This release from the anime OVA series Hellsing Ultimate includes all four episodes of the series, opening with a flashback to ten years earlier, when Integra Hellsing had first inherited the top position at the Hellsing Organization following her father's death. Her jealous uncle Richard turns deadly violent at this revelation, but in so doing, awakens the dormant Alucard. In present day, Alucard is the head of his own small chapter of Hellsing, in a small town being ravaged by a vampire priest, but when a D11 operator named Seras Victoria is mortally injured in the process, Alucard finds himself with a new immortal servant.

Fantastic anime

This was my portal into anime shows. I love the characters and how they interact with each other as well as the plot and synopsis of the show. This is only the first 4 episodes and the second set has episodes 5-8. I cannot wait for the final 2 episodes to come out, hopefully it will be soon (I prefer the dub to the English subtitles so I'm going to wait for that, otherwise the series is complete if you watch it in Japanese). If you like the synopsis and can stomach some moderate gore then this show is for you!
My Best Buy number: 3315919838
What's great about it: Great plot, great characters, and great animation
What's not so great: Very gory and violent, not for the faint of heart
I would recommend this to a friend!

This exciting release from the martial arts fantasy adventure animated series The Legend of Korra, a spin-off of Avatar: The Last Airbender that takes place later, includes all 14 episodes from the show's second season, following the story of Korra, an Avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements in the world, who joins a revolutionary group, hoping to finally capture a man who plans to rid the world of bending.

(Note that there may be SPOILERS about general character development but not specific events in the series). I love this show and I love Avatar: The Last Airbender. I was happy to see the changes that this show made to give it a fresh look to the Avatar universe. This season, however, does have a few problems that seem to go against the usual standard for this show. Korra spends season 1 learning that she does not know everything and that she needs to control her temper and by the end of season 1 she became more humble and learned how to better control her anger. Season 2 it seems like they threw all of that character development out the window and she is exactly as she was during the first season. The plot is a bit spotty at times but I still enjoyed it and even with these problems this show is still much better than most of the stuff we see kids watching today. I highly recommend this show (and this season) to any who have even the slightest interest.

What's not so great: Plot can be slow at times and there seems to be some character regression.
