7 Seeds
The story of 7 Seeds begins with the sudden and catastrophic impact of a giant meteorite, which threatens to cause mass extinction on Earth. In preparation for this disaster, the Japanese government initiated the "7 Seeds Project." This ambitious plan involved selecting groups of young individuals and cryogenically freezing them to ensure the survival of humanity. These groups, known as "teams," are named after different seed types, such as "Spring," "Summer," "Autumn," and "Winter."
The anime follows the awakening of the Spring team, whose members find themselves in a world vastly different from the one they knew. They must learn to adapt to their new surroundings, which are filled with mutated creatures, extreme weather conditions, and other threats. Additionally, each team must face unique challenges based on their designated roles and environments.
The central characters, Natsu Iwashimizu and Arashi Aota emerge as leaders within the Spring team, and the story primarily focuses on their struggles and those of their fellow survivors as they attempt to navigate this post-apocalyptic landscape. The series alternates between the present-day challenges faced by the characters and flashbacks that provide insight into their lives before the cataclysmic event.
As the story unfolds, viewers learn more about the world, its mysteries, and the secrets behind the 7 Seeds Project. The characters must confront not only external threats but also their own inner demons and traumas, making for a character-driven narrative filled with personal growth and development.
