The story in a nutshell is set a few years after "The Great Uprising" and this in return sets up the character plots. Alters vs. HOLY. Alters are people who gained certain abilities from the incident a few years back, and they live outside the inner city just trying to survive, but HOLY wishes to either eliminate them all, or bring them to their side.
This show is very enjoyable. A lot of choice words thrown out here and there, nothing anyone hasn't heard before. If your a fan of DBZ, you'll most likely enjoy this one too. The story is great, the Animation is fantastic with awesome sound to go with it. As I said, the characters make the show even better, and it's just all around enjoyable.
Emotion also runs high in this one. A lot of anger from Kazuma, Scheris and Mimori make love a real issue for Ryuhou, and Ryuhou is just one of those lost boys trying to figure out what's really going on in the world and what really happened in his past. Kanami makes this story enjoyable too. And those are just a few of the most important characters. Cougar is a pretty funny guy too ;] The two main guys are Kazuma and Ryuhou, which in every other episode they're pretty much punching each other's faces into the ground, or arguing about something or other.
Overall, s-CRY-ed is one anime your not going to want to miss out on. The art is beautiful, the plot gets thicker and thicker as you get into further episodes, and you really have to pay attention in the beginning to understand everything to the fullest. This one isn't an anime you have to read the manga for either, so there's a plus. The manga goes into more details about the story, but oh well.
s-CRY-ed gets a 10/10 overall from me. Make sure to watch it sometime.
