FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Heya everybody!! This here is the FAQ section, that's "Frequently Asked Questions"... or I guess it could mean "Far Away Queen", but that... yeah, it makes no sense... Though Bohemian Rhapsody is a great song... ANYWAY, this section is dedicated to questions related to Hellsing and/or This website and its staff. Some of the questions are ones I've actually received, some are me answering questions pre-emptively. So here we go!
General Site Questions
Q: Didn't this Site used to be Bloodknight.net?
A: Yes, but Bloodknight's original owner, Rip, lost interest in running it. What's more, she's gotten her own comic project off the ground, so the original Bloodknight.net site is now her own personal site for her comic. go check it out, it's great! UPDATE: She has closed down the site.

Hellsing Questions
Q: So who wrote this manga?
A: His name's Kouta Hirano, His hobbies are "Beating off" and "Being Obnoxious".
Q: ...How... do you know that?...
A: Believe it or not... he actually said that himself... Yeah... more questions?
Q: How are chapters released?
A: It was printed by Shounen Gahousha in Monthly Young King OURs alongside such manga as Excel Saga, or Trigun MAXIMUM, until Trigun Ended, and-
Q: WAIT!! TRIGUN ENDED?!
A: Yes, a while ago, and don't interrupt, it's rude. Hellsing's ended now too.
Q: It has?!
A: Yep, the Final chapter "Romancia" has been serialized, and the final volume came out in Japan not too long ago. Just check the Volume list we have up in our manga section for more information!
Q: Well... that was a rather shameless bit of advertisement...
A: What, huh, pshha, no it wasn't, I'm not like that! *Drinks a can clearly marked "Pepsi" and Smiles at the Camera*
Q: Ok... So, are all the volumes out in English?
A: Yes and No. Volumes 1-10 are all out in English, and while Volume 10 took a while to be released, It finally came out in April 2010. The only part of the manga with no known release date in English is the Dawn, but since that was never completed or compiled in Japan, we probably won't see anything from that. You know, until Hirano actually gets up and finishes it.
Q: Who publishes the Manga in the US?
A: Dark Horse Manga and Digital Manga Publishing.
Q: So, what's up with The Hellsing TV series' Season 2?
A: There... has never been... nor will there ever be a Season 2... ever...
Q: Yes there will! I saw a trailer for "Hellsing: Psalms of the Darkness", it's so coming!
A: No, that was a trailer made BEFORE The TV series came out to promote it, didn't you notice how it used a LOT of clips from the opening theme?
Q: But... but... then what's happening with the Hellsing Anime?...
A: Where have you been! The OVAs are being released now! Check up top here at our Shiny OVA link for more info. *Drinks that Pepsi and Smiles again*
Q: So, what's the Status of the OVA Series then?
A: Currently, the OVA series has 7 episodes out and counting, with a trailer for an 8th Episode coming soon, as well as an OVA I-V Blu-ray boxed set featuring HD remakes of OVAs I-IV with redrawn and reworked animation.
Q: Oh, ok. So when does OVA VIII (8) get released?
A: Eventually... the trailer said 2010, but we're fast approaching the end of 2010, and they have yet to release any more information on it. What's more, the OVA Boxed set has been delayed for the 4th time until January 2011. It's doubtful we'll hear anything new about it until after that is released.
Q: So, who would win in a fight, Alcuard or-
A: STOP!! Seriously, none of these questions, they're cumbersome and annoying...
Q: I thought this section was for questions...
A: Yeah, intelligent ones.
Q: You're not very nice lady...
A: Thank you.
Q: Maybe you weren't loved as a child.
A: Can we get on with the questions?!
Q: Have you noticed that Alucard spelled backwards is "Dracula"? What's up with that?

Q: NOOOOOOOO! I DON'T LIKE SPOILERS!!
A: That's what the Alert was for silly.
Q: So, When in the manga do Integra and Alucard get together?
A: They... don't...
Q: Yes they do! At Anime Expo, Hirano said they were lovers!
A: No he didn't. He was asked what their relationship was, and he said "Master and Servant, that's it". When it got no response from the crowd, he added "But Kinky relationships like that [as in BDSM, Stock whips and the like] are Fine I guess" as a JOKE to get a laugh out of the crowd, and they did laugh. He didn't mean it seriously.
Q: No no no! I read on an AxI fansite that-
A: Yeah, key phrase here is "AxI Fansite". Of course they're gonna twist it to suit their own ends, but take it from me, I have no Bias in the situation, that's now how it was said.
Q: How do you know this anyway?
A: I was there.
