Sacred 7 01 - This is Sunrise shonen mecha. That's about all you need to know. Sacred 7 is very shonen, and above all very Sunrise. The hero is a guy who's somewhere on the borderline between depressed and being a jerk. He's a school student, and everyone except for this one girl is scared of him. He has special powers, and doesn't like that because he hurt a bunch of people with them once. But this girl doesn't believe he's dangerous, so she asks him to join her school club.
First, our MC refuses the rich girl's request for him to fight for good with his powers. Then, villains attack! And oh no, the girl who asked him to join that club is in the area of the attack! The monters are stone Medusas, who can turn people into stone and destroy stuff. Fighting them are an army of girls in maid dresses led by a very rich girl and her butler who is also a strong fighter and can drive a mech. Yes indeed, this is anime, bad anime, what else could you have expected? (That this kind of thing is predictable says some things about anime today I think... but anyway.) Anyway, the hero decides to go save the girl on his scooter. When he arrives his powers go out of control and he destroys one stone monster but goes crazy. The rich girl stops him (somewhat risky move) and then turns him into a costumed superhero with a long red scarf, so he can fight the monsters without going nuts. And so he does. End of episode.
Overall, it wasn't very good. It wasn't the worst thing ever, but it was quite bland and generic for the genre. Its main unique feature of sorts, I guess, is that there were some in this episode, and we can surely expect much more of in the future, Sunrisey antics. ... Problem is, that's probably more a bad thing than a good one... :)
At least there isn't some conspiracy thing, yet, the people in the city clearly noticed the monsters. I wonder where the story's going to go with that, if anywhere.
(Don't ask me anyone's names, I don't remember any of them except for Wakana, the girl he rescued, whose name I just managed to remember. They aren't especailly memorable, and the show's more about destruction, brooding, ridiculousness, and fighting than it is anything else anyway.)
