Featuring all 26 episodes of Tokyo
Underground that is a whopping 650 minutes in length, this is the
penultimate collection of the series. With big anime eyes, over the
top acting and storylines, this is the cliché of anime that at the
end of the day (or month) is a great entertaining series that
contains action, humour and excitement. The tale revolves around
three characters that include Chelsea Rorec, Ruri Sarasa and Rumina
Asagi who band together to fight the forces of evil.
The series begins with Rumina Asagi, a
kind of high school hero who upon returning home discovers that two
girls have hidden themselves inside his grandfathers home. When more
strangers make themselves known and the nefarious Seki who is hell
bent on destroying Chelsea and Ruri, Rumani heroically defends
them... unbeknown to him that these two girls also have powers of
their own.
The battles are quite entertaining to
watch and as the series progresses, we soon learn Rumina has the
ability to control the winds. We also learn that these "humans" with
super powers were actually from Tokyo Underground that was closed
the surface world due to a dark company which researched on these
beings. From here, the trio are on a journey of liberation,
discovery and a climatic conclusion which threatens the very fabric
of mankind.
The characters of Tokyo Underground are
quite relatable and even though some of the episodes are quite
predictable, the series is still an enjoyable roller coaster ride
from start to finish and for a price of $59.95, there is little to
complain about 650 minutes of pure anime goodness!
