Blue Drop (ブルー ドロップ, Burū Doroppu) is a Japanese science fiction yuri manga created by Akihito Yoshitomi. It comprises five chapters that were serialized in the shōnen manga magazine Dengeki Comic Gao! from June 2004 to December 2005, and later collected into a single volume. In 2007, Yoshitomi began to work on a new Blue Drop manga, titled Blue Drop: Tenshi no Bokura (BLUE DROP ～天使の僕ら～), which was serialized in the manga magazine Champion Red between February 19, 2007 and January 19, 2008, with its 14 chapters later compiled into 2 volumes. Each volume contained a chapter of another series called Tenshi no Itazura (天使の悪戯, Angel's Trick) where Kasagi is a member of an alien race of females called the Arume. She spends her time playing matchmaker for unsuspecting, cute human girls. The third and fourth chapters were not released until 2008.

A Blue Drop anime series directed by Masahiko Ohkura and produced by Asahi Production and BeSTACK aired in Japan between October 2 and December 25, 2007 under the title Blue Drop: Tenshitachi no Gikyoku (BLUE DROP ～天使達の戯曲～). The first DVD release on December 26, 2007 was accompanied with a bonus 6-chapter manga volume called Maiorita Tenshi (〜舞い降りた天使〜, Descended Angel). In 2008, two drama CDs were released. The first, released on May 23, was titled Lover Side, and included the third chapter of Tenshi no Itazura. The second, released on June 27, was titled Traitor Side, and included the fourth and final chapter of the Itazura one-shot series.

Plot:
the Blue Drop: Tenshitachi no Gikyoku anime series is set before the war. The storyline starts in 1999, with Mari Wakatake transferring to a girl's dormitory school called Kaihō Academy (海凰学園, Kaihō Gakuen). Mari's background hides a traumatic past: five years before her arrival at Kaihō, all the inhabitants of the island where she lived died in one night. Mari was the only survivor, but lost all her memories prior that point.

At the academy Mari meets Hagino Senkōji, the school idol and class rep. Although Hagino is introduced as a calm and collected person, when she touches Mari's hand she panics and attempts to strangle Mari. From then on, Mari is torn between anger and attraction towards Hagino, who pretends as if nothing had happened.

Unknown to Mari, Hagino is actually the commander of an alien battleship called Blue, which is the vanguard of the invasion to Earth. The incident on the island where Mari lived occurred when the crew of the ship and the island's inhabitants killed each other. Blue was seriously damaged and hidden, and Hagino blended into human society and continued her reconnaissance.

The story focuses on the relationship between Mari and Hagino; as Mari begins to come out of her shell, Hagino, who has been living a double life, gradually begins to have doubts about her mission. While the invasion and war draw closer unnoticed, they begin to understand each other.

My review: Okay, how many of you heard of this anime or watched it?

Yeah, bet you didn't heard about this, this anime is 100% most underrated anime in history of Anime, why am I saying that? Well, that brings me back to first question, how many of you heard of this anime or watched it?

If I had to guess how many of you heard of it ot watch it. It be 60/ 40

60 of you didn't heard about it until now. 40 of you, have watched it. Probably less, I don't know!

Anyway, reason i'm telling you guys about this anime is because if you like
Drama, Sci-Fi, Shoujo Ai, than this anime is for you.

Simple,

it is well-made. Certainly a better Shoujo Ai story compare to recent Shoujo Ai series, Overall, It's mysterious. It blended two story settings well together. Touching relationship between the leads too. Nice music and visuals too. It is only 13 episodes though, so, take your time watching it, enjoy it. Let me know in comments below how you like it.

What I dislike about show is the voices of of the leads, it is pretty annoying, for both sub and dub, then again, the anime is 13 years old.

And some of characters, I can't remember much about it, so, I might have to rewatch it, to refresh my memory of characters I disliked.

And the ending of the anime will probably make you cuss, from what I remember, I cried than I'm like " What the fuck?!"

So, if you guys can, give this anime some love by watching it.
