Story in a nutshell (no spoilers):


The Lost Ground: A small independent state off the coast of the Mainland (Japan apparently), it is a small island with a mountainous region which is surrounded by a giant forest.
Twenty two years ago a disaster occurred at the Lost Ground which devastated the landscape. Since then, there have been reports of people born here with a unique ability - the ability to alter the mass of one's surroundings to call out objects of mass destruction named Alters. Because of their potential to cause destruction, Alter users are considered by the mainland as a threat and must be controlled.
HOLY: A Special taskforce from the mainland created with the purpose of rounding up all native Alter users who reside in the Lost Ground and dispose of them: this taskforce consists of Ex-native Alter users.
Scyred is the story of a young man named Kazuma, a powerful Alter user who opposes HOLY and their ideals. After escaping imprisonment from HOLY, he also has a personal score to settle with them, and with one man in particular. With the help of his friend Kirishima, he defends the people of Lost Ground from invasion from HOLY as they try to capture the native Alter users.

I have all eps on CDz.. hehee :sweat2: .. ive yet to see an ep... i'm planning to start it soon.. once i finish Gravitation/Those Who Hunt Elves/Eva(2 more eps to go)/Tokyo Underground.. hehehe ...

Enjoy Review

 

... thanks for the site...

so many anime to watch :dizzy2: .. and so little time *sigh*

*alkhoon needs summer vacation badly!*

 

*weeps at the inconvenience of his country
You have too much anime to watch, and I have to wait 3 weeks and spend loads of money to see any at all. ****.
Is ait an mac an saol.

 

i DL all my anime off the inet... ... so i dont pay that much... except for Streamload..

 

Ya, but here I have to pay for all my internet phonecalls, and extra for my shitty isdn. Also, kazaa doesn't work on my (shity) pc. Which pisses me off even further. It's a damn shame, but who's to blame?

 

Kazaa isnt good... for DLing anime.. but u should check out Streamload... its the best thing that ever happened to me.. and its even cheap

 

And hence arises my next hurdle: my lack of credit card.
All the time I hear everyone saying how they've got vcds of everything, 'tis enough to drive one mad. Verily.

 

Steamload

I just had a problem with tha paying thing for Steamload. It's probably worth it though! Most of the anime out there that is downloadable is on Steamload @.@

 

yup and its always up to date ...

i usually mail in my checks to them... i dont use credit cards

 

I don't think they'd accept non-US cheques. How 'bout I just move to america and live in someone's drawer?
