Hellsing

Hellsing is by far one of my favorite (non-comedy) anime next to Death Note. Part of this is the simple fact that the vampires in Hellsing provide a nice contrast to the modern romantic vampire, which is nice, especially when Eclipse (the third film made out of the romantic, glitter ridden Twilight Saga) is about to come out. In a nutshell, Hellsing is about Seras Victoria, a young police officer who is turned into a vampire (sired?) by Alucard, a servant of the Hellsing Organization. Victoria then joins Hellsing in its quest for peace through destruction of evil vampires (and the occasional non-vampire). In Hellsing Ultimate (Hellsing's more grusome OVA), the story starts pretty much the same, but by the second episode or so, the story line has completely changed and there are neo-Nazis trying to take over the world. I personally like both Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate equally, although Hellsing is a bit easier to watch due to its shorter episodes.

Sorry about my excessive use of MegaVideo, it will be replaced when I can get the videos on a better player.
