Saw the 4 Hellsing Ultimates
« on: February 20, 2010, 10:07:40 AM »
Those are the only ones netflix has, but they are the only ones actually available to the US right?

Anyway from the 4 i saw i wish i could see the other ones,i do like the story set up better here than the anime all the blood though got on my nerves ;somtimes it just seemed overused.
Does the manga actually have an ending for the series?The anime just dropped off and Ultimate isnt available.

Im curious too...whats the purpose of the random cat character...i cant think of its name but that boy cat in the Millenium group? There are no other ''furry'' type chars in the anime and all of a sudden there he is. O.o To me its like putting a furry in Death note;it just doesnt make sense.

Random addition to the post ..my next netflix movie is ''Clockwork Orange'',my mom talked about the movie a long time ago but really only that it was wierd,and from anyone else that its just dimented. Anyone else see that one?

The manga has an ending, and you should read it if you liked Ultimate, because from what I've seen, it's almost exactly the same. And it is very different from the original anime.

Schrodinger is the kid with the ears. I thought he was a catboy too at first, but he's a werewolf.

I also have seen Clockwork Orange, it's very violent and weird, and I didn't like it that much. It just kinda seemed too random for me. Worth a watch though.

Okay the Hellsing Ultimates are still going on but due to copyright problems when geneon vanished, they're not being dubbed or released in the US at this time.

I'm a big Hellsing fan so I'm not too happy about the hiatus but there's little that can be done and no information is being given out.

If you want to see more of the Hellsing Ultimates, 5-7 should be available on YouTube, with 8 being released sometime this year. They're not dubbed and the sub quailty can't be judged but at least they'll keep you going until they fially get released into the US C:

Schrodinger is the name of the boy with the cat ears he does serve a purpose. In all simplicity, he's a catboy, not a werewolf. There's only one werewolf and that's the silent guy, Captain Hans. Of which you'll see more of when and if you continue on after OVA 4

I also reccommend you read the manga C: There's a lot of detail that OVAs 1-4 though covered, didn't fill in on completly.

Schrodinger is definitely a cat boy, and for good reason. He's based on the "Schrodinger's cat paradox" reflected by this ability to ignore reality (immortality, teleportation). Basically if he thinks he's somewhere or thinks he's alive then he is, especially if nobody is looking at him.

Not entirely, it's really just a matter of them not being licensed. Geneon still exists as a company in Japan and was one of the production companies involved in producing the series so the license is really theirs to do what they want with. Funimation picked up the distribution for the series, but doesn't seem to have licensed it outright. I think part of the problem with this getting a renewed license has to do with the voice acting. Fans of the dub aren't going to settle for a new cast, however the recording was done in California, while, for example, FUNi is located in Texas and only uses their in-house studio making flying in the cast extremely pricey.

This is probably also the reason why so many other titles that FUNi got from Geneon haven't had their sequels licensed (Hell Girl, Shana, Familiar of Zero, etc).
