I'll tell you another atmospheric doom metal album that is utterly transcendent: Funeral - 'From these Wounds' This is a deeply affecting album that is the perfect combination of emotional riffs and vocals. It took me a while to figure out why the other albums by Funeral didn't have anywhere near the same quality - and the answer is because 'From these Wounds' is the only album the band did with that vocalist and the main songwriter. The effect is perfect.

Recently watched Hellsing Ultimate. Overall I'd say 5.5/10 it's ok without being great. The problem with an anime being just one season of 10 episodes is very little room for character development and pacing. Upside there's no filler episodes. It left me wanting more so I suppose that's good as it means the series wasn't awful. At the same time there's no real sense of closure. What I liked most would have to be the violence. Whether it was Alucard, Anderson, or even Seras on occassion this was hands down the bloodiest anime I've seen. Over the top in every possible way is exactly what I want from anime - particularly an anime involving vampires. What I disliked most...the soundtrack. It freakin' sucked. Wildly inappropriate for the most part the soundtrack often took away from what would otherwise have been impactful scenes. Case and point London is burning, vampires are sacking the city and people are terrified. You know what DOESN'T fit this scene at all? Fucking JPop I'll leave it there. What I would have liked to see more of? Seras struggling with herself. For the most part Seras comes off as innocent, almost a comic relief character at times, that was fine (once I got over how god damned awful the scene with her learning she's a vampire was). Then all of a sudden she turns all pissed off and badass for half an episode. Then she's all innocent and a little whiny again for pretty much the rest of the series. If they had just developed the character a little more and changed that first scene with her as a vampire. How does it feel to be a vampire? *cheeky grin* wait what *freakout*? Sorry but that really got under my skin.
