While it does have some problems, like it didn't cut enough out -see episode 13 where some huge ambitions crash down and they ruin it with a cutscene of the catastrophe and 88 piece orchestra music, i mean, cut the episode 30 secs earlier to only see the guy realizing that everything he worked for come to pieces, that's enough. I really thought it lacked a lot of editing that went into more modern series, but the story was very original.
I found it amazing that they took the main character's antagonist and showed that he was actually a second protagonist by the end of the series. Along with the intrigue which is somewhat the main theme of the series, I can really feel the effort that went into the creation of the series. Also the music which varies quite a bit from big band style to electronica helps to contrast the clash of traditional values (which are Japanese) vs the newer values of the younger generation.
But i digress, the entire series is about blind ambition, the ambition of the mainland versus the ambition of people on the area of the lost ground, who basically are second class citizens of the mainland of japan. Scryed is a tragicomedy with its chief theme as ambition.
