Synopsis



Alma Tandoji lives a lonely life. One day, Ruri Alba, a girl accompanied by her butler and maids, visits him. Knowing the power of Sacred Seven is latent within Alma, she asks him to lend her his powers. However, he refuses and drives her away since he injured many with his unusual strength in the past.

Meanwhile, a fiendish Dark Stone creature suddenly appears in this peaceful town in the Kanto region. Only Alma's power of Sacred Seven can fight against it. But Alma just lets his power run amuck and things begin to get worse. Ruri raised her gemstone in order to release his true abilities, My Soul I give to you.

With Ruri's wishes engraved in it, will Alma be able to defeat the Dark Stone?

Episode 1

The first episode of the series wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great either. What caught my attention the most about this series is that the character designs are very reminiscent to those in Code Geass; in fact, the male lead has a strong resemblance to Lelouch from Code Geass.

One thing about this episode that made me laugh because I found it quite hilarious is that the female lead commands an army of maids. :D

I’m going to trust Sunrise (since I’m enjoying watching Tiger and Bunny very much) and watch the second episode. I hope the series gets better with the next ep. Although I’m not sold on this series yet, I am sold on both the OP and the ED songs. Cool songs filled with a lot of energy. :thumbs

[naruto-niichan]

I completely agree Des-chan! The first episode was average so it could turn out either way but I'm going to give it a try, especially because I don't have high expectations of this anime (and those anime's often turn out to be better as you would expect).

The maids were hilarious but I wondered why everyone listened to some girls in a maid outfit. Maybe they are some accepted kind of police? :XD

[raptor02_2001]

i don't mind ..please arrest me or i will resist for it ( i love maids ) beat or fed me ? or both?? i i don't mind ...

anyway it is interesting but i know Sunrise is famous of my several favorite anime ... but some of post said similar Leluochs and i want to point that mecha similar from Britiana Mecha .. similar color , and mecha design but one thing is eject pod

I like first tranforms's bad ass or called Darkstone ... but second tranforms is all right

[destiny4ever]

I completely agree Des-chan!
Glad to see you posting in this thread, naruto-niikun. :)



I don't have high expectations of this anime (and those anime's often turn out to be better as you would expect).
QFT. I was able to watch Infinite Stratos, so I know that as long as it’s enjoyable I will be able to watch this anime as well. ^^



The maids were hilarious but I wondered why everyone listened to some girls in a maid outfit. Maybe they are some accepted kind of police? :XD
Maybe…or maybe people are more inclined to listen to cute maids than serious policemen. ;)

For cool :cool: :

Uh...maids and butlers...stop overusing them Japan. I'm going to watch this just for Arma's motocompo.

For kind of funny :D...I guess:


Oh, Sunrise…I love you. Maybe I’m going to keep watching Sacred Seven, in hope it’ll get any better (who am I kidding?).

It is interesting that you would mention that, raptor02_2001. Many fans (mostly boys) have mentioned how they thought Alma’s first transformation was awesome but the second one was ….just okay. As for me, I actually like the second transformation (the one it happened when Ruri gave Alma her blue heart) better than the first one.

[raptor02_2001]

so fans have different taste about Transformation ... it will be 13 3 esp or standard esp ?


Maybe…or maybe people are more inclined to listen to cute maids than serious policemen.


that is my thought ... i am admit .. i am addicted on Maid... ... This story will became dark and twist plot .... I hope it will more twist plot ..

[destiny4ever]

so fans have different taste about Transformation
The guys agree with your opinion, but I do wonder if the girls would agree with me or with you guys. ^^



... it will be 13 3 esp or standard esp ?
I don’t know for sure, but according to MAL it will be a 12-episode anime.


Btw, here are the full versions and PVs of both the OP and the ED :):

[Charlie]

The first two episodes look promising. I'm liking the series so far.

Is this an original work or one based of manga?

Anyways, for the time being, it seems like the one in the black armor is the baddy.

The current episode show Tandouji - lost his blue crysta darkstonel.

I noticed that that when he transforms with the dark stone, only one of is eyes glows. So could it mean that he is only using half his power?

[phio_chan]

Did someone mentioned Lelouch here just now? :3

Anyway, what brought me here is actually the title. Sounds promising. After reading through the first post and some replies to this, I decided to give this series a try. Well, the summary is not that much interesting, though, in my opinion, but:


The first episode was average so it could turn out either way but I'm going to give it a try, especially because I don't have high expectations of this anime (and those anime's often turn out to be better as you would expect).

that sentence is very true to me lately. So I thought I may as well gamble on it. XD

Still on download process so I'll post my opinions of the series later. :)

Glad to see you posting in this thread, Charlie! :) And while I won’t call this series great yet, I do admit that the first two episodes have been pretty enjoyable. We had less action and more plot during this second episode which I thought was very nice since it allowed us to learn more about our protagonists and about the sacred seven power.



Is this an original work or one based of manga?
It is a Sunrise original.



Anyways, for the time being, it seems like the one in the black armor is the baddy.
Yes, he is and I can’t wait to know more about him.



The current episode show Tandouji - lost his blue crysta darkstonel.
Which is why he spends so much looking for rocks in nearby streams.



I noticed that that when he transforms with the dark stone, only one of is eyes glows. So could it mean that he is only using half his power?
Good observation! :cool: Maybe to awaken his full power he needs to transform using his own stone...

During the first episode I found the maid army very funny, during the second episode this is what I found hilarious http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Happy/happy-061.gif



Maybe Sacred Seven Stones cause your children to suffer growth deficiencies. Alma is unnaturally big and tall, and it's not a matter of character design either since Hellbrick said it himself. Ruri's pretty small. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Happy/happy-061.gif

What Nightengale said is so funny but so true at the same time. :D And maybe he is on to something.

[phio_chan]

I've just seen that spoiler of Suzaku + Lelouch = Alma. Noooooo~ >___<
It is true that he inherits their eyes, though. I really love that part of him. But that makes me miss Code Geass even more. *sigh*

Anyway...


Glad to see you joining this thread, phio_chan! :) I’m looking forward to your comments about the eps.

Thank you, destiny. Although I think I wouldn't be able to keep going with this series any further. After watching the first two episodes, well, it didn't give me enough mysteries which would make me curious to see more, I think. I was surprised to see that Kagami ride a mecha back then; I almost thought that this would look like Code Geass version 2. XD But besides those, I think there isn't many things which made me want to keep watching or to know more. I'm not comparing this to Code Geass, no. Sometimes I even think of this like Power Ranger or something; maybe that's also the thing that drives me off. I just can't bring myself to continue watching this, sorry. ^^"

[naruto-niichan]

As for me, I actually like the second transformation (the one it happened when Ruri gave Alma her blue heart) better than the first one.

well the first transformation was more GAR, the second one was more "Megaman" like. I liked the first one more because it was more special and less generic, girls might like the second version more because they... can see his "pretty" face :sweatdrop or because he looks more like a shining knight and not like some kind of monster.

The second episode was more enjoyable than the first, I liked that we got some more information. I get phio-chins point, the story seems very generic so far but nevertheless I enjoyed the two eps and I'm willing to watch a few more until I judge the series. It's sad to see that you're dropping it phio :/

It is okay, phio_chan. Sorry to hear that this series didn’t engage you enough to continue watching it. :( Judging by the reasons you mentioned as to why you won’t keep watching SS, maybe you should give Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKJy7KV2DSw&feature=related) a try. ;)

I think your analysis was spot-on, narutonii-kun. http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m163.gif (http://www.laymark.com)And I’m guilty as charged of the reasons you mentioned for liking the second transformation. http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m013.gif (http://www.laymark.com)



nevertheless I enjoyed the two eps and I'm willing to watch a few more until I judge the series.
I’m glad to hear you say that. :)

[raptor02_2001]

second esp remind about Eureka Seven more than Code Geass .. because similar Eureka jump on airship and join Renton ... Eureka =Ruri and Renton = Alma ...

anyway i wonder Ruri have so many maids ? Damn i see lot of maid .. and Butler is funny after force bag on Alma in Airplane ...

[destiny4ever]

Episode 3

We were introduced to the rest of the characters that appear in the OP during this episode. Out of all of those characters the one that caught my attention the most was Kijima Night. Yes, all the arrows are pointing to him as the bad guy but I think there is more to him than just using his powers to cause destruction. In fact, I think the real bad guy is Kenmi Yuuji, yes he appeared as a benevolent researcher but I have a feeling he was experimenting on kids that had the SS power and treating them as laboratory rats, and that is probably why Night and Fei want to destroy him (and consequently his organization as well).

I won’t say Sacred Seven is a fantastic series yet, but it has been pretty enjoyable so I’m definitely looking forward to episode 4.

[Charlie]

Episode 3 was nice.

It did remind me of Code Geass, when the dark wing guy (forgets name) showed his face.

You may be right but I would find it kind of lame if Kenmi and his organization turn out to be the bad guys :/ he could be some maniac professor (or it seems very likely, the kids must have a reason for hating him) but please don't let him be the evil mastermind at the end because it would be way too generic. Still I can't imagine Kijima being the final villain so there has to be another evil guy.

And just one a side note, I like the little Darkstone "Hellbrick". He's kind of funny and I love it when someone has a special japanese idiom :XD

One thing I don't get is why Kijima created/activated the Darkstones in the first two episodes and I'm curious how he will turn out at the end.

Third episode was interesting, I agree with you Des-chan! It's nothing extraordinary but quite enjoyable :)

[destiny4ever]

Kijima Night (http://eemia.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/s7_03_45.png?w=500&h=281 ) bears a strong resemblance to Lelouch, and he seems as complex and mysterious as Lulu, so it is not surprise that he is my fav SS boy atm. :luv

Mmmm...what if Kenmi is just a pawn in the hands of an evil mastermind that hasn’t been revealed yet?

As for me, I haven't changed my mind about Kenmi, I have a strong hunch that Kenmi is part of the bad guys of the story.



Still I can't imagine Kijima being the final villain so there has to be another evil guy.
I don’t think he is the (main) villain of the story either. As I mentioned it before, I have a feeling he will be a character similar to Lelouch in Code Geass.



One thing I don't get is why Kijima created/activated the Darkstones in the first two episodes
Because he wanted to use those darkstones to destroy Kenmi and his organization? Now that you have mentioned it, I’m curious about that as well, narutonii-kun. http://www.laymark.com/i/o/46.gif (http://www.laymark.com)

Is he your new Natsuno Yuuki? :p

I could imagine something like that, but I hope he will stay as a good guy. Don't ask me why but for some reason I like his character and wouldn't want him to turn out as a (completely) bad guy.


I don’t think he is the (main) villain of the story either. As I mentioned it before, I have a feeling he will be a character similar to Lelouch in Code Geass.

Didn't watch Code Geass but Lelouch is quite famous. Wasn't he the kind of "doing bad things to achieve something good" guy? At least that's what I thought, correct me if I'm wrong :s

then he could have sent the Darkstones there and not to some unrelated village or? So far he seems like a guy who would do anything to get what he wants but I have to agree that Kijima is a fairly interesting character.

[Charlie]

New episode 4 raw is out.

Cant say I was impressed by the raw episode. It was the kind of "traditional beach" episode filler. Instead of a beach throw away episode that we normal get in shonen animes, it was focused on the school. Nothing important happened. Max disappointment for me.

[destiny4ever]

Is he your new Natsuno Yuuki? :p
Natsuno Yuuki is irreplaceable. http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m024.gif (http://www.laymark.com) But you have gotten to know my tastes regarding anime boys quite well, narutonii-kun. http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m013.gif (http://www.laymark.com) ;)

While it is a very simple description of Lelouch’s character, I guess he can be described like that. So you are right about Lulu, narutonii-kun.

I don’t think Night is a saint, but I don’t think he is an evil person either. There must be a strong reason as to why he used those darkstones in such a way.

I tried to watch episode 4, but the subs were…were…right down horrible. The subs were confusing and didn’t make sense most of the time so I didn’t watch the whole ep. I’m going to wait to see if someone uploads the ep with better subs, otherwise I'll just read a fan recap of the episode to know what happened.

---------- Post added July 25, 2011 at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was July 24, 2011 at 10:19 PM ----------

I finally got the chance to watch episode 4 with proper subs. While this episode wasn’t action-packed, it was fun to watch and we learned a few details about the characters.

- Kagami likes Ruri, maybe it is more than liking her; I think he loves her.

- Ruri likes Alma. I mean she blushed quite a bit at the thought of Alma confessing to her. In fact, she seemed looking forward to his confession.

- Alma is totally oblivious to Ruri’s feelings.

- Kagami has his own fan club; I’m referring to the other two girls from the rock club who kept following Kagami during this episode.

- Onigawara was pretty funny during this episode :D, and I especially liked the part when he was teaching Alma how to get Ruri to transform him into his SS mode. http://planetsmilies.net/kaos-animal-bunny-smiley-6086.gif (http://planetsmilies.net)

- Alma is an awesome guy.:love He helped those classmates of his even though they were horrible to him just moments before the accident (when the darkstone turned the pillars into stone).

- Kagami mentioning being a hero and acting like one after he and Alma destroyed the last darkstone reminded me of Tiger & Bunny.:XD

- It happened right at the very end but it was my favorite part of the ep, I’m referring to the scene when Ruri realized what type of drink she had been drinking, and drinking a lot of. I’m not quite sure what type of drink it was but…it seems it was an aphrodisiac beverage.http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m163.gif (http://www.laymark.com)

well we have watched and discussed quite some series "together" now, so I know quite a bit about your taste and other stuff :ninja ;)

Thanks for the info, maybe I should watch Code Geass when I find the time?


I don’t think Night is a saint, but I don’t think he is an evil person either. There must be a strong reason as to why he used those darkstones in such a way.

Not sure about that. Again this episode's darkstones were kind of random. Why would Kijima send two of his little "pets" to the school? There wasn't a single clue why they were send there and they did absolutely nothing, even the bomb was just firework at the end. Tbh I was quite dissapointed about that, apart from that I agree with your comments about the ep! :)

Watched that too and dropped it after a few minutes. You mean the gfg release or? They just used the korean ep version and translated it with google, that's why there were a lot of korean words in the sub. At least that's what I heard.

Completely agree here, I love this stone :XD

[destiny4ever]

well we have watched and discussed quite some series "together" now, so I know quite a bit about your taste and other stuff :ninja ;)
But that’s kind of unfair; because I have no clue what type of anime girls you like…for instance I have no clue which one is your favorite SS girlhttp://www.laymark.com/i/o/77.gif (http://www.laymark.com)…what is your favorite SS girl, narutonii-kun?

Thanks for the info, maybe I should watch Code Geass when I find the time?
Code Geass is magnificent! I completely recommend you that series narutonii-kun. :thumbs


Not sure about that. Again this episode's darkstones were kind of random. Why would Kijima send two of his little "pets" to the school?
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think it was Kijima who sent those darkstones. There was no indication in the ep that would suggest that Night was the one behind those darkstones. I still don’t fully understand how darkstones work, but from what I understood they have lives of their own.

I don’t know what subbing group was behind the weird subs, but I guess it was the one (gfg) you are talking about. Thankfully, better subs were uploaded the next day. :)

well that's not entirely true, you know that I like Hanekawa Tsubasa from Bakemono (if you still remember, "silent waters are deep" ;) ). Still it's not like I prefer a single type, f.ex. I like Rukia from "Bleach", I even made a Ichi x Rukia AMV a long time ago :XD

The SS girls aren't that interesting/appealing so far, if I had to name one, it would be Kenmis assistant, the one who seems very lazy. Still I'm not very fond of the SS girls

You could be right. Still everytime we saw Kijima he used those snake like darkstones, that's why I thought he send them. I hope we will get a few answers in the next ep, Kijima has to do something now that he's running out of his medicine.

[destiny4ever]

well that's not entirely true, you know that I like Hanekawa Tsubasa from Bakemono (if you still remember, "silent waters are deep" ;) ).
Yes, and iirc I think you also like the cat version of her. ;)



Still it's not like I prefer a single type,
Ah. Got it. And it is not that I prefer only a certain type either, but I must admit I do like my tsundere boys. http://planetsmilies.net/kaos-animal-bunny-smiley-6084.gif (http://planetsmilies.net)



f.ex. I like Rukia from "Bleach", I even made a Ichi x Rukia AMV a long time ago :XD
You like Rukia? :wtf and you are an ichiRuki fan? :wtf yay!! http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m121.gif (http://www.laymark.com) And I would love to watch that AMV of yours. :wtf



The SS girls aren't that interesting/appealing so far, if I had to name one, it would be Kenmis assistant, the one who seems very lazy. Still I'm not very fond of the SS girls
Even though I’m girl, I do agree that the SS girls are not as eye-catching as the SS boys.



If you say that I will give it a try when I find the time :)
Glad to hear that. :)



I hope we will get a few answers in the next ep, Kijima has to do something now that he's running out of his medicine.
Yes, he needs to do something and do it fast. Hopefully we’ll see him in the next ep.

[naruto-niichan]

Yes, and iirc I think you also like the cat version of her. ;)

haha yeah you're right ;)


Ah. Got it. And it is not that I prefer only a certain type either, but I must admit I do like my tsundere boys. http://planetsmilies.net/kaos-animal-bunny-smiley-6084.gif (http://planetsmilies.net)

yup I noticed that :poke what stuck out most to me (this ep) is that Tandoji is a more amenable now and to be honest, I like him a lot more this way.
His little fight with Kagami was funny and I loved how he put up a sulking face. Tsundere boys/girls can be interesting but I prefer girls/boys with a more open-hearted behaviour.


Even though I’m girl, I do agree that the SS girls are not as eye-catching as the SS boys.

Yup, still Ruri looked way better this ep. It was the first time I found her kind of attractive but her character is still rather cliche/boring :/


Yes, he needs to do something and do it fast. Hopefully we’ll see him in the next ep.

Fortunately he will show up next week, I'm really looking forward to his next move.


About EP 5:

I pretty much enjoyed this episode. As I already said, Tandoji/Kagami's (and Ruri to some part) character got much more likeable in my opinion, it was interesting to see that the Kagami's served the Aiba's for a long time now. That made Kagami's (what was his first name again?) obsession with Ruri more understandable.
To be honest it was the first episode were I really liked Tandoji and after this episode he's my favourite of the series (at least for now).

The Darkstone was interesting too but I'm glad to see Kijima again next week!

Tandoji is a more amenable now and to be honest, I like him a lot more this way.
Tandoji was the redeeming part of this episode for me. His “new” look with his hair all down and wet was :luv. And I liked the scene when he was blushing at the beginning of the episode because he was thinking “ecchi” things. http://planetsmilies.net/kaos-not-tagged-smiley-4806.gif (http://planetsmilies.net)



Yup, still Ruri looked way better this ep. It was the first time I found her kind of attractive but her character is still rather cliche/boring :/
I don’t dislike Ruri, but…I actually like the club prez better. :) She is cool.



Fortunately he will show up next week, I'm really looking forward to his next move.
Me too!!

It is good to hear you enjoyed the ep, narutonii-kun. As for me…I didn’t. http://planetsmilies.net/kaos-animal-bunny-smiley-6082.gif (http://planetsmilies.net) It was boring. The only good things about this ep were IMHO:

- Tandoji’s “new” look. :luv
- The fact that it is clear now that the darkstones have lives of their own and that Knight is not controlling them.
- That Makoto likes Ruri, that Ruri likes Alma and that Alma is oblivious to it all.

I like Tandoji, he’s http://planetsmilies.net/kaos-not-tagged-smiley-4778.gif (http://planetsmilies.net). But I still remain faithful to Knight-kun, he is my # 1 SS boy. :luv

It's all about look for you, eh? :p
but that scene definitely was funny! XD

well I wouldn't say she's cool but she's definitely kind and way more interesting than Ruri :) still I kind of dislike her look

that's sad to hear :/ I agree that this ep was rather boring but Tandoji's behaviour made it acceptable. btw, did you have another song at the OP too? I found that kinda funny :amuse

Because of his looks? :p

[destiny4ever]

No, no, no, it’s not all about looks for me. http://www.laymark.com/i/b/b05.gif (http://www.laymark.com) I :luv Ryujii from Toradora and it’s not because of his looks. However, since the ep was boring it compelled me to look for redeeming things and well…Alma looked very good in that scene. http://www.laymark.com/i/b/b17.gif (http://www.laymark.com)


well I wouldn't say she's cool but she's definitely kind and way more interesting than Ruri :)
I think she is cool because she is kind, she is fun, she is passionate about what she likes, and she befriended Alma when nobody even got near him.



still I kind of dislike her look
Ahhh…so you are the one who is all about lookshttp://www.laymark.com/i/m/m024.gif (http://www.laymark.com).



btw, did you have another song at the OP too? I found that kinda funny :amuse
No, it was the same song. http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m190.gif (http://www.laymark.com)



Because of his looks? :p
I won’t deny that he is not hard to look at ;), but I also like him because he is mysterious, he seems like a bad boy but with a heart of gold, he is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and he is the most interesting character in the anime IMO.

I see but would you still like Tandoji if he were a fat, unwashed boy? :p (I know, a rather extreme example)

if you say it like that... yup you're right!


Ahhh…so you are the one who is all about lookshttp://www.laymark.com/i/m/m024.gif (http://www.laymark.com).

using my own weapons against me, not bad :poke well of course both is important but what matters most is the character :)



No, it was the same song. http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m190.gif (http://www.laymark.com)

it may be because I directly downloaded it via torrent, it was from [gg] subs. They used "Riding Dirty" as the OP but I think it was just for fun :XD

I agree on that, but Tandoji comes close. I'm definitely looking forward to see more about him next week, hopefully there will be more insight about his character

[destiny4ever]

Well…even handsome men would be unattractive if they were all dirty and smelly…


of course both is important but what matters most is the character :)
Yep, like Ryuuji, he is not the most handsome anime boy but his personality is so wonderful that I couldn’t help but fall for him (a.k.a. become a huge fangirl of his). :wtf


it may be because I directly downloaded it via torrent, it was from [gg] subs. They used "Riding Dirty" as the OP but I think it was just for fun :XD
GG subs are now known as trollsubs, I watched the ep with different subs because gg subs were terrible.


I agree on that, but Tandoji comes close.
I agree. That is why I like the two of them. :)

ITA.

[naruto-niichan]

yeah that's true XD still you got my point, or?

never watched Toradora :/ Another anime I should watch?


GG subs are now known as trollsubs, I watched the ep with different subs because gg subs were terrible.

I think you're wrong, that was [gfg], [gg] are subbing a lot of series (like Ao no Exorcist and No.6 from this season) and they are doing a good job. I always watched their release and the OP song only changed this one time now.

but I think we're getting a bit offtopic now :) I forgot to say that I always look forward to see Hellbrick, most of the time he brings a lot of fun :XD

[destiny4ever]

yeah that's true XD still you got my point, or?
Yes, I did…and you got mine, right?



never watched Toradora :/ Another anime I should watch?
Yes, it is another must-watch anime. :)

Yes, sorry, my bad, I got them mixed up. http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m048.gif (http://www.laymark.com) Gomen!



but I think we're getting a bit offtopic now :)
Well…we were talking about the subbing groups of this series and about the characters of this series, so we were not that OT. ;)



I forgot to say that I always look forward to see Hellbrick, most of the time he brings a lot of fun :XD
He is funny all right. :D

[Charlie]

New raw episode is out. The subs must be out by now. :o



The princess girl (ruri) I forget her name was kidnapped. It looks like the dark night guy needs her blood to fight off the effects of the dark stone. I wonder why Tandouji does not have the same bad prolonged effect. It looks liket things are finally getting heated up. I lol'd when Tandoujii fixed that oni statue with glue. :rofl

Cant wait for the next episode.

[destiny4ever]

Episode 7


Episode 3

In fact, I think the real bad guy is Kenmi Yuuji, yes he appeared as a benevolent researcher but I have a feeling he was experimenting on kids that had the SS power and treating them as laboratory rats, and that is probably why Night and Fei want to destroy him (and consequently his organization as well).

-So my hunch about Kenmi was right, he is the bad guy…he is despicablehttp://www.laymark.com/i/m/m189.gif (http://www.laymark.com), no wonder Knight hates him so much.

- We have a new op and a new ed…but …the songs are the same, well kind of. The ed song now is the op song and the op song now is the ed song. I loved what they did! :thumbs I thought it was very ingenious and cool and it is amazing how well the songs fit as new op and ed, respectively.

- After 7 episodes, this series is starting to get very interesting. I didn’t have this before, but now I have big hopes for this series becoming an awesome one.

- This episode made me like Knight even more than before. http://www.laymark.com/i/o/22.gif (http://www.laymark.com) And the more I watch SS, the more Knight reminds of Lulu from Code Geass.

- I liked the Fei – Knight moment at the end of the ep, it was very touching.http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m033.gif (http://www.laymark.com) Poor Fei-chan, seeing her brother like that must have been tremendously painful.

- I don’t know if it was pure innocence or plain stupidity from Alma’s part, but telling Kenmi that Knight had told them he was a bad guy…didn’t seem like a smart move.

- Looking forward to the next ep. :)

[Charlie]

@ des- about the lulu part, you're right the more he is shown the more starker the comparisons.

Alma has the standard stupidity / naivety that shonen heroes all posses.

[destiny4ever]

@ des- about the lulu part, you're right the more he is shown the more starker the comparisons.
His similarity to Lulu may be the reason why…I have fallen for Knight instead of the male lead…I mean for Alma. Yes, Alma is cool and kind and all that, but Knight has something that really attracts me. The same goes for the female lead, I don’t dislike her but I’m not a huge fan of hers. However, this episode was enough to turn me into a Fei fan, there is something about her that really captivates me.

Yeah, you’re right. I guess I forgot about that.

Looks like you were right, he is just another mad and heartless scientist :bored
the only thing I'm disappointed about in Sacred Seven are the stereotypical characters, only exception could be Knight but for now he seems rather stereotypical as well :/

Yup I thought that was a nice move, too :thumbs I really like the new OP, they did a good job! Both songs have become one of my favourites :)


After 7 episodes, this series is starting to get very interesting. I didn’t have this before, but now I have big hopes for this series becoming an awesome one.

I got a similar feeling, still after watching ep 8 and seeing that the series is only 12 eps long, my hopes really went down. The love story between Alma and Ruri was fine with me but there wasn't any remarkable plot progress :/ now everything else has to be solved in 4 episodes and that doesn't leave much room for this show to get awesome @@


I don’t know if it was pure innocence or plain stupidity from Alma’s part, but telling Kenmi that Knight had told them he was a bad guy…didn’t seem like a smart move.

I agree, both Alma and Ruri don't seem to be that smart. Or they trusted Kenmi too much

However, this episode was enough to turn me into a Fei fan, there is something about her that really captivates me.

I watched the first and second season of Code Geass and to be honest, Knight doesn't seem to share much similarities. He gives off a kinda similar vibe but that's the only thing I noticed. Lelouch really is in a whole other leaque, at least for me.
Still I feel the same way regarding Alma and Ruri, Knight and Fei are definitely more interesting.

Sacred Seven Gets Night Edition Compilation in 2012 (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-09-16/sacred-seven-gets-night-edition-compilation-in-2012)


The special edition will focus on the fighting between the Sacred Takers Alma and Night, as well as the fight with Kenmi from Night's point of view. The re-edited version will have new scenes, particularly of Night's past, and a new dialogue recording.

I'm sure desy-chan will love it :3c

I'm really looking forward to the last episode, wonder if there will be a sequel
