Blue Submarine No. 6 is an anime television series that aired from 1998 to 2000. It was directed by Mahiro Maeda and produced by Gonzo. The series follows the story of a war between humans and genetically engineered beings known as "Blue," who have taken over the Earth's oceans. The show is set in a post-apocalyptic future where the Earth's oceans have become uninhabitable due to pollution, and humans have migrated to colonies on the moon.

The protagonist of the series is a young man named Tetsu Hayami, a pilot in the military forces of the United Nations. Tetsu is sent on a mission to retrieve a scientist named Dr. Zorndyke, who has defected and is now working with the Blue. Dr. Zorndyke is a brilliant scientist who believes that the Blue are the next step in human evolution, and he is committed to their survival. Tetsu is joined on his mission by a group of elite soldiers, as well as a team of scientists who are working to develop a biological weapon that can destroy the Blue.

As Tetsu and his team venture deeper into Blue territory, they encounter a number of challenges and dangers. They are attacked by the Blue's powerful war machines and must fight their way through intense battles. Along the way, they uncover more about the Blue and their motivations, and begin to question their own beliefs and allegiances.

The animators at Gonzo took great care in creating the world of Blue Submarine No. 6, and the series is known for its stunning visuals. The animation is a mix of traditional 2D animation and CGI, which was still a relatively new technique at the time. The use of CGI allowed for highly detailed and realistic backgrounds and machines, which added to the show's immersive atmosphere.

The series is also notable for its score, which is composed by renowned composer and pianist, Kanno Yoko. The music is a mix of orchestral and electronic, and is used to great effect throughout the series. The opening theme, "Aoi Tabibito" by S.E.N.S., is a hauntingly beautiful song that perfectly captures the melancholic tone of the series.

Overall, Blue Submarine No. 6 is a complex and thought-provoking series that delves into themes of evolution, morality, and the consequences of human actions. It combines stunning visuals with a captivating storyline, and is a must-watch for fans of sci-fi and anime.
