Sekirei + Sekirei Pure Engagement: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]
S**R
The one to get
complete series; purchased another Pure Engagement set for same price; wish I had spotted this first.I have a freely downloaded subbed version off the internet; similar story BUT the English dub's exact language varies a lot from that sub's. I do not have great hearing but those dubbed voices seem like season 1 and their sentence structure sounds correct; unlike other anime dubs and subs where some non-native English speaker is talking and mixing up sentence structure; saying wrong words, like them instead of then and vice versa. Those subbed versions abound in these errors, not this version (I have not read this subbed version, just listened to the voice version). After several years of viewing that poor subbed version this is refreshing. Thisapparently BRAND NEW sealed set was a good buy making viewing PE a pleasure, not a chore. Some shows, both anime and live, will show different scenes on full release vs regular general audience release... that is the case here: many fan-service scenes are redone and thru out the video the dialogue is changed here and there. The story is the same just some of it is different/better.Another issue, never discussed but seen clearly here and even in the OVA's, is the committee decided single teat size and shape: all the Sekirei's have a wide genetic variations: blonds with blue eyes, red heads, brunet and black haired girls of various heights and builds; even some dark and tan skinned ones in the mix. One scene shows 3 girls nude in the bath WHILE their breasts are very slightly different sizes their teats all appear identical: same size, shape and color; as if some committee decided that one teat shape was all their animators should use; too hard to draw special ones for each girl (not likely - they all have individual costumes, faces, hair and height)?? This issue is present in many R/X-rated anime where many girls are topless. Just my own idiosyncrasy and want for realism. Be aware PE Disk 3 is really disk 0 and that OVA's time line is between Season-1 and PE-1; I suggest first viewing it right after Season 1 to keep the context straight.This OVA is the same as another version which I had purchased thinking it was just the first season alone; that "Complete" one also has 2 "OVA"s including the one in this version; some OVA's are left out episodes from the regular season; not with Sekirei it appears each season has it's own unique OVA and PE has it's designated fan-service OVA. Blue-Ray versions are fewer disks BUT have higher resolution shows which really fill the screen which is wasted since anime artwork doesn't have more details like regular photography in actor movies. Still this is a good version and reflects the good storyline and rendering from season 1.

Timeless great entertainment
Sekirei is an Anime and Manga series that will entertain over and over again. I've owned this Anime for several years and can still watch it from beginning to end. This is one of those worlds you can escape into and experience the coming together of strangers who form close friendships and love for one another (Bonds) while trying to live a normal daily life and also contend with the challenges of The Sekirei Plan.The Sekirei Anime series was produced from July 2, 2008 to September 26, 2010. It includes 25 episodes and 2 OVA which were adapted from the Sekirei Manga Sekirei, Vol. 1 chapters 1-73 (Volume 1-8) and chapters 98-107 (Volume 11).Anime fans are aware that Anime producers don't strictly adhere to the Manga's storyline so if you've seen the Sekirei Anime then you'll find surprises in the Sekirei Manga and visa versa. In addition to that, there are several sub-stories in the Manga that didn't make it into the Anime series. It seems the Sekirei Manga's publication (18 Volumes) couldn't keep up with the pace of the Sekirei Anime's production and so the Anime studio probably had to move on to produce other Anime series instead. Now that the Sekirei Manga is complete it would be nice to see another season or two of the remaining Sekirei saga produced to bring the Anime series to a conclusion.

Fan service at it's best...
Harem/Icche, Fighting, and huge bouncing breasts.... what's not to love...Minato believes he is "Nobody special" and a failure, so when a beautiful young girl, Musubi, falls out of the sky and lands on top of him...Literally..... he gets dragged into a game called the Sekirei Plan. A plot by an organization called MBI that forces all 108 Sekirei to fight to the death for the ultimate prize. In order for these Sekirei to reach their full potential they must seek out and find the one human who can unlock their inner power with a kiss. These Ashikabi, as they are called, then become the masters of their Sekirei. When other Sekirei gravitate to the kind hearted Minato, tempers and feelings flare as the girls vie for Minato's affection. Cat fights and jealousy land everyone in hilarious situations, and gets them all in trouble with the "Landlady". As allies and enemies gather for the final battle, can Minato and his harem of Sekirei survive the game before they kill each other first....... Watch and see..Personally, I love this Anime. The fan service is great, but the underlying story, while kind of generic, was still well told. The story progresses at a good pace and doesn't sit still for long periods. It has a few good plot twists, some really hilarious moments, and some tragic ones as well that tug on your heart strings a little. All in all an excellent representation of genre and well worth the watch

A Fun Watch
Sekirei is what you would get if you mix pokemon with a harem sim. Sadly the anime ends without us ever knowing if the MC became a real Sekirei master like no one ever was. The female cast is interesting and there is plenty of fanservice. Much of the personalities feel like they inspired the series My life with Monster Girls. If you like series like High School DXD or just fanservice and comedy you will probably like this. The action scenes are hit or miss depending on the budget. More often than not though it will be a lot of yelling before they decide to fight some other time.

fun and action anime - with lots of 'fan service'
This is seasons one and two of 'Sekirei' - and it's a great anime show (originally released in 2008-10). It's unfortunate that a third season never got made, as the story doesn't quite feel finished ... Nonetheless, what we're presented with is great fun. This boxset consists of x4 Blu-ray discs and x4 DVD discs - so you can choose which format you want to watch. Season one is made up of 12 episodes and 1 OVA, while season two comprises of 13 episodes and 1 OVA - and all of this is included here. I've watched the Blu-ray version - which is region free - and the HD quality is fantastic. (Note, the show is presented in English).This is, from start to finish, an anime series aimed at providing full-on 'fan service'. It's brimming not only with bra and panty shots, but full nudity (with a special focus on big bouncing boobs). None of this is explicit - rather, it's intended to be titillating and playful. So, if you enjoy gorgeous young anime women who act is a seductive manner, you're in for a treat! Given this content, it's not really suitable for children.The story is an adaptation of a manga comic book series. The plot revolves around a young man - Minato Sahashi - who, although intelligent, has failed to get into college. Then one day he meets a girl called Musubi - who falls out of the sky. She's a 'Sekirei' - and has chosen him as her 'Ashikabi', thereby binding them together (and allowing her to use her special powers). She's super strong and agile, and a great combatant. And she must fight other Sekirei ... Yet along come several others who also choose Minato as their Ashikabi - resulting in lots of beautiful buxom ladies vying for his attention. And, of course, lots of girl-on-girl fighting.The action is fun, and the show is thoroughly entertaining. It's light-hearted, and at times quite funny. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, I recommend it.

despite this there's enough of the story there to be entertaining and I would still recommend giving it a
I got both seasons because I remembered watching the first one and enjoying it, but after watching it I remember that I actually watched both seasons and the anime never finished, despite this there's enough of the story there to be entertaining and I would still recommend giving it a watch, or if you're just here for the boobs, you won't be disappointed either.
