Hellsing (Character Profiles)

Hellsing OVA Episode 1:



For this task I chose to write about the television show 'Hellsing'. This show is personally one of my all time favourites. I think that this show is aimed at older teenagers- mainly teenage boys between the ages of 15-21. I think this because the story line is about the 'Hellsing Organization' who battle against ghouls and enemy vampires to protect the British public. This will appeal to the target audience because in the episodes there is a lot of iconography used that will stereo typically appeal to a male audience (For example: Guns, blood, knives, swords etc) 
This show is definitely aimed at an older audience because there is a lot of violence and blood/ gore shown which would not be appropriate for a young audience. Also there are scenes that are of a sexual nature, which would not be appropriate for a younger audience.
