I think the full dub should be released. Sets for 1-4 and 5-8 are already on sale on Amazon. And 9-10 should be released on October 28th.
I sincerely hope so. I wonder if Toonami, which will begin airing the dubbed episodes a week from now, will show nine and ten?

This is the latest info I've heard:
"The ten-part OVA will be premiere next week at 3 am EST for an hour-long block for the next ten weeks. However, no one has asked Toonami head, Jason De Marco how they'll edit the series as a three episodes (Episode 1, 5, & 10) clock in more than forty-five minutes (the usual run time for most of the OV As). It's safe to assume some scenes will be cut, but just what? Or will Toonami air the series with limited commercial interuption? .We'll keep you updated if they show a heavy edited form or not."

Regardless, I checked Amazon and the Blu-Ray set includes the dub so it will definitely be there. You can already watch 1-8 dubbed on youtube anyway.

That is interesting to know.
Thanks, I have watched the dubbed ones already. Scottish Anderson is the best thing ever.

Hellsing Ultimate. The Hellsing manga brought to its finest form yet. Famed for its Crazy Awesome, and as a fan of Crazy Awesome, I checked it out.
The fight scenes are jaw-dropping, blood-pumping, very creative, and magnificently gory. Excellent use of Chiaroscuro and lighting in general (Scary Shiny Glasses for everyone!), it's very visually striking and a treat to watch. The sound is great as well: a mighty soundtrack of Ominous Latin Chanting and some fine voicework (particularly the English V As, who in some points exceed their originals). in sight and sound: absolutely great.
The premise is preposterous, but in a good way (Ghostapo vs Church Militant). There are charismatic and deeply interesting characters, such as: Integra, Anderson, Pip, Walter.
Great things that the series wastes. Notice how I listed good characters, and how none are Alucard. God-Mode Sue, Black Hole Sue, Villain Sue, Jerk Sue, Sympathetic Sue, Alucard is all combined, taken Up to Eleven and Beyond the Impossible. With a vengeance. A) He's invincible. B) He's a sociopath. He sucks out all the fun, makes everything an anti-climax, is a Complete Monster and gets away with it.
Notice: Episodes 1-4 are good and fun, but just that, 5-7 are the show's most emotional, exciting and Holy Shit Quotient moments, 8 goes back to mediocrity, and 9-10 overstood their welcome and were low-quality, barring a few things. Notice 5-7, the show's height, is when Alucard is entirely absent.
A lesser problem is the writing. Walter's Face-Heel Turn is an Ass Pull and Character Derailment for the ages, and the battle with the Nazis goes on for way too long. Chapters 9 and 10 are so full of Padding you could block bullets with them.
However, whenever the show isn't about Alucard, it's a great series full of Rule of Cool, Ham-to-Ham Combat, Holy Shit Quotient and Cool Versus Awesome that I recommend. So for that, it earns a high opinion with me, even if Alucard's existance and questionable writing bring it down hard.
7/10.
PS: I hope the full dub is released.
