Hellsing at the 'con

[aebliss]

So I went to the Animecon last weekend, Friday - Sunday (No, you wouldn't have heard of it, strictly a Dutch event. ^^ Nyah.), and they showed some episodes of Hellsing. Out of curiosity, I watched a bit.

Don't read on if you dislike criticism on Hellsing.

Well, I mentioned when I first arrived that the manga didn't really agree with me, didn't I? ^^; Let's just say that the anime showed me that:
1) The main characters can come across as even more murderous lunatics than when they're pictures in a tankubon, thanks to their seiyuu;
2) It's extremely funny for some reason to hear Anderson's seiyuu say 'Amen'. I wonder if all Japanese people pronounce it that way? ^^; Basically, it was just amusing to hear him speak English at all ...

TV series, I assume?

(People who don't like criticism on Hellsing should chill out.)

TV-Integral is generally calmer and more stoic than her manga counterpart. Alex's Japanese seiyuu brings the crazy, though.

I daresay you can't really compare each of the characters on most counts... seeing as they do face very different problems. Al, though, I think is quite a bit more murderous in the manga than the TV series, it was the sililoque about war being a gamble that did it there.
