Akira, the young champion of a street fighting tournament caleld BI@ster, is suddenly arrested for a crime he didn't commit. He makes a deal with a mysterious woman to get out of prison on one condition: to defeat the strongest man, the Il-Re, in a deadly game called Igura, which is taking place under the rule of a drug ring in the abandoned remains of Tokyo. This one sounds really interesting. If done correctly, I can see this becoming an awesome Shōnen type show. A bit more mature then the others, but still has cool fight scenes and power-ups.
Episode 1
The artwork is really nicely done. This episode did a fairly decent job setting up the plot of the entire show. Also showed how bored the main character is with fighting weaklings and yet still showed that he wasn't of violent nature despite him being so good at beating the crap out of people. If you like blood there was a lot at the end of this episode.
Episode 2
This episode is mostly about the introduction of a few other possibly main characters. Shows a bit more of the area and explains just a tiny bit about the dangerous game. However, it didn't go into too much detail, and I'm guessing that's going to take a few episodes. So far this anime is pretty decent.
Episode 3
Introduction of yet another character and a possible picture of the main villain. That pretty much sums up this entire episode.
Wrap Up
The storyline is well laid out. Gives enough info, so the watcher knows what's going on, while leaving enough unanswered questions to keep you watching. The animation is well done. I recommend it. It's pretty interesting even though it has less action then I thought it would. However, the story is just begining and there's a lot of room for some awesome fights.
