All right, now that I am back from that short hiatus that I was unofficially on for the past month, I can start getting back into the swing of things with my reviews. This time, I went back to an older anime (or at least older in my mind), way back in the olden days of 2001. The anime today is Hellsing the anime version. Hellsing was originally made as a manga in 1997 and then they made an anime adaptation in 2003. They also have been making an OAV version with a few different episodes called Hellsing Ultimate. Being an OAV they can make the episodes as long as they want to allowing them to go into as much detail in the show as they need. Hellsing Ultimate is releasing its final episode here in a few months and at some point I may check the series out. However, this review is not about that, instead its about the anime TV series with the standard 24 min run time per episode. With only 13 episodes in the one season it had, it isn't a long series by any means and didn't have a lot of time to build a story with it.
The series is made by Gonzo, who has since the making of this series is known for anime such as Full Metal Panic!, Samurai 7, and Afro Samurai. It was then a few years later released in the English dub by Geneon Entertainment and shown in America on Starz! in 2003. The opening theme used for the show is "Lokos Naki World" (A World With No Logic) by Yasushi Ishii. So, here is my review of Hellsing.
So let's finish off the series called Shakugan no Shana. The third and final series is known as Shakugan no Shana III or Final. Released in 2011, it completed the series that had been going on for two seasons prior. Like the last season, it had two openings, "Light my Fire" by KOTOKO and "Serment" by Mami Kawadi. I can say right now that this was definitely the better of all three seasons, so lets get into Shakugan no Shana Final!
