About Blue Drop

Here is what Blue Drop (BLUE DROP ～天使達の戯曲～) is about, retold in plain terms: a drama and sci-fi anime by GONZO (2007). In short: Five years ago, something horrifying happened on Kamioki Island. Something so nightmarish that it stripped all memory from Mari Wakatake's mind even as it left every other human on the island dead in its wake!

From there, now enrolled against her will at an isolated girl's academy, Mari is unaware that hidden eyes are watching her, waiting for her memory to return. Buried in her psyche is the most terrifying concealed of all: while Mari was the only human who lived, she may not have been the only survivor! As something in a female skin invades Kaihou Academy, Mari's only hope may lie in an odd girl to whom she is inexplicably drawn yet cannot trust.

As a drama title, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Akiko Yajima as Mari Wakatake and Miyuki Sawashiro as Hagino Senkouji. Think of it as a pick for viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
