Pros:
Even more action and blood and story than the second volume WOW!
Cons:
Cliffhanger at the end of episode 9..wait thats a good thing
More than half of the members of the Royal Order of Religious Knights were massacred in episode 6; Sir Integra Hellsinger, Arucard, and Seras must now hunt down the perpetrators. The suspects include the Vatican's Iscariot Organization and whoever is making the "artificial vampirization catalyst semiconductor" or "freak chips" that turn humans into second-class ghouls. Some of the dialogue in this jejune gorefest is inadvertently hilarious. Seras asks another vampire, "How long have you been undead?" and a British Army officer says of suspected IRA members, "Even if they are no longer human, that doesn't mean their guilt as terrorists can be erased." Sir Integra is attacked by a vampire in episode 9 and stabs herself in the throat, rather than be enslaved by her own now-tainted blood.The third installment of the Hellsing series. many things come to pass.
1) Integra Helling is finally labled, beyond doubt, as female.
2) We learn that Victoria's dad was in the Police, and is now dead, I guess.
3) A lot of the "real" Vampires in England just want to be left the heck alone.
4) Some one on the inside is trying to derail not only Hellsing, but pretty much everything in the living world.
This volume does a fine job moving the plot along, right up until the end of episode 8, where it swings into Evangelion mode.
My only complaints about this volume are:
1) Y does Victoria keep Shinji'ing out on us?
2) Y does Paladin Alexander seem as inhuman as the undead he fights?
3) And why does he keep killing human Hellsing members?
4) Episode 9. What the hell was THAT?
after the dust settles, however, this is a fine series, and as such, u need this volume to keep up with the curent events. Also, the end-of-episode previews are some of the most interesting and creative pieces of art i've ever seen, also some of the best voice acted animation in existance.
Once again we grow more attached to Alucard and the Police Girl. And with the Cliff hanger at the end I bet you can't wait and watch.(Rated-R again for the same stuff as the rest of the series)
