Little do they know that they will soon be thrown into an all-out vampire war...
Story
The plot of Hellsing Ultimate is essentially one huge battle. However, this doesn't hinder the plot at all. Despite having a stronger focus on action and animation, they still manage to have a solid plot to keep us interested throughout.
My only gripe is that sometimes they would have a humorous quip in the middle of an otherwise serious battle, and it can give you tonal whiplash.

Characters
Nearly all characters have some development of some kind, and each have their own unique stories and personalities to make each memorable. The characters themselves are interesting because they are all so powerful that if they were in any other anime they could be the most powerful character. But when they're all in one anime, it makes the grand-scale-battle even more epic.

Animation
The animation in Hellsing Ultimate is incredible. Beautiful scenes and dark imagery make the animation absolutely stunning to look at.
However, the animation style will change drastically along with the quip previously mentioned in the Story section, adding to the whiplash.

Music
There is no opening song, and each ending theme is different, so I'll just mash up all music into a generalization.
The music is amazing. There were moments where the music itself made a scene similar to other shows seem more grand and epic than it has ever been. The wide range of music types ensures that there will be some tracks for all of us to enjoy on their own.
9.1
Overall
Despite some dark and disturbing themes, Hellsing Ultimate has been one huge epic battle few can match. The grand scale of the battle makes it so entertaining that it's an anime one can watch again and again.

I'm not sure whether it's really cool, or really annoying, how many of the characters are animated with their arms out of their sleeves. Sometimes it'd create a cool effect, sometimes it'd just bug me.
...I. Love. The. Major.
....I also love Alexander Anderson, but I love the Major, too.
Seriously... all of these characters are frighteningly powerful. It's so cool...
Oh, yeah, and if possible, WATCH DUB. All the accents add sooo much to the cool facter, it's not even funny.
...I am everyvere, and yet novere.
