Review of 7 Seeds 2nd Season
As far as the art/animation goes, it's just so difficult to look over. Some of the stills from certain distances are just brutal. Some characters I honestly can't even create a proper image in my head from what I've seen because of how often the scale of their facial features change. The actually art in the background is phenomenal, however the characters moving and interacting is just awful. My overall enjoyment, however, is a 10/10. The story is unbelievably intriguing. The experience on the ship requires problem solving, puzzles, and kept me fixated for its duration. Along the way, we also get some amazing and verymuch needed character development.
When Part 1 ended, I basically thought Ango was a rapist piece of shit and Ryo was a murderer. However, Part 2 really expanded on their backstory and I can honestly say I've grown fond of both of them individually and their bond together. Natsu also turned into a little bit of a badass, which was totally necessary! It was really interesting to watch her grow courageous and curious as to what she can do to ensure their survival among the self-destructing ship.
I was also super happy to see Hana alive. Hurray! I know most watchers are rooting for her and Arashi. It was a little bit frustrating that we didn't get much of story expansion on them, but I guess that means there's some more content for a Part 3!
My one small complaint, even though I was very much engaged in the story, is that we basically know as much about their present situation as we did when Part 1 ended. It was nice to see a pace change, considering Part 1 had a million things going on at once and characters introduced at every corner, but all we really got is closer to the characters. I don't actually think that's necessarily a "bad" thing, but if we just wasted an entire season gaining character development for a Part 3 that isn't even going to come, I'm gonna be so mad.
Overall, if you're considering picking up the anime at all, I'd totally recommend it. The storyline is intriguing and the characters are lovable. The animation is horrid but worth looking over.
