Best fucking episode of Hellsing so far or the best fucking episode of Hellsing Ultimate so far?

Jesus fucking christ, it’s been almost two damn years since the last one (Dec 23, 2009) and finally the 8th one is out. Thank god the wait was vindicated. The Vatican invasion, Alucard finally returning, Enrico getting pwned, Alucard vs Hellsing, these are best fucking parts of the entire manga easily. I am glad that the OVA gave it justice and dammit, I fucking enjoyed every moment.

To top it off, they reused an old, awesome track from the TV OST for the ending this time. Shit, that hit the nostalgia button sooooo hard.

Now I just hope it won’t take another 2 years for the next volume. Seriously, HxH might end before this OVA does if it keeps at this.

Suddenly, the Hime x Hime ending has been triggered…. NOT!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL Miyuki Nakajima insert song segment finally. God damn it, Mio, what’s with the rule trolling habit.

Still, the temple segment was pure fucking gold. God sure trolled them hard.

And the Helvetica Standard segment at the beginning. That was really tripping balls.

EDIT: How did I forget the Igo Soccer match?! Goddamn it, I would watch that shit on TV!

It truly feels like Summer now. And this show didn’t even need to go to the beach to do it! Now all we need to complete the collection is the tanned bimbo blonde’s one.

Seriously, this show has great production values!

Oh yes!

Now that’s more like it, iM@S! This is what I wanted from the show after all! Some decent fanservice after the long slog at work really relieves the stress. It’s not like I don’t want to know each girl’s little traumatic past and/or their insecurities, it’s just I don’t want to deal with that shit after work!

*Ahem*, I digress. Yeah, this is probably the most enjoyable episode of iM@S for me so far in its run. If I had any complaints at all, it would be that the episode needed a little more Miki-service. I mean…

Oh yes!!

Is she really 1315?!! Also the way she handled those dudes that were hitting on her, lol. That was pretty win.

Ringo 1 – 0 Penguin Alien Queen

LOL, the penguin queen got owned by Ringo. Well, can’t say she wasn’t asking for it, calling her a stalker slut and even worse names. But dammit, I didn’t fucking expect that! Oh well, some beings need to get told eat humble pie sometimes.

Anyways, applause for Kanba’s manliness and sheer determination…

Seriously, he actually caught up to a truck and hung on to the hat for god knows how long, getting dragged on the road just to get it back. That was admittedly fucking manly of him. Also good job there, #1, for carrying a magic arm along. Still, I wonder where he got that pile of cash from. I certainly hope it’s “clean” as he says.

And evil Hocchan character with magical memory-erasure bullets. Show is getting more and more intriguing by the week.

I wish I was the one who was going to forget about today.

Dear god, Ruka is such a boring character. This episode could’ve been replaced with a skit of Hashida drooling at maids at May Queen and I would’ve found it better than this boredom. Aside from being the keeper of the IBN 5100, Ruka doesn’t contribute a single thing to the entire story.

The only thing that got me through this episode was sheer willpower and seeing Kurisu’s banter with Okabe about going on dates and stuff. Still, even that got a bit lame after a while. At least there’s only one more D-Mail to undo now.

Oh god, now we have potential fujoshi pairings too? How many markets is this show targeting?

Oh… fuck.

JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~

Yeah, to be honest, getting stared at while you’re working does get annoying, even if it’s Yune.

Can’t believe they managed to stretch this chapter for one whole episode, wasn’t bad, but it would be better off in the correct sequence as per the manga (this was chapter 2). Also, I can’t keep a straight face whenever Claude says the most valuable item in his shop is Yune’s safety. I know he’s not hitting on her, but still….

And I kinda missed Alice too. She spices up the show a lot.

Also, there was an airing of the special blu-ray episode 4.5 somewhere. Not sure if it was on TV, but the LQ raw was floating around. It’s a really great episode of Ikoku though, and they had Megumi Nakajima guest-starring as well. Not sure if it’ll get subbed, but true fans should try to grab that episode.
