7 Seeds sets up an atmosphere of adventure and survival, with friendships forming under pressure and moments that should feel exciting. The sound design and art style stand out as the strongest parts of the adaptation, and they help bring some life to the story.
But the anime never truly pulls you in. The dialogues often lack weight, and while a few episodes hint at discovery and thrill, the overall execution doesn’t make you want to keep watching. The cast is overcrowded, with far too many characters introduced and very little meaningful development. It feels like the story was rushed into just two seasons, squeezing chapters that needed more time. A slower pace with additional seasons could have preserved the depth of the manga instead of flattening it.
The adaptation doesn’t carry the…

Interesting Premise That Doesn't Quite Stick the Landing
7 Seeds Season 1 is a survival anime based on the manga, where a group of young people wake up in a post apocalyptic world after humanity tried to preserve itself through a crazy cryogenic plan. Basically, they’re supposed to be the seeds of a new civilization after a massive disaster wipes out modern society.The concept is really cool throwing normal (well, specially selected) teens into a dangerous, unfamiliar world and watching them figure out how to survive. It has that classic “humans vs. nature” tension with weird mutated creatures, harsh environments, and the psychological strain of being completely alone in an empty world.Some episodes have solid tension and moments where you’re genuinely wondering how they’ll make it.

If you haven't read the manga, It's not a bad show to watch. It has some psychology, spiced with drama, and "what's gonna be next" thing.
The 1st season is much better than 2nd. If you like survival tv shows like uncharted walker, 78, class of the elite, another, then watch this as well. Even if you don't go as far as the 2nd season you can at least give a shot, and go for manga after this.
In my opinion, the show is underrated but still had the 2nd season despite low marks. Recommended.
What the show has to offer?
1. Characters undergo a Test of Moral principles not just survival as there is no supervision at least they think so
2. Societal principles of exclusion from the tribe. Conflict
3. Survival, some good cunning
5. Ethics of the government's decision
6. Characters are new to eac…

✒S1-2 ⚠ The seeds of civilization 🆚 the weeds of human nature ⚠ °Good° °6.9° 💯%🔍 any spoilers are minor
7S is planted in post-apocalyptic soil. Varied Teams of 7 awaken to what is, apparently, a pristine alien-like 🌏; one that's different than the world they all remember in more ways than just the strange virgin landscape.
The team we follow (Summer B) doesn't know what is going on or why they are here; neither do they have any special knowledge or skills. It later comes out that they are a back-up, or alternate team to one of the main ones (Summer A) which only serves to exacerbate the frustration & confusion.
Straightaway, they learn that their situation is perilous. It's been many multiple decades since civilization went under. They aren't entirely sure /how long/ they've been a…

I wasn't expecting much from this, but it surprised me in a good way. The story is pretty interesting actually, and even tho some of the characters are annoying, it's fun to follow them in their journey. I'd recommend it if you want some adventure anime or smth.
I think the story is pretty original. Even though the apocalyptic scenario is seen quite often, it's done in some unique way here. The background for the plot it's pretty interesting and also I like the idea of "saving" specific and different groups of people from the end of the world. Then, it's fun to watch how it will turn out.
The art... is something I didn't like much. It almost made me drop, actually. It's kinda boring, I'd say, and also I don't think it matches the energy of the anime. I've seen the art in the manga and…

7Seeds felt like it had the makings of a great anime, but with poor execution. I haven’t read the manga, but the Anime itself felt more akin to a poorly thought out summer flick/series. Additionally there was not enough there to set it apart from better (in my opinion) anime like “High School Of The Dead” and “The Island Of Giant Insects” which cover similar apocalyptic themes (but with a different skin).
It just felt like an overwhelmingly generic experience; one only slightly better than “Blue Gender (which was one of the most generic and boring anime I have ever watched)” and “Geneshaft (which in fact is the most generic/boring anime I have ever had the misfortune of watching)”. However, despite the aforementioned, I still enjoyed it for what it was and as long as one is not expecting…

7 Seeds it's ok.
The story itself have a lot of potential but the anime lacks a lot of things.
First things first, the characters development it's sloppy, the environment was not well made, the animation it's bellow average. I've questioned the parameters to choose among all human beings, specimens so useless.
I understand that humanity needed healthy and young people, but are those really the best they've got?
In the end it is what it is, a story with a lot of wasted potential and underdeveloped characters (weren't just a few). Usually I wouldn't recommend this, but you know, there are worst anime than this. At least, 7 Seeds have potential.

This first season had potential to offer; in terms of story we can understand where this is taking us but however the animation is horribly poorly done and sloppy. It's really worthy of a Netflix anime, average and bad.
At most, some characters are really annoying but I imagine that plays a role...
The reactions are passable, most are stupid at best.
It's just one more anime to add to your list without really expecting anything exceptional, that said if they could better use the potential of the story and make an effort on the animation it could give interest to the anime.

I walked it to this series without knowing what is was about and the art did not help much but I enjoyed the premise!!!!
The story is about multiple group of teens scattered randomly in this world and our protagonist are abnormal in the fact that they do not have any training and there is a lot of conflict something happens to be bickered about. The show definitely needed to progress twice as fast just backstory and new characters who we barely now they introduced like 15 characters off the whip the ending was a cliffhanger and had some grown ass man around 20 trying to rape a 15 something year old because he hates her dad (she is innocent) and it was a huge turn off since the show is close to reality (survival show) rather than a fantasy not that it matter were the show is set in.

You’ve just awoken years after the apocalypse, stranded on an island. This island is infested by giant man-eating insects, dinosaurs, diseases, and deranged survivors, how do you survive? You don't. You cannot survive because you are braindead. You run around screaming in terror because you are a useless, annoying, brainless shoujo protagonist. Sorry, but someone thought it would be funny to put you—a helpless idiot—into horror anime.
Yet again, Netflix’s algorithms have shat out an awful anime. This time, it’s a blend of shoujo and horror with visuals ripped straight of the early 2000s. 7 Seeds is a fitting title because it took me 7 seconds to realize it's bad enough to rival Mars of Destruction, at least for the first two episodes. It’s so bad because it tries to be gruesome and scary,…

This series baffles me. It baffles me how an author is able to make a work this incoherent without it being a parody. I'll try to avoid spoiling anything in depth in this review, but I might touch on more general story beats.
By far the biggest problem in this series are the characters. Pretty much all of them are one-dimensional. Most of the supporting cast are fucked in the head (psychopath, deranged, rapist, pedophile or a combination of these traits). The rest of the characters is seemingly okay with the behaviour of these people.
All of the characters *constantly* make idiotic decisions. If I were to elaborate on this, I’d basically be recanting the script of the series. For an example, you can look at my forum post for episode 11. To sum it up, these choices include:
- Trusting a…

Summary:
This review is for Part 1 of 7 Seeds, which was produced by a different studio than the second season (part 2). I will eventually review Part 2 as well, which is far superior to this part or "season!"
7 Seeds (part 1) is an anime adapted from Yumi Tamura’s manga of the same name. The story takes place in the future after meteorites destroy Earth as it is today, and the characters wake up thousands or some unspecified number of years later to a brand new climate, environment, geography, etc. Unfortunately, the adaptation from the manga is very poor and this anime falls flat with sporadically developed (and annoying) characters and a disjointed plot. The sci-fi aspect is unrealistic due to the nature of the storytelling and certain living creatures that should be ext…

I watched this in two days, it felt far longer. This was a terrible anime, It had potential as it has a story that is very interesting to me, and could be successful but any character development or crucial moments to plot were so pathetic it was almost funny. The most interesting character has a backstory and drive based off of life being related to fucking baseball. It was so lame. The girl who was about to be slaughtered by mutated bugs decided she should tell the world of her dreams of becoming an astronaut.
The story initially came off boring, but after another episode the mutated land inspired me to continue watching in case it redeemed itself, but it definitely didn't, it had terrible pacing and after some episodes the mutated island of dangerous bugs, plants and other dangers dis…

If you didn't read the manga, it's good. with more budget, it could've been a lot more but its okay. not really comparable to the manga quality-wise, but i still enjoyed it.
amazing ost, good cinematography and great voice acting. loveable, individual characters with interesting backstories and moments of all genres, with complex topics.
so if you wanna watch it, first watch, then read the manga, otherwise it isn't really worth it..
7/10
"set in a post-apocalyptic future, long enough after a meteorite hits earth that new species have evolved, '7 seeds' follows the struggles of five groups of young adults to survive after they are revived from cryonic preservation."

I’ve watched a lot of animes at this point but none of them was so bad that it made me want to write a review about them, until this anime. 7seeds is awful. The manga is awful, too.
The most lamentable point of this anime (and the manga) is the characters. There is no character development whatsoever. They were the most shallow characters I’ve ever watched on anime. It was a plain and straight ride from the beginning. It’s like the author didn’t know where they wanted to take the characters, and by affinity, the story. The characters are very vague and you don’t form a connection nor a sympathy for them no matter how the story forces you to because they frankly are just, awfully-written. The only breath of relief is probably the wolves guy but even his character got awful by making him ju…

7Seeds is okay.
The thing about 7seeds that really isn't that well for a starting season is probably the fact that there was a lot of weird pacing and too much characters to really care about, aside from our horrible princess-dynamic Shoujo protagonist who has a thing for praise or "Daijobu?" all of the other side-characters were alright to really say the least.
For instance, there was a character's dad who treat another character badly, so like the revenge-that-hardly-makes-any-sense syndrome that just follows with this anime, the character takes it out on the daughter of the dad.
Not to mention the fact that there is such a power dynamic and little sense of unity which in a survival situation yes there would be division, but 7seeds makes it so your most hated character suddenly works…

It's no secret that this starts out pretty damn bad. An overall typical plot, a main character that makes you want to drop the series her and now, a group of clichés - the list goes on.
However, I am glad that I decided to give it a chance. Character development slowly makes the MC more tolerable as long as the ones around her, and events twist around the situation when you just thought you understood everything, making it insanely hard to stop watching.
Honestly, give it a try. The first few episodes will be hard to get through, but after that, it gets better and eventually takes a 180 in terms of enjoyment.

In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated shows on MAL. Unlike many other shows with higher scores, 7 Seeds features characters who are neither heroes nor villains. They all have their strengths and weaknesses and it's interesting to see how they interact with and influence each other.
An example of this is Semimaru. In the beginning of the show, he comes off as a bully who is immature, incompetent and stupid (not even "just because", but rather because of his difficult childhood). However, as the show progresses, he grows more attached to the other members in his group and supports the girl he initially bullied.
What makes 7 Seeds so interesting as a survival show is that you get to see how the characters deal with the world they have been put in. It doesn't rely on superpowers,…

The show is a post-apocalyptic one where teenagers wake up to a world that can kill them at any turn. If you read the genre tags I'd say only heed the adventure, drama and mystery ones. I swear the romance ones are there solely because a motivation is living to find/find out what happened to their loved ones. Anyways, decent enough start but depending on how you weigh your annoyance at the characters verses interest in world this may be a decent to terrible show.
Story
The story is generally about groups of people learning to live in their new environment. The story somewhat breaks into mini paths following the different groups. A core part of the story is the exploration and mystery solving. It is a little hard to follow due to it skipping around which I wish they put better tags or set…
