7Seeds

Great concept and great sound engineering. An okay animation style but the pace of this anime is rushed at some point since the earlier episodes. Action packed and great watch for adventure geeks. A little bit of scifi and horror. Huge fan of isekai and post apocalytic storyline. Plot wise is okay, not that great tbh. Great characters and developments almost on all of the characters throughout part 1 and 2. Some extreme choices on some characters like ango and ryo (hate them). Some poor choice on characters like hana, arashi, semimaru, etc - taking turn to be annoying, ruthless and keep getting a complete personality change. Basically driving me insane. Great original opening and ending songs - very japanese pop rock & soft indie songs. Touch on climate changes, meteorites, evolution, science experiments, bacteria, viruses, sustainability, family issues, trauma, friendship, survival, etc. All in one - maybe the reason why i felt it was rushed and put in a very complex flow. Recommended but definitely not for younger audiences due to very disturbing scenes. Wanted more but apparently it was cancelled after part 2.

I am almost giving up on Netflix, they give us 2 season of an anime, and when we expect to see more they give us nothing. There were so many stories left in this adaption and yet we have not had anything. People that gave this a low score have no soul.

Another diehard fan of the "7 Seeds" manga here and a diehard fan of Yumi Tamura, who is perhaps the greatest manga artist in the history of this art form. Tamura has outdone herself with 7 Seeds. It is a gem--a deeply complex, compelling shoujo manga that appeals to all genders and ages (though may be inappropriate for children under 13).

Why Netflix would attempt such a half-assed job at animating this manga is beyond me. I suspect it was a decision based purely on avarice and a desire to diversify their TV drama selection. But clearly the decision makers at Netflix are not manga fans or else they would have known better than to half-ass the equivalent of the Lord of the Rings. Yes, that is how awesome 7 Seeds is and even Peter Jackson who directed LOTR prepared to fully pay homage to this great work of fantasy. Alas, there was no Peter Jackson at Netflix, so they hired the crappiest screenwriters and lousiest animators that their stingy budget could afford and ruined the greatest manga of all time.

I can only hope that a better production company one day attempts to animate Tamura's "Basara" manga one day. Someone who understands the delicate emotional sensitivity and complexity of great shoujo works and will endeavor to properly animate this lovely work of art.

Great premise, but the execution is lacking. It jumps from scene to scene, with sometimes drastic changes in between despite only a second having passed. Time skips abound... Also quite a bit of artistic and metaphoric hubris, which is unnecessary and just drags the plot down. Too many cliches and moments of deus ex machina, too. Overall, a good premise let down by poor writing/direction.

So I just binged watched part 1 and I would like to say that I loved the intensity and the atmosphere they have created. Thankfully they have not skipped on the gore and the violence, though, I wouldn't mind if there was more. It makes your perception of their world more real in my opinion as you have something to experience for yourself even if its just from watching.

I like the fact that they try to have different story lines combined with love, jealousy, selfishness and other human emotions/qualities; but the transitions and the developments in each storyline was lacking as it feels they are just crammed in and do not have a natural flow to it as I may say. To me the pace was similar to last season of GOT.

I do not know much about anime production but it seems like they had reached their publishing deadline without actually finishing the job and making sure everything was perfect. The editing was mediocre and some scenes just flew by.

I very much liked the art unlike some other people. Each artist has his/her own way of expressing art and we shouldn't always expect it to be the same as our expectations or liking. Just saying.

Also the plot has holes. It is cool and amusing but with very obvious holes. And some "wtf no sane person would do such things" reasoning behind some actions. It still was fun to watch.

I also get the feeling that this anime has a happy ending kind of story with not many definite surprises. I personally do not like such stories as it is boring, no matter what happens in the end its all good. But I wish I am mistaken.
