A strange environmental phenomenon 22 years ago in the Kanazawa prefecture caused the land to split and protrude upwards reaching unprecedented heights, creating the secluded area known as The Lost Ground. Kazuma is a young mercenary who lives in the Lost Ground, looking for any work he can find to sustain his livelihood within the harsh environment. He is one of the few people that are gifted with the Alter ability, which allows him to plaster his right arm and torso with a metallic alloy. When this mercenary encounters HOLY, an order whose purpose is to suppress and capture what they call Native Alter Users, and one of the elite members of HOLY, Ryuho, an epic rivalry begins.

Where it came from
Produced by the legendary studio Sunrise and directed by Goro Taniguchi, s-CRY-ed premiered in 2001 as a quintessential representative of the early 2000s shonen action genre. The series is set in a post-apocalyptic version of Japan where a localized seismic event in the Kanagawa Prefecture leads to the emergence of Alters, individuals endowed with supernatural abilities. The narrative focuses on the ideological and physical clash between the protagonist Kazuma, a stubborn loner, and Ryuho, an agent of the disciplinary organization known as HOLY.
The series was designed to showcase Sunrise's proficiency in blending high-octane superhuman combat with a grounded exploration of social stratification and personal morality. Its distinct aesthetic, characterized by sharp character designs and dynamic, color-coded energy manifestations for each Alter, became a hallmark of the show. Upon its release, it was well-received for its intense pacing and the evolving, complex relationship between its two leads, cementing its status as a cult classic within the competitive landscape of early 2000s Japanese animation.
