Hellsing volume 1 (English version) The ongoing prequel to the manga, entitled Hellsing: The Dawn, is set in September of 1944, in the midst of World War II. The story features Walter (then only 14 years old) and Alucard fighting Millennium in Warsaw, Poland. Because of its popularity, the importance of the story in relation to Hellsing, and the fact that some scenes from The Dawn were present in the OVA trailer, it is possible that The Dawn will be animated as part of the new OVA series. This is supported ... by the appearance of Alucard, as he appears in The Dawn, at the end of the credits in the first episode. However, there has been no mention of The Dawn making an appearance in the OVA by either the creators or Hirano, so it remains to be seen. It should be noted that the credits for OVA III depicted Alucard fighting Nazis, young Walter sneaking about and "Her".
The second Hellsing OVA is heavily action orienated. It follows the assault on the Hellsing Organization headquarters by the Valentine Brothers and their army of armored ghouls. The human Hellsing soldiers are brutally massacred and then their mutilated bodies become ghouls themselves. The Valentine Brothers make their way to the conference room where the Twelve are hiding, only Seras, Walter and Alucard remain in their way. If you thought the first episode was bloody, wait until you see this one.
In 2001, Gonzo produced a 13-episode Hellsing series that made sizable changes to the characters and plot. Geneon promises that the new OVA (animated by Satelight Studios) will retell the story of the first volume, as well as reunite the English dub cast from the Gonzo anime. There are no plans to show the new Hellsing OVA on North American TV, although Starz/Encore Action Channel did air the Gonzo series in 2003.
