I imagine they'll feature music videos during the commercial breaks to pad out the time slot for the tenth OVA. They did that with the EVA Movie premieres and during the month of movies past December. Regarding 1,3,4,8,9 they said on their tumblr page

I would have thought Hellsing Ultimate would have been to violent, but it's good they'll find a way. I've already seen all 10, but I'm glad others will be able to enjoy it as much as I did. Hopefully this will bring a complete set to market sooner rather than later. I'd love to replace my Geneon discs with a nice single boxset rather than a 3 piece set.

I kinda doubt this is gonna work. for one thing its like 60 mins long per ep. not to mentioned that their is gonna be a shitload amounts of censoring that AS will have to do in order to be compliance with both its standards and practices as well as the FCC rules and regulations. the TV series for hellsing?maybe. but definitely not the OVA. |

Cable TV doesn't deal with the FCC, just their own S&P. Your other concerns have already been answered in this thread, I believe. http://toonami.tumblr.com/post/95555231906/guess-what-hellsing-ultimate-is-coming-to |

Toonami is going to air Hellsing Ultimate? Lets see how they will the content because I really do think the really graphic dismemberments and on screen rape may pose a potential problem unless if it airs really and I mean really late at night that hopefully, parents won't watch it by then.

oh that is what i though but considering that i have an uncle who is a former army sgt who is now an FCC insider is saying otherwise. sure they usually dont get involved with cable tv and what they show , but they do when ONLY necessary. that wardrobe malfunction was more than enough proof that when it comes to broadcasting whether its local or cable they have reigns. its only premium channels like HBO they dont have control over. The only time and i mean only is when a broadcast channel shows something that is inappropriate and enough people complain about it is when they will drop the hammer and issue fines. some of them will be public like with the wardrobe malfunction, other fine get posted in the public domain. like it or not releasing the OVA is a major gamble 7for AS especially when it comes around for Vol 7 cause if they release any of that questionable content without any editing, better believe parental advocates are gonna complain like there is no tomorrow which will unfortunately cause the FCC to act in order to save face. |

Proof on public broadcast does not extend to proof on cable. The infamous wardrobe malfunction was during the Super Bowl, which is always on public broadcast. The FCC mainly deals with free public airwaves. Very rarely do they get involved with private pay-in cable - they don't have the mandate as a public government entity. |

Regardless on whether or not the FCC regulates cable channels, Hellsing Ultimate will be playing during the "safe harbor" hours, which is when stuff with sexual content and foul language can be played (violence is apparently not restricted to certain times). For reference, "safe harbor" is 10pm-6am.

true but its as i said. the eating of babies by nazi vampires. not to mentioned those "monsters" raping the corpse of seras's dead mother definitely wont fly well with a lot of people if they show that. the only way it would is that they change the S&P to give AS the same broadcasting rights as IFC. at least that is what my uncle said. dont be surprised if they edit those content. and if they do show it dont be surprised that the FCC give turner broadcasting a fine which will of course will be published in the FCC's public domain even though it wont make news in the media. |

The only thing I could see them censoring is the F-bombs, they did that with Black Lagoon I believe. If it's on really late when kids are asleep, I wonder if they'll censor some of the later OVA episodes. |

(yes, I know it's late at night, I just still find it funny)
