Madhouse to animate Hellsing Ultimate OVAs

Hellsing Ultimate OVA

Didn’t like the past few Hellsing OVAs? Well good news for you. It seems that from the next OVA (Number 5) the Hellsing Ultimate OVA series will now be handeled and produced by Madhouse (The animation studio behind stuff like Death Note, Trigun, Claymore e.t.c).

While Satelight have lost rights to the series, I’m sure everyone agrees that Hellsing is in able hands. How much of a difference this will make on the art and overall animation is yet to be seen.

Personally, I’m glad. Satelight were doing some weird things with Hellsing since the 3rd OVA. I mean… COMMEDY in a horror+gore+slasher like Hellsing? PLEASE NO! >_>

Here’s hoping Madhouse continue to provide the awesome animation and even keep the dark, extremely serious tone and stay true to the manga this time.
