Synopsis:

However, despite his actions that help humanity, he finds himself shunned by those he would save. When a girl named Charlotte is kidnapped by the vampire Lord Meier, her father hires D to bring her back - dead or alive.

Hellsing
In present day England, a war is being fought. The average citizen does not notice, but vampires are running rampant among the populace, and it's up to the Hellsing organization to contain the bloodsucker threat, using even their own weapons against them. Alucard, a vampire himself, is the best agent the organization has to offer, answering only to Integra Hellsing herself. No one knows much about this mysterious figure fighting against the occult, but things starts to change after he “recruits” a new agent to the establishment...

add recSo you like vampires? Then take a look at the best vampires series there are! Though it is more realistic in Blood (strength, not story), Hellsing does its best in bringing you the utmost power of true vampires. These are a must see!
If you enjoy the idea of a vampire (or half-vampire in D's case) hunting other vampires, then you will enjoy both Hellsing and Vampire Hunter D. Both also share a sort of similar background idea, but I won't give any spoilers away.
Both are also beautifully animated, truly capturing a dark, gothic (more so in Vampire Hunter D's case) atmosphere.
The main characters of VHD:B and Hellsing are strange and alike. One of them is a good demon/vampire, there is also a girl who wants to be friend with a vampire, a good team of fighters with extraordinary abilities and of course, lots of vampires. :) So if you love good guys fighting bad guys, even if by the end you don't know who is actually good or bad, then both anime are for you.
Both of the main characters in Hellsing and VHD:B have an uncaring side and seem very egocentric at first, have the same indestructible feel (it's more obvious in Hellsing), and the same coolness. Both series have vampires and hunters as well.
A dark and mysterious character, hunter of vampires and more comfortable in the shadows, both D and Alucard are bloodthirsty warriors who have their own reasons for fighting against the vampire hordes that populate their respective worlds. They also both have some pretty unusual and impressive hidden powers, reserved only for the toughest and darkest of enemies, and share too a slight weakness for accommodating or being sympathetic towards young women.
Although D's world is more removed from the more recognizable and moderns locations of Hellsing, they are still both very gloomy and oppressive, with dark terrors waking in hordes at night and never being too far away from threatening the innocent. Strange beasts have been created in both worlds roam the lands in search of fresh blood, but is there something more behind these attacks for our anti-heroes to discover?
Vampire hunter D: Bloodlust and Hellsing show similarity in the fact both vampires are infact on the side of good and fighting against there own kind, they are both action packed and thrilling.

add recThe new generation of Vampire movies has hit, with Blood The Last Vampire. It's one of the more high action vampire movies to date, with plenty of vampire killing action, just like in Bloodlust! If you liked one of these series you are sure to enjoy the other.
Though Vampire Hunter D has a heavier plot, both Vampire Hunter D and Blood share the same purpose: kill those bad vampires running around!
Both anime deal with silent vampire/demon hunters who actually share blood-ties to vampires. Of course this brings an inherent conflict to both the personalities of Saya and D as they go about their job. The plots are equally simple but entertaining, and move at a similar fast pace. The level of gore in one is easily matched by the other. Vampire Hunter D has a more sci-fi/western setting whilst Blood is fixed in today's world, but they both still pull off a similarly atmospheric and dark look, with sophisticated, powerful action thrown in the mix.
Both series tell history about the same race: vampires. They have great scenes of the fights and pretty lines. An additional advantage are interesting, accessory characters. I think, that all people liking dark, blood and want to see good story, they must watch "Blood: The Last Vampire".
Everyone loves vampires! Especially those kind of vampires that are somehow... different. Both Vampire Hunter D and Blood the Last Vampire are dark, mysterious and still unlike other vampire-related anime. Two vampire who hunt vampires/monsters: not a new, but still interesting idea.
Blood+
In world where flesh-eating monsters roam the streets, only one organization has the means to save civilization from annihilation: Red Shield, a specially-organized unit designed to fight these monsters, and the only weapon that can destroy them: Saya. Awakened from a 30-year sleep, Saya is thrust into a modern world which she has no memories of, and is troubled by a past filled only with bloodshed and sadness. With the undying love and support of her family and friends, she struggles to gain the strength to move forward and regain the pieces of her shattered memories.

add recBoth Vampire Hunter D and Blood+ have quite a bit of character development. While D's length means it doesn't have as much of a story as Blood+, it does its best and has a similar feel.
Two apparently reluctant heroes will face demons and vampires in great numbers as they battle their way to the source of the infestation. Expect plenty of gory, bloodthirsty attacks, abnormal creatures, and intriguing battles. Our heroes, Saya and D, will also have to question their own humanity, or perhaps lack of it, as pressure mounts on them to perform to the height of their abilities.
Another comparison to be made between these two is, although the main characters are fond primarily of the sword, you will also get to see a nice variety of guns and explosions too, something that the original D movie did not really concentrate on. But the inclusion of a gang of Bounty Hunters in D: Bloodlust draws favorable comparison with the soldiers of the Red Ring of Blood+.
In the end, both Anime put importance on the blood or bloodlines of both D and Saya. Could be the key to their strength and to their destiny?
Both have beautiful artwork and story. Vampires with swords fighting otherwordly demons and not even breaking a sweat, pure win. Both have a nice dark tone to the story that pulls you in and doesn't creep you away. Recommended that if you enjoyed one, you should check out the other.
Well made action series concentrating on vampires. With outstanding animation, good music and no comedy, these series are one of the most serious I happend to see. If you liked one you will definitelly like the other.

add recThe protagonists in both these anime are half vampire-half human and spend their days hunting demons for a living. Both anime successfully turn the simple concept of demon-slaying into an intriguing plot and couple that with stylish animation. The pace in these anime also feels similar, with both having gorgeous fighting sequences. Claymore is gorier than VHD and Clare is treated with more depth as a character than D (but she's got an entire series to be developed whilst D only has a movie), but the enjoyment levels are still the same.
Both Claymore and VHD:B follow a sole protagonist who is a part of what they hunt - a demon. Therefore their personal journeys also those of self-discovery and relationships are scarce yet essential to character development. Both are investigative, action-packed, bloody, well-choreographed during action sequences and manage to maintain that original manga feel from which they were both created. These are must sees for fans of the supernatural and gapingly-stunning action sequences.
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and Claymore both have main characters that are half vampire half human which spend their days hunting demons for a living. Both series have comparable fighting scenes and emotional values of the main characters. There is a struggle for the main characters to control their emotions and keep them in check, which in turns makes them feared by the people around them.

add recWhy would Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and Hellsing OVA go so well together? The answer is they just do. D and Alucard are two characters that are almost the same. They both fall in love with beautiful women and both have intriguing backgrounds. While Hellsing shows more blood but both do it in a taste full manner. The voices of D and Alucard are done both really done well. The supporting cast for both is exceptional as well as all those characters are both well. If you like vampires and the like then watch both of these serious.
I believe that Vampire hunter D: bloodlust and the Hellsing OVA's are alike because, they both contain some related anime art styles, and have the vampires kiling vampires.i also believe that they share a certain shady side to the main charactors if you enjoy that kind of thing, everyone i know that had seen these two had all enjoyed them both very much and is amongst their favorite animes.
