Tekken: Bloodline

As a Tekken Fan, I appreciate this anime. At least a good anime adaptation of Tekken 3 and got more backstory with Jin and Jun plus the training between Jin and Heihachi. Also, those complaining about the animation being trash, it is ok since I am use to games having these kind of animation. The fights were cool to see especially when you see moves that the characters actually perform in the game. The ending was a bit rushed, but overall I liked it a lot. Maybe 6 episodes was too short. What I really want was the English x Japanese anime adaptation of Tekken. ... I want to see the English spekaing characters actually speak english and the Japanese speaking characters speak Japanese. It wouldn't make sense for them to understand each but that is how the game characters interact in the game. I didn't mind the CGI at all. The msuic bgm was good as well especially during the training scenes.I did mind some of the changes here and there, but it wasn't bothersome. I am glad the anime adaption was based on Tekken 3. I am a Tekken fan who is deeply more into the actual story than actually playing it. That is why I love Tekken as a whole. Overall I give this anime a 7/10.

Hopefully the curse of the video games adaptations are gone, castlevania and sonic showed the potential and now tekken joined the roster of good adaptation, it's not perfect by any means but it's enjoyable for average audience and one hell of o good time for the fans of the video game, every single move comes out of the game , every punch and every kick is like a love letter to the fans and it shows the creators cared about it. the story presented nicely and characters are great but it has some problems, for example the music is the most generic ost that I ... have ever heard and this is the same franchise that gave us classics like moonlit wilderness and anger of god, and another problem which is really pity and it's on me is the character design, the animation is great and unlike many people I didn't mind the triangle shadows at all but why characters like julia or xiaoyu are wearing their tekken 7 outfits?? and what's up with leroy showing up in the story and get nerfed both here and in the new patch of the game ? this are nitpicking but they really got on my mind, but hey it was some good ass tekken even though it ended out of no where and left me unsatisfied but wanting more in the future.

p.s: I really wanted to see Paul kicking a grizzly bear's ass but they skip over it , 0/10 garbage show.

It was great!

Hey, if you haven't played Tekken - I don't think this is for you. 6 episodes doesn't give them the time to build characters. Its more like: "hey, its Paul Phoenix! Oh hell yeah, Xiaoyu in her schoolgirl outfit! wow, they animated King's giant swing!". If you are a Tekken fan, you will love seeing all your favorite characters and moves brought to life.

The story is bad only in the sense that the Tekken story is bad, lol. Fighting games have dumb stories. I think they executed everything really well and made it seem less cheesy than I would have expected.

Where it really ... stands out is the animation. And not in a way that is necessarily easy to explain. Its not incredible and breathtaking like Jujutsu or Demon Slayer. I would describe it as "unintrusive". It is the least intrusive use of 3D modeling I've seen in anime - which, if you watch a lot of anime, is actually a pretty monumentous breakthrough. Almost all 3D in anime is hideous beyond reason and sticks out like a sore thumb. People hold up Beastars and Studio Orange as the benchmark in the industry - and I would agree, but only in the sense that they are the least worst at it. Plus, Beastars benefits from being entirely 3D, which makes the animation much less intrusive and noticeable. Tekken uses lots of 3D, but quite a bit of traditional animation as well.

In short, I think its a great watch if your a Tekken fan, and a great watch if your an animation and fight scene fan. If you don't play Tekken... play Tekken! Its great! Then watch this anime after.

It doesn't matter what age you are, as long you don't have Alzheimer's you'll probably know the action packed, long late nights with friends, full of adrenaline game that is called TEKKEN. TEKKEN had a gameplay which made every child dream to have an abnormal power into a reality. It was so much fun just to jump between characters and try everyone. To conclude things TEKKEN have a special place in every gamer heart in some way or another.

Years later Japan made us a favor and created an anime adaptaion for this game masterpiece. Like every other person in the world I got excited and ... started watching it and let me tell you that the plot is garbage, there is no way to get sentimental with the characters because they are not intresting at all and everything just fell so dull and boring and that is EXACTLY how an anime that based on a fighting videogame should be about! I was so happy that they didn't mixed things up with shitty plot and shitty excuses just to get viewers.

Most of the anime is just about stupid reasons on how 2 persons began to fight each other and that's it, I dont need more of it. I came to watch an anime which is based on a fighting videogame so don't ruin it and just give the fighting scenes and that is what TEKKEN delivers perfectly.

I'll add another good word and say that the choreography of this anime is perfectly synced with the Videgames combos and that is very admirable to see how the animators gave thought to this detail.

Overall, the anime is boring and not something mindblowing if your'e looking for a deep plot and to cry under your pillow but it delivers exactly what a show based on a fighting videogame supposed to deliver and that is what so fun about this anime.

Have a nice evening, if someone's looking for me, I'll probobably be at my room playing TEKKEN
