Music Presentation:
Special thanks to Geneon Anime Music for sending a copy for a review for this site. This is one of many Anime CDs that are domestic release. This is the second soundtrack release for Hellsing. I have still yet to see the series of Hellsing. Well, the music isn't so bad, but it's not my type of music I listen. It's a mix of rock & heavy metal, I guess it's that kind of music for killing evil. However, there is a big number of tracks on this CD, so it's well worth getting it if you enjoy watching Hellsing.

Audio 2.0:
I find no problem listening to the music. The tracks are well separated.

Packaging:
Even it's not my taste in music, the package really hits the eyes. This volume a little different & more calm design then the first volume. On the cover, you see one of the characters in Hellsing. In the back, you see a sheild, something about a mission from God. The insert is fully covered with many cool pictures of the more characters of the series. It also inclused the lyrics, all in English. The CD case is a clear one, so you get to see a hellish-type picture in behind the CD. On the CD disc itself, yet another character. It's really well done.

Overall CD Rating:
If you watch for Hellsing series & enjoy the music, this CD is just for you. It's not really my type of music I listen to, but it's pretty much a good CD to add in your Anime collection.

Music Presentation: It was ok!
Audio 2.0: No problem detected!
Packaging: A cool design package!
Overall CD Rating: If you're a Hellsing fan, grab a copy!
