Summary: WOWY
Review: I LUUUUUUUUV this anime. I wish I could give it six stars it's so good. As a matter of fact, this is possibly my favorite show of all time, and I've seen nearly every anime series out there.
The best thing is that this [is a]perfect collection...for all 26 episodes. I have never seen a better deal in my life, with nearly every other boxset out there to date running over a hundred dollars. Ahhh the age we live in, when we used to only be able to buy VHS's with two episodes max. GEEEZ i'm making myself sound like an old man when I'm really a 17 year old girl.

Anyway, I bought this show on a whim because of this cute little boxset being so darn cheap. I was shocked that something so good had taken so long for me to find. I recalled my visits to Video [stores] and seeing a long line of these tapes on the shelves. Then thinking to myself I'll get it next time. Two years later I see this set, decide to buy it, and loved it.

For one thing I love the way it starts off monster of the week (people make it sound like this is a bad thing) and grows to a more complex and involved story. COOL!! shootin down the demon things is always fun to watch. What surprised me the most though was how funny this show is. I was prepared for something more along the lines of, I dunno Boogiepop, Vampire princess Miyu, something kinda gory and dreary. Instead I was treated to lotsa humour. I swear I was falling outta my seat at times. And those Omake theatres were pretty funny too. Especially the ones on the last two discs.

Oh oh oh and don't forget the love story between the two main characters. Those two make a such a darn cute couple I can't stand it. You want them to hook up so bad, at times, you're ready to sledge hammer the tv . This story is just so involving. Oh the dub is really excellent as well. I mean of course the japanese cast do a great job, can't go wrong with Megumi, but I found myself growing more attached to the english as the show progressed. If you have never seen this show then please, do not hesitate to run out and get it right awy.

Summary: BEST EVER
Review: I think that Blue Seed is 1 of the best japanese anime i ever saw. i think it has the whole package for a perfect anime. it has romance,comedy,and action packed and many other emotions or something like that. i'm also glad that this anime stays on 1 topic, not like the other ones i've seen that skip from 1 topic to another. My favorite character would have to be Momoru Kusanagi. For 1 thing hes very funny but serios at the same time. And another hes very strong and cute. i think the people who havent watched Blue Seed before, should because its very interesting and very easy to understand at first.

Summary: An older, but solid and enjoyable series
Review: I've watched this series through before (on these DVDs) in Japanese with subtitles. I haven't watched the English dub but I'm familiar with the dub talent and I'm sure they're fine. The Japanese voice talent comprises some famous Japanese voice actors and actresses, many of which I'm fond of.

Basically, this series is kind of old, early 90's in Japan, but it's a very solid and enjoyable series. It's about a long-hidden race called the Aragami and their attempt to retake Japan, and a group of people called the TAC who try to prevent this. At the center of these efforts is a young girl named Momiji who has part of an Aragami fused with her during the first episode. At the center of the Aragami's efforts are Momiji's sister Kaede and their Lord, Susan-oh. It also raises questions at points on whether Japan is worth saving, whether humanity is more deserving than the Aragami or not. I thought times like that in the series were poignant.

I would advise though that the series is about a PG-13 rating in content (the first episode being a bit more risque than the rest of the series in general, though). The Omake Theater bonus humor bits, however, should be shown to children with caution, as some of them are R-rated in content whereas the series is, as I said, PG-13ish.

I enjoyed the story of this series and the ride I went through watching through it (I didn't own it at the time), and I've been awaiting this boxed set to buy the whole series at a discount. As of this writing, I'll be buying this collection sometime next week. I enjoyed it, and you might as well, if any of the content description above made you curious to learn more. Remember the content ratings I gave though, if you are considering purchasing this for children (or are a child yourself).

I hope I was able to provide some useful information to you.

Summary: Best anime ever!
Review: The blue seed collection has to be the best dvd to ever be purchased. once you watch one episode, you dont want to stop! The story is about a young 15 year old girl named Momiji Fujimia who is a clutz and lives with her grandma and mother.She had been purifying herself since the 5th grade b/c of her grandma's comands, but never really knew why. But she finds out when a man with 4 eyebrows and 7 blue mitamas on his hands, and chest tries to kill her. She is saved by the TAC who tries to kill the bad guys in the story, called Aragami. The man who tried to kill Momiji actually turns back to what he's supposed to do, which is to protect the Kushinada. Momiji actually has a twin sister who was killed and so now the man (Kusanagi) has to protect Momiji. The story has many twists and turns and has OMAKE in the extras wich is just a riot. The story also has a cute romance in it, and lots of humor. It's great for probably 13/14 and up. Just because they need to be old enough to understand the story b/c you have to pay attention to get it. This is an awesome buy!

Summary: Historical shinto theme with balance results in great series
Review: This anime is about the return of a traditional monster awakening and despite all of our modern technology, the traditional solution may be necessary to take care of it.

You may like this anime for the following reasons:
(1) This is the anime for Shinto traditions. There are many traditional Shinto themes in this anime. From festivals honoring local spirits to the monsters themselves. This is quite a trip for a western viewer. Somewhat educational too.

(2) Very balanced anime here. There is considerable action, but not too much. Some relationship twists, but again not too much. Plus it has a real plot, and it's allowed to develop and conclude. Several puzzles are uncovered and their answers are not obvious and it doesn't descend into just finding and solving puzzles. There is also some echi (naughty) humor, but again not too much. So this series is perfectly balanced between the "shoujo" (girls anime) and the "shonen" (boys anime. Good universal appeal.

(3) This box set gives you alot of anime for the dollar!

(4) The sub voice actress is Megumi Hayashibara. She does a great job with the Momiji character. If you know her history, she gets to be in many of the great anime series, so this series is to be included in that elite list.

Overall, it's definately something worth watching.

Summary: BLUE SEED IS AWSOME
Review: This anime is one of the best I have ever seen. The story is just amazing with all its twists and plots but it is not to hard to understand unlike Evagalion which is a little akward if u don't watch the entire series. Anyway The story is your general action/adventure/romance/drama as far as animes are concerned except it has a few twist. First it is one of about 2 dozen anime based off actual myth. Secondly the love triangle between Kusinagi, Momiji and Kaeda is intense. and lastly the Animation is top-notch for an oldie. I recommend this to any anime young and old and hope u enjoy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: COOL Anime, kind of cute, and the voice actings were...
Review: This anime is very interesting... at least with good storyline, AMAZING story and the love-comedy thing make this anime a JOY to watch.
DO NOT watch this anime if you are searching for LARGE BUDGETS ANIMES like Akira, Spirited Away or X because this one is very bad with the animation and the graphics(comparing with other animes).

The Japanese track was very good, I really liked the voices of Kusanagi and Momiji but I heard BETTER voices of Megumi Hayashibara(Momiji)like Pai(3x3 Eyes) and Lina(Slayers), anyway my favorite voice of Hayashibara is Pai.

The English track was VERY BAD, the worst voices were Momiji and Kusanagi because those two sounded like jerks and the other voices were stupid, the worst part was when Momiji is singing with Sakura . I heard better dubs in english like Battle Angel and Akira's first dub, I hope the dubbing people make a better work next time.

The Spanish track was very nice, I REALLY enjoyed the voice of Momiji (for me, it was better than the japanese voice)and the other voices were good as the japanese. What I didn't like about this dub is that the dialoge was worst than the enlish dub because they change a lot of things that the characters had to say.

Sayonara,adios,goodbye

Summary: A Great Deal
Review: This anime series is a great deal for the price of the boxed set. Not only is it one of my favorite series that I have the honour to own, it has some of the best best DVD extras I've ever seen (anyone who has seen these will remember omake theater for all time ^_^)

If you haven't seen Blue Seed and you liked such series as Inuyasha and 3x3 Eyes, then I would highly recommend you buy this series.
