Does anybody remember this show? Or the Adult Swim block it was on? Kikaider, Cyborg 009, Cowboy Bebop, was Inuyasha still on the block? Was Blue Gender before or after it (I think before?).

It was weird, the intro movie is candid, say's "No one has power's!" and it's tagline is "" if it has one! It had a story? Moved? Was straightline? Like all of the AS shows! Nihilistic!

What was about it? Do you remember? What was the heroes name? I remember Straight Cougar, the little female lead being a common trope character, like in that OAV on TechTV that was like, dark scythe cool! I draw it all the time, it's sceneful! Whatever it's name was!


Was your clique AS/TechTV? Did you even know TechTV had anime!? Wow! Saiyuki: Journey West and Vandread were on it! As well as... Was Crest/Banner of the Stars on TT or AS? Weird!

Anyway, hello! What do you remember about S-cry-ed?

Crest of the Stars was on TechTV and I'm still stunned they ever bothered putting it on TV because the English dub is one of those things that is so bad I wondered how it even got made

How the gently caress DO you say S-cry-ed

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Don't they say the name of the show every single eyecatch? That's still stuck in my head after all these years. There are two main characters, red punch-guy and blue slash-guy. I always kinda felt like punch-guy got the rawer deal.

The teacher in Oregairu made a S-cry-ed reference in episode 1 which I got and laughed at.

Edit: Is punch-guy's name... Kazuma? Something like that.

Only thing I remember about the show is the final episode where the MC and his rival just decide, "gently caress it, I just gotta beat the poo poo out of you," and they do. It's a fun fight!

It was Kazuma! He ain't gonna kiryu, he's in Highschool and we won't google that! Straight Cougar is a 14 year old who just got a car! He ain't Takuya, nor a vampire, nor does he have any special powers bro! What give's!?

But the rest are forgotten! What was that TechTV OVA? It had the loli type character little girl old woman mainstream physic who wasn't empowered like orange kid here! Ran from Texhnolyze had powers, she could grow Raffia! And Soul Hunter was all about powers but WAS this character! weird


who else thinks they wanna go make games when they see s-CRY-ed (it's ess-CRY-edd)

like ey lowtax gonna die make a scene! ess for S! cry for CRY! like Becko said! and ed like special ed!

I tried but I just wanna make games about it! It's not immersive anymore!

SRPG

Kazuma - Whackemoff Battler!
Role: Slayer!

So, the game is a turn-based RPG! With skills that pop up in bubbles! Tap them to execute! Then you have 3 generally like
Attack!
Say a Phrase!
Retreat!

The character's move themselves, it's iOS and Retreat! causes them to move back a space! They'll move forward, say a phrase and unlock the Battle Action Menu! It's so good!

IIRC they cut that out of the dub? They say the whole scyed thing a few times in the show but I can't recall the dub ever actually saying it. Maybe I'm wrong, it's been a while.

It was a fun show though, I think my favorite episode is still the stupid one where they use that one guy's power to try and write a script that had the main character joining the government agency and becoming best friends with his rival.

The manga's plot is also nothing like the anime's and was an adaptation of the anime IIRC. It goes insane after a certain point.

Yeah, it was a cynical cash-in on a popular anime that no one paid attention to so it went off the rails.

This anime gets my eternal respect for ending the main story 2 episodes early so we could spend the remainder focusing on what everyone REALLY wanted to see, Kazuma and Ryuho beating the crap out of each other.

Also Kazuma definitely won.

I was a sucker and got the manga. They introduced a brother to the main character who worked for the bad guys because why the hell not?

There was also good character who's special attack was summoning a bunch guns; the special attack was called Golan Heights :(

For a small sample;

The old man antagonist, Martin Zigmar or however that was spelled reveals that, actually, that was all a lie and actually he's...


And also remember that weird living alter crystal guy? That's actually his alter.
