Took me a few seconds to realize that the email (informing me about the release and asking this blog to spread the word) was from Geneon’s advertising company rather than their legal team. Phew. So this is a bit of an advertisement post though I’m not getting anything in return for it. Only because it was nice that they asked so nicely and that I’m favourably disposed towards buying this series in the first place (thinpak boxset please!). Also kudoes for Geneon getting Hellsing Ultimate released relatively quickly and with some goodies with the limited edition release. One thing I don’t quite understand is why “Alucard” has been changed to “Arucard” in the Geneon version streaming video on the Hellsing Ultimate website. Doesn’t this deviate from a plot point made in manga Vol.7?
… Arucard is really weird. Alucard ist a well know name in relation with vampires after all oO;

Ain’t it one and the same? :/ r or l… same thing in Japanese… (note that I have not read much of the manga)
kacpy, it’s just that Arucard doesn’t spell backwards as nicely. And it’s not just a contrivance. The latter half of Vol.6 parallels a part of Bram Stoker’s novel and Vol.7 makes the link (or at least the linkage) explicit.
