Animation - Very traditional. Almost nothing distinct about this anime. I can't exactly call it smooth, because the drawings are sometimes very jagged. However, whenever the characters are having a one-on-one conversation with another (possibly him/herself), time all of the sudden stops, the world turns grey, and a closeup of the character shows up on screen. I think this is an interesting idea, to bring up a point. This technique however, was overused.

Music - I really... really dislike the opening and closing theme. Background music is suitable, but *yawns* boring.

Storyline - Interesting for the first 2 episodes. Other than that, it has an opponent-of-the-week feeling; this is used frequently in anime such as Dragonball Z. And if you find DBZ irratating and boring, you might not like Tokyo Underground.

Characters - I will admit that this is the first anime where ALL main characters are likeable (to me, anyways). Some anime such as Ah! My Goddess! have a great storyline, but the characters are too goody-goody. The main character of TU, Rumina, is extremely comical. By overracting whenever what seems to be minor, expect some good laughs.

Overall, 7/10. I only watch for the laughs.
