If art is really important to you, then the art and animation in Tenjou Tenge is great.
The characters are all very colorful. Each having their own unique personality. In short, each character had at least a fair amount of depth.
I say anime is best when it's 12 - 24 episodes. 24 episodes is not so infrequently messed up though. It's just enough episodes to use incorrectly. Tenjou Tenge, well...doesn't complete the show in 25 episodes...
I liked the flash back. I enjoyed the story. However, they spent as much if not more time with telling how the bad guy became the bad guy...which is why we have an ova now :P
My one thing that I didn't like was that there didn't seem to be any finality to it. But there is an ova, so there you go, my complaint kinda doesn't matter
It would have been better if it would have been 35 or 45 episodes long.
But over all, it's not a bad show. I have no idea why you would give it a 1 or 3.
