Customer Reviews of Blue Seed - Prelude to Sacrifice (Vol. 3)
A Change in Mood Gradually, as these six episodes progress, the silliness of the first two DVDs fades. After all, Susano-oh has been reborn, and is being used to create a heaven on earth for the monster Arigami. Getting rid of humanity at the same time, of course. Kaede, Momiji's twin sister is no longer missing, but the original Kushinada is no longer on the side of the angels. In fact, she is now Susano-oh's surrogate mother.
All this turmoil has sweeping effects on the TAC team, as plant life seems to go insane throughout Japan, first trees seem to be dying, and then there is a sudden wave of cherry blossom blooms. Momiji has fallen in love with Kusanagi in a big way, but she seems preternaturally incapable of getting him to notice her as something other than a tool to control the Arigami. Kusanagi's is distracted by Kaede's reappearance, as well as his inability to stop the plans of Murakomo.
This sounds a bit more confusing than it actually is. The plot has been fractured for so long that it is something of a shock to have to change gears. But, with humanity's future and the Kushinada's life in the balance, the writers have begun to prune out the distractions. In addition, Japanese legends begin to play more of a part, giving the story some roots. Do not expect any great transformation of approach, but now the story is beginning to meet its original expectations. Although Momiji remains a klutz no matter how serious the narrative.
Whether this change is soon enough remains to be seen. Character development is still like pulling teeth. Of all the characters, Sakura Yamazaki (the self-centered spiritualist) receives the most introspective attention. Momiji lacks the dignity to be a truly tragic or dramatic figure, and gradually, the TAC team has been reduced to being bystanders, as inexplicable events multiply and only sheer luck or Kusanagi keep the world from ending prematurely.
The story remains entertaining, and the development of a serious thread promises a strong ending. As I noted in the beginning, us folks in the United States are privileged to see anime of a very high level. The truth is the 'The Blue Seed' is not bad at all; it simply falls far short of 'Evangelion' or 'Escaflowne.' But pulp fiction certainly has its place in literature, and 'The Blue Seed' fills this role admirably.
Omake, Omake, YAY!!!
This is an absoletely wonderful series!! I got into it when I first saw it on the Action channel a few months ago, it got promoted to my 2nd favorite anime!! Of course, like other moonies out there, my all time favorite anime is Sailor Moon. That brings Blue seed to my second. The most important highlights of this movie, are the Omake theaters. They are sometimes serious < Great Value!
Any fan of the Blue Series should definately get the DVD over the VHS. This volume contains the episodes 15-20 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.
