and how long did it take you to recycle through the manga or google
TenTen to get that summary? in my opinion... it's highly doubtful that you remember that much detail... sorry.. but you gotta admit... it's very dubious... Quote:
attitude when their own opinion holds no validity either... oh and me? i never disregarded anyone's opinion... i stated my own... people aske dme why i said it they didnt like it... i didnt try to enforce upon anyone my opinion

I did not tell you to conform. You are welcome to hate Tenjou Tenge all you want. You can state your hate for it. But there was no need to keep replying to each and everyone's post with "I hate Tenjou Tenge" or such. You could have said it all in one post and left it for all to view neh? Regarding whether there is a story or not from my brain... Spoiler for Tenjou Tenge's Manga Story:
Yeah pardon my bad recollection (since I may have left something out or recollected it wrongly)... but I think pretty much there is a story there (and no I did not read Shinova's post while posting this nor Google nor what, just a Japanese-English dictionary to translate what I remember of their Kanji names).

what was going on in the story... im the one who asked for what else besides the action and fanservice is there to this story... what shinova gave was a summary not an explanation or a reason... and even if they were given to me... that doesnt prove me wrong... it just provides me with your reasoning Quote:
all i did was state my opinion on the anime/manga... i was asked why i though that way and i answered... did you expect the entire thread to just be all positive about the anime? whether i came here to get my opinions approved of or not, i can say exactly the same thing at you again, you don't want people like me to come in here and state an opinion different than your own... if there weren't any dissenting views on the anime then it would make this a very biased thread in favor of it... when it's been agreed that it will not appeal to everyone

I noticed how long it took you to actually answer my question which means you most likely went back into the manga to come up with this summary. I know and you know you didn't remember all of this. Quote:
complexity of the story = Terrible story relationships between the characters = sex, sex, and more sex exellent art = the only good thing in the manga Quote:

Well, I watched the opening and closing of the first episode. (I make it a rule to watch at least part of whatever show I bash hehehe.) The opening wasn't bad but I really hate most Japanese rap, so I didn't like the song. It fits the series more than most J-pop songs would though. The animation in the opening was nice with the rundown of the characters (but they left out some major ones!), the manga panels, and the breakdance scene. Why were the names in Western style and not Japanese? Hmm... The closing credits were bland. But yeah, its funny how almost ALL the names are Korean. Was any of Tenten made in Japan?! Hmm, didn't Geneon license Ikkitousen and now Tenten both? Looks like they're trying to steal the title of fanservice king from ADV hehe. They better release Ikkitousen first, or it'll look like crap in comparison. Or maybe they should release Tenten, get people addicted to fanservice'n'fightin, then feed them Ikkitousen because they're desperate for anything more before the withdrawal symptons kick in. |

Heh hopefully the anime will be as good as the manga. I strongly disagree with the opinion that this series is all about fanservice. One of the things I love about this series is the depth of characters. Shin with his struggle to find himself, Mitsuomi with his reliance on power and warped ideal of order, Maya with her conflict of love, hate and guilt toward Mitsuomi, Souichiro with his fight or die ideal, Aya, Masataka, and Bob each caught in their own conflict of loyalty, desire and a sense of inferiority. Heck, most of the 'villains' in this manga make you feel sympathetic toward them on some levels.

Tenjo Tenge is about fanservice? That's wierd, I never thought about it that way. I mean I hate that type of fanservice in anime, that's why I didn't like Ikkitousen, it was all about fanservice in almost every other frame. Tenjo Tenge seems like to have it on the side, like "Here's the major points... Oh! And heres some fanservice for ya." and that's why I like it.
And I like its simple story, if every anime was as deep as Evangelion or Perfect Blue, even Naruto, I'd stop watching anime all together. Nothing wrong with variety, and nothing wrong with a good ole' fashion bullrun story, like Tenjo Tenge. The way I found the manga/anime was through a friend of mine, he's like "Man you gotta check this shit out, the way d00d draws is too bomb." And I was hooked, I love the way he draws, I love the fighting scenes, and I love the character designs, so that's why I keep watching/reading it. Btw, its about damn time there was an actual black guy as one of the main characters, and not some dark colored asian, with a bad afro. |

Tenjou Tenge
I just saw the first episode and I really like it ^_^ since I am really addicted to the manga and they did't change a lot of thing in the Anime I just hope it's not gonna be like Ikkitousen. I really like the opening, it's quite orginal. What do you guys think?

What I meant was that the story of TT doesn't have a clear and coherent storyline that's structured in the conventional way. The plot is practically comprised of interconnecting layers of sidestories that make up what TT is all about. That's why I said, "it just is." In fact, some readers were confused with regard to who the main character really is. Some characters are arguably at least as prominent as the protagonist. It may not also go anywhere really significant in the end. For all we know, it could probably just end in having won the last battle and that's it, but no way is the plot totally worthless. I guess you can compare this to, let's say the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon--wherein you have interrelated stories placed along with another to form the basic plot. In this movie, you have a love story, a story of revenge, some drama, martial art philosophy and action--all the while the movie seeks to attain an adventurous vibe by having a broad range in setting. (the city, mountains, desert, etc.) Can you then tell me where the climax of the story is? From where does it really begin and where does it really end in relation to the main conflict? More importantly, can you trace the rising action and the falling action of the plot? And what is the main conflict of the movie anyway? I think it's almost the same for Tenjo Tenge. I'm not saying both are absolutely comparable to one another. TT isn't even remotely as 'deep' as this movie. It's from a manga and I'm also aware that this is being made purely for entertainment--fanservice and all. (In fact, it's on a 'lower level' compared to a movie which has won a few awards.) But I feel the stories of both share a certain manner of showing the way things are. There is a story, and it does have a plot that actually goes somewhere. The story and character development may be messy and badly written for some, but saying that there's no sense in the story at all is just too much. They're there, but not everybody will like the way they're presented. With regard to stereotypes on the other hand...hmmm. I don't think there are that many so far. On another note, I think I'm also stretching the comparison a bit too far. Heh, I don't think I'm making much sense anymore. This is just my opinion on this matter. Quote:
