In retrospect, I like Hellsing better than some of its inspirations such as Trigun and Jojo.

Kouta Hirano really is a genius when it comes to coolness (pose, fighting style weapon, knowledge to be "cool") that other authors lack, the dude is a genuine war nerd.

Only thing I am getting tired of is his fetish for the Catholic Church.

>the dude is a genuine war nerd.

Drifters showed that while he probably thinks this himself too, he isn't actually one. He falls into the classic trap of presenting very basic tactics and strategy as revolutionary and/or war-winning when it wouldn't be, and some of his ideas just make no sense at all. It was less noticable in Hellsing, since it actually didn't deal with anything like that, but Drifters presented thoose aspects of the show pretty seriously.


 No.834555

Jojo went bad when stands started to appear, so it's not comparable. Honestly, I like the Hellsing manga, but the guy draws strangely (the legs are extra long, for example).

But yeah, he knows what is cool.

>>834511

Honestly, it's better than 90% of anime tactics though.

Archer behind to harass, spearman to hold enemy, while sending shock troops to destroy enemy is basic, but genuine good formations.

>>834506

I didn't think it was noticeable in both Hellsing and DRIFTERS?

If anything, the dude thinks nazis are cool as hell, and as evidences by DRIFTERS, Hitler is presented as a hero who unites human against sub-humans (dwarfs, elves).

What exactly did JoJo inspire from Hellsing?

By the time Hellsing first appeared in 1997, JoJo was already at Part 5, or are you saying Puci is inspired from Hellsing?

He said that Hellsing got inspiration from Trigun and JoJo, no the other way around.

I thought Trigun had a better protagonist in Vash. Plus Monev the Gale had a badass design.

The problem is that his style is incredibly unique and as far as the adaptations of his works go, no director has had the talents and/or productive freedom (i.e. budget) to bring them to life and do them justice.

ULTIMATE was the biggest offender when it came to this, the fights were incredibly inconsistent and while some worked really well (Seras vs the SS troopers and Zoris in that hallway is still the fucking shit), most of them exhibit a rather awkward flow and pacing, something that very noticeably got worse in the last OVAs (Seras vs whatever-his-name-was werewolf was plain fucking awful, for example).

Maybe it stems for Hirano's heavy usage of, as you described, "cool" angles, poses and taunts that are hard to give a proper flow to when outside a frame-by-frame (manga) environment.

Major backstory was top tier.

Among edgy anime hellsing is top tier. And in general quality is good. So if you are into that stuff or have an edgy streak its for you, no doubt.

Drifters are more general (whatever the term) amine for men with main theme being "lets put awesome stuff you like and do it in high quality, who cares about plot and other bullshit!". Its analogue of Doom for anime in that regard. And soundtrack, yeah.

Too bad he undercuts everything right he does with a major blunder in another area. The original Hellsing TV series was inspired and had all the craft and wisdom to shore up all Hirano's autistic shortcomings and make something really special. Unfortunately, it had no budget.

While the lyrics are oddly fitting, this song really doesn't suit the show at all. It gives me nostalgia for the 90s, even though I don't recall hearing it before watching Hellsing.

I am a big fan of Hirano. Aesthetically, he is definitely one of my favorites. His characters always look amazing, and he can make even the most brutal shit in the world look more attractive than it should. I read Drifters, even though Hirano is painfully slow, and I expect it to surpass Hellsing, since I like it so much conceptually. There is a lot more going on. Hellsing was actually much simpler.

>>834928

Amazing opening. It remember downloading it in the early 2000s, from some website that I found on AltaVista or whatever at some point, and I quickly got addicted to it. Then again, the entire soundtrack is awesome and the old Hellsing anime is really underrated. If people want to watch Hellsing, they should watch both versions. Really, if there is an old version of something, go back to it. It's almost always worth it. The fact that it's different just makes it better, because it's more Hellsing, but different.

I love how he basically just took every porn character he made and shoved them into Hellsing, which was also originally porn. Also the Majors original name was Max Montana of all things.
