    Like watching porn for the story

    I'm sure Sekirei had a coherent plot to it, but it's a bit difficult to find when you're honestly just watching the show because there's boobs. If you really enjoy less-than-exciting fight scenes laced with nudity, this is the anime for you. If you're a horny teenager and your parents monitor your internet, here you go. If you're a creepy middle-aged weaboo, you'll be right at home. Otherwise, go look up porn somewhere other than Netflix and move on with your miserable life. There are plenty of shows with interesting, intriguing, and enticing story lines and endearing, inviting, and intricate characterization. This is not one of those. Whatever your preferred qualities are for a show, something else does it better.

    Entertaining

    I found this show very entertaining.i dont know why people are badmouthing this series so much.i don't see any problem here. Definitely good plotline likeable characters and decent actions.i think the creator needs to focus on fighting scenes(like badass fightings,something like rage scenes) and soundtrack.i found this series good though.i know all have different tastes but this is definitely good in my point of view.waiting for season 3(Excepting thrilling actions and twists from season 3). Thank you Team.

    To Love-Ru meets Ikki Tousen..Sort of.

    Now, after watching both seasons of Sekirei, the one thing I can say is that this is, in a way, your standard Harem Anime. Lots of Ecchi scenes, lots of big breasted women and lots of Nudity. But this in no way means that the plot is weak.

    Minato Sahashi is our physically weak and confident-lacking protagonist. By no means is he one of those characters with some hidden power. He's just an average human being with nothing that makes him special, per se. He's intelligent but lacks confidence in himself and does not deal well under pressure, which is why he has failed the University Entrance Exams two years running now. One day after making his way home from the University, he suddenly encounters Musubi, Sekirei #88. Dropping in on him from the Sky. He protects her from her pursuers, twin Sekirei, who attack all Sekirei that have yet to Emerge. The pact between a Sekirei and their Ashikabi is made through a kiss.

    Sekirei are mystical beings who were found by two people on an island that had mysteriously emerged from the Sea. They were found by Minaka Hiroto and a lady named Takami. There are 108 Sekirei, the single digit Sekirei being significantly stronger than the double-digit and triple-digit Sekirei. Minaka Hiroto has set up a game which most Ashikabi are dragged into unwillingly. According to him, the self-proclaimed Game Master, Sekirei exist only to fight and kill each other. So he decides to hold what is known as The Sekirei plan. In this deadly game of life or death, there are several stages and each Sekirei must compete to survive and find their chosen Ashikabi.

    Pretty, with potential that is unrealized.

    What we have here is a somewhat ecchi presentation of females running about trying to make a story out of the various elements the author brings into the movie. The rampant nudity, huge boobs of nearly all the female characters, and routine fan-service - which I'm certainly not against - don't come close to saving this haphazard & amateurish attempt at telling a tale, particularly the last episode, which is pointlessly stupid beyond belief. In fact, all that pizzaz is distracting & even irritating when you don't have an intelligent plot- line to give it all purpose. Scantily clad and nude sexy young women scampering about destroying each other for no intelligent reason, and no definable goal ("you'll get something good at the end if you're the last one standing"), led by a psychotic "game-master" who achieves that position by who knows what means, is a thin storyline at best. As an author myself who enjoys anime, I know it could easily have been made better! Laziness and lack of imagination caused it not to be. A solid, heartfelt story never quite materializes. What IS there is overly sketchy & under-developed, & isn't concluded in any sensible or satisfying way. The author is overly consumed with keeping his psychopathic villains and not much concerned with the status and well- being of his heroes and heroines, who suffer mightily at the hands of their foes, sometimes ridiculously & inordinately so.

    The magic employed by the characters is weak and nonsensical, while the characters themselves are mostly stupid - you'd HAVE to be to play this deadly "game," because the only true villain here is the game- master and his cronies, the destruction of whom should be the real plot of the story. Characters are also uni-dimensional and even pathetic, occasionally foolishly falling victim to their foes and then suffering for it, something employed to create drama, which it actually doesn't, because it is so dumb. As for the animation, it's only fair, while the graphics are pretty decent, which makes it visually pleasing to watch. This is a series that had a good idea, and could have offered up a great story, with powerful relationships and heartfelt drama, but it did what was easy and quick and so failed to do that - a shame, really. What you're left with is sexy, overly busty animated women, occasionally delightfully nude, dancing about trying to kill each other because some psychotic says they should so he can get his jollies from he fray, unconcerned about the human carnage. As for a deeper story and adventure, you really need to find that elsewhere.

    • Trivia
      A "sekirei" is the Japanese wagtail bird. In Japanese mythology, this bird is sacred to the creation gods Izanagi and Izanami, and is sent to earth to make habitable and fertile lands and to enable couples to procreate.
    • Goofs
      According to the exposition in the series, there are only 108 Sekirei total. However, this is contradicted by the existence of "discarded numbers" (some sort of "failed" Sekirei whose shortcomings are not explained) in addition to the 108 acknowledged Sekirei.
