This is one of those disasters that has incredible potential, sensational idea, but horribly executed. The characters are extremely bad, being weird + bad story behind each one, they didn't get it right once. This idea of an SAO-type novel doesn't work, it's certainly the biggest IMBECIL thing to put in a script, especially when you don't know how to make one. The plot was humiliating, I don't know how I had the courage to keep watching, if you see someone giving a score higher than 3/4, you can be sure they are a fan of SAO and don't have a critical sense. If you don't have a basic criteria to choose what to watch, maybe it's better to waste your time watching it than doing nothing, but it's at your risk, the work is terrible, I think your time doesn't equal something so bad.

Is this anime ever going to have a second season? The first one in my opinion was fine i kinda liked it. But letting the story unfinished makes me more confused than how author just disappeared from existence. I would recommend to watch this anime if you like animes like sword art online is a good rip off of it i would say.
And abt the magical powers this anime have they are kinda good to watch and story is good too. Animation i would give a 7 out of 10. Anyway if you cant wait for another season(well ods are low this is going to happend) i recommend you to not watch this anime, your choice.

Being cliched and a ripoff is a dime a dozen in anime, being an entire medium with tons of genres and even mix and matching those genre to bring us something new in the process, the difference between a cliche riddled anime and a "great" anime is if it can utilize it's cliches well or exceed them and Shichisei no Subaru did the former.
Shichisei no Subaru is an anime that takes plot beats and cues from Anohana and Sword Art Online and does ALMOST nothing with them, actually no, to be lenient, Shichisei no Subaru more or less apes it without knowing what MADE Anohana and Sword Art Online household names and where Shichisei no Subaru falls.
So why did LA make the comparison to Anohana and Sword Art Online?, well first Anohana, Shichisei no Subaru's main cast are essentially Anohana's main…

Honestly this anime is very underrated. Why? It doesn't have the commen flaws every anime has. I'm talking about bad communication leading to endless problems that could have been forseen had they JUST talked. Or girls who are to afraid to ask a boy out, etc..
Basicly, this anime doesn't have those problems, the characters are far easier to relate to. Sure they are still shy, quick tempered, sly, ... but we don't waste endless episodes on feelings or never get to see them confess at all, it's the opposite. I really like that because short animes ( 12 episodes ) usually don't give you much.
Story
I didn't like how we got the most important information in (I think?) the second episode. Took the mystery away, I've seen enough 'video game trapped' animes to understand what could sort of be g…

I really, really liked this anime.
The characters were engaging and their interactions were both believable and compelling. The writers actually managed to balance the shounen-ness you get from similar anime such as SAO, and cut it with awesomeness from other characters which overshadows it completely, which is made all the better by the fact that the most awesomeness always happens when people combine their strengths. The representation was great, and the line between who is protecting who is very pleasantly vague. The plotline is very engaging and the pacing is perfect, with a first episode that grabs the attention and a continuous march toward something too large to be handled. If you like deep character interactions, good representation of women characters, or if you're just a fan of…

Now this was a short and sweet anime. I love OP or Legendary characters coming out the wood-works to show the gamer's of the new world how it's done. So I dug the premise just reading it. So Good anime right here.
I loved the female protagonists. They really added the immaturity of a child and the maturity of a woman. While the Male counterparts, specifically Haruto and Takanori were still in the mindset of a young boy who is super dense.
I did like when Haruto came in clutch in episode 12. Though I wished there was an extra episode where they fight as a unit instead of a separated entity that gathers near the end but at half power until someone gets a power up lol.

A young girl (and love interest) dies, shattering a close-knit group of kids.
"So it's like Anohana?"
Well, it happened in a video game. And she shows up in a remake of said video game.
"Uh... So it's like Anohana meets SAO?"
Dude, this doesn't involve a high school boy in drag, nor does it involve imprisoning thousands in a game that literally kills you. "So you're saying it's a mashup? It was written after both of those--"
Look, just blame the publisher, all right?
It's hard to avoid the comparisons to Anohana, SAO, or similarly-themed anime, particularly when those hit series aired well before the first volume of the original novel. I think it was an interesting take on the genre mashup, though I'm not so sure about some of the "mechanics" of the show, so to speak.

Re'union kept me really hooked. Never before have I seen a show that was so bad that I couldn't stop myself from watching just so I could hate it even more. Like it's such a terrible show that I genuinely felt happy when I saw it's scored so low on MAL.
The main character of the show is Haruto who is basically budget Kirito from SAO. He's overpowered as crap and of course he has a whole harem at his back and call. However, unfortunately for the show, Haruto is somehow even worse than Kirito because instead of being this character who at least smiles, he's this depressed boi that cheers up literally less than half way through the show even tho he blames himself for the death of his friend for six years. Like WHAT?!?!?!? I don't know about you but that right there is just so dumb, and if y…

It was the day that he'd just finished Anohana. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he clenched his Asuna body pillow in anguish.
"What a beautiful story."
That was the thought in his mind.
It had reminded him of what life was truly about. It made him want to reach for the stars, achieve the dreams he'd once given up on. He looked at his Asuna pillow, and his eyes began to sparkle.
He took out a notebook, and began to let his thoughts pour out onto the paper.
"A story of love."
"A story of letting go of the past." "A story of friendship."
He wanted to write a meaningful story, and in the end, he accomplished that goal.
The greatest crossover story of all.
'Anohana Art Online'.

Please note that I am writing this review as someone who hasn't read the light novel. This is purely coming from my experience as an anime-only watcher. BE WARNED! THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING OF THE SERIES AHEAD!
Shichisei no Subaru caught my attention first and foremost for one thing-- being an anime about an MMORPG and having a character who died in game and, as a result, also passed away in real life. My first thought was of my favourite anime, .hack, but I wasn't expecting a clone of it or anything. It's hard to come up with something original in this day and age. SnS managed to put an interesting twist on this now commonly used plot-device with the motives of the antagonist group-- to use the powers from the online games Union and RE:Union in the real world. Unfortunately, this…

Non spoiler section: This show starts out ok but quickly it becomes clear it is just another mmo anime cash grab and the makers don't actually know much about mmos and the bad writing/plot holes become obnoxious. I suggest giving it a pass.
Spoilers: The characters are actually interesting if not the most original and there are actually some complicated relationships going on and not just your typical every girl is in love with the main character because he is the greatest player of all time story. But sadly other than the characters not being complete trash and the game world looking fun to play in everything else is dumb.
In an mmo levels matter because otherwise people wouldn't bother to train at all and what would be the point of having levels to begin with? In this mmo a new player…

Never before have I seen an anime as rage-inducing as this one, so much that I specifically created an account to review it.
Seven Senses of the Reunion. How about we call it Seven Senses of Asahi instead?
From the get-go, there are only two words that matter in this whole damn anime: Asahi and Senses.
While I'm tempted to mention SAO and Anohana here, even comparing Subaru to those two would be an insult to the latter. Yes, SAO is lame, and yes Anohana is a little cringy, but alas.
Cringe-worthy stories and cardboard characters are tolerable. Plot armor is horrendous. Combine the three, and you got an anime not worth watching. But surprise surprise, Subaru went above and beyond, reaching new heights of being horrible to the point that it's enjoyable to watch it burn (Ousama Game, anyo…

This is not a MASTERPIECE nothing we can do...
Plus, it is way too childish for an anime with action
Oh well they started playing as a kid so we can't remove that fact..
And but the romance I can't accept it since it is way TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
childish and mature at the same time I mean its mature the fact that
They like someone so much that they'd control their feelings
at first that is... and IT IS GODDAMN CHILDISH they are crazy and a certain
female is a psychopath I mean she didn't even got raped and she acts like a bitch. WATCH THE ANIME SO YOU'D KNOW WHO IS THAT PERSON
I WOULDN'T WANT TO SPOIL e.e
P.S: This is my honest thoughts and my bad for such review.
Still liked it because of the genre so Its actually not bad aside from what I pointed out.

Shichisei no Subaru
The MMORPG game world called "Union" is a legendary party known as "Subaru". The party has seven members who are actually childhood friends and schoolmates. Because of an incident, "Union" was forced to turn off the server and make the Subaru party split up.
Six years later one of Subaru's party members named Haruto logged into a new gane and it turned out that he was reunited with his old friends. And one of them was the one who should have died six years ago.
Story (4/10)
from the beginning of the story I was surprised that the main character Asahi was killed in the dungeon that might be quite surprising, from this series it might be similar to anohana and sword art online series.
Character (6/10)
for my own character, I'm not sure in this series there are so many…

The summer 18 anime season is one of the worst anime seasons I have ever seen period. Yes the summer 18 anime gave some shows that I really liked such as Banana Fish, Planet With, High Score Girl and Grand Blue but at the same time it was a season that gave us a bunch of anime shovel-where to a point it overweight the good meaning this was indeed a shovel-ware anime season. Seven Senses of the Reunion is the embodiment of the summer 18 seasonal anime shovel-ware because not this is fundamentally awful in every way possible but it simply does not care that is ripped off Sword Art Online and Anohana without giving a damm. Now with that said let's dive in into this shitfeast shall we.

So the concept of the anime is very similar to Anohana, and I think that may be part of the reason why people hate it so much - it seems like a bland copy. But just because the concept is similar, it doesn't necessarily mean that Shichisei no Subaru is a complete ripoff. Yes, there are some similarities, but Subaru does execute them differently (though it's hard to be specific about this without spoiling). The main difference though, is the fantasy and action aspect. I think these were implemented well enough to give the anime an original feel, and the monsters were surprisingly cool sometimes. I also enjoyed the characters for the most part. Some of them were similar to anohana, painfully so. But they were still given development at least (the main ones anyway) and character development i…

The story of Shichisei no Subaru was actually pretty decent until the anime ended and nothing really escalated story wise. You wish as the viewer that something would be solved but no nothing gets answered and the only thinkg this anime becomes is a far lesser...and I mean like Rock Bottom lesser version on Anohana...the Asahi we Lost that day.
The Art and Animation was average at best. Which is a surprise because Lerche usually does really good work. I guess they heavily focused on a better anime in Asobe Asobase this season.
The sound and Music was nothing special.
Character wise I gave it a 5 and thats generous because less then half of the Main characters were actually enjoyable. (Satsuki, Clive, and Elicia) Taanori was growing on my because he did not stay fixated on Asahi but yeah…

Shichisei no Subaru is nothing. Nothing unique, nothing memorable, nothing worthwhile.
This show has no individuality and it will assuredly be remembered by no one. If you've watched even a quarter, no, a sixth of the anime shows I have (which isn't much mind) you've seen everything about and to this already, and yeah, that by itself isn't too bad; I mean there's a whole lot of anime out there and "originality" to a degree, is a fallacy, right? Except... none of it is repackaged in any way to create individuality for this show, there's no "effort" made past simply putting the blocks together. There's no effort to BE something itself. It's an accumulation of all the common tropes and characters we've all come to know, put together and packaged in see-through plastic. There was no effort h…

Video games are part of our society’s norm. I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy video games today. One of the most popular genres is MMORPG where socialization is part of gameplay. As an unwritten rule, many people play MMORPGs to connect with others. Here, we have this show called Shichisei no Subaru (Seven Senses of the Re’Union) that unites in-game characters together in a fantasy world. You probably heard this many times before but shows like this are not going to disappear any time soon. It’s a popular concept with great potential. But unfortunately, Shichisei no Subaru breaks that potential and limits itself to mediocrity.

"This anime is worse than the ones I saw 5 years ago, because I saw this one today."
There is no limit to the ripoff and plagiarizing claims in the current "critical" atmosphere. In 2011, we got AnoHana, an anime which originality was limited to its ridiculously long name no one to this date has been able to memorize. And in 2012, we got Sword Art Online, anime which originality was entirely limited to the fact that it had none. Apparently, this anime produced in the lord's year of 2018, Shichisei no Subaru, is a ripoff of both: Sword Art Online and AnoHana...... Great.
