STORY
- Personally I wanted this anime to have took place on the surface instead of Underground. I find that the whole Underground Idea was surprising at first because I thought it would actually look like another world but it was pretty lame mostly because of the walls and such.
EMOTIONS
- I find that some of the characters didn't show proper emotions. For example when Ruri was on the other side of the bridge and Rumina and the stupid girl came and then Rumina got hit by Pairon because the stupid girl came and she was all shocked. The thing is, that stupid girl never felt guilty, SHE TECHNICALLY KILLED RUMINA, and she never said one word about it after that except that she has doubts on Company now. So the emotions in this anime was a major problem to begin with. Also it didn't seem very convincing at first that Rumina had feelings for Ruri (In other words, why would Rumina save her if he doesn't know anything about her all)
ARTWORK/ANIMATION/CHARACTER
- The artwork, now, this wasn't that so bad because it was an OLD anime afterall. Then came the animation, this was kind of umm lame.. The main character Rumina looked pretty stupid, and not stupid in the way of that usual anime characters are when they are making jokes and such. When I mean he looked stupid I mean even when he was serious he had this stupid aura surrounding him lol. (Well that is what I think, it might not be the same for everyone, well of course all of this is my opinion Lolz) This also to do with the animation, the animation was also very stupid.. It made it look like everyone was 12 year old boys and girls fighting like little babies. Oh and one thing that disturbed me the MOST was that there was no blood in most of the fights EVEN THOUGH they show blood like when Rumina gets hurt on the bridge and he scratches Pairon's Retarded face.. uhh sorry I just had to add the adjective retarded over there.. idk why.. Anywhore, moving on to the good things because so far I have been complaining A LOT
GOOD THINGS BECAUSE ALMOST EVERYTHING SUCKS
- Now the anime itself wasn't bad because of the story-line and the character development. The way Rumina learned his Wind techniques was not bad and how he wanted to save Ruri really really bad was assuring at least. Well it was nice to see another anime where the boy gets his power from a crying girl (non sarcastic way) even though it is most common in animes, this one felt different. Rumina did seem childish but he was determined way more than Stupid Chelsea.
OVERALL
- This show wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The first few episodes made me think that this anime would have taken place above the surface both it was underground. I find that when it was above, it felt more relaxing but that is my opinion again. Sure the underground feeling and the whole another world feeling made it more adventurous. But the thing is the underground world itself didn't make the anime feel like an adventure because of the walls itself. What kind of adventure anime is full with walls. Now that's just.. retarded but oh well, it has been forgotten. After watching this series all you could about is - "wished the ending was better"
like all animes. I would give it 6/10 but don't get me wrong, its because of the shitty animation, art and how the characters are which are all minor details compared to the good storyline, character developement and enjoyment of this anime.
Tokyo Underground - 6/10
- Medium chance it may worth your time.
- Your Welcome
