Editorial Review:
Twenty-two years before this 2001 sci-fi adventure opens, the Kanagawa region of Japan was devastated by a major earthquake; the "Lost Ground" suffered the most serious damage. A small percentage of the inhabitants who cling to life amid the devastation are Alter Users, whose psychic abilities enable them to create mecha forms of themselves. Hot-tempered, red-haired Kazuma is a powerful Alter who defies all authority. His obstreperous attitude brings him into conflict with Ryuho, a dedicated officer in HOLY, the special police force recruited from the Alters. They command so much power, their battle reconfigures the topography of the Lost Ground.
What sets s-CRY-ed apart from formulaic mutant good guys vs. sinister military-industrial cabal series is the relationship between Ryuho and Kazuma. Like evenly matched high school athletes, they pursue a rivalry tinged with admiration and even grudging affection. Ryuho's bond with the brilliant physician Mimori and Kazuma's almost fraternal romance with the eerily puissant Kamani can't compete with the heroes' need to establish who's the strongest, once and for all. s-CRY-ed ends not with the defeat of the screeching Kyoi Mujo and his evil plot, but weeks later, as Kazuma and Ryuho pound the wasabi out of each other, because neither one can bring himself to stop fighting. Like cagey boxers, screenwriter Yosuke Kuroda and director Goro Taniguchi feint and weave, keeping the audience slightly off-balance with their characters' unexpected actions. (Rated 13 and older: violence, mild profanity, grotesque imagery, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Rating: - manga is better but still good anime
though I watched the anime series in fansub before I read the manga is was impressed with both formats. The story differs greatly between the two formats and after reading the manga I would have to say I feel the anime was somewhat rushed. Though still good and full of mind numbing action and very good charactor development. Highly suggest to watch.
Rating:  - The contents are exciting but...
I would recommend this anime for any action anime fans. Totally, it has a lot of fightings and battlings in this anime. Generally, it is very exciting and draw my curiosity to the finale. As I refuse to expose the details, I can say I was excited while watching it. However, the finale might be a little disappointing, not about the result. It is about how it wraps up the stuff
Rating:  - Accomplished what it set out to do.
S-Cry-Ed is a barely average anime that is dead set on being a non stop action series. It makes no secret about that whatsoever. It does take a later turn in it's plot that actually helped the series and kept it from being just another beat em' up title. But for the most part, it's nothing but a beat em' up title.
The story is, there is a group of people born with a special gift. Similar to the mutants from Marvel Comics. And like them, their power is very interesting. They are called ... Read More
