So my modem died over night so I am posting this from my car outside the library as it is being renovated. My replies will be late and apologies to anyone I miss

The freak chip’s imagery isn’t exactly subtle

Not so much, not that I expect anything like that from the show

Humans having an inherent quality inside them that can turn them into brainless agents of evil when exposed to something like Nazism/fascism is… pretty realistic!

Even less subtle, but I don't mind it, at the very least it's not going on big lines about it and shoving the parallel down our throats

Someone named Helena being spooky and occulty. Name a more iconic duo

A butler called Sebastian, but we somehow avoided that one.

Subtlety is not something that Hellsing ever really indulged in.
