I've liked Pip since he appeared but in volume 6 and 7 he interested me (he... seemed competent with field tactics *gasps* while nobody in Hellsing, even Major or Integra, grasped THIS).
But I like how Pip and Seras are a complete being together. Animu-Anima combination in a literal sense.
Integra always gets those reactions. She's well-liked for her androgyny and authority, although I consider Alucard more androgynous than her. He turns, literally, into a young girl.
Tell me that was at least before the flashback to the alternative ending of Stoker’s novel, or what was probably meant to be Murad II doing highly out of character things to a younger Vlad or his final release state where he seems to declare a desire to marry Integra by naming her Countess already?
Who wouldn't want to marry Integra? *g* It was a little before that, actually. Also there is a flashback of his defeat by Abraham but it's kept vague (chapter 89) that came a little after that. But he was declaring himself Dracula while calling forth Wallachia (I know it should be Tara Romanesca) armies from his... coffin? Maxwell is like "Wallachia's army? But those were... Your own men, monster!"
I, myself, don't think that was Murac in the rape either. It has a cross patterned stole he wore. He didn't dress like a Sultan.
Though presumably characters like Alucard simply sit in a basement being bored between missions, for years at a time. And he’s not the sort to simply fade out of the story quietly with no explosive drama surrounding that anyway.
He was pretty quiet when he disappeared. Integra was the one screaming/crying out. But who knows, he may return. It's ironic Alucard was beaten by Schrödinger.
Gunslinger Girl is pretty good. I have seen only the first season. The art is high quality, there's a lot of drama and moral questions, not much of a plot but a strong emphasis on the girls' lives. I'm reluctant to watch the second season because the art is more "generic." This is the opening. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=xEMjq9VpBSE)
