Review of 7 Seeds

I really didn't want to do anything around this anime much less a review but here I am, doing one mostly because P2 dropped on Netflix and my OCD's demanded that I watch it even though I disliked this part. First of all I rated this title a 3 overall, which I felt honestly was a better score than it deserved. I'm going to refrain from remitting the summary of the title as everyone can read that in the synopsis section here. If your thinking about watching this and seeing the heinous score its receiving from most of the other viewers its because its somewhat warranted. Toexpand on that I thought I'd pitch a couple pennies into the jar as well.

Firstly the story is not very cohesive, the concept is good and the ideas behind it are solid but the execution of it is terrible. The title doesn't seem to know what category it wants to reside in so its all over the board trying to hit all the check boxes for all categories.

This leads to a very jarring viewing experience and you'll either love it or hate it.

I personally couldn't tell if it was a romance, drama, survival, horror, or what it was. It started out as a survival type apocalypse story, then shifted to a romance, back to drama, then into a horror, threw in some psychological, mixed it all up, added a olive a viola, a martini shaken, not stirred.

Next there are way too many characters and the story is trying to tell the entirety of it through all the character's experiences as they deal with the situation(s) they find themselves in. If done correctly it can lead to a cinematic experience that will leave you feeling very satisfied, here however it just adds to the chaos the story has already produced with its erratic story line.

The characters themselves are very shallow and plain, really nothing to them that makes them stand out as any type of person we as the viewer can relate too regardless of the circumstances. I felt that they were flat and had just the basic personality painted onto them to make them somewhat "life-like". Plus the dialogue is dry and lacking any depth itself. Pretty much as run of the mill you can get without making it like your choking down straw.

The rest of it was about mediocre at best and really didn't cause me to like or dislike it based on the art or sound.

Overall, this is a great time killer or something to keep on while your grinding through whatever game your playing, but to pay attention to it or become invested into the story, characters, world and narrative, yeah sorry it'll probably let you down.
