After defeating the evil Chaos, Syaoran and the gang have arrived in what appears to be an apocalyptic and run-down Tokyo – a city in which acid rain has destroyed the buildings and taken numerous lives. The atmosphere is ripe with tension, as the city’s remaining survivors have formed clans in hopes of protecting the underground wells from other clans and strangers alike – strangers like Syaoran and friends. With Sakura’s remaining feathers being located in the wells and opposition at every turn, the feathers’ retrieval seems dire, and Syaoran will finally face his most dangerous enemy...
Kamui has returned to Tokyo with a traumatizing past, but he is not the only one. Many people are returning to Tokyo for the same reason: they play a part in the End of the World. The Dragons of Earth and the Dragons of Heaven now must fight for the destruction or safety of the world. But is this troubled Kamui really the key to saving the world?
Tsubasa Chronicle: Tokyo Revelations and X TV are superb examples of the darker side of shoujo anime. Both done in CLAMP's beautiful style, both stories tap into the complexity of love and loss without having to pause any of the action. Fans of X will love the references to original story made in Tokyo Revelations, while fans of Tokyo Revelations will find more depth and complexity to the characters and story by being exposed to the original X.
Besides these both being Clamp, each shows the tragic course of friends turning enemy, and the sacrifices made for love. They are both dark stories, action-packed, and full of pain.
Thor and Rai are twins who live on an advanced space colony called ‘Juno’. Things take a nasty turn one day when they are kidnapped by the Federal Army’s Special Forces and abandoned on the hostile prison planet Chimera. A cycle on Chimera consists of 181 days of scorching heat and 181 nights of below-freezing temperatures – not to mention it is populated almost entirely by carnivorous plants. The convicts on Chimera have found only one means of survival – reverting back to the law of beasts. For the strong-willed Thor adjustment comes naturally; but for his naive and weaker brother Rai, things do not go as well. Thor must now use all his wits, strength and courage to endure life as a member of Chimeran society, rise above the rest, and take the only ticket off this planet: becoming the Beast King.
Let's see. Tokyo Revelations and Jyu Oh Sei are about kids stranded in an area of limited resources. They are about Darwinian's "survival of the fittest". You'll also see some competition between groups within their worlds, along with plenty of action! I really like the ending songs to both Jyu Oh Sei and Tokyo Revelations, as well. They are two short series, but both have great trials.
In downtown Tokyo, walking the streets has become dangerous once the day turns to night. Lifeless demons called "Oni" have taken over the streets and are devouring innocent citizens of Tokyo, leaving them dry and lifeless. Kyouichi and Tatsuma are two high school students who hold supernatural abilities that allow them to defeat the Oni at night. Though they continue to fight what seems to be a never ending battle, they've yet to discover the main threat towards humanity -- the group working behind the scenes in charge of the Oni...
After watching all of Tsubasa Chronicles, I am a little surprised myself to make this connection. The two seasons were very "Clamp-esque" and could be classed as family friendly. Tokyo Revelations takes a step into the dark side, and is much more violent than its predecessors.
I would recommend Tokyo Majin as it has a similar flow throughout. The fight scenes are well drawn, and there is plenty of action and excitement. There is the same deep rooted friendship and respect between the characters, and plenty of suspense and mystery.
This is a very difficult recommendation, as many fans of Tsubasa series will probably not enjoy Tokyo Majin, and vice versa. However, if your anime enjoyment is wide ranging, I would really recommend Tokyo Majin.
