10 More Animes You Must Watch Before You Die

10. Hellsing Ultimate

When you think of top places to find great anime shows, you'd be forgiven if Amazon Prime didn't instantly spring to mind. Sure, it's got its fair share of really amazing scripted shows, but when it comes to anime, it's not exactly known for being a hub that all fans should flock too.

However, with their Funimation Now add-on, you'll have an insane amount of anime available to you at the click of a button including this particularly violent epic, Hellsing Ultimate.

If you're looking for ultra-violent battle scenes filled with flying bullets, gory moments that will test your mettle and one of the greatest anime transformation scenes you'll ever bear witness to, then stop whatever you're watching and put this on.

The show follows main protagonist and badass vampire, Alucard, and the rest of the Hellsing Organisation as they do battle with the various forces of evil who threaten England.

Alucard isn't your typical anime hero. Unlike many of his heroic anime counterparts, the level of brutality he uses during fights is somewhat disturbing. He shows no mercy whatsoever and considering the sadistic smile on his face whenever he pulls the trigger on his primary weapon, The Jackal, you can tell he enjoys his work very much.

While he's very much the centrepiece of the story, supporting characters like his assistant Seras and his arch-nemesis Alexander Anderson. There are certainly some interesting plot points, but this is more like John Wick for anime fans, where most of the focus and enjoyment will comes from the action on display.
