Question
I would like to know if the following animes will be coming back with new episodes and released in the USA. They were fantastic, ended in one season and seemed to be open ended for a second season, but I cannot find the answer:

Hellsing, Gunslinger Girl, Elfen Leid

Answer
Hellsing is only thirteen episodes and was aired in Japan in 2001 and in the US two years later in 2003. The series is finished though there is an OVA out, and all of it should, to my knowledge, be licensed and have been released for quite sometime now.

Gunslinger girl is also a thirteen episode series and there is up and coming news that a new gunslinger girl anime will be made, but no dates are set and nothing is known on whether it will be an anime or an OVA. The entire series has also been on release in the US and is also available for download on iTunes, according to Wikipedia.

Elfen Lied is also 13 episodes and has been released in the US since 2005. It is a complete series and no news about new episodes has spouted, same with Hellsing.

I can answer many questions such as who voice acted for such and such, or when did blah blah air first in America, or perhaps, can I get a review on this anime, or when will this anime come out. I`m happy to answer any and all questions to the best of my knowledge and online research. I've watched and read series from the ever popular Sailor Moon and Naruto to practically unknown titles such as Detroit Metal City and Tokyo Marble Chocolate.
