Plot Summary: The countdown to extinction begins when the evil shape-shifting monsters known as the Aragami make their grand play to gain control of the earth. Humanity's only chance for survival rests on the shoulders of Momiji, a young girl carrying an unborn Aragami in her chest and Kusanagi, a servant of the Aragami rebelling against his masters in order to ensure mankind's survival. Watch the battle for earth's survival unfold in the groundbreaking anime series, Blue Seed! (from back of perfect DVD collection)
Review: Blue Seed is a big old favorite of mine. One of the last series that I watched entirely dubbed before even watching it in Japanese. When I watched the first few episodes, I was a little skeptical about how much I liked this, but stuck to it because back then anime wasn't so freely accessible. Plus it was about the only thing watchable at one in the morning.
But after a few episodes the characters and the interesting storyline had me hooked until the end. Sure it's pretty straight forward and kind of predictable, but it is different and fun to watch. Be it the awful sound effects or the terrible puns.
Momiji is easy to like as she like most staring leads for magic girl series, is a little clumsy, not so smart, but makes up for it with her courage and big heart. But you see her grow slowly into this amazing woman that . . . well that would be giving away the ending. Just know that you'll be rooting for her all the way through.
Though mostly an action comedy with a supernatural twist there is quite a bit of romance mixed in as well. Almost all characters are paired off near the end, in a cheese kind of way.
It is rare for me to watch anything more then once in a short period of time. And while I haven't watched this recently it's always something I can watch over and over. I recommend that everyone should give this a try, don't have to watch the whole thing. But give it a chance and see if you enjoy it.
