Scryed takes place in an area in Japan which got separated from the main land due to an event some decades ago and because of that event, small percentage of people born there develop strange unearthly powers.
The premise is nothing new. Probably have seen similar story many times. The execution had its ups and downs. I liked the set of characters we got and how they developed and their interaction etc. They did follow typical action anime characters and were predictable at times and
some of the characters which I really liked didn't get the screen time and development that I would have liked. Also, the main rivalry in the anime between the two leads was a mixed bag. I liked certain aspects of it but it sometimes got to cheesy and predictable. Also, the lovey dovey stuff/romance was lame.
The anime had a nice blend of action and story progression with humor thrown in the mix. The action was pretty decent and the story had some interesting bits that made me look forward to seeing how it unfolds etc. There was also some politics here and there and how the main land was treating this area, especially the Alter users (people with powers) and I liked it.
Even with its quirks, I found it to be a decent anime overall. And ultimately had a fun time with it.
