Hellsing

There exist creatures of darkness and evil that plague the night, devouring any humans unfortunate enough to be caught in their grasp. On the other side is Hellsing, an organisation dedicated to destroying these supernatural forces that threaten the very existence of humanity. At its head is Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, who commands a powerful military and spends her life fighting the undead. Integra's vast army, however, pales in comparison with her ultimate weapon: the vampire Alucard, who works against his own kind as an exterminator for Hellsing. With his new vampire servant, Seras Victoria, at his side, Alucard must battle not only monsters, but all those who stand to oppose Hellsing, be they in the guise of good or evil.
