Review of 7 Seeds
as a fan of the manga, i can only say: READ THE MANGA!!!!!!!! so TL;DR : the anime doesnt do the Manga justice. AT. ALL. As it was mentioned before, too many chapters of the original got stuffed into 12 episodes of half-heartedly done animations. This means the main strength of the original story - character development, depth, details and relationships/interactions within a group in a dangerous environment- got thrown out the window. Many events that would further explain the characters and their motivations, have been left out or haphazardly summarized so all the development and understanding of said characters gets lost to theaudience.
The whole life of team summer A has been crammed into one short summary! to the anime viewers they have to come across as totally bonkers. Also the cliffhanger makes no sense, only if there was a season2 or even 3 planned, as it is relatively early in the story. The environment and creatures get oversimplified too, Hanas disease even turns into a bubbly mess? The pacing is really out of whack, when the respective parties have already been traveling for quite some time.
Also some of the lines certain characters are spouting are really off. every minute of watching it really heightens the discrepancy between original and adaptation. Its too bad the quality of the original gets warped so badly that it gets classified as shojo. it truly isnt just that.
Sure it doesnt have those shonen typical fight scenes, there are no superpowers or villains. its more of a depiction of different young people being thrown together in a tough situation left to deal with on their own. And all this is completely neglected by the anime.
its such a shame really! the manga is so great and detailed, be it plotwise or character depth or-interactions. It hurts my heart to see this great potential the Manga has being thrown away.
i guess at this point its not much more use saying anything more about the anime, for those wanting to know more about the MANGA, read about it on the Mangas page.
