Hellsing OVA update

According to a news update on AnimeOnDVD, the new Hellsing OVA is due to begin in Japan at the end of this year. The OVA (which is set to be based more on the manga than the original TV series) is featuring input from the manga author Kouta Hirano. The project is said to be considered as open-ended until the manga ends, although a three year run, with episodes lasting 35 minutes is the estimate.
