Description:
In the original Blue Seed (1994), 15-year-old Momiji fulfilled her hereditary destiny by fighting the shape-shifting monsters, the Aragami--with some help from the rakish Kusanagi, who drew supernatural powers from seven implanted mitama (Aragami seeds). The action in this follow-up series shifts between Japan and San Francisco, as a mad scientist creates synthetic Aragami in a clandestine weapons program. The new monsters are bigger and nastier, and a potential rival for Kusanagi's affection turns up: scantily clad Valencia, who has also been implanted with mitama. In the third episode, the plot halts for some fan service while the Terrestrial Administration Center gang tackles a mad bomber at a hot spring. The new crew fails to recapture the appeal of the original series: Momiji is just another whiny "magical girl," and Kusanagi has lost his outlaw charm. (Rated 17 and older: violence, nudity, minor profanity, risqué humor, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon
