![]() I play loads of Tekken, and there was a lot of care taken when this anime was made. Certain characters were mere throwaways, and there was also the anachronistic inclusion of guys like Leroy Smith (what was the fucking point?) It would have been nice to have things develop around other characters a lot more carefully. Her movements during combat were some of the best however. Ling's inclusion also doesn't get the attention it deserves and aside from a single line about her amusement park ambitions during the awesome fight against Nina, Ling is. What was annoying was the off-screening of certain bouts, as well as the strange decision to have Jin's relationships with Ling Xiaoyu and Hwoarang form part of the training montage/time-skip. There were several liberties taken with some of the story, and the relationships between characters. This is obviously non-canon, but where it adapts major canon, it does have a tendency of either simplifying key elements or completely ignoring them. Story – Could have done way better, especially given the major characters in the cast, but if you only going for 6 episodes I guess this is the best you could do. Jun's movements were true to her character as well. Jin does a lightning screw uppercut, and spams 1,1,2 (too much). King actually initiates the Reverse Special Stretch Bomb, Arm Breaker Combo and various other moves. It wasn't perfect, but if you play a lot of Tekken, you could see and appreciate how much they incorporated several key moves from each character's moveset into their fighting. What was truly, truly enjoyable was the accuracy and fluidity of the characters' movements during the fights. ![]() The movement wasn't terrible, but the art and animation takes getting used to. and closing themes were just created to be skipped. ![]() This was just generic, nothing special, nothing stood out and the opening Tekken has a specific sound and the games, as much as they grow and change, have a certain feel to the music. ![]() You'll get to hear the majority of the Japanese-speaking characters' actual voice actors, which is a nice treat. First off, be a super weeb and watch this shit in Japanese. Look, if you like Tekken and have a fairly deep understanding of Tekken canon, you won't have the best time here, but it won't be a complete waste of your time either. ![]()
