Made in 1994, ''[[Blue Seed]]'' is (loosely) based on the Izumo cycle of Japanese mythology and the tale of the god Susanoo and the eight-headed monster Yamata no [[Orochi]]. The original manga was written by Yuzo Takada and was made into a 26 episode anime series.
Momiji Fujimiya, a normal middle school girl, is one day stopped on her way to school by a cat
Momiji is intrigued as to why she was referred to as "Kushinada". She discovers that "Kushinada" refers to an ancient princess whose blood holds the power to stop the ancient monsters known as Aragami by sending them to an eternal sleep. Momiji dismisses the idea that she could be such a person, despite the fact she lives with her mother and grandmother in a shrine in Izumo. However, she soon changes her mind after vines begin to appear from every crack and opening attempting to capture her as they whisper "Kushinada".
Line 14:
There is also a three episode [[OVA]], ''Blue Seed Beyond'', which takes place [[Time Skip|two years after]] the end of the TV series. It concerns what seems to be a resurgence of aragami ({{spoiler|actually created via biotechnology}}), and introduces a new character, Valencia Tachibana. Like Kusanagi, she was implanted with a mitama without turning into a full aragami.

* [[Conspicuously Light Patch]]: Lampshaded in episode 3 of Omake Theatre.
* [[Cool Old Lady]]: In episode 12 of Omake Theatre, Momiji's grandma goes ''clubbing''.
Line 90:
* [[Super-Deformed]]: In the [[Omake]].
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: The US Navy officers were voiced by American actors and are a big contrast to [[Fake American]] Sakura.
* [[Theme Naming]]: Besides the [[Meaningful Name
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: Momiji hums the ending in an [[Omake]].
* [[Tonight Someone Kisses]]
* [[Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe]]: It's really amazing how many bad things happen there, and no wonder why at the end of the series, America has sent a fleet to just put it out of its misery.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Two-Act Structure]]: The first 13 episodes are standard [[Monster of the Week]] fare that serves to set up the premise and flesh out the characters. Once Kaede pops back up, the remaining 13 episodes has things get darker and focuses on setting up for the finale.
* [[Unusual Ears]]: Murakumo's are pointed, as are Valencia's.
