And what's this about good guy Satan?

In the Blue Exorcist anime, they pull the empathy card on Satan. Heavily.

 

[BassForever]

So where did Alucard come from anyway?

And what's this about good guy Satan?

Go read Bram Stokers Dracula, then go watch Son of Dracula or play Castlevania Symphony of the Night

Then go watch Blue Exorcist anime, or don't because it's ending is garbage.

 

[Schadenfreude]

And so that was Hellsing. I'm gonna give the series an 8 out of 10. Great series throughout but that ending was kinda underwhelming considering how badass the rest of the series was. Still, can't say it wasn't enjoyable. Time for FMA: The Sacred Star of Milos

Produced by Wild Geese

Fun Fact: Geese are some violent bastards.

We had to sanction off part of our parking lot because some geese made a nest in it, and they couldn't be removed (was illegal).

Was funny watching the daddy chase people around.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

There are people out there that defend the "Arucard" spelling.
It's DracuLa not DracuRa. Learn English you weeaboo fuckheads.

Ls and Rs the bane of translating things from Japan

 

[BatDan]

You guys didn't know that he's always been Arucard in Japan? That's not even a "ha, they fucked up in the credits" thing. That's his official name.

The dubs changed it to an L.

Oh... ooooooh...
Oh Japan...

Something about they don't use the letter "L" very often & substitute it with R?

I have been attacked by a goose when I was going to ITT

So...Integra is Integral then?

Cool, thanks guys.

Also, metal detectors.

 

[Line_HTX]

Alright folks... I got my snacks ready.

Time for Honey-from-Space-Dandy voiced Sacred Star of Milos. WILL SHE SWALLOW THE STONE?

It's showtime!

More like Alucard was the son of dracula/dracula backward in the US long before Arucard was a concept in Japan.

 

[Man God]

Geese are JERKS.

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

TV-MA, eh?

 

[Korigama]

TV MA for FMA? Hm.

I think it's more down to pronunciation differences than the dub changing it. The dub is just accounting for those differences.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

the stream is acting up for me. i might just have to catch this on netflix

 

[Imperial Bishop]

He was always immortal hence the nazi plan to put him in an infinite loop, but that still didn't work and instead just made Alucard even more OP

I thought the explanation for his return was a cop-out.

 

[Zonic]

MA? Huh, pretty sure this is PG-13. Strange.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Is that Soul? MIcah Solusod, right?

 

[TheOGB]

Welp, I'm out. Hellsing Ultimate has thoroughly depleted my tolerance for anime fuckery, so I'm gonna pass on Weird Hair Alchemist the Movie.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I kinda want to watch for the animation

 

[MetatronM]

So...Integra is Integral then?

You know, I'm actually not sure how it's romanized in Japan. Her name is PRONOUNCED as "Integral" in Japanese, though.

 

[BatDan]

Don't really feel like FMA. Rather, I don't feel like staying up to 3 to watch a non-canon movie.
See you in the morning.

 

[BassForever]

I think it's more down to pronunciation differences than the dub changing it.

Or the simple fact Alucard is Dracula backwards which has been an English concept for many, many years before Japan started using it to make cool as fuck character. The Japanese changed it to Arucard because of their l/r shenanigans

 

[Doctor Decimate]

alright it's back

 

[Zonic]

OMG IT'S ATHENA FROM ACE ATTORNEY.

 

[Seda]

It said Integral in the credit artwork

 

[Man God]

Parents.

 

[Grexeno]

Amestris sure is a genocidy nation, isn't it.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Geese are JERKS.

Yes they are.

 

[Regiruler]

I know jackshit about FMA. Will that impact enjoyment?

 

[MetatronM]

It said Integral in the credit artwork

Did it? Then there you go.


EDIT: Also, I just realized I haven't been paying the slightest bit of attention to the first 5 minutes of this.

 

[B-Dubs]

Amestris sure is a genocidy nation, isn't it.

There's a reason for that.

 

[Crocodile]

Hellsing Ultimate FIN

• So Alucard was once human - how exactly did he become the alpha vampire?
• When and where did the Major meet/learn about Alucard to hate him to the point of making this plan?
• So Mina Harker was turned, drank Alucard's blood and then was turned back allowing her to die as a human but still have enough vampire juice in her for the Doc to replicate vampirism?
• Where did Schrodinger even come from? Another monster? A creation of the Doctor?
• Like what was the deal with Walter and his body?

So many unanswered or poorly answered questions. The Major's plan was super convoluted. The animation could have been better in some respects too. That being said, I did enjoy more parts of this OVA series than I hated or was annoyed by so I count this as a success. Certainly better than the original Hellsing TV show.

 

[daveo42]

That's a really good way to put down the population.

This is already boring. >.>

 

[Schadenfreude]

I really like Micah's voice

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Sounds like Brina Palencia.

 

[Mik317]

holy shit that scream sounded like it came from outside my house....

 

[grandjedi6]

EVERYONE MUST BE ORPHANS

 

[Zonic]

ALUCARD, ARE YOU DRINKING MORE BLOOD!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

So is this a story about this character ft FMA characters?

 

[Imperial Bishop]

WELP.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Welp, he's fucking dead. No wonder Micah was more than willing to spoil that on twitter.

 

[Raxus]

The female version of bad luck Brian.

 

[Grexeno]

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE WITH ULTRAVIOLENCE?

 

[BassForever]

Well this opening has been weird, but is still 1000x better then Shamballa as nobody has had a rocket arm

 

[Professor Lich]

Great sstory so far, EVERYONE IS DEAD.

 

[daveo42]

I know I should feel bad about laughing about that off-screen death, but I don't.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

yeah i'm out
