as someone's who has read up to volume 10 of the manga...
i cant say i have much hope for this anime... the manga sure is drawn out.. and aside from the fighting, and fanservice... i dont see how this is so different from ikkitousen... well.. aside from the more crazy fantasy element

Tenjo Tenge Anime
This must be the 2nd thread I've started since I began posting here... never the less, the new Tenjo Tenge anime is out. Download it and watch it.
I personally think the animation is good... but the character design's been butchered up a bit... the music seems a bit corny but I feel it'll grow on me. All you Tenjo Tenge manga readers out there will also notice a few obvious differences. Overall, I deem this anime very watchable and I await the 2nd episode with anticipation. If you don't mind alil Fanservice(ok, alot) and enjoy action/comedy anime. Check Tenjo Tenge out, you'll be pleasently suprised. Episode 1 rating 7.5/10. |

Ikkitousen and Tenjo Tenge aren't even the same leauge. Tenjo Tenge gets WAY better, especially after Volume 5. Ikkitousen is all about the fan-service while Tenjo Tenge hooks you with the fan-service, then throws in an interesting backstory to boot. That's what got me hooked to it. Hopefully the anime won't pace itself too slow. |

I though the ending theme was cool, but that's me I guess. I do agree however that they messed up the animation, but not to bad. I am kind of disappointed that Aya is a brunette, but that's a small gripe. Just so you know though, without me being anal or anything, this anime has been licensed so it belongs in the DVD and Licensed forum. Also, I started a thread on in there, so you're welcome to add more input in there if you like. ^_^ Last edited by ACE2003; 2004-04-02 at 04:54.

Hmm....seemed just about right to me, plus how you couldn't like the backstory?! That's the most important and interesting part about the manga??? Not to mention it was action-packed and had kick-ass charactes. I won't spoil it for people whom haven't read it, but trust me, if anything the backstory helps advance the manga heavily since you learn how everything came full circle. I think you're missing the deeper meaning of the backstory, IMO. How couldn't you like it!! As for Souchiro and Bob, I didn't even recognized that they weren't there because the backstory made up for their lack of apperance in the volumes. To each his or her own I guess..... |

Anyway, Geneon USA along with Avex are the main producers of this series, so that pretty much means that its made with the American audience in mind.

Yeah I agree... For the most part the animation's pretty good... The character designs might be a bit changed but the still retain some of those funky expressions from the manga.
![]() The only thing missing is the explicit nudity... I don't think people would miss that too much (some people might though).

For those deciding whether to see if this series could be watchable, http://wgalland.hp.infoseek.co.jp has screencaps of the first episode.
But of course you should not just judge on the first episode alone... *ahh... maya & aya...* |

*Ahem* Anyway, the animation is pretty good compared to other anime, but the art isn't as good as the manga. (But the same goes for pretty much every other manga-to-anime adaptation, I can live with that.) Seriously, I am kind of of annoyed that they toned the nudity down a little, because they might do the same with the violence. Beside, the show airs in the middle of the freaking night, so what if they show some boobs? |

backstory was weak because it was too long...
that's logical... think about it... if they spend too much time on one story... it starts to drag heavily... and isnt souichiro a main character? how could he be left out of the manga for the span of two volumes? they couldnt intertupt the flashback a few times to show us what a main character was doing? the back story could have been shorter and had much more impact
