Blue Gender is a 26-episode anime created by Ryousuke
Takahashi (of Armored Trooper Votoms and Gasaraki fame)
broadcast in Japan from 1999-2000. It is the story of
Yuji Kaido, an average guy who was diagnosed with a serious
disease in the near future and was put into cryogenic
stasis. When he wakes up, he discovers that a race of
beings called "Blue" have overrun the Earth
and that he may very well be the key to the survival of
the human race. Blue Gender was created by the Japanese
animation studio, AIC and is distributed in the United
States by FUNimation. In 2003, Blue Gender was released
on American television as part of Cartoon Network's Adult
Swim. There is also a compilation movie (Blue Gender:
The Warrior) available on DVD.
