Asura Cryin' is a Japanese animation series that follows the story of two high school students, Tomoharu Natsume and his classmate Misao Minakami. They become friends after an unusual encounter with a mysterious girl, Takatsuki Kanade, who transfers to their school. Throughout the series, they get involved in an ancient war between powerful supernatural forces, who seek the power of sacred texts known as Asura Machina, and end up discovering hidden secrets about their own past.

The first episode of the series, Asura Cryin' season 1, is named "Asura Machina." The episode introduces the two main characters, Tomoharu and Misao, who are attending school on a typical day. Tomoharu's past is somewhat mysterious, as he was orphaned and raised by his elder sister, who keeps a strict watch over him. Misao is a cheerful girl who shares a class with Tomoharu.

The story picks up when Tomoharu receives a suitcase from his elder sister, who left it for him before she passed away. The suitcase, which contains a small cube-like object, seems to have caught the attention of a group of people dressed like soldiers. They ambush Tomoharu and Misao, forcing them to run for their lives.

While fleeing, curiosity gets the best of Tomoharu, and he examines the cube. Suddenly, a strange spirit-like being emerges from the cube, revealing it to be an Asura Machina. The spirit introduces herself as a "Raimei," a powerful protector of Asura Machina. She explains to Tomoharu that he is the rightful owner of the Asura Machina and must keep it safe from the enemy, who is after its power.

Tomoharu and Misao manage to escape the soldiers' grasp, but not before Misao is injured. They seek refuge in an abandoned building, where Tomoharu has a conversation with the Raimei. She advises him to team up with his trusted friends to keep the Asura Machina safe from the enemy's hands.

Tomoharu realizes that he must rely on his friends for help, and decides to introduce Kanade, who he met earlier in the day, into the situation. She reveals that she has been involved with the Asura Machina before and has secretly been keeping an eye on Tomoharu. Kanade is a skilled fighter, who carries a sword-like weapon, and has the ability to communicate with spirits.

Together, the newly formed team sets off to try and discover the enemy's plan. Along the way, they encounter more spirit-like beings and the enemy force. Tomoharu and his team must use all of their collective strengths and knowledge to defend the Asura Machina.

Overall, Asura Cryin' season 1 episode 1, "Asura Machina," is an action-packed introduction to the series. It lays the groundwork for the story's fundamental elements, such as the Asura Machina and the supernatural forces who are after it. The episode also introduces key characters and their motivations, which will shape the future of the show.
