MipTV Tradeshow News (03:34 PM EST): About a week ago we were told to keep an eye out for some interesting Geneon news to come out of the MipTV tradeshow in France, which is one of the many shows throughout the year where new series, properties and licenses are looked at, promoted, bought and sold and all that fun stuff. Thanks to an extremely reliable source, we've got three pieces of news that as far as I can tell can be called exclusives here:

One: Geneon Entertainment (USA) is involved in a new Hellsing OVA series. No number of episodes is listed but they're talking 35 minutes per episode and based on actual manga material.

Two: Geneon Entertainment (USA) has the new Manglobe series called Ergo Proxy by Shukou Murase. It is listed as 23 episode with Murase as director and Dai Sato as the writer.

Three: Geneon Entertainment (USA) has acquired the rights to the Erementar Gerad anime series. This was previously announced as an ADV Films license back on 02/18/2004 due to their name showing up in the production credits via the Moon Phase site but this information supercedes that.

Too good to be true? I hope not.

Whoa!!!

That would be awesome! I'd love to see more Hellsing.

I know that there were quite a few people that were disappointed in how the first series was handled (not myself, I really liked the series, but I never read the manga, either

). Thanks for the news, I hope that it's true, too!

HAAAALELUJIAH ; HAAAAALELUJIAH.
I liked the first series but it just kind of dribbeled off towards the end.I heard this was due to the fact that the anime producers went their own way because the manga wasn't finished yet.
Although why they couldn't wait to create the anime when the manga was finished is beyond me.

Oh crud, that's f*ckin awesome news! I really hope that it's legit

Grumble Grumble Grumble

So I'll ask the obvious questions that no one else has posted yet.

1. How many episodes for the OVA series?

2. What animation studio will be in charge of the production??

3. Is this a sequel to the TV series, or a completly independent retelling of the story???

4. And does this mean that the Hellsing manga series is finished, or about to finish????

*Fallen Angel* · Apr 18, 2005, 10:47 PM

And when will they release it? They better not ruining the manga series cuz the anime is kindda suck and boring.

the anime was awesome...tastic. the manga was even more awesometastic. i didn't even read a lot of the manga [i only got thru about 3 volumes and it ended on a cliff hanger -_-]. the manga was always better than the anime. granted the end of the anime was pretty cool but you don't really get to see alucard totally dominate some little weak enemy.

plus the soundtrack is awesome

I can only say the little bit of leaked knowledge there is right now.

1.) Undetermined, episodes will be about 35 minutes though.

2.) Undetermined, I wouldn't mind if the same animation studio, Gonzo, did the OVA though, I liked their work with the TV series.

3.) Story is NOT a sequel to the TV but will follow the manga's plot more closely. Don't expect it to take place after the TV's ending.

4.) There's been no mention of the Manga finishing up so I would assume no.

Can't offer much at the time since there really isn't much to spill but that's all I got.

I hope it's not too good to be true and also not a continuation on the anime series.
On the other hand, all those swastikas and nazi stuff, how will they tackle that?
Especially when you see they even made the zombies explode into dust in the anime...

Maybe a little added Integra and Alucard interaction? And of course,
MORE ANDERSOOOOON!!

Oh and I hope they leave the top notch music intact.
