Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1Audience Rating: Unrated Binding: DVD EAN: 9781578131242 Format: Animated, Color, Dubbed, DVD-Video, Subtitled, NTSC ISBN: 1578131243 Label: Adv Films Languages: Manufacturer: Adv Films Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Adv Films Region Code: 1 Release Date: October 02, 2001 Running Time: 145 minutes Studio: Adv Films Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The war against the Aragami, metamorphic plant monsters, reaches its climax in a battle that pits 15-year-old Momiji Fujimiya, the hereditary Princess Kushinada, and her friends against her twin sister Kaede, the sinister Murakumo, and the reborn god Susano-Oh. The struggle transcends the human versus monsters conflict to become a debate over the increasing disrespect for nature in modern Japan. That debate is heightened by numerous visual references to Shinto, the nature-centered Japanese religion: when Momiji faces her foes, her robes and the branch with woven paper streamers she waves are part of the regalia of a Shinto priestess. Blue Seed offers an unusually entertaining introduction to the "magical girl" genre because Momiji doesn't whine, as so many of her counterparts do, and the dashing Kusanagi assumes the role of protector-lover without losing his initial élan. "Contains animated violence." Suitable for ages 13 and up: violence, brief nudity, sexual humor. --Charles Solomon Description: As the general population becomes increasingly aware of the Aragami and the danger they represent, the Japanese government has come under pressure to take the one measure guaranteed to relegate the Aragami to the realm of legend once more. Now Momiji must be protected not only from the Aragami, but from the people who would sacrifice her to save themselves as well. The TAC moves underground to continue the fight, as the country surrenders to the natural forces released by the rebirth of Susano-o. Time is running out and the final confrontation approaches in Blue Seed: Nightfall! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Awsome!!This was a really great DVD,it made a perfect ending to the series.It comes in English, Japanese, and Spanish, and has the last 6 episodes of the series. Not to mention some great music as well. Rating: - Turn About is Better PlayThe first 18 or so episodes of this series are mostly slapstick disguising an essentially tragic theme. Momiji Fujiyama who comes from the line of the Kushinada (more later) is a hapless schoolgirl who finds she is the focus of a war with the Arigami (plant demons) in which she is intended to be sacrificed to save humanity. Unfortunately, this weighty theme gets lost in the writer's efforts to lighten up the script. Then, suddenly, the sight gags stop and the reality of the impending ...

Rating: - Great Value!Any fan of the Blue Series should definately get the DVD over the VHS. This volume contains the last 6 episodes of the series (21-26), and includes both the Japanese w/ subtitle and English Dubbed versions of the show! Considering single episodes on VHS are the same price, you just can't do wrong with the Blue Seed DVD. Rating: - Blue Seed - NightfallThis review is not only about the last DVD release in the series, but also as a review of the entire series. I have never really been into Anime like most people, but this one caught my attention. Blue Seed is about a young girl who finds out that her humdrum life is not all it seems. Taking its cues from japanese mythology as well as other world religions, the story involves the coming of the auragami, a race of spirits who exist in the form of a 'blue seed', or mitama, and must possess a host in ...
