Battles will be fought, sacrifices will be made, computers will be hacked, and only time will tell if the lovelorn Sekirei and her ashikabi make it out of town, and subsequently out of the Sekirei Plan (of fighting to the death). MC decides, because he's a cool guy, to help this hapless Sekirei and her guy to get to safety because everyone should have the right to live their lives with the ones they love, right? So they set out to spring those two, and that consumes the second half of the season. In fact his involvement even nets him a little like 10 year old Sekirei who can make plants grow (think Poison Ivy level power) who decides he's her big brother, but fights with the other girls about who his 'true' wife is.Īs the plan presses in harder and harder, and it looks like combat is unavoidable, the MC meets another ashikabi with a Sekirei that does not have combat prowess that seeks to flee the city (which is being used as the Sekirei's battleground, and hence fleeing is forbidden). The plan is forced on him, as always, and he slowly becomes involved. Main Character is just cool hanging with his girls trying to keep them from killing each other, and just living life. He also like many protagonists, has no real interest in this whole 'Sekirei Plan' that the 'Game Master' (the guy who found the alien ship way back when) has developed for the creatures to fight to the death. The primary thrust of the story is the hapless guy gaining at first one, and then several (because you can't be an anime protagonist if you ain't a playa!) Sekirei to rally under his banner. A toning down of the sexual aspects would not have hurt the primary focus of the show (action and fighting) at all. I know being middle aged puts me a bit older than the average anime viewer, but at my age, nipples aren't as mystifying and fun as they used to be. I'm not throwing any derision on any reviewer on this site, but I think that youth and nudity might have meshed together to give this anime a bit higher rating that it might otherwise warrant.
SEKIREI HENTAI FULL
Sometimes not showing the goodies can be as sexy as the full monty, or for sure toplessness. But throughout season one she never once is topless, and I still credit her for having sex appeal. A character that appears late in season one and is prominent in season two is named Kazehana (yes no 'M' name!) and she is double stacked. I'm not anti-boob by ANY means, I'm actually quite the fan, but this show could have been done without any explicit nippleage (is that a word?) and kept the 'sexy' feel. There are moments of bare breasts throughout the series, and of course they are all the size of Goodyear blimps. The second and most obvious issue to deal with is nudity. Was one reason I rewatched the dub, because I couldn't keep the subtitled names straight. Let's check some of the character names: Musubi, Matsu, Minato, Miya, Minaka, Mitshua, Mutsu, yeah, ENOUGH WITH THE DAMN 'M's! And a fair amount of them are important characters, the primary Sekirei, the Main Character, and the Main Villain all have 'M' names.
Here's where one of my big rubs comes in, especially in the subbed version, but remains annoying in the dub: names. Most of them are shown as being defeated and some of them don't even get their numbers mentioned, leaving us with a far more manageable number of cast members. Obviously this would be a LONG show if every single one of them got any focus or screen time at all. Now since Japan has a long standing history with the number 108 (the stars of destiny, so on) there are 108 Sekirei. But in best terms, Sekirei are supposed to find their 'destined ones.' There are a few humans (ashikabi they are termed) that go around kissing every unclaimed Sekirei they can find, and I cannot believe all of those Sekirei have 'feelings' for this 'collector'.
SEKIREI HENTAI SERIES
Though it is shown in the series that it does NOT have to be the case, these humans are supposed to be special to the Sekirei and inspire feelings in them. Oh, and that's another alien caveat, these Sekirei, to develop their superpowers fully, must be kissed by a human. For reasons not explained, the guy that found them is given authority over them to the point he devises a game where they must all fight each other to the death and the one winner is allowed to stay with her human partner. Let's get this pact in motion! Basically the titular Sekirei are aliens/special humans/something *else* that are found in a spaceship like place on a secret island. Some of the concepts are a little convoluted, and with the potential of 108 characters, some cast members get the metaphorical shaft, but it's still alright. I found the title mildly entertaining with some interesting characters, enough for a 'well if you've got nothing better' recommendation, but far from a 'Must Watch Anime' ranking.
Primarily though, we're rolling off the dub.
