First and foremost I must say that visually this is an absolute treat to watch. It is evident that a lot of time was spent planning the visual effects and the staging for this piece of impressive eye candy.
If any one of you has had the pleasure of watching the Tri Gun series then the similarities will scream at you from the opening alone. Even Alucard's costume and sunglasses is reminiscent of Vash's red coat and orange sunglass combo. They both use modified hand guns and are virtual gods with them!
The story is quite decent with a host of 'cool' characters. It does not suffer from the usual anime syndrome of simple start and impossibly complex ending (not completely any way).
All in all a great watch with plenty to entertain any hard core anime fans.
This is a very typical ADV anime series. Its very short, with a story thats very well throught out, and very entertaining. If you like other ADV productions such as Full Metal Panic, then you'll love this.
The story tells of a sort of agency that is set up to protect a kind of post appocaliptic England from demons and such (very similar to Vampire Hunter D) The agency's best fighter is a character called Alucard, who seems to have super human strength and strange powers (When you watch the anime you will enjoy finding out who he is and how he has these powers) the agency of course know who he is (atleast the higher ups do in case you where woundering)
Gruesome fighting scenes, fast paced action and story (If not too fast) with little twists, and very interesting characters, well worth a watch. Do bear in mind it is an ADV anime so expect story to be very rushed.
