Sekirei

Sekirei has a very obvious harem premise, so caution is required by those who usually dislike this type of anime: 108 creatures, mostly female, spread all over town are to be either willingly or unwillingly "winged" by human masters through the exchange of bodily fluids, most commonly through a kiss, and engage in a battle royale to decide which pair will win and "ascend together unto heaven". Story: The plot is linear and simple, a few mysteries are contained as to the identities and motivations of some characters, as well as the true nature of the Sekirei Plan. An interesting aspect of it is the high degreeof faithfulness to the manga it's derived from, to the point of the viewer, by the end of the series, be able to pick up the subsequent manga volume and read it without major issues. Art: The art doesn't manage to impress, but the quality is very consistent throughout, and it's very hard to perceive poorly made moments due to low budget. The battle animations and choreography are, however, better than one would expect from a series of this scope, and it also gives fans who come in from the manga interesting details on each Sekirei's powers. Sound: The intro and outro songs fit the mood of the content, the background music is good but not outstanding. On the other hand, voice acting is a very catching aspect of it, with a couple higher profile actresses(namely Marina Inoue and Paku Romi, both usually typecast for bold female and young male roles). Since most of the comedy comes from the interaction of the main cast with itself, thiswas a central part of the production which was not overlooked. Character: As a typical harem series, most of the humor is derived from the eccentric and fixed personalities of the main characters, and most of the character development focuses on the protagonist, and is quite a small amount. Most of the Sekirei only change their reactions significantly shortly after and during the process of being winged, and remain unchanged after that. Overall: Sekirei is a good series, with a sufficiently fast pace that will keep most people hooked. It's leaving a lot of fans with hopes for future seasons, even though I personally find the possibility to be unlikely. It offers a small twist to the harem genre having the combat aspects and multiple masters with small harems of their own, and has been likened to Pokemon by many. In the end, a fitting work for it's short run of 12 episodes.

This is the other type of animes (besides gory and bloody animes) that I often most likely feel like watching. This is an action-echi-comedy anime. It's like any other you've watched (for instance Tenjou Tenge, Ikkitousen) but this one has a more "pokemon-cath 'em style" theme if you know what I mean. I will include full descriptions in this review because I feel that even if I spoil the story or other stuff you will enjoy this anime not because of the story specifically. Also this anime has, halfway through, explicit content, specifically: nudity. So it's not suitable for underage audiences. The story is prettymuch straight forward as for any of this echi animes. You know: a somewhat failure type of guy is deppressed all over something and then when he is walking home he get's to meet a really beautiful girl that cames out of nowhere and just after that the girl, for whatever reason, get's to stay in the guy's house". The twist is that this girl is one of the "Sekireis" that the worldwide famous MBI company has let out to provoke a "Battle Royale" scenario between the sekireis in the city called "New Tokyo". Now this girls have a wide range of super powers (water, fire, psychical, etc.) and fight in order to get their wish of being with the person they love forever come true. This girls need to "be winged" in order to be able to use their full power, they do this by mixing their DNA with a human's DNA: by kissing. Now the story is set just in a like 10 year gap from the present (2019 or something like that). So most of the stuff you see on the enviroment is as just realistic as watching it anywhere else for real. Another thing that I did found different in this anime compared with others of this genre (le's take Ikkitousen and Tenjou Tenge) is the reason behind the fights. In Ikkitousen they just fight to "fullfill the destiny of the magatama" in "Tenjou Tenge there is really no reason at all xD! Here you've got better and realistic event that causes the fighting to begin. This is a Seven Arcs artistic produccion so it's obviously very good. The design of the backgrounds and specially the characters is superb. The characters are very nice to watch in action and the animation doesn't miss almost any amount of detail in fight sequences. The space of action get's it's great dose of originality as well. The locations are often destroyed nicely and when that happens it's does looks realistic and it does leave a chaotic-satisfactory feeling. Another thing this anime has to deal with is the fan service issue. Yes this anime shows almost all sekireis as big breasted babes, of course there are exceptions but that is the main idea. This babes are vey teasing and seductive from time to time, so expect some hardcore echi escenes. But even so respecting looks every single one of the characters is different from one another by some characteristic features, even so the overall body type is the same. The characters are drawn so well that you see that they are completely different in some way or another. I haven't got much to say about to say about the sound. The opening and ending themes are a bit gilrlish, but then again it all comes down if they fit the theme or not, well.. at the end they do. Voice acting is a important factor in an anime too. Well in here the voice acting is superb: love Tsukiumi's voice (love everything about her really) and Karasuba's as well (lol the voice talent is the same as Hitsugaya Toushirou and Elric Edward). The sound is nice and complements this anime making it a great listening experience. Now the characters are amazing and have very different behaviors. I'm in love with the beautiful blond, short-tempered and violent Tsukiumi, I fancy the peaceful, determined and voluptuous Musubi and definitely want the perverted, seductive and smart Matsu. Even the secondary characters or just those that only appear in one or two episodes have a great amount of detail respecting looks and personality so you'll be willing to see more of those characters even if they don't show up anymore on the storyline. You will definitely feel symphaty for the vast majority of the cast and even get attached to them. If there is something perfect about this anime, leaving aside the artistic design, I've got to say that the enjoyment impact that acomplishes on the viewer is somewhat different from another aspects this anime offers. The enjoyment factor is high quality and I don't know about other people but I'm really anxious and looking forward for the OVA and the second season. Why? Well because I did greatly enjoy it. If you are not a echi fan and are only used to watch animes with elaborate stories and difficult scripts then definitely this one is not for you, as you will see the story as lame and with no sense at all. But if you're looking for fun, great, sexy looking characters and no great complications in storyline issues then this is one anime you should seriously considering watching.

Sekirei is actually a pretty generic show in terms of plot, characters, story, and art. The ecchi and harem aspect can immediately put people off. With those things in mind, this is by far one of my most favorite hidden gems in anime that i've found. b-b-b-but you gave its a 7?? Yes i did, that's b/c the anime isn't finished; there are two seasons and many rumors about a third. This is also the first anime that has made me pick up the manga. If the story were complete, or at least if there were more episodes, this would geta 9 from me. Sekirei is about a game played in a large metropolitan city with humanoids (mainly females) having strange abilities that go around battling one another trying to find an ashkabi (mainly male) for them to latch onto and battle for/protect. Its like a giant battle royal with wild fight scenes and an enormous depth of back story. What makes Sekirei unique is how well its executed, the characters, while largely generic fit perfectly with the setting and context of the game, and there are many different types of characters that surround the MC, alot of them are very powerful. It makes for an exciting dynamic. The anime is almost a SoL though, as it doesn't really take off into crazy town until the second season, but i found that it kept me wanting more and more and more. After each episode the show just got better and better. the progression was almost perfect. There are some drawbacks however, namely the MC is a pussy. What makes this even slightly tolerable is that there is a very slow progression to his character and while he is often aloof, naive, shy and stuttering, he isn't a sniveling, groveling weakling that just makes you hate his guts. There's also a fair amount of ecchi with tits and red faces popping up in almost every episode. It isn't Highschool DxD level, but there's no doubt they are catering to the fanservice crowd. Thankfully it doesn't really get in the way, as most of the fanservice scenes serve multiple purposes to further the character development or the plot. Even with the individual elements being somewhat generic, the way their are positioned makes the show particularly unique and especially interesting. I've watched my fair share of animu, this is one of those shows that really grabbed my attention from the start and never let me down. And generic works to make the characters relate-able and interesting early and b/c of this its very easy for them to break their mold and surprise the viewers. If you can handle some ecchi and are looking to be thoroughly entertained, can't do much better than Sekirei, it has a little bit of everything without being overbearing.
