For all its failings, Tokyo Underground isn't completely without charm. The characters - at least, the good guys - are an appealing bunch, the show's fairly well animated and there are some fun scenes here and there. Is there enough here to justify the outlay? For £40 (possibly as low as £30 if you buy online), probably yes, especially if you enjoy fighting anime anyway. But an essential purchase? Probably not. The show has an interesting premise and was produced by people that went on to greater things (Naruto, for a start), but the potential here isn't really exploited and the show's failings can be infuriating. At this price, though, it's worth a punt.
