Amazon.com As the OVA sequel to Hellsing continues, the Valentine Brothers, Jan and Luke, lead a ghoul-army in a no-holds-barred assault on Sir Integra Hellsing's stronghold. Arucard, Seras and Walter the Butler defeat the invaders amid buckets of blood. Who or what ordered the assault remains a mystery, but the trail may lead back to the Third Reich. The three-part Ultimate OVA offers even less plot and more violence than the original program: the filmmakers seem intent on setting a record for gore in an anime series. Characters are dismembered, bodies torn apart, eyes gouged, and corpses devoured. It all adds up to a nonstop slaughter-athon that would make the cast of Wicked City blanche. The Limited Edition two-disc set comes in a tin box with a disc of supplemental material that includes interviews, TV commercials, and production art. The accompanying book juxtaposes animation drawings with the corresponding frames from the finished show. So many extras for one 46-minute episode seems excessive, but Hellsing Ultimate is predicated on excess. (Rated 16 and older, but more appropriate for 18 and older: graphic violence, violence against women, sadism, grotesque imagery, tobacco use, cannibalism, profanity) --Charles Solomon
Product Description An unusual new breed of vampires terrorizes England while increasing at an alarming rate, making it impossible to conceal their presence from the public for much longer. Furthermore, the attacks seem organized, which makes the situation even more ominous. While Sir Integra reports her findings to the members of the Round Table, the Hellsing mansion gets blitzed by an army of indestructible ghouls led by the Valentine brothers, a vicious and hedonistic duo who claim to have all the vampiric powers of Arucard and beyond. Indeed, the night has only just begun...

The Return of the LUKE & JAN(YAN) May 15, 2007 Rhonda Sue Mitchell 11 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is the second LE edition of the hellsing OVA.Although the last one was off the entire volume 1 manga this one doesn't quiet copy the entire second volume of the manga(Although they make up for it in the third episode wich extends to the beging of the fourth manga.This episode last 46 minutes (43 not counting credits) and revolves around the attack on the integra's mansion by luke and jan.Packed fool of action and extra scenes not inculded in the manga this is even more bloodier than the first,but it feels like their could have been more added especially at the end wich leaves you wanting more.To anyone who loves hellsing or just those that like blood, action, and vampires this is a great buy and the limited edition version should be the choice you pick.Enjoy the bloodfiest of HELLSING.

Not really worth the cash June 25, 2007 Todd Hall (Kenosha, WI USA) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Though I love Hellsing I found that the Limited Edition of OVA 2 is not really worth the money. The extra DVD is probably the stupidest thing ever, its just the main guy from the English voice team or whatever and than the people who do the voices of Jan and Luke. They just laugh the whole time about nothing and its extremely boring. It made me lose respect for them. The art book is great though, its something a true Hellsing fan would appreciate. So OVA 2 is great, but I would suggest getting the regular edition. Unless your a diehard fan.
Great second episode! July 14, 2007 Michelle Lawhorn 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This OVA is kick a**! Jan Valentine provides much of the humor and awesomeness that has come to be expected with the Hellsing series, while Luke is the more focused and "sophisticated" of the pair. This is the first time we get to see Alucard unleash a fraction of his power, which is great! Seras is beginning to discover what a vampire is truly capable of, and Integra shows more emotion than she did in the first OVA, which is a good change for her (expect more anger and rage from her later in the series). The animation is superb, the script is well-written and provides fans with a more by-the-manga plot (since the original series deviated from the manga right after the Valentine brothers' assault on Hellsing), and the soundtrack, while not as good as that of the original series, is starting to grow on me. I think it really fits better than the original soundtrack would have on this OVA. The bonus features are also worth a look, especially the round-table discussion with the voices of Luke and Jan and the English casting director. Very interesting interview with those three! A must-have for fans of the manga and the original series!
Excellent OVA July 13, 2007 April R. Hoffman (Savannah, GA USA) I'm a big fan of Hellsing and I really like the OVA. It's so cool that they have the original cast and the animation is really good. If you like the manga you should definately watch this.
Great anime August 1, 2007 Robert S. Martin III (Clinton Ut) If you liked the original Hellsing, this anime will blow your socks off. They have improved on the series by leaps and bounds
