Awesome ending to an incredible series
Hellsing is by far the most original and interesting anime I've seen. This DVD contains both the Japanese unedited and English dubs. Before you start thinking, "Ewwwww, the english dubs to any anime always stinks!!!", let me assure you that the voice actor for Arucard is played by Cripin Freeman and frankly, he did an excellent job portraying Arucard. Anyway, this volume comes with the last 4 episodes, of this 13 episode series. In episode 9, we see the history behind Integra and Arucard, how they met and why Integra is his master. The last three episode focuses on the destruction of the Hellsing organization by a master vampire named, Incognito, betrayal by the Knights of the Round TAble, Seras Victoria going ballistic with her Harconnon Cannon, blasting away every single freak chip vampire in her sights and Arucard/Incognito's final battle in the Tower of London. Arucard dies in the battle, or does he...and the audience is finally shown his true identity in the end. Wanna know who he is, you'll have to buy yourself a copy to find.

Last Dance... (4.5 stars)
Welcome to the Hellsing Organization; an army dedicated to keep the country safe from the undead. The group fights against vampires and ghouls of all sorts in the dark of night. Their ultimate weapon is a hunter that is a vampire himself, Alucard; an unstoppable figure that can face just about any sort of evil that the darkness has to offer him. Vampires and ghouls are not safe with this elite team of hunters and soldiers lurking about.

"Hellsing: Eternal Damnation" is the final volume in this series. Sadly, the journey ends, although it leaves room for another addition to come in the near future. As Sir Integra fights for her life in critical condition, her mind flashes back to the first time she met Alucard and how she became the leader of the Hellsing Organization. While it's still not clear what the exact relationship between Alucard and her father was truly based on, we are at least given another piece to the puzzle. Later on, an unspeakable and deadly trap is set, leaving the Hellsing group extremely vulnerable. Seras must get a grip on what she really is and find her true courage within herself if she wishes to live and continue the ongoing battle between them and the vampires, while Alucard faces the what seems to be an unstoppable foe, Incognito, for one last time. This is where things really get interesting, as the next few moments will ultimately decide the fate of the Hellsing Organization--and possibly the fate of humanity as well.

I'm sad that this journey ended so quickly, but am overall extremely pleased with how this series was conducted and executed. It's true that there's no concrete ending, but it leaves us with enough to not feel cheated or disappointed. There are loose ends, of course; however, these loose ends foreshadow the possibility of a second series to come in the future. The last episode really shows us just how effective and powerful Alucard truly is, while we get to finally see Seras' courage overcome her fears and weaknesses. And yes, we even get to see how strong Sir Integra really is when she is fighting for her life in the tenth episode.

This last chapter of the "Hellsing" series is just as dark and violent as the past volumes, if not more. Again, this is not a cartoon for children. These remaining four episodes contain graphic violence, blood and gore, strong language, adult situations, and dark and disturbing themes and imagery. Unlike the past three DVDs, this one contains four episodes instead of three; with the entire feature running at about 95 minutes long. Extras include a creditless ending, concept art, weapons gallery and more.

I found "Hellsing: Eternal Damnation" to be a satisfactory conclusion to this mesmerizing and dark series, even if the ending is not exactly concrete. I really do hope that another addition to this series is in the making, as I could see them doing great things with it. My overall thoughts on this series are extremely positive as I enjoyed every minute of the ride and regret nothing. The "Hellsing" series is remarkable proof of what anime is capable of producing. The journey into Hell and darkness has come to an end--for now...

the end....
I have seen this dvd a number of times and it is great. I have seen that some say it was a bad ending, if you knew about hellsing then you would know the ending is the way it is because it was cancelled half-way through making the series because it was not a big hit in Japan so it was cut. It was a pretty good ending that left a few loose ends but it was really entertaining and fun to watch over and over again, it is worth the money.
