Traditional spoiler-space verbiage... there are spoilers to worry about,
here, from the last episode.

Interesting story... The only thing I have a problem with are the silly
Hellsing names (it should be "Helsing", for one), but those are not your
fault :). These names are something I'd like to see changed even if it
means they'll differ from series canon.

I really have to wonder where you got that idea.  It's Hellsing, quite
clearly, on the cover of the manga scans I have--and that's not edited.  

Well, in Dracula it's clearly "Helsing" :). Hellsing the anime is
practically a Dracula "fanfic" as it is, so I think the names should be
written as they are in "canon" :). I'm also quite sure female knights
aren't called "Sir" (I remember someone on this very list saying the
correct for would be "Dame").

As
for the rest... I hope you don't mean Alucard, because the r1 dvds seem to
have messed that up.  Arucard?  Bah!  Alucard is the traditional name, so I
don't know why that was used at all.  I've seen both Integral and Integra,
and Seras and Ceres, so I don't know about those, but Hellsing and Alucard
should be correct.

I've seen "Seras" referred to as "Celia", which I think makes much more
sense if you consider she's supposed to be British :). I don't know if
Celia is a common name in the UK, but it sounds a lot more likely than
Seras.
