Hellsing 9

That’s not why I read it. Really, I read it for mindless violence, which is exactly what I get, and that’s just fine. That’s all I can expect out of Hellsing. Mindless violence and cool art, anyway.
The fight with the demonized Anderson doesn’t last very long, which is kind of a bummer since I like Anderson a lot. The aftermath is respectable, until the peace is shattered by… Walter. You’ll remember that the Nazis took him a volume or so back. He fights Alucard.
If you had any lingering doubts as to the coherency of the plot, they will dissolve at this point. The whole… reason behind all this makes NO GODDAMN SENSE. Literally. It is out of left field, and it is nonsense. I mean, it would be all right, maybe even a little awesome, if there had been any hint whatsoever, or any reason, or ANYTHING at all to make this click into place. But… there’s not.
But that’s okay. I think there’s only one volume left.
Seras is fighting the captain… or the mute guy with the hat at the end of the volume. That fight’s pretty cool, which is about all I can say about it. I mean, lots of zombies die? Big guns are used? The hat guy can transform and is a match for Seras, a full-fledged midian at this point? These details don’t really mean anything, but they do make for a cool fight.
Well, one year to go until the end.
