Maybe you are out with friends, eating your family's home-cooked meal or spending time with your girlfriend. When you next wake up, you are suddenly thrust into a strange, new world, surrounded by five strangers on a rapidly sinking boat in the middle of a storm.For Natsu Iwashimizu, this is her new reality. Humanity has perished, and all that remains of the Japanese population are five groups of men and women who were chosen to be sent to the future in hopes of continuing mankind's existence. While every other person chosen has a useful talent such as martial arts, knowledge, or architecture, Natsu is a shy high school girl who cannot even raise her voice to shout. The new world is dangerous beyond imagination, and although Natsu seems to lack helpful skills, she must go with the others making their way to the "Seven Fuji" in order to survive.[Written by MAL Rewrite]Related Entries 7 Seeds 7 Seeds 2nd Season MALxJapan -More than just anime- Characters & Voice Actors Staff Reviews Jun 28, 2019 This anime had a lot of potential which in some ways it met and in others it squandered. Where it triumphs I believe are in creating a more mature story that misses some of the pitfalls of Shonen storytelling. There are no eccentric characters with pink hair, and no villains of the day popping up every other episode. The story it tells is engaging and offers a more realistic take on post-apocalyptic storytelling. Nobody has special powers, they won't triumph over evil by the power of friendship. It's a tale of survival and inter-group tension. As far as character development, when dealing with a character... list as large as this one has it's understandable that not much time is spent on it. Even so, the main characters are all given enough time that their personalities are distinct and relatable. I don't think it's necessary to know the minutia of every characters' thought process so in some ways it's a plus that streamlines the story telling to an extent. At the very least, none of the characters is a caricature (the loli, the pervert, the shut-in, the idol, you know the rest...) and this is certainly a breath of fresh air. The animation, pacing, and sound were mediocre but didn't really take too much away from my enjoyment of the series. A slight spoiler is that the ending is quite abrupt and open-ended. There is no resolution, there is no climax or denouement. It just ends. Reviewer’s Rating: 7 What did you think of this review?

AT. ALL. As it was mentioned before, too many chapters of the original got stuffed into 12 episodes of half-heartedly done animations.This means the main strength of the original story - character development, depth, details and relationships/interactions within a group in a dangerous environment- got thrown out the window. Many events that would further explain the characters and their motivations, have been left out or haphazardly summarized so all the development and understanding of said characters gets lost to the... audience.The whole life of team summer A has been crammed into one short summary! to the anime viewers they have to come across as totally bonkers. Also the cliffhanger makes no sense, only if there was a season2 or even 3 planned, as it is relatively early in the story. The environment and creatures get oversimplified too, Hanas disease even turns into a bubbly mess? The pacing is really out of whack, when the respective parties have already been traveling for quite some time. Also some of the lines certain characters are spouting are really off. every minute of watching it really heightens the discrepancy between original and adaptation. Its too bad the quality of the original gets warped so badly that it gets classified as shojo. it truly isnt just that. Sure it doesnt have those shonen typical fight scenes, there are no superpowers or villains. its more of a depiction of different young people being thrown together in a tough situation left to deal with on their own. And all this is completely neglected by the anime.its such a shame really! the manga is so great and detailed, be it plotwise or character depth or-interactions. It hurts my heart to see this great potential the Manga has being thrown away.i guess at this point its not much more use saying anything more about the anime, for those wanting to know more about the MANGA, read about it on the Mangas page.

Yes!” — Ken Harrelson, baseball announcerBear Grylls would be disappointed by the ignorance in this camping expedition, not to mention the lack of urine consumption. Trust me, though, that’s the least of 7Seeds problems. In a post-apocalyptic world, five sets of seven boys/girls (“seeds”) attempt to survive despite being chased by bizarre tigers, massive insects, and f—kn’ dinosaurs. It sort of sounds exciting, but the mismanagement of the plot and character left much to be desired.Too many... odd events occurred for 7Seeds to be taken seriously. To start, when meteorites were colliding with the earth, a preponderance of the population seemed ambivalent. They displayed distress about the calamitous situation, but were more than willing to forget their troubles for a live concert. Then, when resources became scarce, large swaths of people (obligingly?) got turned into human slushy’s. One would think that society would be in a frenzy from the fears of imminent disaster.On that note, 7Seeds is littered with rape, calamity, disease, and death; yet, it feels devoid of impact. At no point in the series did I empathize with the fictional characters. Probably because most of whom I couldn’t relate to, given their superficial qualities.While most of the characters were stale and wishy-washy, there was one who stood above the rest. Mark — the ventriloquist — decided to dress up as Santa to visit the beach as the world was going to hell. Had sex with an infected women (Acari X virus), because his erection wasn’t going anywhere. Locked people in a freezer because he’s a (n)ice guy. And wore a purple ‘Joker’ suit as he talked to Scarface (Pete) during his last moments. Dude was a legend!The rest of the characters made no positive impressions, they were vacuous. In fact, it was challenging to differentiate them as the number of cast members proliferated. There was some dude playing music all the time, a ‘grim reaper’ who choked Ms. Hana to propagate sexual asphyxiation (or prevent suffering, whatever), and a girl with the hots for this dude with a girlfriend. The number of cliched character was off the charts!The Animation was bland, with no discernment of creative brilliance; the fights, in particular, were unremarkable. The whirlpool in episode 12 was a fine example of terrible CGI, and character designs were conventional, recycled, and uninteresting. The OST was tedious and the enjoyment was paltry-to-non-existent. It seems like the production staff attempted to rely on the mysterious backdrop to inspire excitement, but it was all for naught. 7Seeds was a bore to watch and I would vehemently recommend you watch something else.
