"The Bird of Hermes Is My Name, Eating My Wings To Make Me Tame"
Hellsing Ultimate (Anime OVA) - Anime-Planet
For first-timers: No spoiler here, but needless to say, if you like epic actions, mature and cool dialogue that isn't cheesy, a serious and dark storyline, a proper depiction of a modern-day vampire (and believe me, the way Alucard is depicted has set the standard for vampires :D). This series is not Bram Stoker's "Dracula" re-told, or "Dracula 2001" or anything you've seen related to vampires. There's absolutely no need to watch the old Hellsing anime or read the manga first. Hellsing Ultimate the OVA Series is a brilliant piece of work. It follows the manga closely. There is no filler episode in this series at all and it will glue you to the screen; the action sequences are flawless and you would struggle to think of more creative villains/heroes to add to a plot; each character is unique and makes you wonder what comes next.

Dub or Sub?
This is a FAQ. My answer is: rarely do I see an anime series that has such awesome English dub like Hellsing Ultimate! I love how the characters' accents complement their nationalities, and Alucard's voice is the perfect fit. HOWEVER, there are some altered dialogues that may lose the humor or change your interpretation of some scenes, characters, and their relationships with one another. So keep that in mind. (My favorite way to watch this show is English dub + subtitles). Once or twice, I see mistakes in the Sub, too.
