Sekirei Cast

When I first laid my eyes on this anime, I saw what ecchi truly meant. The manga was published by Square Enix in 2005 and is still ongoing and in a hidden location. Later on in 2008, it was picked up for a anime adaptation by the animation studio, Seven Arc spanning 12 episodes and covering about the first fifty chapters of the manga. Currently, there is a second season in the works. which was SUPPOSED to be released already but I have given up on release dates. At least I have learned not to take them too seriously nowadays. With the manga incomplete, I am scared the second season might pull a Soul Eater (I’ll definitely rant about this fuck-up later) and COMPLETELY STRAY from the intended path. I figure that anime should always be representative of the manga unless, there is no manga. So when these things happen (aka fillers or rushed endings) the series tends to die as a whole. Its a depressing process really. T_T. So on a lighter note, let me tell you what this boobie bomb is about.

“and it goes a lil something like this…”

The “center piece” of this harem anime is a young-college failing-smart-loser-awkward-nervous wreck of a boy named Minato Sahashi. Minato is currently trying to get into college, however with two failed attempts under his belt the whole situation became pretty discouraging. He had a part-time job and lived alone, struggling from paycheck to paycheck. He is branded as a loser by pretty much everyone and his mother and little sister remind him of this day to day status.

On one of these days he deems to be so lame- Out of the sky falls a beautiful girl named Musubi who seems to be having her own problems. She is being chased by two Sekirei (extraterrestrial super-powered beings with genetic code similar to humans.) and mumbles something about wings and heads on her way. Flustered, he pursuits her to [location] where he eventually learns of his fate as an Ashikabi (her’s to be exact) which are humans with unique genes that empower the Sekirei destined to serve them through an exchange of saliva between Sekirei, and their Ashikabi. Yes, they have to kiss for the link to be made and yes, the link is permanent. After this meeting, they become attached and he goes on to gather more and more Sekirei. Or, more like they go to gather him. What is supposed to happen is, after all the links are made between everyone, Japan is supposed to be shut down and the remaining Sekirei and Ashikabi are left to battle it out to the death with the city as the battleground. Oh- and the winner tastes paradise aka goes to heaven (I’m still half and half about this idea ha)

So if being magnetically ,aka definitely, linked to women (some of them are guys too ladies) pre-selected by an unknown entity to worship and serve you is your bag, then this show is definitely for you. If you want those said women (again some guys) to fight each other, for your well being and affection, and in the process lose clothes as they trade blows? well this should be what you are looking for.

Want to get started so damn badly?
