There aren't that many series with SEED in all caps like that. That's Gundam SEED, Gundam SEED Destiny, and Gundam SEED MSV Astray. SEED in those series stands for "Superior Evolutionary Element Destined-Factor." A trait present in most of the main characters from the series.

There are other series/movies with seed in the title, such as Blue Seed and Appleseed. They have nothing to do with each other or with Gundam SEED.

Incidentally, many anime titles happen to begin with "Blue." Probably for the same reason, too (that being, of course, pure coincidence).

The only other series I know that ends with Seed is Blue Seed (aside from the Gundam shows). Seed is not really that common...

About that: Check any Japanese anime beginning/ending in Blue and you'll find about 90% containing sexual innuendo and/or nudity. Then again as the saying goes, "What Japanese anime DOESN'T contain sexual innuendo or nudity?". Anyway to me, the word blue in the title of Japanese anime is not a coinkeydink.

YES!!! There is subliminal messaging in anime that has the title "seed" in it. They call it operation seed. they are trying to plant a "seed" in our minds to buy everything by the company producing the "seed" titles. Shocked SHEILD YOUR EYES!!! AHHHHHH Anime hyper

Don't forget titles with the word "Blue" in them, which means we are all doubly screwed with "Blue Seed".

hey back in the day I liked blue seed! (ie back when it was coming out on VHS!)

It was a good cheesy show for its time.
or if u really want to be creepy look at the large numbers of hentai shows and dating sims with "Sister" in the title.
