Why does Helck look like Hunter x Hunter?

I coulndt find anything about it coming from the same studio. As written on MAL, Helck is from Satelight and hxh is from Madhouse.

Helck Blu Ray Question

Hey guys, so I saw the Blu-ray set is set to come out next month, and it appears to have the English dub. However, I noticed HiDive is still releasing the dubs weekly. Would that Blu-ray set have a different dub or would it still be the same dub as HiDive? Just curious

Helck dub

Might be an unpopular opinion but just started watching helck after all this time and man I’m loving this dub dialogue. It’s funny af. When vermilio said “aw shit yeah” in episode 10 I lost it.

What the Helck?!

So in episode 5, V... Anne from management is fishing and when Helck leaps from above she says "Helck..." but while working with the dub's audio in the background, she says, "What the Helck?!"

I am now adamantly convinced that his name is a fusion of the H and F words.

In episode 5, when it cuts back to Azudra from the island... Isn't that music from Star Wars?

Pretty sure that is music that was used in Star Wars, but I have no idea what it is called.

The writers for the Helck dub are clearly having fun

This isn’t even the hardest I laughed that episode. Piwi’s actress is killing me. Apologies for the poor video quality. Hidive blocked screen recordings on iPad and iPhone and I didn’t know how else to share.

Is it true that helck has shown tremendous sales overseas?

I was casually reading an article about ”Japanese anime selling well overseas” and was very surprised by the following sentence.

Then there is "Helck," an anime that has been airing in the Tuesday late-night anime slot and has shown tremendous sales overseas. It is an anime adaptation of Shogakukan's digitally serialized comic series. It is planned and produced by NTV, and has achieved the best results ever for the Tuesday late-night slot.

I would be very happy if it were true, but it is difficult for me to confirm its source. If anyone knows anything about it, please let me know.

Really enjoyed Helck. Here's to hoping.

Man. Helck the anime was basically a love letter to the manga... which unfortunately doesn't have the greatest formula for getting it a season 2 or 2 and a half to get to the full story conclusion. Read the whole thing a while ago, so I don't need to watch it really, but here's to hoping they secure a budget for it. Really wonder if there's any chance of English sub Blu-ray or DVD release too... an official one, I mean.

New to Helck and binged the anime in like 3 days. Liked it a lot, wondering what’s the difference between it and the manga?

So quick tangent before the question. I started watching Helck because of the dub, then I kept reading it get compared to berserk so that got me extra intrigued. Episode 3 of the dub pushed me over and I just finished the show. I understand the comparisons. They’re warranted right down to the animation not being great. Sorry sorry. Look not trying to be mean it’s just it was getting really annoying during the backstory episodes and it would be really tense and then the broken tip of the sword would just drag and flip like an abridged series or inferno cop gag.

Anyway despite that I enjoyed the series a lot. Characters were fun, especially Helck himself. Voice acting and the music was good too. Despite my earlier complaints I think the first few episodes utilized the lower budget the most effectively. Then again it could also be the case that the dubbed episodes have the Blu-ray footage and the sub is stuck with the broadcast footage.

Regardless, I will definitely read the manga to find out how it ends.

Onto the question, I’ve read some of the old threads on here that the anime is considered bad. As someone who hasn’t read the manga I wanted to know what the differences were. Yes that includes possible spoilers for the manga if the anime left anything out of what was covered.

Season 1 fizzled out towards the end.

Just wondering if any of you felt the same disappointment and lack of enthousiasm with the Anime around episode 20?

I felt there was a real dip in pacing after Helck shares his backstory, and the titular character is missing from 3 of the the last 4 episodes.

If you answered yes, how will the Empire get involved in Volundio?

No idea maybe helck helcks all over them

Sorry I forgot what Empire is but I trust they will make an appearance

FOURTH HEAVENLY KING

Techncally Kohaku being involved already makes the Empire involved. Besides that, potentially more with Morkana/WotW

I definitely see one of the other heavenly kings appearing late into the manga

The conflict will eventually expand to the point at which it can no longer be ignored by the Empire. Would be a cool way to reintroduce the other Heavenly Kings into the story and maybe even show us the last one.

No clue yet

Cleo will have to take Kohaku to the empire to save her

Economic warfare

The other Heavenly Kings are gonna show up, having dealt with WotW before

The "death" of a heavenly king + volundio and lunathea seem to be too big of a deal to ignore

Any news about a season 2 of the anime? If not then what do you guys think is the likelihood of Helck getting a 2nd season?

Fans should make an abridged version of the series

Since there's been so much complaining about pacing and cliffhangers, they could take up the challenge and fix it.
