Whoah... lets look at this again for a moment.
First off... the name Hellsing is a family name that also happens to be the name of the protagonist in the original Dracula. I don't see how this title could be constued as something bad based on the name alone.
Secondly, did we watch entirely different series? Plotless anime with lots of gore? There is a rich story involved between the female lead and Alucard (I personally hate that name, it's been done so many times). I'm not going to call it one of the greatest stories of all time but I will say that it is better than a lot of the more popular titles I see. No it isn't a straightforward adventure where you can mark the events that happen. It's more about the growth of the woman and the people around Alucard learning to deal with him.
Now the other point... how do you decide between Hellsing and Marmalade Boy. Both are excellent examples of their own genres but totally different in just about every conceivable way other than the fact that they are both animated series from japan.
Hellsing is a subtle story buried beneath lots of action and bloodshed.
Marmalade Boy is a fairly straightforward situational comedy/romance series that is well done.
Pick whichever you're in the mood to sit through. Keep in mind that MB is a LOT longer than Hellsing.
