Great compilation album of various songs written for the anime series BLUE SEED and its OVA counterpart.

Megumi Hayashibara: Half and, Half , bertemu~ブルトゥム~ & Extras

I recently found the first three series of the anime Slayers for $20 at a local store, talk about a great deal. I haven't seen it since I was kid, so I was pretty psyched! While watching it, I was reminded of how entertaining lead seiyuu Megumi Hayashibara is. Megumi has been a lead in several popular anime series (Ranma 1/2, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Blue Seed, Detective Conan, etc) and also sang songs from a majority of them as well. In fact the end theme for Blue Seed, "Touch and Go!!" is one of, if not, my favorite 90's anime song. Half and, Half is her first full length debut album and bertemu~ブルトゥム~ is her 7th and features rendition of songs from Slayers, Evangelion and other anime! Enjoy!
