Heehee, watched some more earlier.  I kind of hate myself for enjoying Hellsing so much.  There's something about watching folks getting shishkabobbed.  And I actually do enjoy the vampire stories where they, you know, go eat people and ravish pretty women.  Almost want to reread Dracula for all the awesome.

Also, Integra is just... super-cool.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all.

My main complaint about the animoo is it ends before Seras turns ridiculously baddass.

She's still super cool.

Oh, also, I quite enjoyed the English dub.

Not in the show, she doesn't, but I trust that in the manga she will.

I find her cool because she has a super non-feminine design.  She doesn't look or act particularly like a man, but she's not overblown by feminine traits nearly as much as most female manga characters.  She rules with an iron fist, wears a military uniform, and looks like she's completely and utterly capable.  And she does this without a "butch" haircut.

That's... so unusual in manga/anime.  Or anywhere, really.

Should go read the mongoo, then?

The manga is worth it.
So, so very worth it.

I never really got a sense of the third point, which made the first one just seem like she was a bitch. She didn't seem like an especially noteworthy dresser either.

Of course, the correct answer to pretty much all her problems is "send Alucard after it," which I guess makes it hard to look competent. Seras may have suffered from that also, come to think of it.

Maybe not for you, but... man, I have read something like 90 manga series start to finish.  Integral Hellsing is a rare, rare diamond in the rough.  And also, it's the promise that she'll be able to take care of herself that I like.  I know that the anime is incomplete.  I don't have to see her doing anything in particular to know that, were something to happen, she would take care of it.

She's a hell of a lot better than most leaders of organizations I've seen in literature, too.  She may just be taking care of bureaucracy all day and not out there kicking ass, but... still, I think she's awesome.

EDIT: ... She also looks like a cross between Sephiroth and Pegasus, which I think is pretty nifty.

The manga has a nice alternative story. One of the things I like about it is how unique of an alternative it is. Almost everything is different, but at the same time, the same. It veers off course just well enough to tell another compelling story without going in a completely different direction.

It seems like Rebuild is going in a completely different direction though.
