Hellsing - Eternal Damnation (Vol. 4)

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Not surprisingly, the finale of this gothic bloodfest is elaborate, violent, and inconclusive. As Sir Integra recovers from a vampire attack, a series of flashbacks reveals how she became the head of the Hellsing Organization with the aid of Arucard, despite the opposition of her uncle. An army of ghouls, vampires, and "freaks" lays siege to the Tower of London; although the British Army is on hand, it's really a duel between the unexplained creature Incognito and Arucard. Incognito attempts to use Sir Integra's blood to raise the demon Sett. But even a demon from hell is no match for Arucard, and their battle trashes much of London. The closing titles announce that the search for the creators of the artificial vampires continues, so a sequel may be in the works. (Rated 16 and older, but unsuitable for viewers younger than 18: graphic violence, profanity, gore, violence against women) --Charles Solomon

"Hellsing: Eternal Damnation" is the final volume in this series. Sadly, the journey ends, although it leaves room for another addition to come in the near future. As Sir Integra fights for her life in critical condition, her mind flashes back to the first time she met Alucard and how she became the leader of the Hellsing Organization. While it's still not clear what the exact relationship between Alucard and her father was truly based on, we are at least given another piece to the puzzle. Later on, an unspeakable and deadly trap is set, leaving the Hellsing group extremely vulnerable. Seras must get a grip on what she really is and find her true courage within herself if she wishes to live and continue the ongoing battle between them and the vampires, while Alucard faces the what seems to be an unstoppable foe, Incognito, for one last time. This is where things really get interesting, as the next few moments will ultimately decide the fate of the Hellsing Organization--and possibly the fate of humanity as well.
I'm sad that this journey ended so quickly, but am overall extremely pleased with how this series was conducted and executed. It's true that there's no concrete ending, but it leaves us with enough to not feel cheated or disappointed. There are loose ends, of course; however, these loose ends foreshadow the possibility of a second series to come in the future. The last episode really shows us just how effective and powerful Alucard truly is, while we get to finally see Seras' courage overcome her fears and weaknesses. And yes, we even get to see how strong Sir Integra really is when she is fighting for her life in the tenth episode.
This last chapter of the "Hellsing" series is just as dark and violent as the past volumes, if not more. Again, this is not a cartoon for children. These remaining four episodes contain graphic violence, blood and gore, strong language, adult situations, and dark and disturbing themes and imagery. Unlike the past three DVDs, this one contains four episodes instead of three; with the entire feature running at about 95 minutes long. Extras include a creditless ending, concept art, weapons gallery and more.
I found "Hellsing: Eternal Damnation" to be a satisfactory conclusion to this mesmerizing and dark series, even if the ending is not exactly concrete. I really do hope that another addition to this series is in the making, as I could see them doing great things with it. My overall thoughts on this series are extremely positive as I enjoyed every minute of the ride and regret nothing. The "Hellsing" series is remarkable proof of what anime is capable of producing. The journey into Hell and darkness has come to an end--for now...
