Sekirei: Complete Series (Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

You've seen a million shows where heroes go toe-to-toe, now feast your eyes on the only anime where hot girls with super powers settle their differences chest-to-chest! Minato had no luck with the ladies until the day a well-rounded warrior babe named Musubi fell into his life and crushed his face with her ginormous cleavage. Hunted by a stunning pair of twin sisters, Musubi was searching for the right guy to give her a squeeze and unlock the hidden powers lurking beneath her ample assets. Minato fit the bill, and now he's caught in the middle of a supernatural slugfest where voluptuous vixens take turns beating each others' clothes off! Only one of these bodacious brawlers will come out on top, but the unbridled excitement of watching them go at it makes this utterly-fulfilling series the breast action-harem anime of all time! Sekirei (2008) combines two popular anime genres: the harem comedy and the fan service fantasy-adventure. Mild-mannered, goodhearted Minato Sahashi is smart enough to have been at the top of his high school class, but so nervous he's failed the university entrance exam--twice. One day, a pretty girl falls out of the sky onto his head, cleavage first. Musabi explains she's a "Sekirei," a mysterious being endowed with phenomenal powers (not least of which is keeping a pneumatic figure inside a scanty costume). To realize their full powers, Sekirei must form a special bond with a human "Ashikabi." More Sekirei appear, and soon six of them are bonded to Minato. They all live together in the Maison Izumo boarding house, and squabble endlessly over who's his favorite. The Sekirei have to fight each other in a deadly game orchestrated by the evil president of the all-powerful MBI Corporation, but Minato doesn't want anyone to get hurt and is fiercely protective of his friends. Season one ends on an inconclusive cliffhanger, and the trifling plot stumbles along in Pure Engagement (2010). From time to time, the filmmakers try to introduce a poignant emotional point or a life-threatening battle, but the endless cleavage shots undercut any serious storytelling. Both seasons of Sekirei play like Love, Hina restaged by Victoria's Secret. The endless jiggle shots and bodice-ripping fights exist only to excite hormonal adolescent boys. Included among the extras are the OVAs Kusano's First Shopping Trip and Two Gossip Topics, which feature even more nudity and boob jokes.
