Tekken: The Motion Picture

Introduction

After being thrown off a cliff as a child, Kazuya Mishima enters the King of Iron Fist Tournament to extract revenge from his father, multi-billionaire Heihachi Mishima. Meanwhile, WWWC operative Jun Kazama and Hong Kong detective Lei Wulong also enter the tournament to investigate on Heihachi's illegal activities involving cloning and genetic engineering. A handful of other skilled fighters are also in it merely to win the grand prize of $1 billion, not knowing of the true purpose of the tournament and fate that awaits them. (Source: ANN)

Thought the perfect way to get back into one of my favorite childhood games could be through this animated film. I didn't have literally any expectations. It's like an old school anime and only an hour long. But for that short time it's actually pretty solid. All the characters are shown, even though we're only focused on the Mishima family shenanigans with Kazuya and Heihachi. Also with that Kazuya has entered my list of favourite Fallen Angels alongside Eren Yeager, Paul Atreides, Anakin Skywalker, Tom Riddle. Welcome to the Circle Kazuya Mishima. Nasty ass mf Heihachi was cold with the films intro tho. THE ONLY TRUTH IS POWER. MF was a hardcore Darwinian. And i guess throwing family members off cliffs is the Mishima family tradition lol. Also shoutout to Robots protecting lil girls,…

As an anime, Tekken is passable but in a way I can appreciate: It doesn't waste your time nor overstay its welcome. You're here to see people fighting and that's exactly what it delivers as its primary focus. Even though the story isn't anything revolutionary, I have to give this ova some credit for managing to weave a proper narrative out of the original Tekken fighting games and go the extra mile to give much of the main cast some actual characterization when it comes to establishing their personalities and motivations throughout the experience. The art and sound range from average to pretty good in some parts. The characters all ring true from their videogame counterparts and some of the rock music really did elevate some of the scenes. My only disappointment here is that this anime d…

Super brief review here. I'd put off watching this for years based on the box art alone (dating myself here), but I did eventually sit down and give it a viewing. Produced in 1998 by Studio Deen, the Tekken OVAs arrived on the scene just prior to the PlayStaion port of the fantastic Tekken 3 game, and good lord does it disappoint. With its weak art, poor characterizations, stagnant animation, and a story only tangentially related to its source material, it's a travesty. Arguably the worst of the fighting game adaptations of the '90s, which is saying something since both the Art of Fighting and Samurai Showdown anime exist. Namco's 3D fighting king deserved better.

Imagine if some Chinese company wanted to cash in on the popularity of Tekken, and made a bootleg anime ripping it off. How would that anime turn out? Most likely, it would look as cheap as chips, be starved of quality action, and have characters and story that exhibit an uncanny valley quality, where they're recognisably taken from the game, but something feels off. Of course, it can't be called "Tekken" (which literally translates to "iron fist"), but probably something similar like "Sekken" (meaning "stone fist" ... or "soap" if you use the wrong kanji). Funnily enough, an atrocity like that already exists! What's more, it ain't even a bootleg - it's the official "Tekken" anime! But while it bears the official name, I'm just going to call it "Sekken", because the thought that this a…

Rate a 5 English Dubbed If you lived in the U.S. chances are you have heard the saying or one like it an eye for an eye. A perfect match up for those demanding revenge. This story is meant to show you both stand points on that matter. It is up to you to figure out which makes more sense. Story Plain, right down to the ending. A well played out story would have you riddled in some form of emotion. Logic in character's action needs a simpler play-out. Currently is too complex. Art Clear. The characters along with scenery are drawn nicely. Art matches the time period/plot. Sound-no issues. I did enjoy the music played. Songs used are ones aren't as commonly heard anymore. Character Complexing, from character design to character skills. In terms of design how does a girl with purple hair a…
