Sekirei

Struggling yet brilliant 19-year-old Minato Sahashi has failed his college entrance exams for the second time, resulting in him being regarded as worthless by those around him. However, the course of his seemingly bleak future is altered dramatically when a beautiful, supernatural woman falls from the sky and into his life. That woman, Musubi, is a unique being known as a "Sekirei," a humanoid extraterrestrial with extraordinary abilities. These aliens are known for kissing humans carrying the Ashikabi gene in order to awaken additional latent powers deep within.

Recognizing the potential within the seemingly insignificant youth, Musubi kisses the bewildered Minato, initiating a bond between the two of them. This drags him into the high-stakes world of the Sekirei, where he and his new partner must compete against others in a battle for survival called the "Sekirei Plan." However, unbeknownst to the contestants, there is far more at risk that what the competition initially entailed.

This is exactly what I expect from this kind of anime: Plot and PLOT. The music is fantastic, the voice acting is amazing, also helps that the voice of the main heroine is one of my favourites I guess xD. This is from the time when this anime were a bit more than fanservice + bunch of boring eres + stupid repetitives jokes... Yes! I'm talking about you To-Love -Ru >.<

Firsts things firsts, the plot, even if it's not incredible complicated, is compelling and simple enough, lots of waifus fighting in a battle royal with their masters... Nothing amazing but, interesting enough. Second, and incredible ... important... The characters can talk more than 5 minutes straight without making a stupid joke with no sense, it happens from time to time but, it's not every fucking damn 2 seconds... Yes I'm talking about you, again, To-Love-Ru. That helps carying about the characters and, even if they're not incredibly complex, again, they're nice and you get to enjoy them with their personal short stories. The plot make sense, which also helps. And the fighting scenes, even if simple, they're pretty nicely done..

As I said before, the music is going to sound in my head for some time, it was pretty good tbf, the artistic, even if old, great. So yes, if you want to have a good time and don't think too much, you can watch it and enjoy it. It's not a master piece, don't get me wrong, but after all the crap that I watched on this genre, it gets the top 3 spot, just behind Sora no Otoshimono and Fruit of Grisaia... The first 2 seasons.

Mixed Feelings

For me, this is a GOOD ecchi.I also liked the fact that the anime is not that old cliché of ecchi, demon king and everything else that we already know, but in fact this anime is not unanimous, but it does its "rice and beans" well and the anime is well conducted.

The animation is not bad, but it is not good either, this animation gives you something simple and that's it, but I must point out that episodes 11 and 12 have a completely horrible animation !!! Which for me is on the same level as the animation of naruto against pain or nanatsu.

In the ... end I still like the anime and only these last two episodes disappointed me (in terms of animation) otherwise I still see it as a good anime.

I hope the animation improves, because I gave seven for this first season because it really is good, but I almost gave 6 because of this animation, and look I don't even care much about animation!!!!
Note: What is the problem with this anime that every character has white hair?

Overview:

Sekirei is an anime that has never been a critical darling! However, my good buddy convinced me to ignore all the critics and give this series a shot. Unfortunately...I kind of have to agree with the popular consensus on this one. Sekirei has enough problems to make it very hard for me to recommend.

Plot and characters:

The plot of Sekirei is that some hot alien chicks crash landed on Earth and an evil corporation is forcing them to pair up with bland males to act as their “masters” and fight each other to the death in a Battle Royale tournament with the winners getting to ascend ... into Godhood. If only I hadn’t seen so many highly similar plots in other shitty anime like: Akikan, Kampfer, Future Diary, etc. It must be said that Sekirei is not exactly going to win any awards for its creativity. Each of these alien girls called “Sekirei” have different “types” that determine which techniques they can learn and how well they match up against other types based on elemental strengths and weaknesses. Funny, this seems AWFULLY familiar from somewhere! The main character is Minato, who is supposed to be a lovable loser kind of guy that has failed twice getting into Tokyo University and is now studying hard to finally succeed. Seriously! That’s just how little this series tries in terms of creativity. Although I wouldn’t say he is a complete Keitaro from Love Hina ripoff because Keitaro didn’t keep a harem of female slaves that he fought to the death in gladiator matches. I guess Minato is more like Keitaro mixed with Calvin Candie from Django Unchained?! The first Sekirei that Minato gains mastery over is a “fighting type” Sekirei named Musubi. Predictably, Musubi is an airheaded bimbo that lacks any interesting character traits. She loves to eat, flash her tits, and punch other Sekirei in the face. That’s really about as far as her character development goes. My favorite character is the mad scientist leader of the corporation controlling the Sekirei. He is so bombastic and over the top that he actually made me laugh on several occasions, especially in the English dub where he is played by Chuck Huber.

Art:

The animation in Sekirei is decent and some of the fight scenes look pretty good relative to its year of release. However, I wasn’t a fan of the character designs. The tits are so absurdly large that it just looks fucking stupid! Sekirei’s idea of human anatomy clashed hard with my personal aesthetics.

Enjoyment:

Sekirei actually did have a few moments that were genuinely funny, or at least so incredibly stupid that I laughed. In one scene, Musubi randomly starts flying and takes Minato into the air to spoof the romance scene from the 1978 Superman film…then she announces that she has no idea how to land and they fall hundreds of feet before crashing into a tree. The fight scenes as mentioned above in the art section are fairly decent and if you simply want to watch some entertaining garbage, this series is passable.

Overall:

Sekirei is not what I would consider a good anime by any stretch. However, it never annoyed me to the degree that Akikan and Kampfer did or infuriate me by being horribly written, yet taking itself dead seriously like Future Diary or Code Geass. Basically, Sekirei is a bad anime, but there are a LOT of anime I hate WAY more than Sekirei! Still, I would avoid this one unless you really want to see some mindless entertainment featuring impossibly busty Pokemon women fighting each other for the sake of a highly cliche' and contrived plot.
