About HELLSING: THE DAWN

HELLSING: THE DAWN (HELLSING：THE DAWN) arrives as an action anime by Graphinica (2011), and the premise is easy to summarize. In short: It is September 1944 and World War II is raging in Europe. To get an advantage on the field, Nazis are experimenting with artificial vampire technologies, they are still far away from achieving their initial goal.

From there, in an attempt to stop the Nazi project and to protect England and The Allies current head of the Hellsing House, Sir Arthur Hellsing, is sending his best agents—Walter C. Dornes and Alucard—into German-occupied Poland where monstrous experiments are being conducted. Hellsing: The Dawn Specials can be found on the bonus discs, bundled with Hellsing Ultimate Limited Edition volumes starting from volume 8.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Jouji Nakata as Alucard and Romi Park as Walter C. Dornez. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 3 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
