| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So the first episode looks basically like a lead-in: in 9 minutes we've been introduced to the circumstances and characters, action is just about to begin, but we'll have to wait for the second part to witness it. Art clearly is promising: it's basically Hellsing OVA stile + really detailed shading everywhere + darker pallet, so in combination it heavily resembles first colored WW2 chronicle videos. Also The Dawn special follows the manga perfectly close, panel by panel. |
 |
| So this episode covered the first chapter of the manga. Need I say I loved it? It was so great seeing young Walter, Alucard (EDIT: its coffin that is, as Klimat kindly pointed my fail xD) as well as Integra's father animated. The only flaw is that it felt so SHORT. Btw, I wonder who's Walter's VA, to me it sounded like Paku Romi. |

Damm, such a fail...ROFL Yeah, believe me or not I did intend to write coffin, then I had to go away from the keyboard for 5 minutes so I completely forgot to check what i wrote when I got back. But that was a god damn awesome coffin xD |
|
| metamorphius Also you are right about Paku Romi, I've just checked the credits, she is the first one in the cast. |

| But most importantly... Does this mean Hirano will finally finish this? With the release speed, he should have plenty of time, if he can be bothered. |
Baman said: But most importantly... Does this mean Hirano will finally finish this? With the release speed, he should have plenty of time, if he can be bothered. It has been stated on the official site that Hirano simply wrote down the final part of The Down with no pictures, so the OVA team already has their material to finish this thing according to the author's idea, but I really doubt we will see manga of The Dawn completed... |
|
| I came... Romi Paku as young Walter? And the kid just knows he's such a badass! |
| Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature! |
| Interesting story, seems there will be action next OVA. I'm looking forward to it |
| It was short, but damn it was awesome! I just love seeing young Walter animated. A bit surprised about Paku voicing him, but it fits very good. Can't wait to see the next episode together with the ova |
 |
| Subs are out on CtA! |
|
| Holy crap the RAW for this was hard to find. I uploaded CtA's subs with the 480P RAW I found to NyaaTorrents. |
 |
| SUBS MAI GAWD Finally saw this, and hell yeah young Walter. I've never read the manga so any back story on Walter is awesome. |
| ^ so true! Walter is so badass. |
| Looking forward to this specials. I'd watch anything related to Hellsing. And yeah, cheers for Walters sergeant. He made him smile and automaticly made me smile! |
| あらあら。。。 |
  |
| あらあら。。。 |
| Some people need to brush up on history: |
| So good. Great exposition... and I loved the art style (OVA style).. Walter is so badass... makes it that much more sad that... |
  |
| good when will the next come out??? |
nelsonbrabra said: good when will the next come out??? One week from today. |
|
| so they made this to cover up some manga stuff eh :P lets see how good the 2nd ep is |
 |
| I can't decide if old man Walter or young punk Walter is cooler. I loved it when he just jumped out of the bomber with Alucard's coffin in tow xD |
 |
| nice... :3 awesome I think.. walter is really badass one here XD and that steak made me really hungry XD |

I'm glad that they've made this specials,at least we will understand a little bit more of their fight in the WW2 and how everything happened. |

| Quite lovely start I must say, the quality of both art and animation definitly have improved and well I sure love the setting and the voice actors chosen for the characters! Let's see what's next! |
 |
| Ok looks pretty interesting. |
  |
| Loving this art style ok first episode nothing to crazy yet >.> |
 |
| Oh it's a prequel? Damn so no Seras in here eh? :< |
| pretty good first episode. Young Walter is badass af Adramelech said: Where do you know the old Walter from? Was he the old man from the original series which had 13 episodes? Damn I forgot everything. How the fuck you skipped Hellsing Ultimate and watched this instead? Take this L |
