SynopsisThe story takes place in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
In spring, a mysterious student transfers to Magami Academy. His name is Hiyu Tatsuma. Then, he meets Horaiji Kyoichi of the kendo club, Daigo Yuya of the wresting club, Sakurai Komaki of the kyudo (Japanese archery) club, and Misato Aoki who is the student leader, as if they were attracted by something. Being influenced by Ryumyaku or Dragon Vein, which became active suddenly, they are awakened as "persons who posses powers". Since that day, monsters called "Oni" appear and begin to assault Tokyo. Also, those who use evil power to control Oni appear. To protect Tokyo from them, Tatsuma and his friend stand up to fight. Then, they have to face their destiny... (from AnimeNfo) |

Both shows include awnsome action!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you like a good shonen series try Bleach.
lots,and lots of awsome action with good animation, there are quite a few really funny jokes here and there, and the character designs r pretty origional, each character has a simple mordern teen look that suits there personalities, and the anime moves at a really fast paste most of the time

Oct 27, 200714 of 14 episodes seen 30 of 40 people found this review helpful This anime has all the classic elements from shounen, action, anime and uses them to produce this eerie, confusing yet superb show. ^_^
The story follows five students: Tatsuma, Kyouichi, Aoi, Sakurai and Daigo who never really have talked to each other, in their fight to protect the city. The 1st episode was extremely intense and exciting to watch, on the other hand it will leave you completely bewildered and wondering what was going on. Yet for the first couple episodes of Tokyo... Majin not much was explained about the current plot and it felt unnecessarily confusing. It's only until episode 7 "Multitude of Demonic Arts" that a lot of the main questions were answered, which gives chance for a less confusing show that can be fully appreciated.
The animation was superb which looked like a mix between the anime "Shakugan no Shana" and "Samurai Champloo". The character designs were decent but the weird designs for the demons and undead definitely was disgusting but great. The fight scenes were definitely interesting to watch and usually it can become really intense and gory, combining all the popular fighting styles found in most Shounen anime and making it work well with the story. The only real problem with the animation is that some scenes can get way too dark and the quality of the characters faces degrades at a distance.
The music was alright and suited the mood of this eerie, gory and intense anime perfectly nonetheless if you despise "Hard Rock" then you'll obviously have a problem with this anime. However there's also a superb orchestra score during dramatic moments and even though the soundtrack is limited, it's still great.
Overall this anime has all the standard elements found in Shounen anime (team of good guys, special powers, the main bad guy, the minor bad guys under control and so on…) and it works well in this series. Nonetheless there is still quite a bit of confusion in this series, right through to the end of the Dark Law Chapters. Even though there was a fantastic build up to the end, with plenty of fights and surprising developments, the Dark Law Chapters ended at such an anti-climax. Yet the reason for this high score is because this anime has a lot of potential, with the coming second season "Martial Fist Chapters".
So I recommend this anime to any shounen anime fan, because you won't be disappointed with what you get.

Oct 2, 200714 episodes 19 of 27 people found this review helpful hm.. alright so.. i'm not exactly sure why this anime hasn't scored a higher average.. it's one of the most fantastic things i've seen in awhile.. i was even tempted to rate it a 10 just because i enjoyed it so much..
the story might sound a little familiar.. dragon veins, daoist monks, martial arts, spiritually-endowed high school students faced with an apocalyptic event.. but so what if the elements aren't anything new.. it works, plain and simple.. and compared with other end-o...f-the-world anime, this one wins hand-down as far as style goes.. the story is pretty easy to follow, though the spiritual stuff gets a bit confusing [kinda has to be].. i really had no serious complaints.
the art.. wow dude.. i loved it.. heh-i even watched the entire series streamed and the quality wasn't perfect.. and it STILL blew me away.. the character design is great and the fight scenes were riveting [no lie].. usually i get bored with the fight scenes, especially when they drag on forever.. but Tokyo Majin is the perfect blend of story and fighting.. all with eye-candy animation.. never a dull moment, in my opinion.. first episode is probably my favorite as far as the action goes.. hell, they're all spectacular.. the fighting is so.. fluid.. i guess would be an accurate word to use.. bah.. can't get over it.. kind of like samurai champloo fight scenes.. but better.. bloodier.. heh if you don't mind that sort of thing.. plus the monsters/demons weren't cheesy like they tend to be in other series.. sweet designs.. and they actually creeped me out.. which doesn't happen very often.
sound was definitely good as well.. nothing bothered me, but nothing really blew me away either.. it all blended together though so.. no complaints here.. they kept it dark enough to fit the mood, but not over the top..
characters.. perfect.. there's just enough romance for those of you who enjoy that stuff.. but nothing that detracts from the story.. sometimes that sort of thing can really take away from the overall impression.. this is not a series about love.. though i guess no series would be complete without a good romance or two.. heh.. but yea.. i honestly couldn't pick a favorite character.. well, i'd definitely rule out the journalist chick since she's hella annoying.. so ok-one negative there.. but the dynamics of the rest of the cast are more than enough to overpower one stupid little girl with a camera.
as far as enjoyment goes, i couldn't have asked for more.. just uh.. anxious to see the second season is all..
so there you have it..
i HIGHLY recommend this series. read more
