Tekken

English Dubbed

If you lived in the U.S. chances are you have heard the saying or one like it an eye for an eye. A perfect match up for those demanding revenge. This story is meant to show you both stand points on that matter. It is up to you to figure out which makes more sense.

Story
Plain, right down to the ending. A well played out story would have you riddled in some form of emotion. Logic in character's action needs a simpler play-out. Currently is too complex.

Art
Clear. The characters along with scenery are drawn nicely. Art matches the time period/plot.
...
Sound-no issues. I did enjoy the music played. Songs used are ones aren't as commonly heard anymore.

Character
Complexing, from character design to character skills. In terms of design how does a girl with purple hair as a child have brown as an adult. Fails at making scene. Would not care as much but that child moment is referred to a lot so why not have everything match up for an easier connection. As for skills, each character has their own special skill. While some are explained easily others still need clarification. Where did the girl get her skill from? Did it originate from the trauma event?

As an anime, Tekken is passable but in a way I can appreciate: It doesn't waste your time nor overstay its welcome. You're here to see people fighting and that's exactly what it delivers as its primary focus.

Even though the story isn't anything revolutionary, I have to give this ova some credit for managing to weave a proper narrative out of the original Tekken fighting games and go the extra mile to give much of the main cast some actual characterization when it comes to establishing their personalities and motivations throughout the experience.

The art and sound range from average to pretty good in some parts. ... The characters all ring true from their videogame counterparts and some of the rock music really did elevate some of the scenes. My only disappointment here is that this anime didn't utilize some of the more unique and diverse settings where the fights would take place in the game, as the majority of it is set on some jungle island.

This anime is definitely a product of its time, and that might make or brake it for you, but I personally had fun watching this.
