Besides the fact that it reminds me that hideous JoJo art-style sometimes… it has a solid animation and a well written plot.
The first episodes were kinda boring and I was trying so hard not to sleep while watching but later on it became enjoyable.
The main plot focus on the past of the characters in such smart way and besides having many cultured scenes it’s kinda touching…
The last episodes were kinda eh and it’s ending was vague, it probably continues in the manga.
Overall… I came here because of air gear (manga) and it has that same sprinkle of nonsense but oh..! great art. I kinda want to read the manga (mostly for the art) but yeah.

Started out quite interesting. Had alot of potential. The art is decent. the ending song is pretty nice. the opening is whacky and doesn't fit the anime but it's okay.
After a few episodes they start doing flashbacks and I was hoping to find out the characters motivations, the backstory, what a delight. well no.
The backstory just makes me hate the characters.
It's interesting in it's own way but just raises more questions than it answers. and the last episode is the most rushed episode i have ever seen ever. it made me facepalm and laugh at how ridiculous it was. Overrall it had potential but just kept getting more and more annoying as it went on
little rant coming up, for those who've watched
Maya is completely at fault for everything. why did Mitsuoni turn into a bad guy? we have…

Honestly i was kind of expecting a lot from this anime since the first 2 episodes had really epic fight scenes and what looked like room for character development. But the support characters became the main characters and the main characters became the support characters. 90% of this anime revolves around flash backs about Maya and Aya Natsumi's older brother Shin Natsumi. The fight scenes were epic i must say, story wise. No. There is no character development and for around 10+ episodes is straight flash backs which really bothered me because there was NOTHING on Souichirou Nagi and Bob, they kept getting their asses beat, no character development. And they were barely even involved in this anime.

The main character, Souchirou is not an charismatic character. So it is in my opinion the first fail. The rest of the characters are not bad in my opinion or annoying, which is something I appreciate, looks like in every anime is there at least one annoying character.
The storyline is not concluded at all, the two final chapers got me asking myself "what the fuck?!". It was so absurd that I liked it. I don't considera good ending to end a series whose most interesting part was the flashbacks -which were the part wherein the character development and emotional bonds showed up- in a random-comical way. Even though the flashbacks were interesting for me, they took too long and left a few chapters to show the path it was going to head. And that path headed nowhere.
I understand it's not a re…

To make a long story short, this anime showed incredible promise in the begining, but ultimatly fell way short of expectations. The first few episodes start down a cliched but engaging story setup but by the middle of the the series, it starts to drown in a pool of it's own complexity. The story is way too weighted down by the backstory of people who aren't the story's heroes. And don't even get me started on the fact this series is incomplete; it has no resolution whatsoever!
The story Failed.
Art was good enough.
Sound was forgetable.
Characters were interesting but had little to no growth.
The fighting and humor was enjoyable but not always.
Overall, I was left wanting...

I started this anime a few months ago and finished the series. When I first started watching I thought, "Oh this is pretty good so far." The beginning was good but when it came to the middle, it went down hill. I mean, knowing about the brother is nice and all but I didn't think it had to take so many episodes. The ending was just awful because there is no ending.
I saw that there was 2 OVA's and a movie and was hoping that it would have a decent ending. I watched the 2 OVA's and just couldn't believe that it just left you hanging. I then went and looked for the movie and come to find out, it's crap you've already seen from the anime series, movie based on just flashbacks. I didn't even bother to watch it since I pretty much know most of what happened in the past.
I can't say anything a…

What can I say about Tenjou tenge?
Positively, not a lot.
Negatively, plenty.
I had some high expectations from this anime when I started watching. I was out for a good fighting anime with some class to it.Tenjou unfortunately fell very short of the mark for numerous reasons.
The story was very average as were the characters for the following reasons :
The reason for revenge is completely biased and stupid and you EVEN find her working together with the person she wants revenge against. WTF right? The characters apart from Bob & Bunsichi were very plain,boring,egotistical
unrational & drop dead annoying.
Sisters fighting over the most trivial thing.
The main character was one of those ***hole types, not to mention egotistical & IMO not even interesting. Basically you would be pushin…

Tenjou Tenge is yet another example of why you don't make anime based on a not-even-close-to-complete manga. The problems with series stem from the fact that it abruptly ends at the conclusion of the first arc of the manga, which is about the 8th volume. The manga is on it's 21st volume and is still going.
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…

An utter disappointment. I decided to watch this because it was good enought to be english dubbed. This is so far the worst Anime TV Series I have watched. The only thing worse is its OVA.
At the beginning this haad a lot of potential but noooooooooooooooooooo the stupid idiots decided it would be 'cool' to make it an anime full of flashbacks.
First of all at the beginning it gets the audience excited by making Nagi some sort of God or something with a whole lot of potential but then oh guess what flashback then after nearly TEN episodes of it they go back to the present time and continue then after a few more episodes oh guess what another BLOODY FLASHBACK!!!
This whole anime is about nothing but flashbacks. They should change the name of 'Heaven and Earth' to 'Flash and Back'. At leas…

Oh how the mighty has fallen...Ito Sensei. This anime would be 'Great!' if Madhouse didn't continue or forward the story line, Tenjou Tenge would have been a 'Great!' anime with some martial art kick ass animation to attract us on the first place.
Although the guro fest, and guys who has unnatural muscular body like DBZ doesn't suit my taste on manga and anime, but Tenjou Tenge does have a good story but it doesn't go to the main point. You will spend the next 16+ episode only just to see the Past Chapter. The chapter mostly revolve the older character in Tenjou Tenge, like Maya, Bunshichi, Mitsuomi, and other. It does give us a clear view on how they come and why, but why do it 18+ episode to cover up on the 26 episode. They could a least shorten the plot, make it easy to understand and…

Alright i started this anime with extremely high hopes....i dont know maybe i was just expecting too much. From what i read on the synopsis and how the first couple episodes goes, if this anime progressed more fluently it would have easily gotten a 9 or 10 from me. It starts out wit a pretty dang good storyline but it then just about stops everything just to show past events. I mean don't get me wrong a background ep here or there is great but when they take more then half the season for flashback episodes it got really annoying. Then they never really show the main character progress. It just spurt from one point of power to the next. It had all the good makings for a superb anime but it fell way short of my expectations at the end

The main thing this Anime is about; is Martial Arts. I mean, the story takes place in a Martial Arts school, what else to expect?
Well, a bit more then just Martial Arts. The Anime brings something a bit different than Martial Arts; as the main character: Nagi, isn't a Martial Artist. He uses the style of street fighting; simply hitting without any techniques to it.
The description of this Anime is what attracted me the most. I wanted to see great action scenes, which were to be animated greatly. But what did I get, was it what I wanted, was it a bullseye?
The Anime itself consisted out a reasonable amount of fighting scenes. However, most scenes were bluffing, talking and fan-service.
Not to mention that all the girls are drawn in a busty way. They are all pretty busty; but hey, you…

This was a great anime. It didn't have the most sensational storyline, or character development, but overall it was an enjoyable anime to watch, and that's what matters. There were a couple supporting characters that I would have liked to see more of. Some of the main characters needed more background and insight on as well. However, it has a compelling storyline, great music, funny comedy, and some awesome fight scenes. I recommend it to anyone who likes "powered up" fighting anime.

Okay this is my review of Tenjou Tenge. Let me start off by saying that I came into this series with exceptionally low expectations, I mean I was expecting turd quality stuff based off of the reviews I read so I thought maybe I don’t need to review this…I WAS SO WRONG! This series can’t even be called turd quality this is the equivalent of a girl going to her high school prom and getting maiimed by a highschool mascot/lion. This series is the epitome of absolute failure in both execution and satisfaction.
Story- If this series had stuck with something and went with it would have been great, had it a logical ending it could’ve been good, and had it focused on the main characters of the story it would’ve been excellent but it didn’t and in place left a stinky pile of dissatisfaction, disapp…

Uff, the first chapters were some kind of fun, lot of panties and big tits, and of course the fight, two delincuents trying to kick everyone ass, but then it got suddenly boring....two many tits every girl had like porn tits, and then everygirl was showing their panties....WTF....the japanese people had the weirdest porn dreams about schoolgirls showing their white panties.
The story is absoluty stupid, i dont get it why they fight, why they kill or why after several years keep fighting.....they dont have a reasoneable IDEA of why ! The just fight, because that is all they do. just fight. for what? to fight. to be stronger.
for what? to fight....
The character sometimes is cool, but after all the panties and tities you just start to loose interest...there is one but it is a poor imitatio…

Let's start with this shows biggest problem. A flashback is one episode MAX! Not a entire arc. The writers could have just started the story in the past and jumped to the future or made the past chapters a movie or ova, but instead two massive flahsbacks, two really two? I felt this show had cool characters and cool fighting, but if that's all a show has then it's a bad show. The one thing I liked was that the main character got his ass kicked a lot that was amusing. Perhaps that's why I kept watching. So if you like a show that takes large ventures into the past and doesn't really take feelings or proper motivation into consideration then watch this show, and if you want to watch a show where people run around spouting move names like they didn't punch the other guys ears so hard he can n…

Note: I saw all 24 episodes including the 2 episode (OAV).
I feel I must redeem this anime from its horrible reviews. First off, I did not read the manga, so I can't comment on that, but for the most part this anime was really good. The story to me was relatively coherent and intriguing. The authors did a great job in intertwining all the main characters into the main plot giving each character a pretty good background story. The first episode in my opinion is just what I needed to really get me fired up. It was exciting and the fight scenes were well done. The art was exaggerated but who cares they weren’t to the point of being hentai and it brought some uniqueness to the series. And I don’t think the anime would have worked well without the exaggerated breasts and curvy wais…

The beginning of this series was good up to the point where it showed nothing but constant flash backs. This left no time to further advance the plot thoroughly. Instead after the flash backs they used the remaining 2 - 3 episodes to summarize the plot of the story. If this anime series was around 50 episodes it could have been good. I honestly would rather drink a bottle of iodine filled with glass shards than watch this crappy ass anime again.
P.S.: For those who are interested you should check out the manga. i hear from several people that it was way better than this pile of crap!

Tenjou Tenge a typical shounen anime that takes all the concepts that worked well in other shounen anime and puts it into a High School setting. Tenjo Tenge is basically about two delinquent boys; Souichiro and Bob who enter a school hoping to take it over, like their previous schools but problems occur and then the story turns into a quest to become stronger. Even though this plot (to become stronger) is not the least bit original, the story does become very interesting when it reaches the extremely long flashback, revealing a lot about certain characters. However soon after this flashback arc the story finishes, leaving a lot of questions unanswered and half the story untold.
This isn't the only downfall of this anime. The animation quality is okay for the most part although for an anim…

What a waste of time. I picked up this anime because I had read most of the manga, and was interested in seeing the characters of the manga brought to life. However, the anime did NOT bring the manga to life... it killed it.
This anime is best left on the shelf in the store, unless all you want to see is big boobs and panty shots, because, basically, that\'s what the anime comes down to. The story and plot are all over the place and does NOT follow the manga at all. There is no resolution, and you\'re left at the end of the series with just a \"WTF??!!!??\" type of feeling.
The only thing I did like about this anime was the opening song. Other than that, it\'s not worth it. I honestly wish I could have the time back I spent watching this rubble. Read the manga... avoid the anime. That is…
