Sekirei… has its problems. Most notably revolving around the well endowed bosoms of all the females that gather themselves around Minato, the male lead. It’s obvious that its premise is partly there for the boobs, but alongside that it does pull off something that just about every fanservice show is missing: an actually interesting plot. [...]

Musubi and Kusano takes Chiho to MBI, but... Turn your phone to vibrate if you want to sneak around unnoticed. Summary: While Musubi and Kusano are taking Chiho to MBI, Matsu is still at the hospital downloading Chiho's medical records and sending them to Takami while Tsukiumi stands guard. Most of the staff are distracted by the giant tree that Kusano erected in front of the hospital, and so Matsu and Tsukiumi are left alone to their activities. While waiting for Matsu, Tsukiumi spots Higa's bespectacled Sekirei making a phone call about the situation and calling for backup. The Sekirei spots Matsu and Tsukiumi who quickly make their exit out the nearest window. Back at the inn, Minato receives a phone call from Takami saying that MBI can save Chiho. Minato and Takami then let Uzume talk to Chiho for a bit, and Sekirei and Ashikabi express their love for each other. Higa's Sekirei #31 Sai tells Uzume to get to work, but Uuzme declares that she's changing sides. Sai and #40 Shi refuse to back down, but Kazehana and Homura send both of them sprawling to the ground. Minato's group is getting ready to celebrate, but Sai isn't done yet and in a last ditch effort she throws her knife towards Minato in hopes of killing Minato and deactivating all of his Sekireis. Uzume spots the attack and steps into the way, and she is stabbed through the back by Sai's knife in front of Minato's eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We all know that Minato's plan will run into some bumps along the way, but I didn't expect the story go right into the ultimate conclusion and take out Uzume. The stab looks like a very serious wound, so the chances of Uzume being deactivated is rather high. If Uzume were to be taken out by this attack, then she would bow out in a similar fashion as she did in the anime (throwing her body in the way to save someone from Minato's group while Minato's other Sekirei were staring out into space). Perhaps keeping the manga and anime somewhat consistent is the reason why Uzume is suddenly stabbed. There I was hoping for something a bit more dramatic... I half-expected Uzume to be defeated at the end of the operation, but I thought it'd happen with more of a struggle between Minato and Higa's forces. Other than the last attack on Uzume, Minato's operation has gone surprisingly smooth and it appears that Higa's crew were caught with their pants down. Maybe the author just wants to move on from Uzume and Chiho and on to the growing conflict between Minato and Higa. Supposedly the next chapter will be in November if the translations are correct, so fans will have plenty of time to speculate whether Uzume will actually be deactivated or not.

Minato and company are caught in Minaka's game. This is the greatest challenge we've ever faced: stairs and a long hallway! Summary: In the MBI building, Minaka declares that Minato's group has only one hour to reach the top, and Minato's group travels upwards through the stairs as the elevators are disabled. On the way, Minaka activates various traps using his PSP and uses Benitsubasa and Haihane to draw away Kazehana and Tsukiumi respectively. Good job there starting a forest fire, Homura. Back in the forest, Homura unfreezes himself and sets the woods ablaze, forcing Akitsu and Taki to retreat. Homura then gets a call from Takami telling him that the backdoor path to the control room is full of booby traps. Homura wants to get back to Matsu and Kusano, and so he runs right into the underground tunnel and has to dodge booby trap after booby trap. Elsewhere in the tunnels, Matsu and Kusano are forced to hide atop of the ventilation shafts when Mikogami and Mutsu come looking. Instead of finding their quarry, Mutsu and Mikogami run into Karasuba instead. Mutsu and Karasuba have a brief sword fight before Karasuba leaves. You can't separate a man and his toys. Main event of the episode: Musubi fights a giant rolling ball. It was a surprisingly short match. Probably should move out of the way by now. In the meantime, Matsu and Kusano makes it to the control room and shuts down all of the traps in the MBI building, but Matsu soon gets locked out of the system while Kusano strains to hold back the security bots Minaka had deployed. At the MBI building, Minaka pulls the self-destruct lever and the building starts to blow up. Benitsubasa and Haihane make a quick exit, and this frees up Tsukiumi and Kazehana. Meanwhile, Minato and Musubi are still climbing up the stairs towards the top of the skyscraper. Lots of fire but no fireworks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mmmm... Seven Arcs' attempt to shape up a compelling season finale is not going too well. This episode had plenty of "action", but all the fights were meaningless and the booby traps were trivial against Minato's Sekireis. There wasn't much to be impressed about, and the thing that irked me the most was why Minaka for no good reason blew up his company headquarters? I know he's an eccentric guy who likes to play games and has done a bunch of unreasonable things (including setting up the current scenario), but blowing up his own building still seems beyond his level of stupidity. They needed something to give the finale a sense of urgency, but this isn't a very good way to do it. I understand the animators are in a bit of a tough spot though. If they followed the manga, this season would end somewhere at the start of Stage 3 of the Sekirei Plan and that wouldn't have been a good finale; the story would have just been cut off and left hanging. Making good anime-original material for a manga-based series is not easy, especially for people like me who follow the manga. Having the MBI building blow up doesn't make any sense, but there is not too much Seven Arcs can do if they want to go back on the manga storyline next season. Hopefully the last episode of the season would turn out to be half-decent. From the feed of A Product of Wasted Time

Gah!! What the hell is going on!! Note that this rant CONTAINS SPOILERS!! Seriously, what the hell is going on! After watching that damned episode of Sekirei Pure Engagement, I honestly thought that the Anime began diverging from the Manga. A week later or sometime later - forgot how long - I stumbled about the spoiler scans of chapter 106 for the Manga. I checked through it and I was completely flabbergasted. What the hell?! Honestly, you can see the freaking blade going right through her and in that area as well!! I do hope Minato pulls out some freaking miracle or something miraculous or whatever happens that Uzume does not end up like in the Anime! I seriously wanted to see her fight more in the 'good' side for a bit more before she hits the dust - if ever. But nooo! And since when was Anime prediction of the future type of thing!? I would have thought that the Manga would have introduced her death way before the Anime did. I am sad... completely sad... Uzume is, after all, in my top 10 favorite Sekirei >.< Maybe these are false? Nah, I highly doubt it. Maybe Minato will be some weird super powers? It's been theorized and probably. Will the creators pull off a 'Deus Ex Machina' thing? I do hope so! At least keep her in a few more chapters if not the whole thing damn it! What the hell is going to happen to Chiho when she finds out anyways? Poor girl is already sick and when she's finally healed her only Sekirei is dead? Bad people, bad! Oh well, a new week, we'll see what happens to the Anime this week. And got to wait for Chapter 107 to see the aftermath of that horrendous scene posted above =(

  I’m very annoyed with you right now, ‘action’ shows. Impressions: Yawn. Everybody gets separated as per standard group cliches, fights off-screen for awhile (or against Minaka’s PSP powered cartoon traps), then he pulls the building’s self-destruction switch while all the antagonists flee. And Musubi has to fight a giant ball. I can feel the drama oozing out [...]

After last episode’s cliffhanger, I couldn’t help but realize that this episode would have an epic battle, an epic dialogue, or at the very least, an epic death.  Of course, we wouldn’t be disappointed at the surprising direction that this show’s taken from its prequel (the first season) and it’s actually impressive how they managed [...]

Minato and Sekireis head towards MBI to find a cure for Uzume, but Minaka lays down roadblocks along the way. It took Higa only two seconds to get from where Minato was to where the car is and then start the car and put on his seat belt. I guess it's only appropriate for fast cars to have fast drivers. Summary: At the hospital, Higa hands Minato the flowers which contains memory card that has the info to keep Chiho in stable condition. Higa then tries to convince Minato that everything is MBI's fault and also that only MBI has the technology to cure Chiho. Later back at the inn, Minato calls his mom for help, but Takami declines to get involved. However, Minaka somehow learns of the request and contacts Minato himself, telling Minato that he'll help Chiho and Minato can make it to the top floor of the MBI building by the end of tomorrow. Right after extending this offer, Minaka immediately plays the other side and tells all the other Ashikabis to try and stop Minato's group in exchange for a special reward. Despite the risks, Minato and his Sekireis agree to head out. Meanwhile, Higa makes his own plans and hires Seo, Hikari and Hibiki for a job. The Sekirei Plan almost ended prematurely right there. Are all of these people that good at hiding, or was is just that Minato's group isn't very good at spotting people? The next day, Minato and his Sekireis depart from the inn with encouragement from Miya. MBI has called for residents of the city to stay in their homes, so Sekireis will be free to battle. Minato and company split into two group, with Minato, Tsukiumi, Musubi and Kazehana headed towards MBI's front doors while Matsu, Homura and Kusano take the back path so Matsu can take over MBI's control room. Minato's group walk unopposed most of the way to the MBI skyscraper, but then they find themselves surrounded by several Ashikabis and their Sekireis. While Minato and his Sekireis are figuring how to get past this obstacle, Sanada  (the biker Ashikabi) and his three Sekireis arrive on the scene and starts a fight with the other Ashikabis/Sekireis. This allows Minato's group to walk into MBI building where they are quickly shut in by steel shutters. The blood must be rushing to his head given how it's spraying out. Don't tell me you didn't expect that to happen. Fire has been put on ice. Meanwhile, Kusano leads Matsu and Homura down a wooded path towards MBI's back entrance. They find the entrance but are confronted by Mikogami along with Akitsu, Mutsu, and #65 Taki. Matsu and Kusano manage to break away in the midst of the battle and Mutsu goes after them. This leaves Homura to face Akitsu and Taki, and Akitsu and Taki combine their abilities to make a freezing fog which downs Homura. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's obvious that ~Pure Engagement~ is setting up for a big season-ending battle. There wasn't anything big going on at this time in the manga, so Seven Arcs is going out of its way to set something up. Having Minato and company run a gauntlet isn't a bad idea, but it looks like the good guys might end up fighting the Disciplinary Squad once again for the finale. It's curious that the anime's scenario is somewhat similar to what's going on in the manga currently, but the timelines and many details are different. I'm wondering if Seven Arcs will make any other big irreversible changes to the story. I still believe that the anime will go back on manga material eventually, but we'll have to see if any other significant characters will bite the dust before the end of this season. As for this episode, it was mostly plot setup with a bit of fighting at the end. I wanted to see Minato's Sekireis have a skirmish against the other unnamed Sekireis and/or Sanada's group, but the standoff ended with only a off-screen fight and Minato's group getting a free pass into the MBI building. Minato got played around this episode, but that's not a surprise. Being wimpy and "pure-hearted", Minato isn't ready to handle people like Higa or Minaka, and they both played Minato for their own purposes. It was sad to see how easily Minato let Higa off the hook, but I'm sure Minato and company will come out on top somehow. I'm also intrigued that Higa hired Seo for a job. Seo is not exactly the super reliable type, but perhaps Higa meant for Seo to fail. It'll be interesting to see what they are up to. From the feed of A Product of Wasted Time

  Damn it, Minaka. Impressions: This went in something of a bizarre direction from start to finish. Higa hands over a bunch of data to Minato on Chiho’s condition as well as tells him that the MBI has the tech to save her, so he calls Mom and gets the final plot in motion by [...]

Matsu's group venture toward Chiho's hospital. Minato taking advantage of Uzume yet again. Summary: Matsu, Musubi, Tsukiumi and Kusano are on their way to Chiho's hospital when Matsu is alerted to the battle at Izumo Inn via her smartphone. Matsu thinks Minato and company should be able to handle things, and she reveals that Tsukiumi and Musubi were sent out to prevent them from getting into a serious fight with Uzume. Matsu also comments that it'd be good if Minato kept the "rescue Chiho" part of the plan secret, but she doesn't know Minato already told Uzume. Back at the inn, Minato and Uzume pretends to struggle in order to buy time for Matsu's group. Matsu's group has reached the hospital, and Tsukiumi quickly takes out two Sekireis who are on guard. With the guards gone, the rest of the group sneak into Chiho's room via the open window. Back at the inn, Minato feels his phone vibrating and picks up, and on the other side Matsu reports that they have picked up Chiho and are on their way to MBI. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The rescue Chiho operation is all going according to plan thus far... other than the fact that Minato told Uzume about the plan. I don't think things will go smoothly for whole operation though since it'd be boring if Higa doesn't put up any notable resistance. Perhaps Higa will finally play the Shiina and Yukari cards against Minato, or maybe he has so many Sekireis that he'll send a sizable group to go after Chiho (he might need a big group though with the speed that Tsukiumi is taking them out in this chapter). There has to be some drama and danger in here one way or another. The anime put a rather quick end to Uzume, so I'm hoping that the manga will offer a more substantial ending to the situation.

I'm not saying Hayami Saori is the best seiyuu-singer -- although she is for my taste. I know there are a couple of good competitors, and what kind of music and singing you like is a personal preference. But Saorin's voice is definitely the most "beautiful" voice among seiyuus.Not only is it pure and clear, it has unmatched warmth and sweetness. And she has a deep musicality -- perhaps the fruit of her ten years studying piano -- that enables her to tease the melodic beauty from the song as it is written. Her phrasing, intonation, and dynamics are so interesting and effective.The story is that when she went into the recording booth at the age of 15 to record the ED for Touka Gettan, she gave them a track they could use in one try, and when she emerged from the booth, the staff all stood and applauded. And here, now that she is 19, is the latest example of her art -- Oboeteiru kara ("I Remember"), a new ED for episode 10 of Sekirei Pure Engagement:<object height="340" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lB48wNJuZbU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lB48wNJuZbU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>The song will be on the Sekirei Sound Complete (link to purchase) album that comes out on 29 September.

Uzume takes on Musubi and Tsukiumi. Uzume needs to watch her back. Summary: Uzume challenges Musubi and Tsukiumi outside the hospital. Musubi accepts the challenge and engages Uzume in combat while Tsukiumi stands by to watch as she believes Sekirei fights should be one on one. Minato arrives, but Tsukiumi stops him from interfering. The fight ends up being a draw with both Musubi and Uzume unable to continue. Watching the fight from his car, Kakizaki decides to call in backups and Sekireis No. 16 and 18 arrive and they double-team Tsukiumi, but Homura and Kazehana arrive to swing the numbers back in favor of Minato's group. Kakizaki gives the signal to retreat, but No. 16 gets past Minato and Tsukiumi and tries to stab Musubi. Homura and Kazehana try to intervene, but it was Uzume who threw herself in the way and took the hit for Musubi. After Higa's Sekireis retreat, the dying Uzume requests that Minato help look after Chiho, and Minato agrees. Before her Sekirei crest fades away, Uzume thinks back to her times with Chiho: Oh NO!! Apparently Sekireis have magically appearing outfits. Uzume and Chiho met when Uzume was on a shopping errand for Miya. Uzume was taking a break at the top of the hospital and Chiho mistakenly thought that Uzume wanted to commit suicide. They both end up falling off the building and Uzume saved Chiho. After hanging out with each other for a while, the two finally kissed and Uzume became Chiho's Sekirei. At least there will be memories. Those keyboards won't last very long if you keep typing on them like that. The day after Uzume's deactivation, Kazehana is at the inn binge drinking, and Miya actually decides to share a cup as well. Meanwhile, Minato, Kusano, Musubi, and Tsukiumi visit Chiho at the hospital, and Musubi promises she'll become the winner of the Sekirei plan and bring Uzume back to Chiho. Later back at the inn, Minato decides that he can't just mope around and do nothing, so he goes to talk to Matsu who has the same idea. Minato wants to talk to Higa face to face about Chiho's situation (Higa owns the hospital), and to force Higa to appear Matsu launches a cyber attack against Higa's company. However during the attack, Minato gets a phone call from the hospital stating that Chiho's situation has suddenly worsened. Later at the hospital hallway, Minato runs into Higa who is on his way to deliver some flowers to Chiho. Manipulative evil bastard alert. There is a special ED sequence dedicated to Uzume and Chiho. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They killed Uzume off?! I totally didn't expect this to happen. This is a BIG deviation from the manga. *manga spoiler* It's funny that Uzume is also currently the focus of the manga, but she is still alive and well *end spoiler*. I thought Uzume would fight Musubi and Tsukiumi but not have the battle reach any sort of definite conclusion, but this puts the anime on a different track. It looks like the anime is determined to go on its own path now, since this kind of development cannot be reversed (without seriously bad effects). As for the episode itself, it was not bad, although I'm probably too focused on Uzume's unexpected departure to say much else. Quite a few minutes was about how Uzume met Chiho which was also a bit different from the manga version. The fight between Uzume and Musubi was nicely choreographed, but the actual scenes of combat wasn't that long. With this big development, it looks like we'll be getting plenty of anime-original material from ~Pure Engagement~. It'll be interesting now to see where the anime goes from now. Will it still mostly follow the manga or will it completely go off on its own? It's hard to say at this point, but there probably will be one more season to the show to put together a satisfying ending. From the feed of A Product of Wasted Time

  Man, she gets changed fast. Impressions: Very intense first half leading into Uzume’s death. It did get a bit… weird… after that, particularly the visual style of Matsu’s little attack. Of course, she got to sacrifice herself for Musubi because there’s no way that a protagonist would off her, but it works. I’m much happier with this [...]

After the interesting turn of events and the modified rules of the Sekirei Keikaku, it looks like we’re heading for a very different and perhaps amusing ending to the anime series.  The biggest difference has to be the rush of every Sekirei fighting – characters are being eliminated as soon as they are introduced, and [...]

I finally gotten around to catching up on anime, so here is the post about the three Sekirei episodes that aired while I was busy settling in at my new place. It's fun to see Karasuba stomping people once in a while. Episode 08 and 09 summary: Various group react to Minaka's announcement that Sekireis without victories will be deactivated. Later while out shopping, Minato and Musubi are approached by an Ashikabi/Sekirei pair who want Minato to help them escape from the city, but Minato turns them down because the Ashikabi made fun of Kuno and Shigi (the pair that escaped the city). When MBI forces begin to show up, the Ashikabi and his Sekirei try to escape but Karasuba catches up to them. So that's where Miya's demonic aura comes from. The next day, Minato's female Sekirei play a game to see who will accompany Minato out on a date. Kusano ends up winning and goes out with Minato. While returning home, Kusano runs off chasing a cat and ends up at the hospital where Chiho is staying, and the two have a friendly chat. Kusano goes back to Minato but she left the stuffed animal that Minato bought her beside Chiho. Meanwhile, Uzume is nearby talking with Kakizaki. Since Uzume has no official victories, Kakizaki tells Uzume to take out some of the Sekireis from the north (Minato's Sekireis). Minato is out looking for Kusano when he bumps into an Ashikabi who is abusive towards his Sekirei. Afterwards, Minato reunites with Kusano but Kusano remembers she left her stuffed animal. The two go to the hospital to look for it but can't find it, and since visiting hours are over Minato decides to return the next day. Back at Izumo Inn, Tsukiumi is tired of waiting for Minato to come back and goes out to look for him. On the way, Tsukiumi comes a fight between Shiina and the Sekirei of the abusive Ashikabi. Yukari went to the washroom so Shiina is just trying to evade the Sekirei's hammer. The Ashikabi quickly starts abusing his Sekirei just as Yukari returns, and Tsukiumi tells Yukari and Shiina to accept the battle. The abusive Ashikabi performs norito with his Sekirei, but Shiina easily takes the Sekirei out. The Ashikabi pulls out a knife, but Tsukiumi breaks the knife and Yukari beats the guy up, finishing him off with a groin stomp. After the battle, Tsukiumi leaves and soon meets up with Minato and Kusano and the three return home together. That night, Homura goes out on a night stroll and he witnesses six Sekirei battles in the process. That hammer isn't as sturdy as it looks. To bleed and fly like that after hit by a girl... this guy is a true lightweight. The next day, Tsukiumi and Musubi accompany Minato and Kusano to the hospital. The group finds Chiho and Uzume and learns that Chiho is Uzume's Ashikabi. Remembering that she has to score a victory, Uzume leads Musubi and Tsukiumi away. Minato senses something is amiss and leaves Kusano in Chiho's room. Outside the hospital, Minato spots Kakizaki and listens in on his phone conversation with Higa. Back at Izumo Inn, Matsu also realizes that Chiho is staying at the hospital and Kazehana and Homura leave the inn to provide reinforcements. In front of the hospital, Musubi and Tsukiumi are confronted by Uzume in her battle outfit.   Not exactly a surprise attack. Episode 00 description: Based on two omakes from the manga, this fan-service focused episode features Minato's Sekireis going for a physical check-up and to a MBI-owned resort. Both outings end with Benitsubasa destroying the building after being inadvertently made fun off by Minato's Sekireis, and both time Homura did not join the activities because he couldn't decide whether he was male or female. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Episode 00 was just a fan service special that doesn't have much to do with the overall plot. On the other hand, episodes 08 and 09 were pretty interesting because the story is departing from the manga once again. I don't remember reading about Minaka's deactivation rule in the manga, so most of the material following that is anime original. Since the series already had a go with the Disciplinary Squad at the beginning of the season, this anime original segment will have Uzume as the main threat to Minato's gang. With her Ashikabi is being held hostage by Higa, Uzume is in a tough and conflicted situation and I think that makes her a decent pick as the focus of these two or three episodes. There is the potential for some drama and action, although the ending to this segment probably won't be conclusive if the series wants to go back onto manga material again. I am a little surprised that Uzume would choose to fight Musubi and Tsukiumi instead of Kusano, but maybe Uzume isn't that evil or that calculating. Next episode should be decent if there is as much action as hinted by the preview. With this new anime-original material, it make me wonder how ~Pure Engagement~ will end. I am hoping they'll go with a big battle like the finale of the first season, and I don't really care if they get that from the manga or some original material.

  Stellar performance there. Impressions: Yet another transitioning episode that’s hard to say anything intelligent about because absolutely nothing happens.

Uzume and two other Sekireis attack the Izumo Inn. It's Musubi's older, scrawnier sister on the left. Summary: In front of the Izumo Inn, Uzume demands the Minato hand over the jinki. Minato starts to talk, but Kazehana alerts Minato that there are two more Sekireis behind Uzume. While Kazehana is busy with Uzume, Sekirei No. 31 tries to charge into the inn but is stopped by Homura. The remaining Sekirei, No. 40, tries to sneak in, but Kazehana blocks her way. However, this allows Uzume to get past Kazehana and into the inn's yard towards Minato. Uzume fires her ribbons and tells Minato to get out of the way, but Minato stands his ground and gets cut on the cheek. Minato then explains to Uzume that Matsu and the others are not home and they went to rescue Chiho, and this causes Uzume to start crying. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The attack has unfolded on Izumo Inn, but it's unclear how this is going to end. The two Sekireis Higa sent plus Uzume probably don't have enough firepower to take down Kazehana and Homura especially if Uzume switches sides, but I wonder if Higa has other plans in motion. Minato's side seems to be at an advantage right now, but that might not last for long. Matsu's group will likely run into resistance, and if an Ashikabi (Higa or Kakizaki) is there then they'll face Sekireis with norito while they don't have access to norito. There are lots of possibilities right now as to what happens next. From the feed of A Product of Wasted Time

It’s hard to say much on this show. Not necessarily because its bad, but well to a degree it is. However, I don’t really think its bad for the same reason many do. Sure this show is full of this kind of ridiculous set up of slapstick ecchi humor of a guy surrounded by several [...]
