Movie Reviews of Blue Seed - Perfect Collection
Movie Review: WOWY
Summary: 5 Stars
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 of Blue Seed - Perfect Collection
Momiji Fujimiya believes she's just an ordinary Japanese teenager--until she learns that she's actually the hereditary princess Kushinada and her blood is mankind's most powerful weapon against the shape-shifting monsters the Aragami. As the centuries-old war between humanity and the Aragami is heating up, Momiji goes to Tokyo to work with the government agency fighting the monsters. She's joined by the roguish Mamoru Kusanagi: as a child he was kidnapped by a powerful Aragami and given seven souls, or mitama (symbolized by the "Blue Seed" of the title). In battle Kusanagi transforms into a werewolfish version of himself with sword blades in his forearms. He's challenged by the Jim Morrison-esque Murakomo, a servant of the Aragami lords who possesses eight mitama. The plot takes an unsettling turn with the rebirth of the god of darkness, Susano-Oh, whom Murakomo tends with Momiji's twin sister, Kaede--who died in the first episode. The adventures and romance are played against an ecological message that's wrapped in right-wing rhetoric reminiscent of the ultraconservative cabal in Gasaraki: contemporary Japanese culture is damned as "barren," "dead," and "cannibalistic". Although she tends to dither, Momiji never indulges in the whining and tantrums that make many other magical girls so annoying; the dashing Kusanagi assumes the role of protector-lover without losing his outlaw élan as Tamahome does in Fushigi Yugi. Unrated; suitable for ages 12 and up: Violence, minor profanity and sexual humor. --Charles Solomon
