That's becuase it's not necesarry... Why is it that every obsessed otaku except me is obsessed with u's and double i's. Heh... Like, the people who would get pissed at me for spelling Ryoko without the u (Ryouko) or Goku with only one u, or other such stuff... :P

Those extra vowels are there for a reason in Japanese, but the reason is lost when translated to english simply because we don't pronounce things the same way they do. If you wanna get technical, to get the same pronunciation for Goku, we'd have to start spelling it "gokoo" with a line over the two o's...

Quitcherbitchin' :P


Hehehe....Arucard, biotch, Arucard! Not Alucard, Arucard! :P

i personnally like the subbed versions but i watch the dubbed too
Madness and genius are seperated only by degrees of success.
I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

"Aarucaddo"

Hehehe....Arucard, biotch, Arucard! Not Alucard, Arucard!


ive watched the series loved it .. went along and tried to find out what the name actually was .. i cant seem to find an absolute answer .. if its a R or L .. kinda like the idea about alucard being dracula being spelled backwards .. of course ... it could be even a variation of the 2 names .. never could tell .. maybe a native japaneese speaker could?
...the problem I see a lot is that many good amv makers think they suck, and many bad amv makers think they're good.

It's Arucard officially, being stated by Gonzo, but I believe in the dubs, Pioeneer (or whoever is dubbing Hellsing) changed it to Alucard, as it is in most fansubs.

Look it's definately Alucard, you know the way the Japanese can't pronounce l's that's why it's called engrish. Also there is further evidence in the fact that Alucard spelt backwards is Dracula. Yesw very logical :?

It's Alucard, people. I was joking for christ's sake. I thought everyone else was, too.
