Both seasons were licensed in North America by Funimation, until their license expired in 2017. The central character of the series is Minato Sahashi, a ronin who failed college examinations twice. His life changes, however, when he meets several girls with special powers called "Sekirei", and is dragged into a battle to decide the fate of the world.

Plot:

In Tokyo, known as Shinto Teito (新東帝都, Shintō Teito, "New Eastern Imperial Capital"), in 2020, 19-year-old Minato Sahashi is extremely intelligent, yet due to his major lack of self-confidence has failed the college entrance exam twice.

One day, Minato meets a girl named Musubi, who literally falls out of the sky on top of him. Minato soon learns that she is a "Sekirei", and she chooses him as her "Ashikabi", one of the mysterious set of humans that have the genetic trait and can make a contract by kissing the Sekirei; this binds the Sekirei to the Ashikabi and allows them to use their full power in elimination battles with other Sekirei. Made up of 108 cute girls, attractive buxom women and bishōnen, the Sekirei fight in a competition known as the "Sekirei Plan" organized by Hiroto Minaka, the chairman and founder of the mysterious and powerful MBI Corporation.

Minato quickly learns that being the partner of a Sekirei is not all fun and games, especially when five other Sekirei choose him as their Ashikabi, each also forming a contract with him. Now, Minato must find a way to survive both the life-threatening battles of the Sekirei Plan and his partners' fierce competition for him.

Review:

   Ooooo boy, this anime gives you so much mix feelings that make you wanna scream.

It typical fighting anime, in my personal option, it is one of the best fighting anime I have ever watched.

Sure the anime is ecchi as fuck, but, it makes up for it with characters abilities and the fights.

Some of fights, will make you hold your breath for while.

Sadly, the anime got only 2 seasons, I believe there was going to be season 3 but I guess the anime is extremely underrated, not lot of my friends know about this anime until I talk about it.

I've been trying to get others to watch this awesome anime. But, some hated the fact that it is Ecchi, others hate it because it Harem anime( It is but it fucking worth watching)

So yeah, when I decided to make anime recommendations & reviews book, I will add Sekirei to it, so other new anime watchers or old anime watchers can watch this series.

Though, doubt anyone takes my book seriously,  because I do rush quite lot when I do reviews. But, again, I hope other watch this series. Give it some love.
