Product Description

Amazon.com

In the original Blue Seed (1994), 15-year-old Momiji fulfilled her hereditary destiny by fighting the shape-shifting monsters, the Aragami--with some help from the rakish Kusanagi, who drew supernatural powers from seven implanted mitama (Aragami seeds). The action in this follow-up series shifts between Japan and San Francisco, as a mad scientist creates synthetic Aragami in a clandestine weapons program. The new monsters are bigger and nastier, and a potential rival for Kusanagi's affection turns up: scantily clad Valencia, who has also been implanted with mitama. In the third episode, the plot halts for some fan service while the Terrestrial Administration Center gang tackles a mad bomber at a hot spring. The new crew fails to recapture the appeal of the original series: Momiji is just another whiny "magical girl," and Kusanagi has lost his outlaw charm. (Rated 17 and older: violence, nudity, minor profanity, risqué humor, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware those who enjoyed the original!

I brought this because I really enjoyed Blueseed. I fell in love with the characters and the storyline! You can imagine my utter boredom while watching this supposed "Blueseed Beyond". None of the characters are developed, the guy who made this was riding off of the characterization in the original Blueseed. The story was very unengaging and went very fast ... maybe it went so fast because there wasn't much storyline at all. This sequel lacks the emotion and genius the first one had. They changed the voices ... if you thought Momiji's voice was annoying in the first one, wait till you hear it in this second one! The actors who did the voices lacked the passion of the original actors. All in all the frist two episodes that dealt with the Aragami sucked, but the third one that had nothing to with the Aragami was fantastic ... that's said considering Blueseed's focus was destroying the Aragami. It could have been MUCH better!

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, yet...
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2003
I'm a fan of the Blue Seed series and was delighted to hear that they were putting out this OVA on dvd. As far as sequels go it was decent if unspectacular. Maybe if they had made the episodes longer or had had more of them it might have been able to flesh the story out a bit more, it kind of felt rushed. Some of the humor of the original series is missing here and also some of the heart. Please don't get the idea that I didn't like this...I'm glad I bought it, I was just hoping for a little bit more..oompf.

If you're a fan or even seen the original Blue Seed, just run quickly away from this second series. It was positively horrid! Forget the action, the majority of this Seed seems to focus on annoying would be love connection between Momiji and Kusinagi (keyword being annoying!).

2.0 out of 5 stars very weak DVD
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2003
First, I payed $17,99 for the DVD - and don't pay more! As the first review says, the artwork improved, but so much got worse. Some voices have changed and the story (3 episodes, 2 stories) are very weak. New Aragami and new Girl appear somehow in Japan, then USA, then government talks about the bad relationship between USA and Japan. Japan helps USA fighting the Aragami. Momiji caught by Aragami. Very quick and easy termination of master Aragami - story over! Third episode even more stupid. All the girls went bathing. Out of a sudden there is a bomb in the pool - from a terrorist who wants money. No Aragami anywhere. Episode ends as stupid as it has begun.
Extras on DVD: Some trailers and a new episode of the omake theater - but no fun at all.
I got the Blue Seed Collection and enjoyed it. But this new DVD was only made for money making ;-(
