If you're into some major action as well as a little romance, then
you'll definately enjoy this series. Blue Seed is about a regular highschool
girl named Momiji who finds out that she is actually a Kushinada, a legendary
maiden who has the power to destroy the Aragami, which are monsters that are
plaguing Japan -- if she sacrifices herself, that is. However, if she is killed
by the Aragami, then the Aragami will take over Japan, and perhaps the world.
Well, at least that's what I *think* the plot is about. I watched the entire
series in two 7-hour time blocks (not recommended!), so by the end my mind got
kinda fuzzy. Momiji is protected by a government agency called the TAC, as well
as a mysterious man called Kusanagi who she later falls in love with.
This 26-episode series is really awsome: there's romance, monsters, cool
fighting, comedy, a crazy idol-wannabe, and much more! I also heard that ADV
films is going to release Blue Seed 2 soon -- I've already seen the first
episode, and yup, the Aragami are back. The second story arc also delves deeper
into Momiji and Kusanagi's relationship as Kusanagi finds out that he's not the
only one of his species (he's half human, half Aragami), and Momiji thinks he's
cheating on her.
