it should first be say that i have read the manga and therefore my argument be base on the difference . this anime greatly disappoint me because it remove the comedy and high quality action of the manga and ovum . what it leave behind be merely a husk of what it could have be . many of the character lack the depth that be see in the manga . alucard be not the sympathetic character that secretly wish for death . walter story lack the betrayal . and the nazi villain that plot to engulf the world in war be completely absent . instead and the anime provide the gary stu villain incognito who be defeat against what appear to be all odds . my primary complaint be not that the anime diverge from the manga and but that it do such a poor job .
