Both are in a Victorian-era setting with heavy paranormal activity. Plus, there's also the master/servant thing going on between Integra and Alucard.

First off, both shows take place mainly in England and the main characters are British. Second, both main protagonists possess badass butlers (I'm actually talking about Walter here, not Alucard) and have total control over a demonic monster that carries out their master's will (This is Alucard), regardless of morals or relationships. Additionally, the ending of Hellsing Ultimate was similar to the ending of Black Butler season 2, but I won't say why for the sake of not spoiling either show. But, in the end, both series, despite the similarities, are full to the brim of their own great points and I highly recommend both, read more

Existence of the mystical or supernatural powers. Both main characters pasts are uncovered during run of the series. Sebastian and Alucard fulfill similar roles to their masters. Both series present different view on relationship between demon and human.

English Master- Supernatural servant pair as they protect England (and their own interests) from other supernatural or non-supernatural opponents seeking to bring both down. Both shows also feature their own side casts of interesting and peculiar characters with similar backgrounds.

Both shows are about demons who serve their masters' wishes. Both also contain fair to gruesome amounts of blood, and involve climatic battles taking place in the heart of London.

Both are superhuman beings (Sebastian and Alucard) under contract to english nobility (Ciel and Integra). Even though the main aim of the two animes are different, (revenge vs elimination of vampires), they are almost cut from the same cloth! However, Hellsing tends to be darker and more bloody.

Both are focused on overpowered supernatural beings, although Hellsing is more mature and gory in nature.

If you were to extremely dumb down each show, the plot of both are exactly the same. A human and their supernatural partner ally up to protect London from other extreme supernatural evils. .Both have a Master x Monster Relationship - I'm a sucker for these dynamics just because of how loyal the dynamic is, plus we get to see amazing fight scenes from both Alucard and Sebastian when commanded an order .Master x Monster Origins - Both Sir Integra and Ciel met their respective counterparts at the age of 12 only calling upon them in times of extreme crisis. .High gore, horror, and supernatural themes - Actions are justified to secure London and the Queen's overall rule. Both masters treat their orders and actions as one whole business transaction. Their affairs in dealing with the supernatural are handled to their own accord no matter who stands in their way. Despite their own hardships, both masters, Ciel and Sir Integra, do whatever is necessary to get closer to their true goal. Whereas Ciel is more revenge-oriented, Integra is more mature as she upholds the Hellsing name and its responsibilities. .Upkeeping with Human Forms and other formalities - Alucard and Sebastian are almost always present in their human forms. They not only blend in with society but fulfill their master's given orders, respecting societal norms. Alucard has always been fascinated with humans as he sees himself as only a monster after all those centuries. He admires their fight to continue living which was something he regrets not doing himself. This can be seen in tiny gestures and actions within the anime, whereas Alucard doesn't see the harm or negative connotation in aging, a feature that he himself cannot experience due to his lack of humanity. Though his actions are brutal and beyond humanity, Alucard's reasons for doing so are a reflection of who and what he is fighting for in the end. Though he may not see it, I believe Alucard's humanity remains deep inside him but is greatly repressed as a result of his past tragedies. Sebastian takes on the form of Ciel's father, the late Earl Vincent Phantomhive. His father was a comforting figure for Ciel during the scary circumstances he was in and so Sebastian kept it to "appease" his young master. Everything is an order and despite finding annoyances in everyday life as a butler, Sebastian was forced to learn and adapt to human ways without unleashing his true demonic powers to the public. In a sense, both Ciel and Sebastian hide their true identities as they each have lost something that night. That being Ciel's family and true identity and Sebastian's freedom and true form as a demon. Both Alucard and Sebastian always have a lock on their true powers but found ways around that by using lesser abilities to get by in everyday life. Of course, they show off when the occasion calls too. Sebastian is presented as a pretentious host when quickly assembling arrangements and displays for Ciel's guests. He argues that if he couldn't manage anything as "simple" as said task then what good would he be as a butler? Of course, the same applies when Sebastian is to fight Ciel's enemies. Alucard acts masochistic in a sense, dawdling before truly playing with his victims. Though it can be argued that with his immortality, Alucard doesn't mind getting attacked first before he makes his move which is because of his will to die. Neither living nor dead, Alucard uses the rush and possibility of death during his battles as reasoning to continue fighting. Both of these series are amazing and I absolutely love how intuitive, suspenseful, and existential it becomes episode by episode. The themes and characters of both are the epitomai of careful and precise storytelling told in fantastical and larger-than-life ways. You just can't help but reflect or retain something so simple or witty from most scenes or episodes altogether. It's been a while since I've seen an anime that has captivated my time and energy as much as these two. Considering Black Butler as my very first anime I feel very nostalgic and connected to that time in my life after just finishing an anime like Hellsing Ultimate. Overall if you're interested in supernatural beings, gore, and mature topics definitely give each a watch! There's so much I could say about each anime individually but I will leave it here for now. If you got this far thanks for reading my 1st recommendation :D read more
