Review of 7 Seeds

In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated shows on MAL. Unlike many other shows with higher scores, 7 Seeds features characters who are neither heroes nor villains. They all have their strengths and weaknesses and it's interesting to see how they interact with and influence each other. An example of this is Semimaru. In the beginning of the show, he comes off as a bully who is immature, incompetent and stupid (not even "just because", but rather because of his difficult childhood). However, as the show progresses, he grows more attached to the other members in his group and supports the girl heinitially bullied.

What makes 7 Seeds so interesting as a survival show is that you get to see how the characters deal with the world they have been put in. It doesn't rely on superpowers, mindless action, gore, jump-scares, bleak landscapes or melodrama to be interesting, but rather on the mindsets, motivations and struggles of the people in it.
