Why? There's so much characters, and the game has such a long franchise history. Pacing definitely feels weird, on one scene MC would be brooding over the past, then the next scene exposition on characters unrelated for example.Īt the end of the day, it is impossible to properly adapt a fighting video game story. We do get bits and pieces of glimpses of his life outside of training and they look far more interesting. I had no time to get to know him as a person or as a character, long enough for me to be invested in any of his development. Who we just got introduced to one episode ago. on training montages on top of training montages of one character. But man the dialogue and monologue just feels so stiff and slow. Not sure if other language dubs have similar experiences. Everyone speaks in a slower than average cadence for some reason. However, referring to the foundations of animations it has a long way to go before it can be considered good. The usage of 3D or 2.5D animation is improving over time, compared to what was seen in the Berserk remake days. The curse of bad adaptation of video games continue. If you are a Tekken player looking for some fun outside the game, I suggest you read the patch note of Ver 5.00, which is way better than watching this.īy the way, Netflix's translation is hopeless, I really hope they at least hire Google Translate.Īnother video game anime adaptation bites the dust. If you are not a Tekken fan but are interested in Tekken, please watch a Tekken tourney or buy a Tekken game to play. In summary, the series failed to break the spell and wasted much potential. As for the ending, I can't even feel how our protagonist has grown, and I can only say, "yes, you should choose ***** *** instead of *** because the former is stronger." Oh, maybe the story is as straightforward as the Tekken 3 story? OK, how much is 2022 minus 1996? In fact, the tournament is not valued it is only a part of the process, a necessary step to reach the end. tournament can't make people feel their blood boil at all, even if the moves of many characters are restored to the episode, and there are many familiar faces of players here. On the contrary, I don't believe the length of it is used well, which leads to the details being rushed through (how did Jin meet his friends?) and the main storyline making people feel lengthy.Īnother intuitive feeling is that the creator did not refer to other animated series with similar themes when writing the script.
I don't think the story needs to be told in more than six episodes. However, even with such mental preparation, it is an awkward, absurd viewing experience. I've never held out much hope for animations/TV series/movies based on games, especially fighting games.
