lol, I love the look on his face in today's strip. Utter Disappointment One can only imagine what he REALLY wants to do if she were to release him...

Oh, right. Yes. The bit where he hides was taken from that short story. Too bad they didn't keep the method by which they found it.

Actually, the whole movie could've been better if Dr. Calvin was the main character and she was investigating robot mysteries. Make it more a suspense/mystery rather than action.

Lol. I agree the movie is pretty lame compared to the book, but I still like it . I don't like Dr. Calvin in the movie at all though; she was boring.

Hang on, this just occured to me: Integra doesn't get a Star Wars reference, but she can understand an Isaac Asimov one?

I think that particular Star Wars reference was kind of a stretch. Even I didn't get it, and I was raised on Star Wars. :'D

Are we talking about the Star Wars fan club that Walter turned up when researching "Millennium", or a different Star Wars reference?

Yup. Or, I am at least.

That'd be easy to explain: Asimov is considered literature, so she probably read one or two of his books as a kid. Star Wars is considered more "pop SF," so it's unlikely she'd have made time for it in her studies. Remember that she didn't have a childhood like you or me and as a result isn't much of a geek.

Given her tendencies toward fierce independence, though, she probably would've liked Heinlein's books.

Or maybe Kouta Hirano just wanted to throw in a Star Wars reference.

Equally likely.

And, yay for getting Erin to draw Rippy's alarm clock.

Heinkel: Hellsing's equivalent to the arc of the covenant *geeks out with some indy*

*snerk*

Sorry, I realize it may not be the main joke, but the thought of a character named Rip van Winkle going to a mad scientist due to something concerning her alarm clock is just hilarious

Anyway, this does indeed help us in the quest to discover Heinkel's gender. He definitely saw something there that exciting him (although it may have just been him getting off on discovering something heretofore unknown). Now only if we knew Herr Doctor's sexuality...

If you open her, your face melts. Which must be pretty inconvenient.

Make of that what you will.

On one hand, we know he likes anime babes thanks to Hirano's extra artwork of him and the Major at Comiket. On the other hand, he created Schroe, a pinup boy for shouta lovers everywhere.

Looks like his nose bleed doesn't answer the question at all! (Which is, of course, exactly how I intended it.)

How many tests does it take to find Heinkel's gender?
One..
Two...
Three..
BOOM!!!

The world may never know.

HEINKEL BLINDED HIM WITH SCIENCE!!!!

I'm sure is true hermaphroditism

(views latest strip)

Boy, if the grass is complaining about the Geese trampling it, I hate to think what they do when it comes time to fertilize the lawn.

Wait... if the flowers confer the power to defeat demons, just what is that implying about the fangirl portal, and by extension, fangirls?

Awww...Alucard clings to one of small humanities he has left...and makes a touching gesture towards Integra...Only one thing to say to that...

SHOT DOWN COLD!!!! BURN!!! THAT'S GOTTA HURT!!!!

...Take your pick.

He should've used his other pickup line: "It's a great night for hunting!" then invited Integra to come with him to munch on ghouls.
