Have you seen the English dub?

Everyone has a funny accent. Except for Alucard.

Seriously, the Germans have accents funny enough that it's hard to take them seriously.


I watched it all in dubs, yes, because even though I disliked some of the voices at first I came to consider them "normal" enough that it was hard to change to a subbed version. I think the only voice actor I never liked much in the series was Seras Victoria's, but she seems better in the OVAs.

And I actually like those German accents. They're kind of funny, yeah, but they're also quite authentic. And as for the voices themselves, not frightening enough maybe, but insane enough.

Also, I fucking love Alexander Anderson. He's such a cool character and his voice actor is top-notch.

I laughed when I first heard his voice because I never imagined him with an Irish accent before. n_u

Also, the crazy bitch with the musket is my favorite of the German voice actors.

I think his Irish accent is very fitting since he's a rabid Catholic. n_u

And yeah Rip Van Winkle was cool but she was pretty stupid to think that Alucard wouldn't come to kill her and it kind of annoyed me when she just suddenly started becoming all scared out of her mind.

Yeah, but I thought the music was so awesome that I just didn't mind it at all. n_u

Also, I can't find the fifth OVA in English. :[

I found it in Japanese and English subs, but I hate changing languages in the middle of something. :[

I know this thread is about animu, but I just finished the Hellsing manga.

Quite good. No idea why it took them 11 years to release 11 volumes, tho.

Also, holy shit apparently Alucard has killed about 3.5 million people. doodhuh;

Paranoia Agent...better than any Anime I've ever watched.

But...if that was an illusion...then I'm to confused as to how the big guy in the 2nd Episode faked his attack, the prostitute, the woman who had no home and had a pedofile as a father, the guy with the bat's suicide, and some others, but I can't think at the moment...

Uh, the series isn't meant to be taken literally. The whole series is meant to make a point. That point is that some people incorrectly look for a way out of their problems (which is Lil' Slugger), and how any phenomenon created by stress can be rapidly blown up by mass media and other factors. The anime reminds us that our worst lies can swallow us and that everyone can be caught in the crossfire. And, when we keep building on each other's lies and problems, they form something so terrible that only one thing can stop them: the truth.

Lil' Slugger was created as a way out when the original Maromi was killed. Lil' Slugger quickly became a way out for everyone who couldn't deal with their problems, and the lies mounted. Combined with the psychological "shield" of the false Maromi doll, Lil' Slugger formed the giant black mass at the end of the series, which only dissipated once the truth about Lil' Slugger was revealed, and suddenly everyone lost their quick way out.

So in other words, all those things really did happen. Lil' Slugger did attack them. But this is not a literal anime.

I thought it would be a literal anime. Anyway, I wonder just how many stuffed animals are based off of deaths of animals, or just memories that are just so harsh of them, it's kind of sick. Makes me think that I was playing with a dead dog in a costume when I was a kid. It's like when you finally realize that your stuffed animal, was really just pieces of cotton in an attempt to make it look like an animal.

Also, the giant black mass didn't dissipate when the truth of Lil' Slugger was revealed, but when Tsukiko Sagi actually accepted that it was her mistake, not some lie that she made. That, was when it finally dissipated. This is just my view, but your's is acceptable, too.
