Anime Blue?

Just what the heck is Blue? There's Blue Seed, Blue Gender, and a thousand other "blue" things in anime. What is "blue" suposed to mean, besides a pretty color and the name for a very depressed emotion?
Anybody?

Well, in Blue Seed, the seeds are blue. That's that explanation. They just are. Everything else, I don't know, 'cuz I haven't seen it. Hope that helps somewhat.

200th post!

 

Blue Gender relates to the beasties of the series, the Blues.

That at least makes sense... Perfect Blue, for example, has nothing to do with anything Blue nor Perfect that I can see.

 

And just why are they called blue? That's a weird name. For that matter, what does Gender refere to?
Of course, 90% of translated Japanese anime titles don't make much sense, but I've heard the word blue overused.

I dont know whats up with your name BLUE crow
lol

 

BURN!!!

HAHAHAHHA

 

And then there's Kageyama Hironobu's song Aoi Kaze no Hope (Blue Wind of Hope). Apparently, this phrase appears in some other Japanese song too, but I can't remember the title and artist.

 

<ZING!>

im liking and hating this guy already lol
hm...
When a Blue Crow is burned does it become a "Red Crow"? or maybe a "Purple Crow"?

 

There already is a Red Crow. He is a fan of Blue Crow.

 

Well... Blue is a color... it is the opposite of red and is very soothing to look at.

DURRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

Really... Blue just sounds cool in the name.

 

Is blue like Japan's favorite color? What's wrong with the dozen or so other basic colors? I thought maybe the word had a double meaning we're unaware of.

um sarah I hate to be the one to tell you this but there are 3 basic colors, thats no where near a dozen, red yellow and blue *hides so he isnt hurt for saying that* but anyways maybe japan does have an obsession with blue maybe it's because they are surrounded by water lol

 

Wow am I the only one who remembers purple, black, white, brown, green, and orange?
I just didn't bother to count and it felt like a dozen so that's what I said.
And then there's rainbow, and poka-dot, and striped...

-Sarah of Borg

 

No,it either becomes a "dead crow" or lunch.Depending on your viewpoint.

 

Heheheh, actually Jet_Black thought you were referring to the 3 primary colors when you said the word "basic."

My social studies teacher said that blue is indeed the most popular color in America. I dunno about Japan.

Speaking of anime titles with the word blue in them, how about... "Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water," and "Blue Sonnet," and.......... "La Blue Girl"?

 

Ack, more variables to the unsolved mystery!

-Sarah of Borg

 

Yeah.......................my name is Blue Crow.

 

Don't forget Mobile Suit Gundam Blue Destiny my personal favorite Mobile suit Gundam non-main story manga I suggest every one who likes Mobile Suit Gundam read it.

 

The Blue Gundam *was* actually blue, too, as I recall, so the title made sense.

What about Blue Sonnet, what's that all about?
