While this show put the elemental motif's usage to its full potential, that's where everything that's good about this show stopped for me.
I've never disliked an action anime before that accurately satisfies all the criteria and things I loved about anime until I watched this show.
There's nothing interesting or likeable going on in this show at all.
Everything in this show is just standard generic drivel.
You have a generic male lead, who's still in K-12 school, meets a girl, discovers his inner abilities, female lead gets captured, guy goes to save him.
But what makes that dislikeable is that the male lead saving the female lead is all that goes on FOR THE ENTIRE SHOW.
And it's just...idk. There's too much to say and I don't care enough to go on.
So yeah, if you're looking for an…

Tokyo Underground feels like a lot of other shonen action series from around this point in time. You have a guy with short hair, average height, decent fighter, spirited, and a good heart. You also have the sweet maiden character who is completely useless or the tough but not really tomboyish girl. This one has both.
Tokyo underground has all these things in common and more but it falls short in a few things making it actually lesser than a lot of the others. First of all in our main character. Even though he is supposed to be such a good fighter he never uses any of those skills after he gets his power. In fact the only thing he EVER does is an air slash. It's the only attack he knows or uses and besides the rare occasion that he uses the wind to cushion a fall or guard it's the only tim…

"Tokyo Underground" is your typical mindless superpower action flick. A boy skilled at fighting encounters a mysterious girl one fine day. One thing leads to another; he soon discovers his inner superpowers, and ends up trying to protect the girl from the army of bad guys who wants her for their own evil purposes. Sounds pretty generic right? There can't possibly be much originality in this show, right? Right. There really isn't anything special going on here.
The animation and action are bog standard, with everyone's superpower being elemental in nature; there's nothing that's not been seen many times before. Likewise, the sound and the voice acting are also nothing out of the ordinary. The plot is fairly predictable and I have a feeling that the ending is pretty bad, even though I can't…

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 ver…

I enjoyed this series but lets face the reality this has already done before, and better so don't expect much, this is an average story about the adventure of a more or less average boy pushed forward by his feelings (I'm talking about love) to fight against all the obstacles.
Actually the story isn't so bad but I get the feeling I've saw the same things happend to a boy inside the cockpit of a huge robot, welding a sword or following a dangerous path seeking revenge.
Sound effects didn't grab my attention, and some parts of the plot aren't very convincing. May be the worst part are the supporting caracters because they are too swallow with many cliches.
So go ahead and spend good time; there is a small dose of humor, cuteness, courage, despair as the main character grows stronger, and…
