Synopsis

Yuji Kaido was diagnosed with a serious disease and cryogenically frozen. He wakes up more than 20 years later--and Earth is nothing like what he remembers. A race of alien bugs called the Blue have taken over the planet, and a few select humans have retreated to the space station Second Earth. Yuji is taken back to Second Earth, where he learns that he and the other sleepers will be instrumental in defeating the Blue. And his relationship with one member of the recovery squad only serves to complicate things. (Source: AnimeNewsNetwork.com)

Recommendations

Blue Gender has sex, violence and good old fashion monster bashing, it differs from Gantz on a Gaming level and being death but overall, I promise that if you like Gantz you'll like this anime, hands down. Also, if you see a reconmendation saying that this series here >>> Zaion: I Wish You Were Here <<< is similar to Blue Gender, thats just bull crap because personally, as a man who loves blood, sex, and monster bashing anime, Zaion: I Wish You Were Here is nothing like Blue gender. Im sure anyone who watches or ever seen this anime hasen't seen it just for the romanace. Honestly now. If you want romance? go watch Sailor Moon or Host Club.

Similar feeling, the earth have been infected with monsters in Blue Gender and a virus in Zaion which turn the user into a monster. The two main characters in both anime have a similar relationship too as they are mostly treated as tool.

I think Zaion have better romance but Blue Gender is overall better because the serie is longer and have more mature content.

Bluge Gender is an anime that few people know about, or just over look due to the stroy about alien bugs taking over the earth and one man that is able to save it. It's a stroy thats been told before, but Blue Gender dose a much better job of doing so, with it chracters, and over all stroy line. It's these two major things that set it apart from the rest.

Blue Gender is one of those series that a lot of people overlook or brush off for some reason. Many assume that it's just a depthless ripoff of Starship Troopers. However, in the process they're missing out on a substantially underrated and mature series that deserves more recognition.

Story: The initial idea, I must admit, isn't very original. Giant bugs VS. human beings has been done many times over, but this isn't the entire focus of Blue Gender. A variety of locations, plotli... read more

I've gotta admit that I'm surprised by the amount of enjoyment I had watching this series. Maybe it's because I didn't expect much heading into it, but like I said...very enjoyable.

For any of you who have seen the movie Starship Troopers, there are quite a few similar elements in Blue Gender. Despite our staggering intelligence and development, mankind is getting owned by some huge bug-like monsters. The difference here is that the bugs have already taken over Earth, forcing a sm... read more
