I didn't mention "Alcucard", I mentionned Alucard, who isn't the son of Dracula at all, but merely his name spelled backwards. In Bram Stoker's legend, Dracula didn't have a son, they came up with that for Castlevania (if memory serves me right).
In Hellsing however it is hinted that Alucard himself is Dracula, but the old anime series (complete in 13 episodes with brilliant soundtrack) never confirmed or denied that. The new series however refers to him as "Count" once. Basically it's about this organisation in England called "Hellsing" which is led by Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing (who is, despite the "Sir", a woman) and they hunt all sorts of undead scum. Apart from extremely well-trained soldiers and blessed guns, they have Alucard and Seras Victoria (Victoria Seras?), a policewoman turned vampire, at their disposal.

He was probably referring to Van Hellsing but honestly I think he is just posts pointless crap to increase his post count.

One thing I hated about the old series is how they left everything unexplained and they didn't even show how Integera got Alacard until the very last episode. They also never told you that in order to become a vampire you must be a virgin. Anyone who didn't read the manga wouldn't understand that if your not you become a ghoul. Everything just sort of happened...this new Manga accurate series is what I've been waiting for...

I'll watch it again but in the first series I'm pretty sure they never explained that.
In The Manga Integera says it... Here's what was said in the Church in the first episode of the first series Victoria - Ghouls? Preist - They are the undead slaves of the vampire. When a vampire drinks a human's blood the corspe left behind will move under the vampires control. Of coruse vampires can't turn every human they drink from into one of their own. Then he goes on about how turning her into a ghoul being a waste and how her blood is sweet. Preist - You'll have to kill the girl to get to me and I don't think you can, plaything of the humans. Then he goes on more about them joining forces. Alacard - Police Girl Victoria - Yes? Alacard - I'm going to fire my gun now and the bullet will rip through your lungs before it hits the maggot vampire's heart. I know you don't want to die tonight. Do you want to come with me? I can't force you into this the descion has to made of your own free will, so make the choice. Victoria - Yes Then he fires...bascially nothing at all like the manga. Is this all that is out by the way? So far it seems their doing it like the Manga releases. Cause these episodes I saw were the first Manga. So I assume it goes in that order. I can't wait to see the rest... Last edited by Spitfire; 03-14-2006 at 08:20 PM. |
