Blood Tune (ブラッドチューン, Buraddo Chūn) is a fictional magical girl anime that is very popular in ChäoS;HEAd. Officially, its full name is Blood Tune The ANIMATION (ブラッドチューン The ANIMATION, Buraddo Chūn The ANIMATION), and it is often called Burachu (ブラチュー, Burachū) for short. It was originally based on a manga.
== Plot ==
The main heroine is the magical girl Seira Orgel, who in her ordinary life is a 17-year-old second year high school student attending Ryuusei High School (which translates to Meteor High School in English). Seira is able to transform into a magical girl using the power of the stars, and has a mysterious familiar named Nanika (no connection whatsoever to Nanika from Hunter × Hunter). The opening theme song is Fortune☆LOVE Night, sung by Seira’s voice actress Akane Tomonaga.
Seira’s little sister, the magical girl Erin-fray Orgel who is only 10 years old, also helps out, and is a main character of ChäoS;HEAd Love Chu☆Chu! who also appears in ChäoS;Child and ChäoS;Child Love Chu☆Chu!!. Seira has a rival, Sedna, a bounty hunter who is according to the light novel Blood Tune The NOVELIZATION prettier than her, and Sedna is mentioned early on in Steins;Gate Episode 10 as well as in ChäoS;HEAd Love Chu☆Chu!.
The anime has a very good director and staff, and Seira is a very moe character who wears skimpy outfits, especially the “Post-Awakening"-clothing is skimpy which first appears in Episode 13 of Blood Tune and has both visible panties without any skirt or pants, as well as the outlines of nipples visible sticking out through her skin-tight top. Blood Tune has total of 26 episodes and airs these episodes throughout the time ChäoS;HEAd takes place.
== In ChäoS;HEAd ==
Both Takumi Nishijou and Yua Kusunoki are big fans of Blood Tune and its heroine Seira. Takumi very often has positive, comforting delusions about Seira, and he has a large collection of figurines from various anime, manga, and visual novels, including every single Seira figurine that has come out. Blood Tune is his favorite anime ever and he watches it obsessively.
In the ChäoS;HEAd anime, Yua is only pretending to be a fan of Blood Tune and Seira as part of a cynical ploy to get close to Takumi, but in the original ChäoS;HEAd visual novel, she is genuinely a fan of Blood Tune who watches every episode and admires Seira as a heroine, and actually has that in common with Takumi, one of many ways the ChäoS;HEAd anime adaptation changes things from the visual novel in ways that change the characters.
In the spinoff visual novel ChäoS;HEAd Love Chu☆Chu!, both of the magical girls Seira Orgel and her little sister Erin-fray Orgel become real human beings after Taku uses his gigalomaniac powers to alter the entire world to be like a gal game, and they are no longer just Blood Tune anime characters. Taku actually succeeds at the goal “Make Anime Real” in that game. (At least it seems that way to Taku, but this later on turns out to just be a delusion.)
== In other Science;Adventure media ==
In Steins;Gate, Mayuri Shiina tries to persuade Kurisu Makise to do a Blood Tune cosplay and dress up as the post-Awakening version of Seira Orgel from Blood Tune. At first, Kurisu is interested, until she finds out about the part where her panties would be exposed with no skirt or pants, and then she gets embarrassed and changes her mind. But by the time of Steins;Gate, a newer anime, RaiNet Kakeru, is much more popular than Blood Tune, and the RaiNet Kakeru mascot Upa has replaced Gero Froggies as what teenage girls are into collecting.
In the Science Adventure Series universe, Erin-fray Orgel later gets her own show, a spinoff anime of Blood Tune called Magical Girl Erin Strike Home Run (魔法少女エリン・ストライクホームラン, Mahō Shōjo Erin Sutoraiku Hōmu Ran), which Neidhardt talks about online on Twipo in the Robotics;Notes visual novel.
There is a real-world light novel based on Blood Tune called Blood Tune The NOVELIZATION, which you can actually buy. It is one of the few real-world light novels based on an anime that does not actually exist.
