The 2008 action-harem series Sekirei has arrived on Hulu, complete with both English dub and subtitle options. The story follows Minato Sahashi, a ronin college student whose life takes a drastic turn when he becomes the Ashikabi, or master, to several extraordinary women known as Sekirei, who possess supernatural abilities.
Produced by Seven Arcs, the studio also known for The Seven Deadly Sins: Signs of Holy War, Sekirei adapts approximately the first fifty chapters of Sakurako Gokurakuin's manga. The anime plunges Minato into a high-stakes battle royale. He must command his growing legion of Sekirei against other Ashikabi and their companions, all while managing the romantic and ecchi complications arising from his unique position.
With a MyAnimeList score of 7.02 based on over 213,000 votes, Sekirei is recognized for its blend of intense supernatural combat and significant ecchi content. The 12-episode run effectively establishes the series' core premise and introduces the initial cast of Sekirei, concluding before the events of its sequel, Sekirei: Pure Engagement.
The series' premise centers on the symbiotic relationship between Ashikabi and Sekirei, exploring themes of loyalty, power, and dependence. Viewers can expect energetic fight sequences and a narrative focused on the protagonist's journey to protect his companions in a dangerous, ongoing conflict.
