Pure action and not so much character development is the theme of Shadow Skill and Scryed. Senseless fighting for one cause or another, enemies everywhere, opressed people who need help against a greater force, and mystic powers that are constantly honed to become even greater... THAT is what these two series are mainly all about.

sothis
Shadow Skill TV and Scryed are very good recommendations for each other... not only because of the action-packed superpower craziness, but for the character development, and interjections of comedy in between. Scryed is definitely a bit more supernatural/unusual in nature than the mostly martial-arts based Shadow Skill, but I can't see why you wouldn't like one if you liked the other.
Lothar
The most obvious similarity between Shadow Skill and Scryed is the non-stopp, always all out, crazy superpower action. While scryed features unnatural powers wich thr characters are born with, shadow skill is about power achieved through lots and lots of training. Both series shows a wide array of emotions, such as the happiness of friendship or the frustration of being inferior. If you enjoyed shadow skill and want more action-packed anime, go watch scryed right now.

Slayers and Shadow Skill are quite similar. Slayers is less serious than Shadow Skill and has more magic than barehanded fights. The main chacters, Line Inverse (Slayers) and Elle Ragu (Shadow Skill) for both series are very similar. (They even share the same voice actor Hayashibara Megumi). Both often end up in trouble for destroying people's houses etc. Both series have a lot hilarious moments.

It may sound a bit weird for those who know both anime's, but i really see a resemblance in Elle Ragu and Lina Inverse, they both have quite a temper and tend to be clumsy, also Megumi Hayashibara voiced both characters.

The storylines are also somewhat alike, for eksamble the epic timeline setting and how they both travel aimlessly around in the world fighting for either fame or greed.

Either way, if you like Megumi Hayashibara's awesome voice and 90th anime's, i can recommend both.

The way in which the characters fight, that is shadow skill's "begin martial arts language" and the element control in tokyo underground make the action feel very similar. Additionally the cast of supprting characters is similar... not that the characters themselves are really similar, just how the core set of main characters feels together is similar...
Lothar
While Tokyo underground might not be all that all out action show that Shadow skill is, there's still lots of similarities. The characters are never giving up because they are fighting to protect the people important to them and thier skills improve all the way throughout the series. If you liked Shadow skill, the give Tokyo underground a try, you won't regret it.

Kenshin and Shadow Skill TV both have a very similar format... starting out light hearted and comedic, and turning into something quite serious. But that isn't the only reason I recommended this. The character development in both is something to be interested in, with fighting being a pivotal role in each. The characters must strive to be stronger to save the ones they love, and that is why you'd like one if you liked the other. The tone of the series, the plot advancement, and much more.

Both series have a fighting spirit! Shadow Skill and HnI's characters are not very similar but in general I think you'll like one if you liked the other.
