[QUOTE="Blockinlick, post: 28231, member: 234"] s-CRY-ed is really good. The most underrated anime (In the USA anyway, apparently in Japan it's often ranked in top 3 of all time). The thing about Scryed is that it starts simple and slow and the plot thickens and becomes more complex as the show goes on, so some patience is needed. There is also a lot of philosophy woven into it. As both main characters learn more about each others situation, their stories and the plot evolves. Guyver was good, but both of its iterations (The original was a late 80's anime and the reboot was early 2000's) got cancelled 12 to 13 episodes in. Regardless, the show had so much going for it. I feel like it's worth a watch if only to appreciate what it could have been... both times. Both iterations had a lot of charm. The original was darker, grittier, and had some gore. The reboot was less-so in those areas but the character development, particularly Aptom, was done better. If you really like the dark atmosphere of early Bleach, you would really like the original Guyver. After all, I feel like Guyvers "Zoanoids" may have been a direct inspiration for Kubo's "Hollows". Edit: In fact, the way they were created puts me in mind of MHA's Nomu's and there are even some parallels in form & function to Titan Shifters. So Guyver could have been inspiration for a lot of today's anime. [/QUOTE]
