Mikame-
4 minutes in, the plot has already started and fan service is already happening.
If that's not a great start, I don't know what is.
People like making fun of Minato for failing the entrance exam, not once, but twice. And his luck just seems to get worse, or is it better? It's not real clear.
The Sekirei, mostly girls with abilities who fight each other in secret. Nobody else is allowed to know, besides their partners, called Ashikabi.
There is a lot of fan service, so if you aren't into that, this probably isn't for you. It all plays into the story though and meshes well, since that's one of the paint points of it.
Musubi is adorable and sexy, she's so sweet with Minato and the romantic parts between them are really nice. A while later we meet Kusano, who definitely rivals Musubi in cu…

Overview:
Sekirei is an anime that has never been a critical darling! However, my good buddy convinced me to ignore all the critics and give this series a shot. Unfortunately...I kind of have to agree with the popular consensus on this one. Sekirei has enough problems to make it very hard for me to recommend.
Plot and characters:
The plot of Sekirei is that some hot alien chicks crash landed on Earth and an evil corporation is forcing them to pair up with bland males to act as their “masters” and fight each other to the death in a Battle Royale tournament with the winners getting to ascend into Godhood. If only I hadn’t seen so many highly similar plots in other shitty anime like: Akikan, Kampfer, Future Diary, etc. It must be said that Sekirei is not exactly going to win any awards for…

Sekirei is considered by many to be an underrated gem of its genre. It is definitely a classic harem anime in the sense that we know the main character is not going to pick any of the girls due to his demeanor and the circumstances surrounding the plot. I personally dropped this anime after episode 3 the first time I attempted to watch it. However, after a couple months, I came back to it and it has grown on me, very much so.
For as infamous as this show is for it's very frequent nudity, big-breasted sex-appeal women, and emphasis on Ecchi, Seikirei does actually have a very fascinating plot and setting which balances out its constant innuendos. The Sekirei concept in itself feels much like a mixture of Pokémon, The Hunger Games, and The Running Man all weaved into one (with a lot of dram…

Sekirei is actually a pretty generic show in terms of plot, characters, story, and art. The ecchi and harem aspect can immediately put people off. With those things in mind, this is by far one of my most favorite hidden gems in anime that i've found.
b-b-b-but you gave its a 7?? Yes i did, that's b/c the anime isn't finished; there are two seasons and many rumors about a third. This is also the first anime that has made me pick up the manga. If the story were complete, or at least if there were more episodes, this would get a 9 from me.
Sekirei is about a game played in a large metropolitan city with humanoids (mainly females) having strange abilities that go around battling one another trying to find an ashkabi (mainly male) for them to latch onto and battle for/protect. Its like a gian…

Sekirei is pretty much your generic harem anime, but it does have its own ups. The anime is also a uncensored ecchi anime, not just stopping at ripped clothing but actually taking it to revealing nipples (gasp). The parts I really like is the well done artwork and soundtracks...sound in general.
Story 8/10: Honestly, this is a really good rating for something you see almost everyday...a harem anime. If it wasn't done as well as this one, I'd probably would have dropped the anime and will not be writing this review. The anime takes the generic harem anime and added the creative Sekirei to it. Sekirei is a humanoid alien life form each specializing in combat (not so unique, right?). Here's the thing; the story actually explains where these girls and cuuute boys...well..boy came from. These…

After seeing how so many people gave this a really high rating, I had to review.
First off, this show is one of the worst anime series I have ever seen (the other being Upotte!).
Story: The story is extremely lame, seeing as it is about a student who cannot get into college who cannot do anything at all (how original). One day, as he is walking through the city, a random girl just happens to land on him in midst of a battle. Thus, the start of a weird "adventure." One by one, he meets more of these weird girls that become known as Sekirei. Sekirei are forced to fight the other Sekirei in order to prevail victorious in order to spend all of eternity with their Ashikabi, or their loved one. However, the only thing that really happened was Minato randomly running into new girls, "conquering…

I don't know why people ask me to review harem anime. Yes, I've found a few that I liked, but most of them are heavily misogynistic and treat the women like prizes to be won or vapid automatons that have been programmed to chase after this one very ordinary guy regardless of how he treats them or how obviously he rejects them. Who knows, maybe my general distaste for the genre makes people want reviews to see if their particular one will be one of the exceptions or maybe it's a case of people wanting to see me tear an anime a new one and they figure a harem title has a good chance of filling that role. The series was created by the manga artist, Gokurakuin Sakurako or Sakura Ashika. An artist best known for her shounen ai. The anime adaptation was handled by Seven Arcs, the studio behind I…

While the concept for a good anime was here, it was very poorly implemented. It had a feel on paper as being like a harem-eske version of the Fate series in terms of battles taking place across an entire city landscape. However, the environment that was used was very limited, with the majority of everything happening at the plot characters central hub.
Another major problem was the characters themselves. While the main appeal of the characters was that they were all very clevagey (minus the little sister cliche), inevitably viewers want to learn more about the characters themselves. Because of the small episode count, it makes sense that there wouldn't be a lot of time to learn about the characters in order to make way for the central plot. However, the majority of this anime takes place…

Anime: Sekirei
Title: Meh..... That is all.
About the Anime: Minato Sahashi was living a normal life; he had just failed his college entrance exam for a second year in a row, and lived a quiet life in a single's apartment. That is, until the busty Musubi fell from the sky on top of him! She is a Sekirei, one of 108 that are destined to fight each other until only one remains; and he or she will ascend to heaven with his or her chosen one known as an Ashikabi. Minato soon finds himself in the embrace of Musubi, becoming her Ashibaki - but his life will only become more complicated. Musubi isn't the last to claim Minato as her Ashibaki, and what's worse, plenty of other Sekirei and opponents stand in his way!
Story 4.5/10: If I had to choose a moniker for Sekirei, it would probably be, "T…

Sekirei truly suprised me. I started watching it just thinking it was going to be a pure fanservice show with a bad story (Like Queen's Blade lol) but instead I got a very enjoyable adventure. This is my first review here so I'll break each section down.
Story (8)
I was expecting poor plot but instead I got a story that actually really managed to get me involved. Sekirei are basically superpowered chicks and a couple of pretty boys. They select a human to form a bond with in order to bring out their full power. These humans are called Ashikabi's and for the most part seem to be clueless guys lol. The main idea is that there's a tournament that all 108 of the Sekirei will be competing in. The winner will get to stay with their Ashikabi forever. It seems simple enough but a lot of things ha…

Sekirei is a pretty simple straight foward love-romance ecchie harem anime if you like that stuff then you will love this show if you dont then you will hate it.
I like it because im all for the 4 women likeing 1 dude and trying to out do each other for his love. I also like how the story is simple and easly understood and the fact that all the women are really hot with big brest and short skirts doesnt hurt.
Ok i know this review might not be the best but this was the first time I have ever done a review so please have mercy on me.

It doesn’t take a genius to look at the anime page for Sekirei and have a pretty good idea what you are getting yourself into. But I have a weakness for such shows regardless how silly, played out, and clichéd they usually are. I have to say though that with Sekirei I was pleasantly surprised with the results.
The basic premise for Sekirei was interesting to me. In a lot of ways it reminded me of the action movie Highlander, only with tits and asses. The setting is a town in Japan controlled by the massive MBI cooperation. They are administering a "game" of sorts which pits 108 mysterious girls (and a few boys) called Sekirei against one another in a battle in which only one will get the prize. Each of the Sekirei binds themselves to a human called an Ashikabi with a kiss which grants the…

Sekirei is a great anime if u love ecchi first of all.It doesnt get much better then this. Almost all of the girls in the show have giant boobs that hang out or show major cleavage. Also they almost all have really short skirts that show panties in action scenes, or panties flash out of the blue. The male main character gets alot of attention from his Sekirei(really hot girls) that make this hot too. The thing that I think makes Sekirei awesome, though is that unlike most ecchi anime, it actuall has an awesome plot and it has awesome action and fighting. Each girl in the show has a different power that makes the story line kick ass. Examples are controlling water, plants, wind, or just having super strength.

Important: Forgive my english please. As a french person it's not very easy for me.
Wow!! I'm surprise. I'm not a "harem with overload of fanservice" fan, having be introduce to a lot of crappy show in that context by friends *cough*rosario-vampire*cough**cough*to-love-Ru*cough*. I watch this anime cauze I heard a lot of good comment about it. So here's my review...
Story: You have twelve episodes to tell a good serie and sekirei had done this part almost perfectly. Cauze in that kind of show, usually, you don't have a big original story. The stories are classic being concentrated to provide what I call "overload of fanservice in every aspect"( if you understand what I mean by "aspect"). This show broke a little bit of those rules by adding a story who has some good moment. Despite the f…

This is the other type of animes (besides gory and bloody animes) that I often most likely feel like watching. This is an action-echi-comedy anime. It's like any other you've watched (for instance Tenjou Tenge, Ikkitousen) but this one has a more "pokemon-cath 'em style" theme if you know what I mean. I will include full descriptions in this review because I feel that even if I spoil the story or other stuff you will enjoy this anime not because of the story specifically. Also this anime has, halfway through, explicit content, specifically: nudity. So it's not suitable for underage audiences.
The story is pretty much straight forward as for any of this echi animes. You know: a somewhat failure type of guy is deppressed all over something and then when he is walking home he get's to meet…

I found this anime a great series. It will push people away from showing it in high school, but if you don't love full echhi this is a nice change from the manga. I loved the overall series because i am a huge elemental fan. If you love elemental animes watch this... it's a nice change not just seeing the basic ones of fire, water, wind and earth but getting into weapons and items not usually seen... over all just great anime and can't wait till sekirei 2

Fact Number 1: This is for guys, and it's for guys who either love or don't mind ecchi.
Fact Number 2: Sekirei's story is outlandish, absurd and just downright silly.
Fact Number 3: Sekerei is a TON of fun to watch!
I have to say, any anime that has me giggling for ten minutes at the end of the series gets a good score in my book. This anime is just rediculous by all counts, but as long as you don't take it seriously, every episode is so much fun and has tons of ecchi to boot. I can't WAIT for season 2!
That's pretty much it. You can't really review a story when there really isn't a decent one. haha!

Sekirei has a very obvious harem premise, so caution is required by those who usually dislike this type of anime: 108 creatures, mostly female, spread all over town are to be either willingly or unwillingly "winged" by human masters through the exchange of bodily fluids, most commonly through a kiss, and engage in a battle royale to decide which pair will win and "ascend together unto heaven".
Story:
The plot is linear and simple, a few mysteries are contained as to the identities and motivations of some characters, as well as the true nature of the Sekirei Plan. An interesting aspect of it is the high degree of faithfulness to the manga it's derived from, to the point of the viewer, by the end of the series, be able to pick up the subsequent manga volume and read it without major issues…

Sekirei starts out with your typical pathetic male---couldn't get into college, no close friends, no girlfriend, or any hope at all for anything good to happen in the near future l...until that one fateful day. :P
Story - Pretty generic, yet unique at the same time if that makes any sense whatsoever. Like I said, you've got your typical "down in the dumps" male, Minato, who feels like all is lost after not making it into college, but then he meets this girl who instantly connects with him. The girl turns out to be what is called a Sekirei and now Minato is involved in a game known as the Sekirei Plan. 108 Sekirei have been let loose throughout the city, each looking for someone they adore (technical term 'Ashikabi"). After most of them have found their Ashikabi, the game sets into a new d…

Sekirei is targeted at male audience, viewers who dislike ecchi/harem anime should look elsewhere. Likewise, those who love fan service should give Sekirei a try. It contains all the "ripped up clothes" scenes, "censored panty" shots, "semi-bare breasts", etc. You will not be disappointed.
It should be noted that while the show does follow the manga quite closely for the most part, the ending of the anime does deviate from the manga a bit.
Story:
Are you familiar with Fate/stay Night? If you are please continue reading this paragraph, if not skip to the next. Upon reading the synopsis, you may find Sekirei's plot to be very similar. In fact, to sum it up in a nutshell, the major difference is that instead of 8 servants fighting each other, this time we have 108 seikirei instead. But rath…
