7Seeds (2019)
A complete waste of potential
The manga is award-winning for its art and atmosphere, and none of that is carried over to this adaptation. Pacing is an issue too, both in the structure of the episodes and the way the dialogue has been adapted. It's unnatural, almost parody. There's even clear production mistakes like characters moving their mouths but not making a sound. A panning shot of their first sight of the cat island goes so fast it looks like amateurish editing.
It ruins its own premise by showing the opening in the first episode. No longer is what happened to cause this situation a mystery: The opening clearly shows meteors hitting Earth. No longer is it a mystery whether other people even exist in this new world: Every relevant character for this first part is shown one after the other, many with spoilers for their arcs in sequence.
Altogether the team behind this adaptation should not have been trusted with source material of this level.
