I always liked the way they developed Victoria's character in the first series. They put a lot into her reluctance of what she became, and ultimately brought out her character and eventually acceptance really well. She comes off as a worthless idiot in the manga, and doesn't really get focused on. I won't deny that the end of the series was complete and utter garbage, but the way it handled Ceres was good.

I realize she'll probably be marginalized in the OVA's, but its really all about Alucard anyway, isn't it?

Looking forward to the next one.
