About Asura Cryin

Asura Cryin (Asura Cryin' 2) arrives as an action anime by Seven Arcs (2009), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Following the first season, Tomoharu is now faced with a dilemma: if he doesn't form a contract with an "akuma," he risks losing his dear ally Takatsuki. However, doing so would compromise his own existence as it would result in him and his ghost companion Misao becoming an Asura Cryin'—mankind's biggest threat, according to their school's presidents.

Soon after, to make the decision even harder, Tomoharu and Misao have recovered some of their past memories—memories of a realm that they didn't even know existed.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
