About World War Blue Blu-ray
World War Blue contains episodes 1-3 of the anime directed by Tetsuya Yanagisawa, and is a fantasy anime series based on a manga created by Anastasia Shestakova and illustrated by Crimson. Some of the world’s favorite fourth generation 16-bit video games are personified in this animated, medieval fantasy re-imagining of the 90’s console wars when video game companies furiously fought for market share in the retail world.
WORLD WAR BLUE tells the saga of two warring kingdoms, the Segwa Kingdom and Ninteldo Empire battling for dominance over the land of Consume. After years of conflict, things are looking grim for the Segwa Kingdom until Gear, a hyper-skilled young warrior, joins the fight! Will Gear be the Segwa’s secret weapon and last hope? The cast of colorful, sexy characters are parodies of popular Nintendo and Sega games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Tetris, Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and more!

Before even watching, this appealed; the idea of re-imagining the video gaming console wars as a rousing adventure story was just crazy enough to work. What’s more, from the description as a parody, I imagined something like Wreck-It Ralph, but that is not the case. This is a much more serious story; five people are killed in the pre-title-sequence opening of the first episode.
In addition the humor is apparently the Ecchi features, such as having Lieutenant General Ramses so excited at the thought of Gear joining her army that all of her clothes fly off, or Opal losing her top during her challenge battle with Gear. Interestingly, both events apparently happen in the imagination only; however, Tejirov’s dirty jokes and in-your-face breast fondling, and Opal’s magic power using that resembles orgasming happen right in front of everybody. Nothing much beyond is shown of course, but I’d pay particular attention to the “16 and older” indication on the packaging; this is not a kids’ game.
You're too slow
by Rash
World war blue Is just the first 3 episodes of an anime. The basics are the world is in war but all the hero's are references to old school Videogames. But that hardly matters by the end of the 3 episodes. The plot takes valuable time away from its runtime for weird sexual humor and even a hot springs scene. Knowing the main character was meant to mirror Sonic and other video game characters just made me roll my eyes. It can be done well in shows like hyperdimension neptunia but here it just felt unneeded.
The show action is also oddly slower then you expect as well. With sonics speed, you expect some real showstopping fights. But the show only has one real boss fight before it ends.
All this would be forgivable if it was a full show and had time to see its plot though but honestly even if you're a fan of Sega or Nintendo. Your better spending your cash on any other videogame anime or an actual videogame itself.
