add recGimmicky fights, cheesy dialogue, and an uncomplicated plot; if those are the elements you enjoyed about Shadow Skill, then X The Movie will be a bloodier, darker, and better animated next step. Both utilise a lot of fantasy in their ideas and their relative plots are driven by action between characters with unique skills.

add recIf you actually liked Shadow Skill, then there is no doubt you will love Tenjho Tenge. It's not just superior in terms of plot (which isn't to say TT has a stunning plot, just that it's better), but the action sequences are just far more fun to watch. In the end, both anime try to turn martial arts into something a bit more mystical, and the characters are defined almost entirely by what they contribute to the action, but TT actually pulls it off. It's best to throw away your copy of Shadow Skill and replace it with this much better series.

The evil Bison has returned with sinister plans to take over the world using Shadow Law, his nefarious crime syndicate! His cyborg goons are searching the globe to take out any martial artist who might stand in Bison's way -- brainwashing and recruiting those who they defeat.

Now, with the help of allies who are out for revenge, can Ryu defeat this all-powerful fighting machine before Bison enslaves him as well?

add recShadow Skill is a poor man's martial arts anime in comparison to Street Fighter II. If you want more duel-based action, where honour and courage and one-liners abound, but actually entertain you, then you'll want to try SFII next. There's far less emphasis on fantasy in Street Fighter, but it has its outrageous moments too.
