About Tokyo Underground

Meet Tokyo Underground (東京アンダーグラウンド), an action, adventure and romance anime by Studio Pierrot (2002). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: Under the capital city of Tokyo, Japan, there exists a large, vast, and unknown world known as Underground. There, people known as Elemental Users exist; people who have the ability to control the elements: Fire, Water, Lightning, Magnetism, Freeze, etc.

More of the story: Meet Rumina Asagi and his best friend Ginnosuke Isuzu, two average high school freshmen who reside in Tokyo. When they crosses paths with Gravity User, Chelsea Rorec, and the Miko of Life, Ruri Sarasa, their whole life changes into one big adventure.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Reiyon (Mayumi Iizuka) and Rumina Asagi (Tomokazu Seki) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. At 26 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Studio Pierrot, which means the visual identity of Tokyo Underground follows that studio's craft. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.1/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Mayumi Iizuka as Reiyon, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2002, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
