7Seeds

I've not read the Manga so keep that in mind.. The story and concept is very fresh and appealing, as is the unusual trope twists, and the characters have promise, but it's not quite there..

Especially as of the second season, the characters are missing that key element that makes you really connect with them and make mistakes that go beyond excusable to the inexcusable, but I don't regret the time spent watching it, yet..

Don't be surprised if they give this another go in 10+ years time.

Other than the plot being amazing and gripping, everything else is unmemorable.

It feels like throughout the series they (the production) don't know where the story is going, who to focus on, who needs character development. It is just floating in the air, it lacks purpose.

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.

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.

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.
