have any of you ever seen Tokyo Underground. If you haven't you should, here is a summary of the anime.
Beneath the streets of Tokyo, way down below the abandoned subway tunnels, far down deep into the darkness, there is another world. It is a dark, forgotten world, the Tokyo Underground. From this world, two exhausted figures come running. Chelsea Rourke and Ruri Sarasa are involved in a desperate conflict. They are escaping from the underground world and forces of evil are hot on their heels. Chelsea and Ruri find a temporary safe haven in the home of Rumina Asagi, a tough high school punk. He and his friend Ginosuke help the weary girls and offer them a place to stay. Ruri is an important personage in the underground world, and is called the "Inochi no Miko." Chelsea is Ruri's guard, and helps her to escape. The surface world is a unusual experience for them, and the boys are quite shocked to discover their new houseguests have amazing supernatural powers! However, the danger has not passed. Villains chasing the girls appear on Rumina's doorstep, and the fight continues. Chelsea does her best to protect Ruri, but during a moment of weakness, Rumina steps in to try and help, and he is killed for his efforts! It is then that the boys learn the strength of Ruri's life powers, when she brings him back to life, awakening his latent Wind powers! Now Rumina has a stronger weapon with which to protect Ruri, and he does his best to learn how to use his new-found strength. Unfortunately this is just the beginning of many fierce battles that test his abilities and serve to strengthen his resolve to protect Ruri. |

A summary is nice, but what do you think about it? What makes it worth watching, in your opinion?

sounds like it might be alright. I might look into it next time Im in the market for a Shounen/Action/Adventure typa show.

Tokyo Underground was actually replayed here twice in the Philippines...
I really like the story and the characters, but well the ending was bit disappointing... And i really like the opening song "Jounetsu" by iksi:d... But I think you should have enclosed the summary in a spoiler tag... |

That summary is about what you would get to describe show to decide to see if you want to watch it, I don't see how any of that would "spoil" the show and I think it's fine the way it is.
I am actually in the process of watching this show now, I have seen through disk 3. I said somewhere else once (on the review for the show) that if you like Flame of Recca, or even Yu Yu Hakusho, this show would be in the same vein. I can't say the animation is great, however it certainly isn't bad. I find all the character designs adorable, the guys and girls are all easy on the eyes. I like what I have seen so far and am surprised this series doesn't seem to have more chatter about it as it seems like something people would generally like. Yes, parts are very generic, but I don't find that to always be a bad thing. I am looking forward to seeing the end. Edit: I take back what I said about the animation, it isn't bad, I am just currently comparing stuff to Basilisk which isn't fair to do. The animation is actually pretty good.

Tokyo Underground grabbed my attention when I saw it recommended to people who liked Hunter x Hunter on another forume some time ago. I saw 2 episodes and not one bit of it interested me enough to watch any more.
Should I have given it more of a chance? Probably. But there were other, more promissing shows to watch and it'll take a lot of convincing to give it another chance. |

If it's the same thing I remembered... I agree. I didn't like it. |

I have and it's not that bad. I just think that they rushed it a bit. If they didn't then it could have turned out to be a great series.
