Chaos reigns after an impenetrable dome closes over the city of Hogure, where poor Kusanagi finds himself trapped. Realizing his fate depends upon her, Momiji tries to call him back with the force of her love, knowing that, if it fails, Kusanagi will surely be killed by demons. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

A secret government task force battles the Aragami, a strange breed of alien creatures who are bent on taking over the Earth, in this collection of episodes from the Japanese animated science fiction series Blue Seed. In Volume 3, the TAC begins to buckle under the onslaught of the Aragami, Kome learns the hard way that Yaegashi is no sure hand with a weapon, Tokyo is attacked by a giant jellyfish, and Matsudaira misses her son's birthday (you'd think he'd understand, given the circumstances...). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
Inspired by Japanese mythology about the monster Orochi, Blue Seed's main character, Momiji Fujimiya, is a descendent of the mythological princess Kushinada. When Japan is attacked by angry gods spawned by Orochi, it is Momiji's destiny to be sacrificed for the salvation of human kind. These are not the "old days," however, and the modern approach to dealing with these dark forces is much less depressing: Momiji joins a secret organization that fights the gods, putting her ancestral powers to the test. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
