I couldn't help but notice that they don't look quite right. It it is either a strong hazy effect or a lower resolution. All i can say it 1-4 looks of a higher resolution in the more remastered scenes than 5-7 and 8+9 look significantly sharper and cleaner. I checked the Japanese 5-7 blu-ray and it seems to be the exact same thing.
I didn't notice this before as had I poor vision, but no glasses at the time.
Hey I noticed this post has been getting views, but no replies. I just want you to be aware I am not trolling nor do I think it looks bad. I am just asking if it was a hazy effect or of lower resolution than most anime that came out after 2008.
I dunno, but 5-8 seemed fairly crisp to me, especially in Blu-ray.

It appears as though one of the reviewers on Blu-ray.com brought up similar points.

"Hellsing Ultimate Volumes 5 – 8 is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of FUNimation Entertainment with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.78:1. As was discussed in the review of the first volume of this release, FUNimation has the odd habit of describing their licensed content as "HD native" even if the source elements were initially SD, but were "pre-upconverted" to HD before FUNimation attained rights to them. There's no question that the first Hellsing Ultimate OVAs were SD, but one would assume that at least the later ones included on this set were native HD (meaning really native HD). That said, the animation style here tends to favor a kind of gauzy softness, especially in some of the more graphic and gruesome scenes, as if slightly "smearing" the image (for want of a better description) might help the blood and guts go down more easily. Other elements of this presentation are clearly more precise and better defined than the first set, with exceptionally strong line detail and very nicely saturated colors. Overall, this is a step up from the first Hellsing Ultimate set, but not a huge quantum leap."
