Hellsing

Well i have seen Hellsing and yes there is something in it that can be bad, if you are weak Sorry.
But for me i too have experienst some spiritual bad stuff, but I think those thing affect person in different ways.

Well one thing is that there is too many petagrams in it, you cant use evil to fight evil that is what i think.

I haven't seen but only the first episode of the series, so I don't know much about that, but the manga is one of my favorites. Obviously, themes about vampires, Nazis, Protestant/Catholic tensions (even in the sense that there are special units within each carrying out various types of "righteous vengeance", for lack of a better word, that can get absolutely horrific, and similar ideas are really up to each person as to how comfortable or uncomfortable are with it. I personally love the series, and don't find a problem with it. Although at first I was a bit uncomfortable about the pentagram.

I've noticed that the Japanese sense of the pentagram is a bit skewed, to say the least (although apparently that sign does appear on several European cathedrals, but I've never seen pictures so I can't really say much more about that - it seems as though it didn't always denote evil, but I had always thought that was the pentangle, not the pentagram). It might be stricter adherence to any sort of "traditional" usage of the sign, but then again it might not. Or it may very well be in there for flavoring and not any sort of deeper meaning, such as the Judeo-Christian imagery in Evangelion.

It all depends, I guess. The plot (at least for the manga) is very involved, and from what I've read about the series (and inferred from the first episode and countless AMVs I've seen), the series focuses on Seras' adjustment to being a vampire and not wanting to lose her humanity, where the manga is more comedic/less serious and almost entirely focused on Alucard and the political themes concerning the Nazis and the tensions between the Hellsing Organization and Section XIII. In the series Alucard also supposedly holds back a lot more than in the manga - I would assume this means less fight time in the anime. The manga is a lot more graphic, blood and gore-wise, than the anime is, so it's definitely not for the faint of stomach. IMO, the blood in the anime is like the blood in Kill Bill - very fake-looking.

I guess I've said enough about the bad parts, even if some good parts were scattered throughout it. As for good points - I do like the [manga] animation, the plot is very good and involving, the suspense factor is great, the fantasy aspect of it makes things seem really fresh, and the action is very adrenaline-pumping.

From here I leave it up to you to decide. Maybe check it out a little more, read a bit of the manga or watch a bit of the anime and make a decision then.

Like Qyot27 said, the pentagram is seen differently by the Japanese, but I wouldn't say it changes the overall meaning of it (even if they don't see it the same way we do).
I got into Hellsing earlier in the year, and for a while it became one of my favorite Anime. But every time I watched it I felt a big nagging inside. At the time, I was hanging around the series too much and getting too deep into the vampiric theme. I think my attraction to it was just that, and I would keep trying to find excuses, or reasons why I should be able to watch the series without feeling guilty. When someone actually got the series for me as a gift, I watched a few episodes, and the guitly feeling got stronger. A little while after I got the series, I stopped watching it, and I've still never seen the end.
I think that now I may be able to watch some or more of the series, but I don't know yet if the feeling of guilt will return. As anyone who's seen the series can tell you, it has good animation and a well written storyline. It is very gory, and some things that were said in the series made me very angry, even if some of the main characters are Christians. It also has sexual themes in some of the episodes.
But what I suggest is asking God about it, he will let you know if he wants you to watch it or not. And his answer is better than any I could give you. ^-^

it's ok... not great but not really bad.

Even if i did not like the Anime so mutch, i really did like the Manga

Hmn... perhaps I should reword that question to make it more specific.

What are the good and bad points of Hellsing?

Click to expand...

Goos points... its one of those few animes that doesn't have any romantic sidestory which is really good in the case of this anime. More good points violence, violence and some more violence which looks pretty cool.

Bad points... violence, violence and some more violence again .

The problem is the spiritual overtones (pentagrams etc.)... Personally I didn't really have a problem with it but I wouldn't recommed it to everyone.

Well that should be all the good points

It's the story of a vampire who voluntarily becomes the slave of a human.

A bit of religious symbolism. Some sexual content. I see no reason for an adult to avoid it unless they don't like violent anime.

I don't understand people's fear of the pentacle.

Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia. The Pentagram has magickal associations, and many people who practice pagan faiths wear them. Christians once commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus Christ, but nowadays some Christians associate the symbol with Satanism. However, most who use it are not Satanists.
