Yuito Sumeragi and his friend Nagi Karman have completed training and are graduating as privates first class in the elite 'Other Suppression Force'. Yuito's life was saved by an OSF 'Scarlet Guardian' when he was a child, and while his psionic powers (skill: psychokinesis) are modest he hopes to repay the debt. He is impressed by Kasane Randall, a much more capable OSF fighter but a girl who is troubled by strange dreams. They quickly get their baptism of fire when an attack occurs by the terrifying 'Others' which feed on human brains.

(One episode watched):

An elite unit of special fighters with magic-like abilities, taking on bizarre and terrifying monsters in the not-too-distant future--this show quickly struck me as pretty formulaic. We are told that the 'mother of all conspiracies' will be revealed eventually, but including conspiracies in the plots of these shows is pretty formulaic too. Apparently this show is based on a video game. Scarlet Guardians seem to be espers who employ a range of psychic powers to fight the bizarre Others (one of which looked like a vase full of flowers with legs). There's a range of new terms, like 'Struggle Arms System' and 'The Extinction Belt', but for now little is explained. Let me guess: while Yuito's 'psionic powers' are mediocre, we'll eventually learn that he has some unique and priceless ability. I was never really thrilled or impressed by episode one of this show. At the end I did not really care what form this conspiracy would take, what the secrets of the Others would be, or how the main characters would fare. The Others are so weird that I cannot really take them seriously, and neither Yuito nor anyone else struck me as particularly interesting. I probably should watch a second episode to make certain my first impressions were accurate, but I feel like doing so would be a chore and a waste of time.
