Blue Seed walked so stories like Inuyasha could run. This series is almost entirely episodic until about episode 19. The manga was only 2 volumes long, and it really shows, because it feels like this entire series stretched out a few threads of story with its episodic nature. Some people may like this narrative choice, but for me, it really dragged the pacing down to almost a crawl.
The tone of the show is half serious, half 90s comedy. If you want to watch this for its nostalgic 90s direction, humor, music, and animation, it definitely has that going for it. Some episodes are much more violent and sexual than others, it really feels like a “90s OVA” at times in those respects. It’s odd, because the story and romance almost feels childish in comparison. It does not mesh very well with th…

This was one saturday morning anime u wouln´d miss, or for the rest of the day u were bored.And its right that a lot of ppl like this serie´s because in many ways its quite well done, good thing i rewatched it some days ago, teleporting me back to the 90´s for all i care. Mainly i like it because it starts strong & ends strong and fitting, putting a MILEWIDE smile to my face!Storywise it proresses well, untill the last 6 episodes that has the unexcpected twists and turns, but still connects to the story,and all of the madness loosed at once, handdrawn ppl, thats still 90's anime and i grew up with it, the nice gritty shady recording version i NEVER EVER throw away. Persona have all and interesting backstory from the heroes and villians alike without a damn rushed boring whatever.....

I loved the story. It mirror’s the real folklore even if it is in the here and now. I don’t really like Momiji much. She seems a lot like a whiny little bitch that gets what she wants. She is always getting into trouble and needing someone to save her. She does grow but I don’t think enough. I always get mixed up between the name Kushinada and Kusanagi. They are way to similar and I wish that I wish they could have changed his name so I wouldn’t have that problem. Sadly, its part of the manga as well and so it’s really Yuzo Takada’s fault. There is a lot of talking and when it does get to the fighting, it lacks much in drawing me in. The reason I love this story though is the underlining Romance. It has a lot of couples, from the high school crush to the adult business man love. I also lik…

Blue Seed makes for a decent series, though it does have some bumps one has to get past before getting to much of the show's better stuff in later episodes. While the early episodes do their part in introducing the characters and the show's premise with Momiji being targeted by the Aragami, many of the episodes tend to follow a "monster of the day" style plot where a random Aragami is killing off parts of the human populace with Momiji, Kusanagi and the members of TAC tasked with killing off said threat. Some of the episodes do feature focus on one of the TAC members. But otherwise, the "monster of the day" setup tends to get repetitive after a while. The show's implementation of comedy also came across as a bit hit or miss for me. For instance, I did enjoy some of Sawaguchi's destructive…

Blue Seed was one of the animes that helped me to leave the Tom & Jerry phase.I watched it many years ago on the old action channel{now starz action}when they had their ani-midnight anime block and this anime have stayed with me ever since.

This is my favorite anime so it may be biased.
Story: I love the story, early on the show is monster of the week but about half way through it because one straight story. It is mainly about how heritage is ignored in modern society and on this note; they never go overboard and mix in enough action that it is usually moving forwards.
Art: The show's art is a little dated and the colors seemed to be faded but monster design, animation, and the actual art, such as backgrounds and character designs were done quite well.
Sound: The score of this anime is done by Kenji Kawaii, also known for Ghost in the Shell, if you liked his work there as I have, you will like it here, from the upbeat going to school them, to the tragic theme, it varied and all done masterfully.
The voice acting in the US…
