This leads to issues such as half the series being a big flashback (there's a big flashback to explain everything that's going on in the the present, and the anime literally ends RIGHT after the story returns to the present), characters seeming to be bland and one dimensional because the anime ends before the story gets around to developing them(Bob and Masakata from what I've heard), and the series just ending with a crapton of unanswered questions because Oh! Great didn't right Tenjou Tenge in a way that you can just stop where the anime did.
Story: The story isn't super unique, and suffers from an abrupt ending long before the heart of the plot really gets a chance to get going.
Art: The fight scenes were entertaining and rather creative in that you couldn't just throw in two random characters and have the fight end up looking largely the same. Characters felt like they had unique skills and attributes that made combat interesting.
Character: There aren't any terribly locked in archetypes for any characters, and many do see growth and development. Sadly, this is again limited by the show ending at the first arc.
Enjoyment: The most entertainment comes from the fight scenes. Rather creative group of abilities amongst the cast, main characters can never just hammer their to victory, but need to outskill them. That, and the show can be a tad funny at times.
Overall: Don't get me, I'm not saying Tenjou Tenge is bad. I know that this isn't the first anime to be made of an incomplete manga, and it won't be the last. It's just that most anime either stop at a point where some sort of resolution has been reached for what is currently going on, or make some up of their own. Tenjou Tenge just stops one day, and... that's it. It starts interesting, got me all interested and stuff, then just up and leaves. It's a difficult anime to enjoy because of the lack of closure (or arguably even beginning).
