Summary: Oldie but an extreamly goodie
Review: This is one of my personal favorite animes of all time. It's full of action,romance,and at many times very funny. The story tells of a world where monsters have come about and that only one girl can save the world by killing herself thus, killing the monsters. But if the monsters kill her in a special way (not going to tell) they won't be killed and have no worries of being killed. This anime is rated about PG-13 due to violence,brief nudity,and racy humor. The violence at sometimes is pretty graphic. But the nudity is pretty light,yet, their are many panty shots in it. Yet, their is light R-rated Omake Theater in it which should not be shown to young children. Overall though this is one of the best animes ever made. Trust me, you will love this anime.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: More cream than chaff
Review: This is probably your quittisential anime series, and if your random shortsighted critic of anime saw it they would probably think their criticisms well founded. It's goofy, the typical anime expressions and silliness are rampant (googly eyes, sweat/tear drops half the size of their heads, goofy love sub-plots, many underwear shots and jokes), extremely violent in places (many of the evil creatures and the methods they die, although they are plants so they usually bleed green), and an overly labored and confusing plot (blue seeds needed to gain power to kill evil plants, but are the evil plants bad? and is the bad guy really bad? and what's with the girl that was the main character's friend? and the main character has to die but can't be killed by the bad guys...wha???). Anyway, yes there are a lot of points to take criticism with this, and I'm pretty glad this isn't representative of all anime. Nevertheless, still a fun series with lots of humor and action, and a great time-killer, so if you're looking for another good anime series to start on you can do worse. Be wary though, you might want to take notes considering the excessive amount of characters, many similar sounding Japanese names, and plot convolutions...

Summary: AWESOME!
Review: This series is very exciting in many ways. When my bro. bought it, we watched the whole series in 2 days! It's very exciting and you don't want to wait for the next episode, you just want to keep going and going.It also includes the OMAKE which is HALARIOUS. If you are debating on to get this or not, GET IT. it's sooooo worth the money. it's actually a good deal on amazon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can't be faulted
Review: Thoug hthe animation appears a little substandard by todays quality and frame rate, the series is excellent and released at a very low price. If you are to buy one anime bow set, add this to your shortlist, you won't be disappointed with the [money] price tag.

A must for Takado Yuzo fans everywhere.

Summary: Action and Humor.....and a bit of Fanboy pleasure
Review: To those who have waited for ADV to get around to it the patience is rewarded. Although not in the league of Evangelion Blue Seed those carve its own niche with a deft bit of humor interspread with the action filled story. Although the characters are stock (klutzy heroine, tortured hero, though a twist with the weapons freak being female is a nice touch). Fanboys will enjoy the generous "service" shots slipped in though nothing warranting strict adult control. The omake theater segments are especially enjoyable if you understand the cultral humor and inside jokes of the plot. All in all a nice addition.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Upbeat Anime
Review: Usually when it comes to such a dire story as the one portrayed in Blue Seed, the characters are dark and the story extremely cold and serious. But Blue Seed stands out as being able to have a sense of humor throughout the series. It strikes a balance between a "kid" focused anime and a "thinker" anime, what with the very funny characters involved, and the story's obvious opinion about modern Japan. Voiced by Megumi Hayashibara, Momiji is an endearing character with a good heart, if kinda air-headed personality. I recommend this anime.

This DVD set is pretty cool, with a HUGE number of episodes per disc considering the usual is 3, with the first disc in a series having 4. Very cost effective way to own a whole series. The English dub wasn't as eye watering as is usualy for anime (my opinion anyway). The Omake Theater was something that first surprised me, then made me laugh out loud. Character bios were pretty decent, explaining the names and other personality traits. This set is something I recommend buying.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definitely an anime to remember!
Review: Video: 5/5
Little to no pixellation. >othing I remember, but I've probably forgotten something. For 6 Episodes a disc, ADV should be congratulated on such a good job.

Audio: 5/5
Nothing I noticed.

Boxart: 4/5
The Perfect Collection appearance is fantastic. Although, the images on both the discs and the boxart is a little lower than average, and better pictures could have been used instead.

Content: 5/5
This series is fantastic. GO SAKURA! lol. A must for any action anime fan. Although, there are quite a few violent instances, and a major humor factor is the lead character, Fujimiya Momoji, and her ever-changing panties. lol, little sexual inuendo, and heavy, sometimes graphic, animated violence.

Overall: 5/5
As stated above, a must buy for any action anime fan.
