Review of 7Seeds

7Seeds (2019–2020)
7/10
Just a summary of the original.
18 January 2020
I'm a HUGE fan of the original manga, so I was excited to hear that Netflix was turning it into anime.

BUT...

1st episode was a TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT.

I almost stopped watching in the middle but my husband who does not know the original was watching with me so I finished it.

1. They just revealed the whole story in the opening!!! WHY WOULD THEY???????

2. They just skipped through so many details. IT CONFUSED my husband who doesn't know the story.

3. They changed the looks of characters so much. I guess to an extent this can't be helped but... disappointment to a big fan of the original artwork.

But for some odd reason that I don't understand, I kept watching, and it started to grow on me.

Not sure if the story made any sense to people who haven't read the manga, but if you just see it as a "summary of" or "introduction to" the original, this serves the purpose just fine (?).

At least they didn't change the story; they just summarized it.
