Review of 7 Seeds 2nd Season

Before i start: i am a fan of the Manga, and i write about the anime IN COMPARISON to each other = more meta. (TL;DR at bottom) So, the anime by netflix got a second season. What is different? The most apparent thing is the story and pacing. It got so. much. better. ( than the first season) Finally we get some semblance of the character development that the manga is all about, we get the background stories of some characters which should have been explained in the first season. It really feels like this pacing should have been applied in the first season, which was just areally bad summary and skipped on all the important parts. ( for reference, see my review on that one on the corresponding page)

The story focuses on the section of the manga where Team Summer B and a part of Summer A meet, and the contrast couldnt be heavier: The goofy weirdos from B vs the overly serious overachievers (and crooks) of team A. The location for the story is mostly a giant ship intended as both a shelter and armory. The combination of the contrasting parties creates occasions for character development and growth on all participating sides.

Overall i am really relieved this season turned out so much better. Sure, there are still things that dont live up to expectations if you are familiar with the manga. But compared to season 1 this is a definitive progress!

I will still and probably forever recommend the reading of the manga, since this anime still doesnt and will never do it justice ( maybe another adaptation in the future? -- the potential would be worth it)
The story and characters just make so much more sense if you have read it.

I can only partly understand why it gets so much hate, i guess some people are just missing the usual slaughter, magic, tits and fight scenes. If you look at it from a more realistic perspective though, its quite close to how a bunch of clueless teenagers would behave in a situation like that.
( that doesnt mean the scenario with a dystopian post-apocalypse world is depicted realistically)

TL;DR:
Its much better than the first season storywise: better pacing and more character development. Should have been like that in the first season too. Still doesnt come close to the potential of the Manga.
