As was predicted by many, the ending sucked balls. But I was ready to it because it was certain from the beginning that Yuri wasn't getting any action, and also because the number of useable screenshots per episode was crashing ever since the swimsuit episode. The best screen from the …

This mini-arc is essentially dedicated to capturing Squirtle (#09 Tsukiumi), in my mind anyway. Sure, Minato also takes #02 Matsu, or actually vice versa... But while Matsu may have the meganekko fetish on her side, Tsukiumi's antics made me laugh uproarously. She's such a tsundere, and the lofty pretentions...

Seen at Steven's:
UPDATE: Oh noes! Some of the Sekirei are bishounen. Ick!
Well, yes, of course. In both Chobits and F/SN pasocons and Servants were mixed. And why not? I'm the biggest prude among animebloggers and I have no problem with it.
Seeing Yukari nosebleed was hilarious nonetheless …

The analogy between sekirei and pasocons is rather shaky, beacause so far I have seen no competition against humans in sekirei, and for pasocons almost the whole anime turns upon such. Heck, sekirei are mostly human. Unless we look at Yumi and the trauma her end dealt to Ueda (versus …

Would someone be so kind to write "Sekirei vs Pokemon" and "Sekirei vs Angelic Layer"? I don't know much about these series. Blog or e-mail are good. Thanks in advance.
Steven says that it's more like DearS.
read moreSekirei vs F/SN
With small exceptions (e.g. most or all Masters only have one Servant), analogy between Sekirei and Servants is complete. The relationship with their masters is temporary in both cases, and they form deep bonds that must be broken (or maybe not! the temptation of the evil trade!). Both protagonists …

This expression is a step up in the difficulty from the one in Stellvia. In ep.06 of Sekirei, at 13:50, Tsukiumi says something that sounds, very approximately: "go ni itte wa, go ni ishitebai to moishteno..." (I'm not even going to bother with the hiragana, so imprecise it …

Looks like Sketchbook ~ginormous eyes~ to me. Bet TheBigN will love it.UPDATE: TheBigN e-mails:
The trailer was actually a bit more subdued than I thought it would be. From my experience with the manga, if the anime is a direct adaptation, things should be a lot more …

The biggest problem for Sekirei is that the manga is still ongoing. Here's what Aroduc had to say:

<zaitcev> In ep.01, who the heck was the baby? Little Musubi?

I’m still kind of disappointed that the show never really took off among English fandom - it’s a pretty sound example of a Sunrise show which didn’t spectacularly trainwreck itself towards the end. It did have a lot stacked up against it, though - there was the whole …
