Hello bullitbaby here to help you understand the only reason ANYONE watched this anime. We loved the fighting games of yore.
The end.
On a rather sadistic note, i must say i began doing things during the movie like keeping track on paoer the number of times the dialog didnt match the mouth movements. Someone said, hey just make the mouth move, noone watches peoples mouths.
Noone but ME muuuhhahahah. Anyway, i lost count around 791 times.
This anime also has another weird thing to count on paper.
The number of times that the animation chracters eyes move in a strange unnatural way.
Whats unnatural. Im not sure how to descibe it. Just waste your life watching this for 20 min if you can stand it and somewhere in there youll catch the eyes for instance looking at nothing while still ta…

The Tekken franchise is amongst the most famous and entertaining martial fighting videogames but when it comes to stories, they plain suck. Most characters have a backdrop story alright but it is usually simple or doesn’t really head anywhere. Along the years it has also received three movie adaptations (so far) in an attempt to please the fans. One was a low budget production from 1998, which is considered to be one of the worst adaptations of all time because studio DEEN made it. In 2010 there was also a live action adaptation by dear old Hollywood and it is also considered bad for its very loose relation to the actual storyline, as well as the complete lack of characterization. Meaning, the characters all looked like pitiful frail gays instead of super GAR awesome ultra powerful martial…

Everyone in the cross section between the fandoms of Tekken and anime probably knows of the legendary turd that is the "Tekken" anime. If they don't, chances are they spent a lot of money in therapy to suppress the terrible memory.
Over a decade later, Bandai Namco probably figured that to leave "Tekken" as the sole anime representation of the franchise is akin to leaving a shit stain smeared across the company logo, so they decided clean things up by green lighting "Tekken: Blood Vengeance". This time, you know they mean business, cos it involves people who actually worked on the Tekken games: the studio that produced some of the cut scene animation, and even the head honcho of the Tekken games himself, Katsuhiro Harada.
I'll be honest: "Tekken: Blood Vengeance" is not a great movie; i…

Don't watch it for the story, watch it for the Tekken aesthetic.
If you are not a Tekken fan, this film will not be worth a watch or even a glance. For a true Tekken fan this is perfection.
This is by no means a masterpiece. I came in expecting to see the wacky world of Tekken come to life. I was treated with an amazing cast of spot-on characters, exciting fights and a non-sensical plotline. This to me is the heart of Tekken.
It felt like I was watching a long Tekken cinematic. As a big fan of the cinematics found in the game, this delivered on everything I wanted to see: Cute girls, comical animals and a non-sensical three-way blood feud between family.

For me the Story, was fairly good but only if you've played a Tekken game or know about the Tekken universe. The Art and Sound, were honestly on life level, every scene was on par and each conversation, action scene and each combo was pretty swae. The warm up fight between Xiaoyu and Alisa really preped me for the fight between Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Heihachi Mishima. Now that was hectic, the fighting scene though really pumped me, every punch was like a f*#k you, power behind those punches. Great movie, and the Orchestra bg was magical.
The bond between Xiaoyu and Alisa showed me the nature of friendliness and under apprehension of how close connections are important. They show this through their use of camera lens techniques such as a mid shot close up. First during the scene where…

When I hear Tekken, I remember those days when I has a PS2 and mashed buttons till my fingers wore out.
This is the only reason I bothered to watch this anime.
To those who haven't played any of the games and those who have an interest in the series - don't bother watching this. If you want to know why read on.
I never had any great expectations whatsoever from this anime but I had some standards.
- Special effects
- Lots of characters from the franchise
- Good action scenes - And Identifiable moves.
None (except the first which should have been a given) were satisfactory.
I never expected any deep plot twists or even a coherent story-line and thus shall refrain from passing judgement on this aspect.
Ah, the fight scenes. I got so pumped up when the characters entered their stance…

My boyfriend downloaded this movie for me because of my own curiosity (Admittedly, I'm a Tekken fan myself). And now, this is the result of my answered curiosity..
Story? 3. The plot wasn't very well developed and at some points, you won't understand where it is going.
Art? 10. Graphics were really good. It was very clear. Animation is awesome.
Sound? 7. I think it was okay.
Characters? 6. Of course, the characters look the same as those in video games. I rated it "Good" because only few characters appeared in the movie. So don't expect that you'll see them all. **sorry, Spoiler.
Enjoyment? 7. For a Tekken fan, at some point, you'll understand what they're talking about but there will be disappointments, and for a non-Tekken fan, I think there will be a lot that you won't understand b…

Whoever composed the trailer for this film deservers some sort of award for editing, because i for one was whole-heartedly anticipating this film a great deal.
Given the sheer amount of characters and character turnover, and the fact we're now approaching the 6th generation of games, the story has been somewhat of a shambles for some time. That said they do attempt to the focus the story on a handful of cast members, with the odd cameo appearances from Tekken regulars.
Xiaoyu, Jin, Kazuya, Anna and Nina make up the main stays, joined by newcomer from the most recent game Alisa Bosconovitch.
Xiaoyu is recruited by Anna on behalf of Kazuya to investigate Shin a former class mate of Jin's. I frankly have lost track of if she's still looking for Jin as was the case at some point, but i assum…

Anybody who's into the games, like myself, knows the annoyance of the tiny personal storylines, conbined with the major plot, then ending with a cliffhanger at the conclusion of each game - which means we must wait another four or so years for another snippet of the story - a tedious cycle!
Does this movie fill in any holes...
NO!!!
If you are a fan of the Tekken video games and you hope this will do the popular series justice as an adaptation - you may be dissapointed.
If you think this movie will provide you with some anwsers the games have yet to deliver - you though wrong!
Story...
We have a bait-and-switch situation - Nina and Anna kick the film off with their (in)famous sisterly scuffles, which is easily the best fght scene of the file (IMO) and a very familar sight, however, thin…

Screw the Plot, I have ACTION!!
or, so i'd like to say. but unfortunately, this one wasn't that good.
Story 3/10
It's basically about two fathers and two sons who all go hunting... for power, and people get caught in between. yeah, a really unique plot, i must say. but aside from that, how it was told in this movie was pretty bad. there are no plot holes, because it's a pretty simple plot... though a big problem it suffers is people suddenly recovering or powering up because it's convenient to the plot. In other words, [Ending Fatigue]
EDIT: eh, seems like there ARE plot holes here. i just didn't catch them because of the sheer incomprehensability of the story.
Art 7/10
Well to summarize, it's got:
Pretty Girls and Pretty Boys. Nina and Xiaoyu stand out for the girls.
[She's Got L…

This is my first review, so please, bear with me if I do something wrong.
Introduction: I’ll try to write this review from points of view of both, Tekken fans and people that barely heard of it. There isn’t much of a story summary on MyAnimeList right now, so I’ll write something short. For people that know Tekken, they need only to know that the infamous grandfather, father, son trio is at it once again. For others, keep reading.
Summary: The main character is Ling Xiaoyu (side character in games) who is given a mission from G-Corp to spy on a certain guy called Shin Kamiya. They first meet when he tries to jump of a building and is saved by her. Soon after, she meets a strange girl, Alisa, who claims to have a crush on Shin. It all seemed like an easygoing, slice-of-life I’d never watc…

Greetings, commoners. It is I, Emilie De Rochefort the Great. Due to the informal situation, you may call me Lili.
As many of you have no doubt noticed, Namco made the very questionable decision to omit me from the CGI feature "Tekken: Blood Vengeance". Instead, they offered me to watch and review it for this particular website, an offer I graciously accepted.
Now, many (or all) of you may find my omission from this movie to be highly alarming. After all, I am the main character of the Tekken franchise, and the entire plot revolves around me and my exciting exploits. But I suppose that some fans of the series would enjoy seeing the side characters get 93 minutes in the limelight.
Now, without further ado, let us get to the bottom of things. Sebastian, bring our guests some chairs. We'll b…

Ah... where to begin? The nonsensical plot? The horrendous dialog? The non-existent character development? If it weren't for the gorgeous 3D visuals of the movie it would be a complete and utter failure.
Harada and Sato's mission to create an accessible and enjoyable Tekken film for non-Tekken fan falls flat on its face. Only someone with a flawless understanding of the Tekken lore could understand how this movie makes sense. With only a passing knowledge of the Tekken story line, it's very difficult to understand where this fits and why it was necessary.
The story of two rival corporations, G-Corp run by Kazuya and Mishima Zaibatsu run by Jin, both vying to control the M-Gene makes absolutely no sense. Their reason for hunting for this mutation is never clearly explained and by the en…
