This exciting package also comes with five exclusive art cards, making it a must-buy for hard-core fans of this quirky, otherworldly anime classic.
A masterpiece created by the brilliant minds behind “Serial Experiments Lain,” this iconic anime series is about to grace our screens once again, reminding us why it has found and maintained a comfortable place in the anime community for many years.
For this new generation of anime fans that have no idea how good this wild, slice-of-life adventure series was, let me remind you. The anime follows Mayuko and Niea, who live life in a bizarre town where aliens and humans coexist. With its nostalgic blend of comedy, drama, and a pinch of the supernatural, NieA_7 is back to remind us why we fell in love with this timeless piece.
What’s the Hype About NieA_7
NieA_7 is a cult classic anime series that has been praised for its first-time blend of humor, supernatural, and social commentary. The show follows the story of Mayuko, a young girl who lives with a strange low-grade alien named NieA. Together, they explore the city of retro Tokyo and learn about each other’s backgrounds.
NieA_7 was way ahead of its time. The willingness to tackle difficult topics wasn’t done very often in the 2000s, and NieA under Seven did exactly that. The show explores themes of poverty, homelessness, discrimination, and what it was like to live in the city and live in the countryside. It makes us think about the cruel nature of humans and the meaning of life.
NieA_7’s slice-of-life storytelling with a touch of science fiction adds color to the dull and grey moments of Mayuko and NieA’s life. One moment you find yourself laughing, and the next moment, you’re in deep thought about all the wrongs in the world.
The Premise of NieA_7
Mayuko Chigasaki is a college student who is just trying to make ends meet. She has to deal with the challenges of living in a big city, studying for exams, and barely scraping by financially. Relatable much? But things get weird when she finds a “gluttonous, freeloading alien who builds UFOs out of junk,” as her roommate.
However, NieA_7 is not all gloomy. The show also has a lot of heartfelt moments and comedic devices. This story is more of a ‘dramedy,’ it will make you laugh, cry, and think.
“A diamond in the rough.” That’s how a fan described this anime. You might think that the author’s decision to add intergalactic elements to the story was unnecessary. Imagine watching a show where humans go through the daily struggles of life, searching high and low for a way to maintain financial stability; it sounds very dim, right?
The addition of NieA and aliens ensure this series isn’t too dull and sad. It gives the anime a lighter feel and simultaneously talks of deeper social issues. The basic message of NieA under Seven is to live life one day at a time. Don’t spend too much time on small worries instead of constantly worrying about everything at once. It’s relaxing but real and is undoubtedly a good watch.
