{{nihongo|'''s-CRY-ed'''|スクライド|Sukuraido}}, also known as '''s.CRY.ed''' or '''Scryed''', is a 26 episode Japanese [[anime]] TV series, produced by [[Sunrise]], directed by Gorō Taniguchi and written by Yōsuke Kuroda, which first aired in Japan on [[TV Tokyo]] and [[Animax]]. The music for the series was composed by Kōtarō Nakagawa. A [[manga]] adaptation, drawn by Yasunari Toda, was serialized in Akita Shoten's [[Weekly Shōnen Champion]]. The anime was licensed by Bandai Entertainment. Starting in 2003, Bandai released the show in North America as six individual Region 1 volumes, followed by a complete six-disc box set in November 2004. Later, the series premiered on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block on May 28, 2005, after select episodes had been aired on Adult Swim's Video On Demand service for nearly a year. On September 27, 2005, Bandai re-released ''s-CRY-ed'' under the Anime Legends banner, in three two-disc volumes, followed by the Anime Legends Complete Collection on October 24, 2006. Following the 2012 closure of Bandai Entertainment, Sunrise announced at Otakon 2013, that Sentai Filmworks has rescued ''S-CRY-ed'', along with a handful of other former BEI titles.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sentai Filmworks Adds Sacred Seven, The Big O, Kurokami, More|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-08-10/sentai-filmworks-adds-sacred-seven-big-o-kurokami-more|publisher=Anime News Network|accessdate=11 August 2013}}</ref> On April 8, 2011 Sunrise announced on the official s-CRY-ed Japanese website the series would be re-released and remastered in a two movie release comprising the entire series and promised new footage, titled "s-CRY-ed Alteration" as part of the s-CRY-ed 10th anniversary Project.<ref>http://www.s-cry-ed.net/event/index.html</ref><ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-04-08/scryed-alteration-remastering-to-add-new-footage Scryed Alteration's Remastering to Add New Footage - News - Anime News Network]</ref> ==Plot== Set several years after "The Great Uprising", a future geological phenomenon in the Kanagawa Prefecture near Tokyo, people have developed a power granting them the ability to deconstruct, reshape, and crystallize matter at a molecular level using only thought and willpower. These people have come to be known as "Alter" users. With only 1% of the newborn generations receiving such special power, though this number rises steadily as the series progresses, some feel a superiority over normal humans. There are two opposing forces of alters: the Native Alters, a group of Alter users who live outside the central city and avoid any relationships with the government; and HOLY, an organization of Alter users that are a subgroup of an organization called HOLD. HOLD functions as the Mainland government's super police force of the Lost Ground, while HOLY, composed exclusively of Alter users, serves as the "special operations" group, aiding HOLD in performing dangerous missions that might require the help of an Alter user. Kazuma (dubbed "The Treasoner" in the manga and "The Shell Bullet" in the anime) and Ryuhou are the two ''s-CRY-ed'' characters bearing a rivalry used to drive and focus the plot. They spend much of the series trying to defeat each other, even when they are forced to work together. Neither can forget their bitter rivalry. There is also a narrator, Kanami. Kanami is a close friend of Kazuma, who protects her and treats her like a little sister. She narrates the series with her dreams, unknowingly using her alter power to "scry" the emotions of the people she feels strongly about. Her ability to peer into the emotions of the main characters is used frequently throughout the series to bring insight to the characters, and to tease viewers during previews for the next episode. The series progresses through the initial introduction of the Alter power to a wider understanding of the politics and reason for "The Great Uprising". Each episode showcases a new Alter user, and his/her Alter, or a growth of the Alter of a previously introduced character. "The Great Uprising" is later revealed to be caused by a similar event in a parallel universe where all creatures are independent thinking Alters. During one of Ryuhou and Kazuma's battles, they open a gateway to the parallel universe, causing another uprising and attracting the attention of the Mainland government. The Mainland sends its agent, Kyouji Mujo, to the Lost Ground in an attempt to exploit the power of the parallel universe for economic gain. Mujo develops delusions of grandeur after becoming the defacto head of the Lost Ground government and absorbing the crystal entity from "the other side" to add to his already formidable Alter power. Both he and the crystal entity are defeated by the separate efforts of Kazuma and Ryuhou, respectively. The Mainland once again attempts to exert control over the Lost Ground by sending in a fleet of refined Alter users under their control, but they are defeated by Kazuma and Ryuhou. After defeating the Mainland forces, Kazuma and Ryuhou engage in one final battle to settle their rivalry. After exhausting themselves to the point that they are too weak to maintain their Alters (and indeed, barely able to stand), they fight on with their bare hands until neither can move. In the next scene, a silhouetted hand is raised by the victor, the hand makes the symbol of the Zetsuei and then curls into a fist the same way Kazuma does when summoning his Alter. With careful observation one can see the same alter markings that appear on Kazuma's arm throughout the series. An epilogue, taking place years later, Kazuma and Ryuhou remain the protectors of the Lost Ground, defending it from Mainland invaders. An older Kanami, who now has full control over her alter, awaits their return. ==External Links== ===Official=== * {{IMDb title|0307427|s-CRY-ed}} * {{tv.com show|s-cry-ed|s-CRY-ed}} ===Other Sources=== * {{ann|anime|842|s-CRY-ed}} * {{cite web |url=http://www.adultswim.com/shows/scryed/ |title=''s-CRY-ed'' on Adult Swim |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20071029121721/http://www.adultswim.com/shows/scryed/ |archivedate=October 29, 2007}} on Adult Swim ===Other Wikis=== ==References== <references/> {{DISPLAYTITLE:s-CRY-ed}} __NOTOC__
