Something evil is stirring in the shadows of Tokyo...

During the spring of his senior year in high school, quiet Tatsuma Hiyuu transfers to Magami Academy in Shinjuku. The mysterious boy's "outsider" status and his profound skills in martial arts quickly earn him the friendship of class delinquent Kyouichi Houraiji. Through an uncanny connection and a happenstance challenge, he also meets Yuuya Daigo of the wrestling club, the captain of the girls' archery club, Komaki Sakurai, and Aoi Misato, the Student Council President.

During their encounter, there is a sudden, harsh disruption of the Ryumyaku (literally Dragon Pulse, otherwise known as Dragon Vein or Dragon Stream), the flow of arcane energy. The surge awakens within the five teenagers a latent power, giving them each a supernatural ability. Enlightened to their newly acquired gifts by Hisui, the young heir of the Kisaragi Clan who maintains his family's antiques shop - as well as their duty to protect Tokyo from Oni (demons) - the Magami students decide to use their power to protect the city from the onslaught of dark forces.

Battling the demons alongside Hisui Kisaragi, the five unlikely friends discover that they may have to face a greater threat to Tokyo other than destroying a few malevolent, random monsters. The Ryumyaku had been disrupted by force, from someone invoking the Dark Arts - and that person has a wicked desire to unleash a long-dead evil.

Can the teenagers overcome their own fears and flaws to fight against the Dark Arts? And soon they will also have to face their own destinies as they discover their Stars of Fate.

This anime is based on a manga, which was based on the Nintendo role-playing video game originally released in 1998.

Season(s): 2
Episode(s): 14 (1st Season), 12 (2nd Season)

Currently watching it since I saw it in a "Top X Martial Art Anime" video on YouTube and it looked decent. It's old (2007), so it's kind of hard to put up with it since I prefer "new gen" Anime, but it have potential, so I'm giving it a go (at least for the 1st season).

I have no idea where i left off in it; probably never finished the first season; i know i tried and gave up on the first or second episode multiple times; the last time i tried i got a lot farther; probably more than halfway though the first season; just ended up busy watching other shows.

It's pretty decent, just can get a tedious feeling at times. Not horrible though; i prefered tokyo ravens; even though their almost entirely different genres; almost same name that's why i always seem to compare the two.

I'll probably try to pick it up one day when i get a chance but atm my list is a disarray with like 20-30 ongoing; and 45 series on hold; and a few dropped and like 285 completed.

It's so hard to watch old anime, even if it's good I just can't deal with the aspect ratio.

DUDE THIS SHOW IS FROM 2007

Really not that old tbh, widescreen was already being used by anime.

True almost all anime can be found in 720-1080p even if it was from like 1970s; it wouldn't be true 1080p but i mean it'd solve your aspect ratio issue.

Such as series like the original gundam etc.

if a series is old as fuck and doesn't have an actual HD release people will upscale it. You almost never have to deal with a shitty aspect ratio that won't fit your tv

Most anime after 2004 are made available in full aspect ratio......

seems like a good show.

The thing is, most of those older shows you see that get an HD re-release are upscaled to 1080p with postprocessing effects (not that that's a bad thing), unless they have the original cels and are truly remastered. Anime that get remastered really never get their aspect ratio changed, because they were drawn and shot in the square 4:3 aspect, not widescreen.
