THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
According to the following family picture,

Ruri looks to have a twin sister. Now it would be interesting if it turns out that the crystal she has is her sister's soul but alas the truth is far more gruesome. According to the following spoiler
the sister of Ruri is entrapped in a crystal while she is still alive as Alma heard her heart beat. Now that is pretty screwed. Unfortunately Kagami had to pay a nasty prize for revealing all this in the spoiler
that slap was totally ouch.


The monster was EPIC in the following,

it was far better than the monster of the first episode. Way better than I would think of such a vast improvement that includes an air fight and a most amazing Ruri/Alma pose in the spoiler
now that was nice. Other than that it is to note that the monster's dragons have a rather interesting power in the spoiler
and as such it is rather well explained here of what they can do. So the computer is rather a powerful information tool. I was totally surprised that the monster had these dragon heads too and that they spew out fire. One of the best intense moments is when Alma saved Ruri from being eaten by one of the dragon heads in a split second time in the spoiler
that is really close. I find it more baffling that upon Alma choosing that same weapon he did on Medusa, fires it and it blows up in one shot the insides of the monster. I highly suspect he aimed properly at that crystal inside. Well in any case the most baffling and IMO a little cheap is that all of the monster including its dragon heads wither away in the spoiler
I find it kind of too convenient for an aftermath.

About Ruri, I want to say that I am incredibly satisfied with Ruri's many appearance in the spoiler
it was even nicer to see her when she was child. Ruri's place is very elegant and vast. My most favorites is Alma x Ruri scene in the spoiler
it is totally undeniable that she did not have any feelings for Alma there.
Her face being all red is a dead giveaway.

About the ED, it had much appreciation from me in regards to featuring some kick ass frames of Alma and Ruri in the spoiler
those were really nice and the one from the enemy of Alma. There is also one of Ruri here that I like.

About the preview, a strong episode awaits us as I am getting hyped up for what awaits in the spoiler
that fight shall be most interesting. There is that guy who apparently will activate some cage around him and that supposedly gives him a suit like Alma has. There shall be more monster fighting and the enemy of Alma is coming full force. I want to know who is that in the suit here and the powers of that enemy when he blocks a hit, are rather interesting.

Interesting episode, but feel like it's nothing special just an averages episode. :D

Does Ruri meet Alma before when they was kid?
It's looks pretty much the same guy but Alma doesn't seem to remember her at all, is that the reason she put her trust into him?

The school now become luxurious. (I wish my school had a superintendant like her)
He was bullied and lost his pendant. (Those guys got what they asked for, annihilation)
New enemy comes. We need the hero. So the butler told him about Ruri's twin sister.
He got thrown out of the aircraft. (Go! Go!)
And Ruri flew out too, carrying only faith within him. (Oh shit, don't screw up, man)
As expected of STAR DRIVER look-alike, hero rules.
Nice moment between Ruri and Aruma. (I like this, because there's Ranka's voice)
And so she knows him long ago. (And falls for him since then?)

No it is him but Alma does not remember because of that incident with all these kids throwing away that pendant he had, which does look like the one Ruri has now.

Yeah totally with you there buddy. They were asking for it.

So there's a reason to him causing trouble (and used the power of the rock).

Wait, Alma is taller than Kagami?


lol @ Kagami's chasing Alma with "skydiving".

So Okamoto-san's character will be out next ep.?

I actually liked the OP sequence, reminded me of star driver (like someone said before in the first thread lol)
woo background on Alma, Ruri and wakana (sorta...) The reason for Alma's rage in the past has been revealed =o I take it that pendant is also a memento of his mother like ruri's
love the school transformation scene LOL 380yen for that steak, thats pretty awesome
Alma mustve had a huge growth spurt o_O; hes even taller than kagami ._.; Epic monster was epic and that red hole of doom was crazy o_o

And now I finally got used to the pretty different FictionJunction song.

Oh the lulzy Engrish. I love it.
On another note, is Alma like, the longest Japanese ever?
Gettan' Eureka Seven vibes from the whole boarding thing, but I get the feeling this'll be better than E7.
Anti-climatic battle is anti-climatic.
And I'm liking Nakajima Megumi more and more, all the time.

Oh and, Onigawara is awesome as hell. Σ(゜д゜;

I'm just curious on how does ruri have so many gems/jewels that is needed to activate the powers of arma and what does ruri mean when she says "I'll take your memories" then activates arma's power

hopefully, on the next few episodes it will get answered haha, anyway, 5/5 episode for me since I got to see a new weapon of arma and a romantic scene between him and ruri

I also feel bad with onigawara, without him, the battle would have dragged on since arma doesn't know where to hit the enemy...

and here I thought those expressions or "signs" he make is useless since arma just touched them and it was broken into pieces... LOL

delicious nakamegu loli and the best production values of the season by far. Great fun to watch, nothing special but rather nice

the ending to fight was anti-climatic but apart from that it was very impressively made. Liking this show.

i just cant like this anime for some reason. the animation is too.....how do you say, cheap and rushed. the dialogue doesnt flow well...

and they just keep throwing things in there like.. oh, this hepens becuase oh btw i used to know him when i was a kid.....blah blah blah.

the whole thing just feels like someone wants to tell a good story, but they don't have time to spend on the crucial details.

Wut. It's got by far the best production values this season. Animation quality (just look at the fight in the end) is pretty much incomparable to anything else airing right now that isn't Nichijou

It's fun, dumb action show to me. Nothing more, nothing less.

Lol at school upgrade.
At least we got some info on things here. But it's coming off as weak and lulzy. Megaman Arma is cool though. I'd like to see all the features of his powers.
Also, Onigawara is the best character here, nuff said.

I find it weird that the butler has the family pic in his phone/device. Just sayin'

Jackie Chan Adventures has much more entertaining plot than Sacred Seven. Not that I hate Jackie Chan Adventures, not at all. That show was awesome. But what I'm implying is that the plot wasn't the forte of the Jackie Chan Adventures. That's how ridiculously dumb the plot of Sacred Seven is.

I'll be dropping this for now. I'll keep following the discussion threads to see if it gets better, but I doubt I'll pick it up again in the future. That is all.

Things are moving WAY too quickly.

There were many annoying parts, especially that girl.

The fight was to be honest, lame. They make a huge deal out of the Darkstone, and then he kills it in about 5 seconds.

My overall 'like' for this show definitely decreased...

I mean, it wasn't terrible...but seriously not great either.

I really don't like this show so far...

She doesn't have time for a parachute? Literally? My goodness, that was pure stupidity.

The more & more I look at her I think of Blossom off of PPG...

I was hoping this episode would clear up why there was so many darn maids running around, but it didn't. It did however give some back story, but it was sooooo cliche that it brought down the overall rating [from a 4 to a 3].

The butler is the only redeeming character to this series.

2/5 3/10...I really don't want to drop another series, so I am going to keep watching.

hmmm nothing amazing happened in the action department but they took some time to explain some of the background of the characters. They gave a lot of info on Arma's background, the incident, when he meets the club girl and also some kind of event with the rich one as well.
Sadly the battle was trully lame, just hit on the obvious week spot was not really a good way to go with this.
Also the rich girl doesn't really want to force him into this, yet she jumps out of the plane without parachute and force him to transform.... =S

Two episdoes in, not so bad so far. I just wish they reduce the amounts maids, it really prevents me from taking this anime seriously.

Dude, you could write a five page essay on a paper bag, I swear to God! XD

Anyways, despite how terribly cliche and ridiculous this show is, I don't really dislike it. We could use a villain, a few more side characters (Sacred Seven. Wait, now I'm reminded of the magnificent seven...), a bit more of an explanation for this and that, lack of rushing, etc. I think what bugged me the most is that they threw in how Ruri met Arma, how the schoolgirl met Arma, AND Ruri's crystalized sister all in the same episode.
