 Sekirei - general discussion thread

[Shinka (#128364)]

I'm following the anime, and not till episode 9, due to its uncersorshipness, have I actually started to like it XD.

Its a lot like Ikkitousen, and I didnt quite like that one, with the only difference that this is a harem anime as well.

I dont know the numbers of the Sekirei XD, but I pretty much like all of Minato's sekirei, lol, they are great! Kuu-chan is VERY cute and funny, Musubi is..... well, she is Musubi XD, and Tsukiumi is so cool, but I think the best one is Matsu, she is just so sick XD.

I think there's still one more sekirei that he obtains, right? And she was introduced last episode, Kazehana, she looks strong! Stronger that Tsukiumi, which is pretty cool.

The anime itself, besides is ecchiness which I hope continues to escalate, or at least be on the same lines as episode 9, is not all that bad, I just find it retard that during the fights they seem to aim more for the opponents clothes that anywhere else, but whatever, I'm still enjoying it

[cranston (#84421)]

[Shinka (#128364)]

In the anime so far, episode 9, he has 88, 108, 2 and 9.

Does the number of the sekirei has anything to do with how powerful said sekirei is?

I was pretty sure that 3 was going to end up as his sekirei as well, but I dont know who 6 is yet as I belive she hasnt appeared so far.

My god that man has one hell of an army!!!

Not sure who Shiina is, so I cant answer that question, sorry :S

Oh! And I almost forgot again XD, nice surprise to see who number 1

[cranston (#84421)]

[Shinka (#128364)]

So basically Minato has 4 special sekireis, lol. And I agree with you that 2 is incapable of engaging in physical combat, but I think her role is more of "information is power", as in, not all that counts is physical strength. Not to mention that thanks to her the audience is also able to understand a bit more of whats happening XD.

107 is 108's brother? 108 also looks quite strong actually, and she is the lowest number =P

I cant remember 6 now.... I'll check over ep 1 again to get a look at her.
That means that Minato

[angel (#111641)]

I'm watching it, and actually enjoying it. I really want to read the manga everyone seems so much more beautiful in the manga.

It's the first time I saw an anime with a female with huge**you knows in it** well at least the guy isn't ugly like I notice it anime of this genre. Minato is actually really cute, though I have a werid feeling that I shouldn't be saying that Homura is a hottie.

[cranston (#84421)]

@angel
The manga's also a lot more amusing than the anime. There's a lot of stuff they left out.

@shinka
To paraphrase from the scanlators: "he's got earth, fire, wind, water, and probably heart. what do we get? captain planet!" And yes, 107 is 108's "brother".

Could either of you summarise for me what happens in each ep after ep 6? I stopped watching at ep 6.

[Shinka (#128364)]

[cranston (#84421)]

Thanks. Looking forward to it.

I was looking through the images I have and came across this


Don't know how I missed it earlier, but this is definite siggy material. Much better than the one I've been using. I just absolutely love Miya.

[Shinka (#128364)]

Sorry. Real life cought up to me in a very nasty way and.... well, its complicated.

I'll get on it as soon as I can, tomorrow tops.

And I agree, that is a very good picture, and sure siggy material

[Realist (#135758)]

@ Cranston

Sorry for the late response. We had this HUGE power-outage in the Tri-State area and it left about 750,000 people without electricity for a few days.(Me being one of them.) It finally came back on this morning, though. Also, it's pretty funny but, I was trying to make this post originally when it went out about 3 days ago. lol. It just died on me in the middle of typing. Anyways, here you go.

Eps.#7 Spoilers:

[cranston (#84421)]

Thanks Realist. Did they reveal No 1's identity in ep 7?

[Realist (#135758)]

[cranston (#84421)]

[arb (#136797)]

miya's identity it reveled in volume 3 page 28 the manga, or chapter 18 depending how you downloaded it. and yea they left out a big from the manga, ever added stuff that wasn't in it and changed some other stuff ( /me eye balls the ending the of anime on that one) but they jumped around so much it was kinda annoying.

[cranston (#84421)]

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what happens in ep 9 onwards. If you could give it to me, be much obliged.

[Shinka (#128364)]

I finished the series.

I cant recall exaclty episode by episode, but it pretty much went this way:

[cranston (#84421)]

@shinka
There are some story differences with the manga, but not much. However, you should check out the manga (only scanlations available right now) as it's superior to the anime. Superior in terms of art and story pacing, which are the two things which I absolutely loathed up to ep 6 of the anime. (Ep 6 is as far as I got before I threw in the towel.)

BTW How/why did the bridge collapse? The way you described it seems to indicate that the story diverged from the manga at that point.

At a guess, at the end of the anime, Minato's got 5 Sekirei. The beginning of the next season should start with him trying to wing his 6th Sekirei. This takes roughly 1 whole manga volume (roughly volume 7) but the anime (judging from the 1st season) could squeeze it into 1 or 2 eps. Currently, there's insufficient material for more than that (volume 8 hasn't been published yet), so it may be a year or so 'til the next season. However, in my opinion, we're still only seeing the beginning of events.

[Shinka (#128364)]

I'm sort of lazy to check the manga out XD, and the anime didnt cought my attention all that much.

Anyway, the bridged collapsed because

The difference in the manga is

[Shinka (#128364)]

Lol, as usual, there are considerable differences between the manga and the anime.

I rather how the bridge was destroyed in the manga, it has a greater impact, and

[Endless (#134320)]

I enjoyed this anime, regardless of lack of serious romance and ecchi fest. I'm looking forward to the 2nd season.

[chihuadog (#3254)]

I'm a little late but yeah, I'm now caught up with both the anime and manga. I really wish the manga could come out faster because the story has gotten really good and I can't take the suspense anymore. This anime/manga quickly became one of my favorites.

As for favorite characters, I really like Tsukiumi's design. I'm not one of those people who have a thing for blondes(I like all girls equally-blondes,brunettes,asians, etc) but you have to admit, she's just sooo awesome. The actress who did her voice acting had a lower voice than i expected, but she's still my favorite sekirei by far. I almost feel sorry for her at times that she's probably second to musubi in minato's mind, despite her feelings being so genuine and strong. For someone who normally has so much pride and expectations for herself, she must really like minato to put minato above all those things. It's no coincidence she's also the most possessive of all of minato's sekirei. I think Minato and Musubi are a great anime couple but it breaks my heart to think somewhere down this fictional life of theirs Minato would make a choice and my favorite girl would be heart broken.

[cranston (#84421)]

@chihuadog
Which chapter of the manga have you seen up to?

[chihuadog (#3254)]

i downloaded chapter 76 in mandarin just yesterday. the story has gotten so interesting i wish they were coming out every week instead of every two weeks. i haven't been able to find english scanlations of chapter 76(or 75 for that matter) but that's not too bad since i can read mandarin.

[cranston (#84421)]

[chihuadog (#3254)]

Actually, i agree that chances are minato would never have to make a choice between his sekirei and he would be able to enjoy a polygamy relationship with them all(bedding all his sekirei is only a matter of time, say when they move out and no longer have to live under miya's restrictions). I still feel for tsukiumi a bit(maybe i like her too much) because even in polygamy, she'll always be second to musubi (it's pretty obvious during the whole segment with kuno that minato loves musubi the most--i won't go into detail because i'd be spoiling the story but i'm sure you know what i'm talking about), and i feel like tsukiumi deserves to be first.

[Shinka (#128364)]

[chihuadog (#3254)]

there are probably hentai doujins lying around on the internet. if the show/manga becomes more popular more will pop out eventually.

[Shinka (#128364)]

I'm not much into hentai, but I can forsee an increase in the amount of hentai, doujinshi and animated as well, for this series.

My coment was more of a joke, lol, but I wont deny it annoys the crap out of me the unrealistic nippleless boobs.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Off-topic.

I remember having seen some uncensored hentai.

Oops....

[namja01 (#141047)]

I started following this not too long ago. Initially I wasn't too impressed as Musubi and Minato are the typical stock characters, but the series grew on me.

I do like Tsukiumi's character, though completely stock in design and less so in personality. Still, I find her interaction with Minato and the other Sekirei to be hilarious at times, especially with Kuu-chan.
