I was both surprised and excited to see a Blu Ray release of Blue Seed. As an older anime, shows like Blue Seed are sometimes forgotten because they didn’t obtain the level of popularity like properties such as Cowboy Bebop or Evangelion. This lack of popularity is not a reflection of the show quality. Created by Yuzo Takada (3x3 eyes) the show is steeped in Japanese folklore and tells the story of a young girl named Momijo who must protect Japan along with her her teammates the TAC against the evil creatures the Aragami. The show is a lot of fun with its twists, turns, humor, and action.
The Blu-Ray presented here is in standard definition. The entire 26 episodes of the series, plus OVAs “Blue Seed and Beyond”, and omake theater are included along with both Japanese and English audio. The blu Ray features gorgeous Yuzo Takada artwork and comes in a slip case featuring artwork from the show. My only complaint is the quality of the video itself. Being a standard definition presentation and the show being created in the late 90s I didn’t expect a shiny looking show. I was however bummed to see video tape lines when the scenes changed and in some cases shakey images. I wish I had my old ADV dvds to compare.
Overall a nice set marred by poor video. I’m not sure I could recommend based on the quality of the video but the actual blu Ray packaging is quite nice.
