## Description

THE PENULTIMATE HAREM COMEDY! Minato may not be able to pass the college entrance exam, but he's about to learn something amazing about himself He's an Ashikabi, born with the ability to partner with the Sekirei a special group of 108 beautiful girls with incredible powers! WARNING! Otaku wish fulfilment in the extreme. May feature occasional nudity and Japanese oddness!

Review: Surprisingly enjoyable! -  Yes, I know: admitting that an anime series which features naked female flesh in abundance is really enjoyable is more than a little suspect. For a guy. (And perhaps for some women too.) So let's get that out of the way first: since the nudity is of the rather grotesque variety there is no real titillation-factor here. Breasts that approach melon-size are so unrealistic that they must primarily be considered a spoof. And not only are they generally covered up fairly quickly here (not counting the occasional bathing scene), but the main protagonist Minato is too polite and kind-hearted to ever sexually approach any of the busty young women entrusted to him. And too closely watched by de facto chapperone Mya to ever really get a chance to, as well. So I don't really see too many people watching a series like 'Sekirei' for the animated female nudity, nor for the pleasure of seeing girl-on-girl fights. Basically, if you've seen one of those fights in 'Sekirei', then you've seen them all. Not counting the ones that feature special powers, such as fire, water, ice, earth quakes or gusts of wind with rose petals. But in those it's the special powers that take center stage, and not so much the women using them. No, the main attraction here has to be the story with love and self-sacrifice at its core. The main antagonist Minaka, head of the conglomerate MBI, has set up an evil game which forces 108 young women and men (but mostly women) to fight each other or lose their chance of being with the one they love. These young women and men are the Sekirei and each has certain special powers. They become stronger once they 'emerge', by being kissed by their one true love, also called their Ashikabi. This is where the series begins (after a flashback scene that is only gradually explained as the series continues). Protagonist Minato rescues the as yet un-emerged Sekirei Musubi (pronounced as 'Moozavee') from 2 emerged Sekirei who are cowardly trying to defeat her while she is still weak in her un-emerged form. Musubi decides that Minato must be her Ashikabi and kisses him, thereby becoming emerged and more powerful. Although her attitude towards Minato can be mistaken for submissive, he never abuses the power he has over her. The same goes for the other Sekirei that choose him as their Ashikabi. So any critics who label this series as centering around naked, submissive young women simply miss the mark. Although some unsympathetic Ashikabi who mistreat their Sekirei briefly make an appearance on the show, Minato's respectful treatment of women is clearly idealized here. Not what you might expect based on the DVD-casing featuring Musubi and her ample bosom, or some of the rather lewd comments included on the back of the case. To cut a lengthy review short: don't judge a DVD by its cover. This series has a warm heart and is all about doing the right thing in very difficult circumstances. And about people (and the superhuman Sekirei) eventually rising above themselves. Don't let some playful nudity and the occasional lewd joke obscure that.
Review: Very Amusing Nonsense - Fundamentally this is a pretty standard "failed but re-trying hapless male university candidate (ronin) becomes involved with a series of females with enhanced powers battling one another in something to do with taking over the world" anime. The females (obviously) wear a wide range of fetish costumes that tend to almost entirely fall off with great regularity. They also seem to take a lot of baths. Boobs, panties and embarrassing situations abound. You spend a lot of time both not quite knowing who's who, being occasionally confused about gender and neither knowing nor caring about the overall alleged "plot". So why do I give it five stars when I would normally either throw this stuff away or watch it grudgingly because I don't have anything else to watch? Its difficult to work out how this particular kind of fan service-laden offering - ie something that is potentially very tacky turning out to be actually quite good - ever gets created. I can only imagine a scenario something like this. A maker of good quality anime videos discovers they have nothing worth doing for a few months and tells their very talented team to just produce some tacky nonsense that will appeal to adolescents and sad old men to keep the studio solvent. Meanwhile all the senior staff who normally keep everything tied together go on holiday. The remaining juniors do their best to work to the specifications but, to avoid boredom, somehow just can't help doing far more with the job than is technically required. The resulting mixture is a mass (even a mess) of self-indulgent, meaningless virtuosity that they've all had a really good time doing. And the result is highly watchable. The endless but inoffensive fan service (I'm no prude but its not my thing) is actually very funny. The bizarre characters are so well done you actually stop asking why "she who would battle to win the world" dresses in a milkmaid's outfit and speaks as if she's from 17C England. You don't so much suspend your credibility as post it to Timbuktu without a return address. If you've dragged yourself through the horrors of Death Note, and are still weeping tears of sadness and joy from Clannad and/or Angel Beats, this will remind you anime can actually be fun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As good as I had hoped.
*by J***Y on 16 August 2013*

I'm a fan of the manga and bought this in the hope that it would be entertaining. It is extremely entertaining and I was pleasantly surprised. Their voices aren't always what I had imagined but they're still very good, and I would recommend this to anyone who feels they can just take the gratuitous fan-service in the way it is intended - it's a bit of fun.
