Sekirei -- again

ANN says that there's going to be another Sekirei series. (Could be worse. Could be an Akikan sequel...)

I only watched about two episodes of Sekirei, and looked at maybe a hundred pages of the manga, and it never really worked for me. The fundamental "there can be only one" conceit bothered me when applied to all those gorgeous women. I don't like seeing women die.

I seriously doubt they're killed; it's not that kind of show.  With the exception of a really strange segement at the opening of the first episode that has never been explained (yet), no one has died....as such.  Defeated contestants lose their Sekirei mark, fall unconcious, and are picked up by paramilitary MIB's from MBI (heh), and never seen again.  It's portrayed as the DOOOOOM of DOOOOOM!

But a) frankly, it's a helluva lot more benign that what happens to defeated contestants in Princess Ressurection and b) there's at least one sekirei running around that lost her mark and still has her powers

As for whether it happens to someone the viewer cares about, now that would be a spoiler.  Nya?

2 I think Ubu's recollection is incomplete. Sekirei die when they're killed, and Kurasuba has number 04 (death) for a reason. She likes killing people (or sekirei). I agree that generally the 1st season is pretty benign, I finished it, thanks to Squirtle. But it rests on a very dubious foundation of Highlander-like arrangement. Pretty much like F/SN, come to think of it.

3 What's that?
 
Wanders off to re-watch ep. 7

Oh. Ah..... hey, did you really expect me to remember all the nasty from episode 7 after all the nudity in ep. 9?  I mean, really, multiple 0.8+ Rushuna's topless just shouldn't be legal.

Frustratingly, I'm missing ep. 3,4,5,6, & 8.  I thought 8 had a couple of good scenes too...
