Oh, btw, can I ask you something? I've read somewhere that some people in Romania didn't like the fact that Vlad Dracula was made into a vampire by Bram Stoker... Is that true? I'm curious...
That's partially true.Most romanians don't like the fact that Vlad Tepes/The Impaler in english (named Dracula) was made into a vampire thing book.Vlad Tepes was the voivode of Wallachia(later Romania),he is known for the fact he impaled the thiefs,his enemies and so on.He was cruel but correct.
The novel Dracula is only inspired by his name and origins,but it doesn't have anything to do with the original story/history.Most strangers confuse them and really believe that he was a vampire or something,which is not even near the truth.
Since you say you like Hellsing, I guess you're not one of them, right? I've read a biography of Dracula, it really fascinated me! I decided to learn some Romanian, and then come visit the places of Vlad Tepes!
I don't have any problem with the association,but I'm a little 'meh' when I hear them really believing that Vlad Tepes was Dracula xD,it's silly,but anyway.I like Hellsing because it's a great anime with nice action and story,I didn't care at first that it had to do with this,I just liked it.
