Sekirei has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available. 2 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 104 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Watch it for Kana Hanazawa — stay for everyone else around them. Start it whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Sekirei is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Sekirei does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Struggling yet brilliant, 19-year-old Minato Sahashi has failed his college entrance exams for the second time, resulting in him being regarded as worthless by those around him. However, the course of his seemingly bleak future is altered dramatically when a beautiful, supernatural woman falls from the sky and into his life. That woman, Musubi, is a "Sekirei," an extraterrestrial with extraordinary abilities. The chemistry Kana Hanazawa and Katsuyuki Konishi bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Across 2 seasons (2008–2010), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The timing in Sekirei is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Sekirei is a strong candidate. Viewers who responded to Maken-Ki! Battling Venus will find a lot to like here too. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Kana Hanazawa sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Sekirei wrapped up in 2010 — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
