Seikon no Qwaser

What would you do if you had the power to control an element, and power it up through breast milk?
I'd be scared of babies.

Anyhow, Seikon no Qwaser is... a unique concept. I first did not want to watch it due to the overwhelming amount of boobs. Really. Then I heard that it had a second season. I gave it a second try and found it amusing.
Since the plot summary is already written in the anime info, I won't bother including a long one.

Alexander BlahBlahvich, aka Sasha comes to this school to find this relic. He clashes at first with two female students, Mafuyu and Tomo whatevertheirnamesare. Turns out they're special. And now Sasha has to protect em by sucking girls' breast milk, or 'Soma' to empower his control of iron. Other Qwasers, like him, control a metal element (and I whip up my periodic table), well whatever, you'll just understand if you are good in chemistry. An example would be Katja-sama and her wonderful copper. There's a catch though. They all want that relic as well.
The story is normal. And what do I mean by normal? I mean that there is a main character and his mascots searching for something, and bad guys want it too. That's all there is to it, really. Just prepare yourselves for some plot twists and awesome wtf moments where Sasha just beats the shit out of stuff after sucking on breasts. Isn't it just normal?

The characters of this anime are your unoriginal harem characters. Tsundere Mafuyu, airhead Tomo, quietly obedient Teresa. And then comes Sasha (Alexander). How cute, a tsundere shotacon. Not much creativity in the character department, and as always, the female tsundere will have feelings for the male protagonist. Other characters make the show more fun to it. Who could ignore lovely Miyuri? And you should definitely bow down to Katja if you like BDSM. I'll shut up now. Did I mention that Sasha has a horrible past? Hence his name Sasha the Martyr. Maybe.
It's nice to see Sasha's development throughout the anime. I mean, he turns /nice/. And Mafuyu? A bit more honest than before. Otherwise, there is nothing else to include. Maybe the fact that Tomo can cook a bit at the end of the anime.

The background music was boring. I could remember the only 5 tracks it has (I'm guessing here). Once you hear one, you can tell what's going to come next. There's one for breastfeeding time, two battle themes, bah. It's fitting but not good enough.
Voice acting is good. If you watch it, you can tell. Problem is the Russian they put in and the way Mafuyu pronounces Alexander. Damn she makes it sound painful. I was glad when she started calling him Sasha. Another flaw with VA however, is the moaning noises. Please, make it stooooop. Does sucking breasts really create such ecstasy that you cannot keep your mouth shut? Well maybe it's different when the Qwasers do it. I wouldn't know.
OP and ED were fitting. Had a slight, how do you call it, 'church' feel to it. The first ending was so eargasmic. All those lovely voice actresses singing one song. /applause. Nothing special after the first ED. Beats the rest.

Art? What art? These things are just women with large blobs attached to their chest. I'm referring to the majority of the characters, of course.
Okay, fine, the art is good. Only parts when you can wince is when there are naked breasts. An overload of them. When I see Tomo, it's like a walking pair of fleshy blobs. And then I see nothing else.
Huh? Of course I watched the uncensored version. I didn't understand it when it was censored. So watch the uncensored one; makes more sense.

Pfuuuu, enjoyment. I enjoyed this anime. This actually made me feel like chemistry lessons were useful. I also liked the characters, especially Sasha and that tomboy with titanium powers.

Final verdict? Watch it if you want to. 24 episodes of boobs is a lot, and I watched them in 3 days. or something.
Short version:
Art was good, story was okay, sound was bleh, except for voice acting, character was bleh. Overall: GOOD.

Off to watch the second season.

Hey this is my first review.I'll try to be forthcoming as humanly possible with this show.Thirdly this review is premature with only 2 episodes in which have aired.

Story- Essentially we have a silver haired character named Alexander who needs a certain form of sustenance in order to gain the energy needed for his metaphysical unravelling of the iron atom.Now what would that be, wait for it breast milk....Well isn't that the most enthralling and original concept to have surfaced in an anime.There is the local grocery store in which you can buy milk....or you can suck on a taciturn girl with gargantuan tits.Now to move on. Alexander can morph iron at a mollecular level but he needs the milk. He finds himself at an Eastern Orthodox School on the fringes of being in conflict with a secret society.. This has been done before even though there might be an accumulative amount of symbolism(hence the scar).Where is Robert Langdon when you need him......?

Art-Not exactly captivating or filled with guile. Even though the outlines around the girls and the luminous colours do accentuate a darker background.We also have the shounen art doctrine....chunky blocks that are suppose to suffice as hair.

Sound-The song is placating to an extent in trying to precipitate a contrite vibe in making you feel sorry for the characters past.For the most part the sound acclimates to its surroundings. With a dosage of fighting music and jaded features of techno alongside it.

Character-You have an arcane male lead who has a horrendous past in Alexander. The first female lead is the typical bombastic and or wind bag namely Oribe and then of course the reticent cohort Yamanobe who's been anointed as Alexanders personal dairy farm.Last but not least we have the dull minor villians and the minor characters who might play dress up at a gothic convention. Not everyone in Eastern Europe dresses like a surceased vitamin D drained goth.

Enjoyment-Nonplussed for the most part. There's nothing to be ebullient or happy about in watching this.

Overall- Devoid of intellect, stifling the romanticism of Eastern europe with its gaudy fashion and vacuous concepts and characters.

My review is based on what i grabbed watching 3/4 of episode 1. I couldn't bear continuing nor finishing episode 1.

To start of, i watched this series knowing what to expect. I'm just curios and disbelieved with the plot summary and wanted to know just how much of it is true, and how bad can an anime be.

Coming back to this anime, i graded this anime as 1/10 because it is that bad. For those looking for non-ecchi anime, this is NOT for you.For those looking for ecchi anime this is also NOT for you. So who is the intended audience then?

1. People who wants to know how bad it is.
2. People wanted to see girls stripped of their dignity and getting molested by a gray-haired young man who finds nothing wrong doing it because it gives him power.

I've never been a fan of ecchi anime, but at least i watched enough random 1-2 episodes or to-love-ru and other ecchi animes to be able to know what they are. This is totally different, this anime is more like hentai, it put female dignity to other nothingness and let a gray-haired man (signifies old man?) sucks their oversized boobs on national television. Even porn or hentai puts female of higher standards, they still see her as a female. This anime doesn't.

Being a 2010 anime, this anime is decently well animated with less than decent sound. So why 4 and 6 for those category? The art is decent at best, but nothing stands out, nothing original. Ironically, what pulls down the art in this anime, are the tits of the girls of this series. To me, F-sized cup girls is more disgusting than beautiful. Too much of anything is never good. For the sound department, the only reason of why i gave it a 6 is , 5 because of the casts of the seiyuus and 1 for the script/music. I do not get how on earth, they get this seiyuus to dub this anime. Its like asking heath ledger to play 40 years old virgin.

Enjoyment, as mentioned above, I'm more disgusted than not watching this so enjoyment is 1/10 without a doubt. I've watched mars of destruction and i know how bad it is. This anime, its just as bad or worst. The plot is horrendous but the idea of looking at girls pried being put down to the level that is of a cow just doesn't feel like for a man in the right mind like me. You know those commercials that drinking milk is good for your health, its like watching those but instead of drinking the milk from proper packages, you suck it directly from the cow.

This series is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad, unless its intentional like mars of destruction is, the director has got to be an idiot. My only hope for this anime is that it doesn't destroy hirano aya's carrier. I really liked her but if her carrier is ruined because of this i'll be pissed as hell. read more

I couldn’t enjoy the flow of the show, because it was so thoroughly distracting. The show couldn’t make you keep a straight face, because every time you were serious for a battle, you just had to see some twit suckling a nipple. Everything that the producers and writers and developers of the last 30 years have tried to hide, was totally shit on. All the stupid coincidences of leaves blocking certain areas or objects closer to the screen that block a body – even the steam aspect of those ecchi genres made them what they were: ecchi! Quite honestly, that’s the way it was supposed to stay. If you wanted anything more, you could’ve gone to watch some porn somewhere! But this anime was completely outrageous.

Story:
The story was unique, but so poorly played out and depicted, that it brings it all down to mediocre. The unique part being breast milk as a catalyst for power. True, not every show should follow in the EXACT footsteps of the last, but they could have at least stuck to the traditional way of dealing with ecchi shows. I AM a guy, but that doesn’t mean I was looking for porn when watching anime. The whole loli goth thing was attractive enough of an idea, but it was misconstrued with the clash of so many unneeded characters. The whole story can all be summed up in two words: FAN SERVICE.

Art:
The art was good. It is by no means a great animated show, but it isn’t horrible. It’s essentially average animation for an anime. Everything was well enough depicted, and the nudity was ON PAR with most hentai. Anime should rarely be on par with hentai, which is why this is such a huge issue. There are more nipple shots in this show then there are black men in Lisa Lampanelli at any given moment.

Sounds:
Now admittedly, the soundtrack wasn’t bad. The opening wasn’t bad. The ending was ok. That’s about all there was. The rest of the soundtrack was forgettable.

Characters:
This was probably the worst category of them all. You cant get passed the characters self reflections who ask themselves moral questions, only to realize that it didn’t really matter, because it goes right back to the norm (nipple sucking) the next episode. More than that, the dumb bimbo with huge tits isnt even needed, because there is really no point to having her. True, she does play a big role at the end, but the point is that she didn’t HAVE to be dumb as shit. She could’ve been a regular girl. Even a smart girl. And it wouldn’t have mattered. And that’s what urks me. I think that every character should be placed and have a personality/attitude that’s relevant to the entire story. IF the story has a character who could easily be the exact opposite (personality/looks wise) and the story would still work perfectly, then it’s a wasted character, and its value/existence in the show is useless. Another character that pisses me off is the main character himself: Alexander (or Sasha for short for some reason…). Though the majority of his pictures make him look like a hard badass, how he’s played throughout the show is disgusting.
The spoiler runs till the next topic, btw.

*SPOILER*
I know I shouldn’t add a spoiler, but the one part that almost made me drop the series was when he lost his memory and thought he was a girl. I’m not bothered by a cross dressing anime character, but Sasha, being the badass that he is supposed to be, started to turn into a cross dressing feminine b*tch who just made me want to leave the series alone and never even look at the name of the show again.

Enjoyment:
I couldn’t enjoy it. There were so many babes with huge boobs that I couldn’t really pay attention to the story. The only possible enjoyment I got from watching this was the fan service. And that’s what the entire story is. Fan service. Nothing more, nothing less. Actually, a little more. I don’t consider nipple sucking fan service, I consider it hentai. So yeah.

Overall:
Overall, the story could’ve been a lot better. It should’ve played out in a more conservative manner, and it would’ve been better received, and probably could’ve been better sponsored for a second season. But, because of the flashy nature of the show, it was a load of dog shit. The story eventually lost out to the fan service, and by the end, you weren’t looking forward to the next mystery. You were looking forward to the next fight, and by that, I mean you were looking forward to the next time you saw someone suck a boob.
