by F. Paul Wilson. In episode 11 of the anime, a reference is made to a castle in Transylvania in WWII and the Devil that lives there. Also, this episode has a character named Paul Wilson.
- Full Metal Jacket: In the Manga volume 3 Seras complains to Walter about sexual harassment from the Mercenary as he quoted Sgt. Hartman's running cadence "I don't know what I've been told; Eskimo pussy is mighty cold". On that same panel the artist humorously draws Joker and Private Pyle/Leonard holding a jelly doughnut.
- Tiny Toon Adventures the cartoon series lends one of its character's names to Major Montana Max.
- Aphex Twin (His name and likeness appear as graffiti on a wall in the frontpiece for Balance of Power (1) in volume 2)
- One Piece: similar themes and ideas are present in both, possible character inspirations as well, Hirano lists it as one of his favourite manga and anime.
- Star Wars (Han Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon is mentioned by Walter while discussing the Millennium group.)
- Trigun: Vash shows up as the 2nd most popular character in a "populaity poll" done by Luke in volume 7.
- Legend of Galactic Heroes: this space epic anime is featured in the omake of volume 6, with Jan Valentine cosplaying as Yang Wen-Li. It is also on the volume's spoof cover, with Alucard being the Imperial flagship.
- Under Siege: as well as being mentioned in passing the artist notes, the movie's plot (involving the hijacking of a military ship, with complicity from its 2i/c, the crew being locked in the hold and a helicopter carrying a commando rescue team) is remarkably similar to that of Book 5.
