Recent additions to the site:
July 9, 2008
I have two fresh items up on the News Page. FUNimation has picked up the North American distribution rights for the Hellsing OVA, and Hellsing OVA 5 has
a release date of 916/08.
June 1, 2008
The Hellsing OVA series is still not licensed in North America. Good Grief, guys, it's
been eight months now. I wish I had exciting news, but the people who know more than I do are still saying that
they don't know anything yet. If you'd like to read the latest speculation, please check the News page!
February 22, 2008--Hellsing OVA 4 is out!
February 03, 2008--New Hellsing OVA 4 art!
The latest issue of Young King OURs includes fresh artwork from OVA 4!
Go to the Hellsing OVA 4 page for a look at Heinkel, The Major, and Rip Van Winkle!
January 20, 2008--Geneon USA Questions and Answers!
What's happened to Geneon USA? What does it mean for Hellsing fans?
I've tried to clear things up on this new page.
January 5, 2008--Updated summary for Hellsing Volume 9.
There's a lot of plot movement in that volume! My first draft was 2 1/2
pages, and my edited version is still a bit long.
Oh, and has everyone recovered from Chapter 89?
December 12, 2007--New scans up for Volume 10!
I've added a new page for Volume 10 of the Hellsing
manga, and posted samples of the artwork. You can see them here!
October 6, 2007--Alarming news for American Hellsing fans.
May 1, 2007--Ah. Now the excitement has
died down, and I'm back to doing site maintenance and answering email. But at the height of the OVA 3 frenzy, Crossroad
got 1,176 visitors in one day! Considering that most of you are in the United States, that shows how many Hellsing fans keep
tabs on release dates in Japan.
I've added new material to the Hellsing Manga section. I have finished the section for Volume Eight, adding a new summary and cleaner scans. I've also begun a section for Volume Nine, though these chapters haven't been collected into book form yet--in fact, there are
more chapters coming. If you haven't read volumes 8 or 9 yet, beware; these sections have spoilers.
(I had a hard time writing the summary for Volume Eight, and if you've
read 8, you probably know why. There's so much, and so much of it is so sad.)
April 4, 2007--I thought it was about time I put up
a section for The Dawn, a manga prequel to the Hellsing series. This new section has about 20 screenshots and a short overview of the series. If you'd like to know
why Hellsing fought with Millennium--or if you just want to see the rumored "Girlycard"--check it out!
March 28, 2007--The trailer is out for Hellsing OVA 3! I offer you
three choices: (1) a link to the Hellsing Website's streaming trailer, (2) an easy-access YouTube trailer, or (3) a 5 MB download!
Get it, watch it! It's beautiful!
March 22, 2007--Spardadt at Hellsing Livejournal found
ten new OVA 3 screenshots. (5-1-2007 Note: These screenshots have been removed; I have many new screenshots
on the OVA 3 Screenshot page now!) Hellsing fans are excited to see that Geneon is going to animate the
Volume 2 'museum scene', and include the Harkonnen spirit from Seras' weird and amusing dream!
March 15, 2007--I have added pictures of the
manga covers to every page dealing with the Hellsing manga. This was a long time coming; I was unable to get them onto the
page because of some peculiarity in the code. I had to redo all the pages. I apologize to anyone who has bookmarked them--whatever
URL you had, it isn't valid anymore. Please take note of the new pages and new design, though!
In addition, the Japanese Hellsing Website has
animation scenes from the upcoming OVA 3. Some have noticed that the characters in these scenes are speaking through
comic-style word balloons.
Those who read Japanese know the joke already--but
if you don't, Xaphirest and his friend Aurian have provided a translation.
February 28, 2007-- OKAY! THERE'S A RELEASE DATE FOR HELLSING OVA 3!
It looks like the new date is April 4, 2007.
I got the date from Demon Rin, who spotted the new dates at CD Japan and Amazon.co.jp. However, there is still no update or trailer at the official Hellsing OVA
website. Stay tuned!
February 25, 2007--I added the samples from Volume
Eight. The summary will take a little while longer--so much happens in this volume. But you can look at the artwork here. (If you haven't read Volume 8 yet--i caution you,
there are spoilers!)
There is still no news about Hellsing OVA 3's release date, and the suspense
is killing me.
This site is now up to 450 visitors per day. Thank you all for stopping
by! I hope I have some OVA 3 news for you soon!
Geneon still hasn't given a new release date for Hellsing OVA 3. When they
release the new date, I'll report it here as soon as I can! I'd like to thank you all for the interesting letters you've written;
it's wonderful to hear from people who love this series as much as I do.
January 24, 2007--OVA 3 was suposed to come
out on February 9 in Japan. Unfortunately, it has been delayed. According to Geneon, the episode is finished, but the figurine
that it ships with is not ready yet. The figurine is a 'stand-up' of Alexander
Anderson which has been under production for several months.
December 17, 2006--Some OVA 3 promotional art has been found. Seras Victoria may be the new cover girl!
December 10, 2006--Google Analytics provides me with hit counts
and page views for this site, as well as other interesting things. 
One of those little yellow dots--or slightly larger yellow dots--is you. (Hi there!)
There are lots of fans in Seattle, Tampa and Moscow, Reykjavik, Krasnoyarsk,
Ylipää, Taipei. This site is receiving almost 200 visitors a day now. Hello, hello, hello to you all!
December 5, 2006--OVA 1 is now available in North America!
And I have added art samples from Hellsing manga volume 6 to the site.
December 2, 2006--I've added two OVA 2 reviews to the OVA Reviews section. I've also reorganized the Trailers and Clips page so the newest material is at the top. The new OVA 1 English-language dub trailer is there--check it
out!
November 29, 2006--I've put up more art on the OVA 1 Info and OVA 2 Info pages. Please scroll down to the bottom of each page to see the new DVD art, Limited Edition relief figurine, and various
box insert sketches. They're really lovely.
November 24, 2006--I've
added a lot of material to the Hellsing Manga section. I now have a page each for Hellsing Volumes 1 through 5, each page with a short,
perhaps spoilery summary, and somewhere between 10 and 14 art samples for each volume.
If you've read each manga at least a dozen times, this is just a refresher
course. If you have not read the Hellsing manga yet, take note!
These scenes may occur in OVAs yet to come!
I will add Volumes 6 and up ASAP.
