Review of 7 Seeds

This had a lot of potential, based on what people say about the manga. Darn shame what happened to it. Has all the hallmarks of being written by committee. Characters constantly doing things required by the plot instead of their characters, sudden inexplicable and logically inconsistent plot points (Dinosaurs? A perfectly preserved ship ready to sail after millenia untended that everyone just knows how to sail properly?), conflicts that don't lead to changes or that are forgotten when they damn well should not have been. The list goes on. Not that there aren't good things - there are some decent moments hereand there that might have been in a better version of the series. But overall a disappointing take on a what could have been a really solid story.

I gave it a 6 here because it managed to keep me watching all the way to the end, even though I was annoyed a lot of the time.
