Tokyo Underground

Armed with super-natural abilities, the characters of s-CRY-ed will fight until they win. They will save their place in society and defeat HOLY, much the same way the characters of Tokyo Underground have their special abilities and must fight to save Ruri and stop the evils of the Underground. If you liked one of theseseries, you will surely like the other.

Both Tokyo underground and Scryed are about a battle between good and bad. They both involve special powers and people pushing themselves to the limits to help save someone.

These two shows (Tokyo Underground and s-CRY-ed) center around young men who go thorugh intense battles, continuously pushing themselves to levels of power above and beyond most. Kazuma and Rumina both begin with low levels of power (actually, Rumina starts with none at all) and go through so much intense fighting and strain that they increase their power tremendously. Both of them actually win an early fight in the series before being shown how weak they are. What is different, however, is the motivations for these two characters. Scryed takes a deeper look into the psyche of its characters while Tokyo Underground spends more time developing a cliche love story. Both, however, provide moments of deep emotion, intense battles with amazingly cool animation, and even occasional humor.

Though the fights in Scryed are more intense, both main characters in Scryed and Tokyo Underground seek to grow stronger to protect the ones they love. Watch how they develop their special powers and stop the evil plans they're a pawn of.

The stories of Scryed and Tokyo Underground is quite similar, with a typical good vs evil setup. Both series is about teenagers with mystical powers wich they learn to use to protect people near to them. Watching scryec made me think back to tokyo underground wich I had watched earlier, and the similarities are numerous. If you liked scryed, you're gonna like tokyo underground to.

Another group of empowered teens fighting against the opressive "big bad corporation". The plot that seems to dominate quite a few animes lately. But this is actually one of the few that Ihave enjoyed, good music, fresh animation, especially in the later episodes. A believeable cast of characters and a fairly well done storyline.

While Scryed defies stereotype simply by excelling, surpassing the mediocrity of most action-based anime, Tokyo Underground embraces it, producing a predictable yet enjoyable series. Tokyo Underground may not have quite the following of Scryed, but it deserves a look.

Both animes are mainly about embarking on a huge adventure, and the main guy does so for a girl he just met. I found that the cast of characters have about the same traits, and that their choice of comedy has a similar style. Tokyo Underground involves some neat supernatural powers, while Erementar Gerad has plenty of action.

Both of these anime are about a young boy who suddenly finds himself with a strange new power after meeting a cute girl. Both then embark on an adventure because of this. Also both female protagonists are special in some way and thus the target for power hungry antagonists. While the focus is the love between the two protagonists and the attempts of the male to protect the female there is enough humour in both to keep things light at times without being silly and also a good amount of action to prevent things becoming too slushy. Elemental Gelade has a bit more depth to the story but both are deep enough to keep you interested without being too involved.

Elemental Gelade and Tokyo Underground are centered around the male protagonist's desire to protect the enigmatic female.

Both males contain the traits of being incredibly persistent and arduous, yet still ignorant about emotions, relationships and the world in general.

The female counterparts are similary very mysterious; speaking little and appearing pretty much clueless yet inbued with incredible powers.

More so in Elemental Gelade, when both male and female lead are together, their ability to overcome their foes increases dramatically.

Both animes ultimately revolve around the character's emotional journey understanding their feelings for each other as well as the physical journey undertaken protecting each other and the world around them.

Slapstick humour is employed in both to lighten the mood, with action being employed liberally for most episodes.

Main differences is in setting (Tokyo Underground is a mysterious new world), the various relationships between characters, and the motivations for each 'side'.

Both Tokyo Underground and Get Backers are fighting anime where characters are in control of strange supernatural powers. By providing a small story to tie things together, they end up with two common prospects. Go see how the other story develops them now. ;)

Both of these shows have the main characters and their friends fighting with special powers to overcome a problem. In TU Rumina has to learn about his new powers, in GB the main team has already had them. Other than that, both of these shows are similar in the characteristics and style. Just because you've seen one, doesn't mean you shouldn't see the other.
