Tenjou Tenge!

[Fuzzy_Eyebrows]

Ok, this is definitely becoming one of my favorite anime series, and I'm hoping that everyone here is as receptive.

Recently though I have run into a problem. I was unable to download ep. 19 for whatever reason, and I just got ep. 20 off www.baka-ost.net Anyway I can't watch ep 20 until i get 19. If anyone knows any non-torrent site i can get it from i would greatly appreciate it. (Bit Torrent on campus has been slow as hell thanks to administration firewalls. Isn't college great)

[Shikamaru]

Good luck finding a direct download site these days... Your best bet is to search for an FTP run by someone kind enough to give you access.

Anyway, the anime's terrible in comparison to the manga. I stopped watching the anime around episode 12 or so. Never bothered to keep up with it since then. I still check in on the manga every now and then though.

[Vaelen]

Yeah, the manga is so much better than the anime, and I can't possibly see how they are going to end the anime at 26 episodes? :|

[dzhuang]

the anime series has already ended and it stopped around chpt 45 in the manga. it was a very disappointing series compared to the what it could have been if it was based more on the manga.

[Phantasmagoria]

*has ...3 sites to it*
i'm in the process of watching it
i stopped at 14 after my puter died

but so boring with all the explanations with the whole backround of how the brother died @.@

WHAT ARE THE SITES!?!?! www.baka-ost.net has 20, but doesn't have 19 anymore, www.dbzdivx.com doesn't have 19 yet, and I'm curious as to what your other site is. please respond.

[Phantasmagoria]

Thanks, I appreciate the sites. Still no luck on 19 though...::pout:: :(

Oh well, i'll keep looking too. maybe www.dbzdivx.com will get it soon.

[FrostBead]

Can it be continued with a second season dzhuang? (since u seem to know)
How many chapters after 45 are there? (has it even ended?)
I´ll switch ( rather start from the beginning) to manga if that means getting to see the ending.

It will probably get a second season.

Evil_Genius released chapter 78 yesterday. It hasn't ended yet, no. And switch anyway. The anime sucks compared to the manga. Hell, it sucks period.

[FrostBead]

Know somewhere to dl the manga?
Or is it a major dc search project in head of me :P ?

thnx for answer btw

-EDIT- i see they started a thread in manga about this so just ignore this post.

[FireElement]

sweet (i think new) anime! you used to be able to get the old episodes from DBZ Divx but yeah.. the intro is awesome! :cool: anyone else watch it?

[Shoes]

Sure, same here! I'm just recently getting into the series from episodes 1 through 13 during Naruto downtime (waiting for the next Naruto episode of course!). All I can say is that I love the opening song to the anime, Bomb A Head, baby!

[kane_x]

I've watched the first 8 episodes, plus read 10 volumes of the manga... The anime is totally sweet and I really love Bomb a head (Must have listened it about 20-30 times in a row). It's really great, but theres just one thing that bugs me: I hate Aya's voice actor... Her voice is just so annoying...

[Kage Bunshin]

I watch it... I'm liking it... haven't seen any new eps lately... last one was like 14? not too sure

[Uchiha^Sasuke]

It's pretty nice. I love it although I've been watching it for no more than a couple of weeks. It's very addictive.

[Kage Bunshin]

Yeah... a lot of anime is! and very perverted! XD

[Vaelen]

Yean, it's a great show.. :D Not as great as the manga though.. Oh!Greats artwork just can't be copied..

[battousai]

The anime was good and then it got boring because the characters got powerful too quickly. I guess it can be good if you need something 2 watch.

[Squall_Leonhart]

TT.... RULZ!!!! i liked TT cause for an anime that has alot of fighting and action.... it actully caries a good story line.... and u get some fighting nearly every episode!!!! plus.... this is one of the only animes that the flash back isn't just boring filler....! =D

[Raikoh`]

This manga rocks too much =)

[aLkeMiSt]

This is a great anime with a great storyline, the only problem is that they're overdoing it with the fan service.

[Yuhi]

awsome anime, i´m hoping Masataka is gonna get Aya thou...

there is up to ep 20 subbed, at www.anime-station.org, (if u guys didn´t know ;) )

but do any of u guys know where to get the manga??

[aLkeMiSt]

Thanks, all the other places I've searched, either had it raw or spanish subbed.

[Yuhi]

np, had the same problem about a month ago, but then i clicked on alosts of liks and voila´. i think it´s sharingarn (sp?) who releses in spanish...

[Wave]

uh, since were talking about tenjou tenge...anyone know where i can get the OP and ED singles? (if its bittorrent, i need a site that has seeds)

[Nite]

Ep 21 subbed (http://www.anime-station.org/torrents/Tenjou_Tenge_21_%5Ba-s&shinsen%5D%5B4DB35C07%5D.avi.torrent)

this one is a really good ep =\

EDIT: wave try here

[aLkeMiSt]

Dbzdivx has direct downloads of tenjou tenge, but most of the files are corrupted

[FireElement]

all the ones i got from dbzdivx were fine

kane - yeah aya's voice is annoying and way too high pitched...

[Phet]

Anyone know when Tenjou Tenge comes out here in the states? I know its licenced by D.C Comics but I dont know when the manga comes out here. Anyone know?

[sasukesrose]

i'm totally in love with this anime! well i ignore the ecchi-ness of it haha but i just can't get enough of the fighting. if you need a site to find updates go to www.baka-updates.com they might have the manga releases on their manga site but i'm not sure teehee.

[Wave]

thanks Nite, just what i was looking for :D

[CrazyCelt]

Anyone know when Tenjou Tenge comes out here in the states? I know its licenced by D.C Comics but I dont know when the manga comes out here. Anyone know?

Not yet. We still only have the original press release from late June saying that they have it. Nothing since.

[aLkeMiSt]

WTH... licenced by DC COmics?? That was an unexpected turn...

[FrostBead]

Ep 21 out :)
http://www.anime-station.org/torrents/

-Edit- stupid me, looked at the last page and assumed I was first to post, forgive me? :rolleyes:

[CrazyCelt]

WTH... licenced by DC COmics?? That was an unexpected turn...

Yeah, it's to be part of their new CMX line. So far, TenTen is the only one I might even look at. Speaking of which, the first releases in the CMX line are this month. :confused: Wonder if I should buy something?

[aLkeMiSt]

What is CMX?

[CrazyCelt]

It's DC's title for their manga line. Probably stands for CoMiX. Sad, ne?

[FireElement]

DC..? i didn't know they licensed any manga's. or is this their first?

[aLkeMiSt]

Wow... this is a shock to me...

[CrazyCelt]

DC..? i didn't know they licensed any manga's. or is this their first?

Technically, their first licenses (note the plural) although they have had manga-ka write for their own (DC) series most noteably Batman. One shots, but still...

At last count, DC had about seven new titles.

[Kro]

damn DC, now i gotta wait for ages and ages and ages to find out wat hapens next in TT manga. And unless they make anutha season of the anime then i dont think the anime will conclude the story.

[aLkeMiSt]

DC associated with a 'fan service' anime... this is going to be quite interesting...

[Dark_Kakashi]

Tenjou Tenge is very good series
i already saw all the episode up to 24 RAW
but AonE has also subbed up to 24
you can get 19-24 by going here;
Tenjou Tenge 19 - 24 (http://bt.point-blank.cc/)

yeah they are not in a pack, they are single episodes
enjoy :)

[decapitatedKOW]

any1 know where i can get tenjou anime-station isn't working. and i have no buy so dbz divx is out. and anything else?? i need 12 + up but more the better :) if you could also pm cause i may forget about this place

[FrostBead]

I heard that TenTen anime isn´t doing so well and that they had to cut it down by two episodes. Any japs here to confirm??? if so, manga survives ???
(and here i was hoping for a season 2 *sob sob*)

[Vaelen]

I've seen 22 and 23 now.. But none of the links to 24 are working :'( Want to see the end of this. :)

[Vaelen]

Just saw 24.. A bit disappointed that they decided to end it so soon.. But the ending was well made.. Leaves it open for an (unlikely) 2nd season, and it closes it enough to end it like this. :)

[Phet]

What the heck? Just 24 episodes? Wow.....that is too soon. I wish it could have been longer but... 24? Wow O_o :( . Kinda sad. =/

[Vaelen]

Yeah, was surprised myself.. I've always thought it would be 26.. But when I saw the torrent for "[AonE]_Tenjou_Tenge_-_24_[94DD0A98][Final][1].avi" that was it.. :)

[decapitatedKOW]

any1 know where i can get episode 12 and up??? i really want to see this series

[Yuhi]

at www.anime-station.org

[decapitatedKOW]

that link doesn't work any1 else have a link

[Kro]

i wish there was more, i wanna see the rest of the manga in movement. But i nevr expected the anime to travel to the end of the manga, or to where its upto now. just like berserk

[Yuhi]

just watched ep 24 :( , and i want more......

does any1 know where to get the manga??

[Kro]

u used to b able to get it from mangatranslation.com but since DC licensed it, now they stopped doing scans and translating it... :( So i guess eitha u gotta know jap and get the manga.. Or wait for DC to slowly release english editions which will most likely b all censored with corny translations.

[Heavy_P]

The anime is horrid and is a disgrace to Oh Great!'s beautiful manga series. Plus, the anime is missing tons of bare titties.

[aLkeMiSt]

The anime is horrid and is a disgrace to Oh Great!'s beautiful manga series. Plus, the anime is missing tons of bare titties.
Lmao.. I agree, but the anime is also pretty good. I haven't read the manga (thank god), but I do know that it bares more than the anime. But the anime does also offer alot of fanservice.

[korican04]

Why did the anime change the fight with souchiro, bob mitsoumi and the exploding bike!

[aLkeMiSt]

Why did the anime change the fight with souchiro, bob mitsoumi and the exploding bike!
I have no idea, but it would have been cool if they had left it in.

[Vaelen]

Guess they needed a bit more closure than that..

[korican04]

But it was suppose to show that souchiro still needed to get stronger but he went all goku on mitsoumi and actually put up a fight!!.

[Supa Tensei]

http://bt.point-blank.cc/ for eps up to 24

[Altered]

AAAHHHHH!!! I just finished the series and I want more. Its not fair where they ended it, its just not fair. Hurry, where can I find the manga.

[DaShiouLong]

o haillllllllllll no it was only 24 episodes long?!?! there's like 2938590238509 more things in manga still!LSDGJLAKSDJG!LAKDSJGLK!
is there any word if they will continue later on?

[aLkeMiSt]

They better not leave off the anime at where it is right now. =P

[Boco]

They better not leave off the anime at where it is right now. =P
They will probably make more episodes, but there are currently only 78 chapters to the manga, and you get about 1 chapter per month, so it goes pretty slowly. Just for your information, the anime is up to chapter 48. They might wait a while to start another batch of episodes.

[Anbu_33]

i read there was going to be a second season , can anybody confirm ?

still the anime ewas pretty good , it followed the manga quite well , except for some parts , like maya and ayas fight for the reiki and some other not that important stuff , jeje , well anyways i still prefer the manga , it is really good , although i stopped reading since i couldnt get it anymore

[jodecideion]

Too all Tenjou Tenge fans there is now a fanclub for you. Come be one of the Enforcers!

[tsukyomeitachi]

anyone here watch tenjou tenge!? i think it was amazing and my favorite character was natsume shin! wat do you guys think?

[kevin77]

Yeah, Tenjou Tenge is a very good anime. The manga is better tho. Well, what i mean by better is that the anime version really rushed the ending whereas the manga continued the story. My fav character is Maya. She's is cool and smart and beautiful and....yeah she's the girl of my dreams.

[PineNamu]

where do you download this?

[jodecideion]

Welcome Tenjou fans. First let me invite you all to join the Tenjou Tenge Fan Club.
Also here is link to the boxtorrent.com They have the whole series to download.
I like the anime as while. Hot GIrls, Ass kicking, and My boy BOb. By far the cooliest black anime character ever. I never read the manga, but I been told it's alot better. Not as rushed and more raw.

here's the link

i just watched it
and i liked it alot
but it was disappionting to know
that the end was episode 24
but i was also told
that they were going to continue
with a OVA and maybe even a new season
does anybody knows if thats is true

[Lingz]

Ive seen it all
LOVE Maya Natsu!!
But on the anime...the earlier eps were very promising, but the anime headed to another direction when Maya's past were revealed, its alright..but Im a person that doesnt really like flashbacks

[EE]

I loved this show even though it was a dissapointing 24 eps. Souchiro pissed me off though

[fr33dom]

It was a great show, but it had the worst ending possible. Maya is my fav character, I hate Aya.

[DaShiouLong]

i wish they never ended this... it was very intersting... the manga is MUCH more intersting with a lil more "uncencored" action and others that i enjoyed :)
but sadly i couldnt get anymore manga either...

[angieness]

Just so you guys know, don't buy the Tenjou Tenge manga that CMX is releasing, it's heavily edited

[cupnoodles]

tenjo tenge the anime sucked like shit. the manga was pretty good though. personally i thought shin was pretty damn cool and maya is my fav. aya i want her dead jsut cuz she's so stupid and naive and annoying. it would've been better had they not tried using so much sex appeal. the girls have unneccesarily big breasts and skirts that could've been longer.

[kakashie-sensei]

i liked the skirts and breasts alot
i thought it was funny
but dopes anybody know if there are going to
be more episodes then this
i sure hope so i loved it

[Code]

Just so you guys know, don't buy the Tenjou Tenge manga that CMX is releasing, it's heavily edited
Well even the heavily edited manga would be better than the anime...

[MechaTC]

I just completed episode 24 today. The opening theme song and video was my favorite of any anime so far ^______^

Hands down my favorite character was Takayanagi Masataka. After seeing him the first time beating down Nagi I was like..."this guy is awesome." I think that Masataka and Maya were the only ones with real talent and power in the Jyuken club...I was also kinda dissapointed that Masataka was kinda downplayed over the anime since I thought he was so cool =/

I made an animated avatar of my favorite part of the opening also (you use it you DIE!!!)

http://avexmode.jp/animation/tenten/

Appearantly there's going to be a tenjou tenge movie coming out next monthy. "the Past chapter" so I'm guessing its filler... but on the 2nd page it shows Nagi in that form. Was that image in the OVA? I know his transformed but with the dragon power in his arm liek that? Or are there going to amke mro etenjou tenge?

[konti]

I found this on emule. It says that it's released subbed from dvd by a french group. Don't know if it's english subbed. Here the emule link.
ed2k://|file|[-ATF-]_Tenjou_Tenge_THE_PAST_CHAPTER_DVD_XViD_[60C92CE6].mkv|838274504|885ED512215041BCB25352DEC5E22513|/

Could not find it at torrents.
Seems to been subbed by a group called ATF. Anyone knows more about this?

[liquid_boi69]

if u look on the ANIDB.info website..u can see that the ATF is french subbed :( Damn i wish there was a english sub. Also, I read somewhere that the Past Chapter is just a summary of the flashbacks from the anime...so just repeat of shin, mitsumi and maya's history. I wish they'd make more of the anime..they're only up to like chapter like 53/ 83 chapters :(.

[konti]

Hmm, i figured that out after i did the post.
But why then this site?
http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=rel&aid=3121

Around 31 May, we will have the answer I gues.


Whell I see now. I gues it was wishfull thinking. Because it was such an awesome series. Thanks for the explenation.

[Code]

Well it's basically the past arc put into movie form you can say. About 1:30 or so. It's already out but only a french group has subbed it.

[Minitour9]

:mad Im a new fan, found eps 1-5 on aftermath anime, but cant find anymore and its pissing me off, sombody plz tell me where to find it

[konti]

:mad Im a new fan, found eps 1-5 on aftermath anime, but cant find anymore and its pissing me off, sombody plz tell me where to find it

Register at www.boxtorrents.com
You can find the series there. I'll explain in short how the series works. Because you will have that question when you'll finish the series and OVA.

First are the Series. Call it the first season. Episode 1 - 24
Then come the 2 OVA. Two episodes that start where episode 24 ended.

Then there is a movie that is the same as episode 10 to 24 but then in a short edited 1,5 hour movie. This one is released by a frech subbing group. So Japanese with french subs.

Many fans are waiting for the second season to start. If it will ever start. Because that is not certain. Really getting sad thinking about that. :crying

Hope I informed you any.

[Minitour9]

this is definatly helpful, ill try that link right now :smile-big

[Minitour9]

Problem........dont know how to find the series, and if u mean the search its coming up with nothing

[Minitour9]

& how do u view torrents?

[shadowbigboss]

They get too strong too fast

except for the guy that beated Shinn, he will pay a price for his strength, he'll die soon.

[konti]

You have to register on the site.
After you registered try the search witch Tenjou Tenge. Or just Tenge.

[Code]

Well Nagi also will pay a price if he can't control the dragon. But no, they didn't get strong too fast, the power rankings in terms of main characters has remained the same, just that Bob and Nagi aren't as far behind as they were.

[konti]

They get too strong too fast

Plus I love the serie becouse it's not your standard anime. It's really different then the start weak... then get allot of powers allong the way main character. Tenjou tenge is way different then anything I have seen this far. That why I really LOVE this anime!! :crying *Crying off joy*

[Raistlin-sama]

I whatched 8 episodes and couldn't stand anymore...
So i´m sorry to anyone who is a fan of the series, but i just found it very uninteristing...

I know 8 episodes is not much to judge an anime upon, but i had other animes i wanted to watch, and it just pained me to whatch the episodes, so...

[Pal_dekoderis]

www.boxtorrents.com you'll heve to register to downloads theres no payment so ejoy

[Dimezanime19]

What happened to the rest of the OVA's?

[konti]

They have never been released / made.

[SeruraRenge]

yea, which unfortunately made the ending suck. Too bad, this is yet another series that isn't as good as the manga.

[wr3ckless]

hey i wanted to know if anyone around here watched the tenjou tenge anime or read the manga? And if so, what were your opinions on it? I thought it was well done but my friend says its jus smut cause all the women have big breast. but me i dont ming big breast.

[Lingz]

I've seen the whole TV series and watched the 2 OVAs. Overall, fair anime with some decent fight scenes and characters, but what killed the anime was:

The Flashbacks that took place and spanned over so many episodes

OVA was extended abit, but lacked the development of continuing the story further.

[wr3ckless]

yeah that is a good point, because a lot of the episodes were flashbacks but i think they made up for it with the fight scenes. yeah and the OVA did leave you real high and dry.

[TheVileOne]

A boring, dull, and utterly pointless series.

And the manga basically is nothing but smut and fan service.

[Mindless]

I liked the anime quite alot, but as Lingz said, thoes flashbacks killed the story. The OVA was an attempt to make it better, but in my opinion, it didn't really help all that much.

It just brought up a bunch of new question marks, since the OVA takes place after the 'final battle' and ends just like that, leaving you there with your pants down, asking yourself "So... what now?".

I'd recommend reading the manga but as far as I know, there are no scanslators doing it right now. I think there is chapters scanslated up to about chapter 90. Take that with a grain of salt though. Not really sure.

But my advice, read the manga, it gives you a better view of what's really going on. :)

A boring, dull, and utterly pointless series.

And the manga basically is nothing but smut and fan service.

Well, that's OH GREAT! (the author) for you. If you've read/watched other mangas/animes they have done (Air Gear for example), you know what to expect of them. Lots of fanservice, lots of fights, lots of blood.

[TheVileOne]

As well as bad storytelling, poor characters, and pretty much everything in between.

[Kira Yamato]

I enjoyed the series, but it's heavy on flashbacks and utterly incomplete. They should have wrapped it up better :shakefist

[Feathers!]

hey i wanted to know if anyone around here watched the tenjou tenge anime or read the manga? And if so, what were your opinions on it? I thought it was well done but my friend says its jus smut cause all the women have big breast. but me i dont ming big breast.

I agree entirely that it is a decent show... your friend is just crazy.:amuse

[TheVileOne]

They plan on continuing the story with the OVA's, but whatever, they aren't worth getting into. An utterly disappointing series.

[Kira Yamato]

If and when the next OVA comes out I plan to download it, if not for the single fact that I want to see how the story concludes. My mind just won't be at peace until I find out what happens :shakefist

[TheVileOne]

You won't see the story conclude for a while I imagine, since they are based off the manga and the manga is still going.

I was just utterly revolted by the end of the series. The reason all the characters are at odds with each other is so fucking stupid and ridiculous. I don't like any of the characters and I'm not compelled about the relationships at all.

The only character I kind of like is Masataka, but the series is focused on all the characters I like the least.

[OniTasku]

I believe that peK said the manga does in fact focus a bit more on Masataka. I really would love to find somewhere to download it. I believe that Tenjo Tenge is released monthly (the manga).

[Kira Yamato]

I believe that peK said the manga does in fact focus a bit more on Masataka. I really would love to find somewhere to download it. I believe that Tenjo Tenge is released monthly (the manga).


I might just give the manga a try. The only thing that has disappointed me about the manga is the fact that it takes so long to animate an episode and release it. And after a long period after the end of episode 24, we're only treated to 2 episodes?

*sighs*

I'm hoping for something morre substantial next time around, even if it does take longer.

[TheVileOne]

The manga is alot more . . . explicit if that matters at all. There's even a rape scene with that freak and Bob's girlfriend which is kind of messed up and they glossed over in the anime.

[Chamcham Trigger]

Begining is legendary, the series is just a lot of fanservice and a story that could've been something if it wasn't restricted to only 26 episodes. You'll see what I mean when you get up to the god damn flash backs. The OVA's get me pissed off as well because it's still a cliff hanger ending.

[TheVileOne]

I don't see what's legendary about it. The flashback episodes were boring and tiresome.

[Kira Yamato]

The manga is alot more . . . explicit if that matters at all. There's even a rape scene with that freak and Bob's girlfriend which is kind of messed up and they glossed over in the anime.


Then I'm kind of glad they skipped that part, I really didn't need to see that part :S

I think what initially got me into the anime was the cheesy OP...it's really cheesy and not really good but some how it's hypnotizing and I just can't get enough od it O_o

Plus, Bob, is like virtually one of the few Black characters in an anime. I found that part really interesting, And I was curious on why they decided to have a Black character in the anime, so, in a way that also caught my interest.

[Shariyakugan]

I really liked this anime, but the end was kinda rushed.

[gnutte]

The manga is good but the anime was a little so-so since it ended at a very bad time, at least I think so.

[TheVileOne]

Bleach has a black character. His name is Tousen.

The opening Tenjou Tenge, Bomb Ahead, is probably the only thing I like about it.

[Kira Yamato]

Bleach has a black character. His name is Tousen.

The opening Tenjou Tenge, Bomb Ahead, is probably the only thing I like about it.


I was going to mention that since Tousen is my favorite charater in the Bleach game for Gamecube, but I assume everyone who watched Bleach knew that already :P


It's still kinda rare, to have a Black character on an anime...after Bleach and Tenjou tenge that aren't any I can think of...

well, that isn't the main reason why I watch Tenjou tenge...it just peeked my curiosity a bit.

[wr3ckless]

yeah the black character peaked my interest a little at the beginning, but it was like they didnt develop him enough to give me anymore interest in him. And i would read the manga too but i dont know where to get them. but what initially got me hooked was the original fight between masataka (who they also didnt give much play) and nagi

Yeah, Bob...got the shaft, and fell way into the background. I'm not totally shocked. With all those flashbacks and such, they rarely had time to develop the main character Nagi.

And the fight you were talking about was so good. Every time I show my friends that scene they automatically get hooked unto the series.

[TheVileOne]

I was somewhat interested in that fight as well...unfortunately it got me to watch more of this crappy series.

[Kira Yamato]

^rofl...it was the old bait and switch TVO :laugh

They show you a glimmer of something good in the beggining then pull the rug out from under you. XD

[TheVileOne]

Yeah, fuck those fuckers for doing that to me.

[Kira Yamato]

lol...you must have had a really bad experience with the anime. I kind of remember it fondly, although I'm a bit frustrated with the lack of direction with the story and the fact that they left me hanging for a long while....:shakefist

eerrhh..what was I saying again?

Oh, right, I really liked the anime ^_^;;

>_>

[wr3ckless]

And the fight you were talking about was so good. Every time I show my friends that scene they automatically get hooked unto the series.

Lol. thats exactly how my friend got me to start watchin the anime series.

[TheVileOne]

So since the show was so disappointing I imagine you guys stopped talking to your friends? :) .

[Kira Yamato]

So since the show was so disappointing I imagine you guys stopped talking to your friends? :) .
...not really. It's the fact that it's left open and that more episodes that might be on the way...is what keeps me from giving up on the anime. Plus I really want to see the tournament and know what happens at the end :shakefist

[wr3ckless]

yeah i really want to know what happens at the end as well. especially sincehe transforms in one of the OVA's. It jus left it as an even bigger cliff hanger. Part of me thinks that maybe they did that so people would read the manga. Part of me thinks they're just mean bastards.

[Kira Yamato]

^9 out of 10 they do that to build suspense. With the anime, I'm this close to assuming that there just lazy and really want to screw us over. I would have preferred if they waited a while and then come out with a second season rather than two OVA's ><

[TheVileOne]

I read the manga that happens afterwards. I'm still waiting to be impressed.

Bob gets a hair cut and looks less like a thug. that's the biggest highlight really.

I was sort of wondering about the tournament, but I guess that shocking revelatio will have to do for now....:laugh

[Kaki]

Yea, some joker said he whent blond...and some other stuff that was true....don't expect much more form this anime...

[Kira Yamato]

^Now, I'm really confused....and yet intrigued....

well, I definetly have to see it for myself, because tha just sounds a bit too weird.

[Wing-Zero]

I watched this series a while ago, I don't really remember a whole lot, but I did like it lol.

[Nekomimi]

The series was meh id say...I guess what killed it for me was the "flashbacks" that took up more then half the flipping series. Im sorry, but I dont really care that much about the backstory thanks. I enjoy watching the current gang alot more and not "psycho shin". If theyd kept the series more focused in the present and gave maybe 5 or 6 episodes to the "flashbacks" I wouldof enjoyed it alot more.

Id probably watch it if they come out with a second season(Which they really, really need to) Just because I really enjoy the antics of the current crew.

[Kira Yamato]

^The artwork is one of the strong points of the stories. And yeah, I guess everyone's main beef is with the constant flashbacks. I thought they could have given the backstory in a different way perhaps that didn't hinder the flow of the story, but they made us wade through the series wondering when it would be over.

..but all in all I like the series, and hope they come out with a second series rather than another OVA ><

[Nekomimi]

Well when they kept talking about the past before the "flashbacks" I was like oh this is gonna take like a couple episodes...But then it came...and kept coming...then stopped...then again...It was very frustrating to say the least. I didnt really care to know that much. I wouldof been fine with the "cliff notes" version of the past and thatd be fine.

Not to mention with ALLL that nonsense about the past aya's reasons for hating her ex are completely stupid. For one her brother commited suicide he did NOT get killed by mitsoumi. Why is she so angry at him for? For him loving her? For trying to beat her psychopathic brother and free her from his grasp?

Why is she so hung about that...The guy didnt have one single positive redeeming feature...He was a nut case that killed your parents among many others...What possible reason would she have to be upset about his death?!?

On a lighter note...The intro to this series kicks all sorts of ass hah. :amuse

Yes, Flashbacks are evil....long, extensive flashbacks that cover half of the 26 episode....plus the OVA's :laugh

I hated that part, the flashbacks themselves weren't that awful, but they were just too long.

Yeah, that part kind of confused me. I thought she wasn't with Mitsoumi anymore because of the kind of person he turned into after the fight not neccessarily the death of her brother. He did become kind of cold and distant after the fight with her brother, he just wasn't that happy warm and passionate guy she first met.


Why is she so hung about that...The guy didnt have one single positive redeeming feature...He was a nut case that killed your parents among many others...What possible reason would she have to be upset about his death?!?
Well, her borther had an unnatural attraction to her, and I'm guessing on some level she may have been too. Even though he was a monster in so many ways, every thing he did was to get close to her, and I guess gorwing up as a kid, you might confuse that sort of stuff as love.



On a lighter note...The intro to this series kicks all sorts of ass hah. :amuse

Thus the reason why it's on my mp3 player :amuse

[Kaki]

well as long as it is not flashbacks of something that just happened, and its fresh stuff.....

[Nekomimi]

Yea I figured some of those might be her reasons, but i kinda hoped they wheren't. When she was first introduced I thought she was a really cool character and I liked her personality up until the flashbacks. After that I just lost alot of respect for her...

As for him turning cold...Well...Some people confront there mortality in different ways. He apparently is taking the mentally disturbed path his mentor did unfortunatly...But hes still not a tenth as bad as shin was. I can still see alot of compassion and kindness in mitsoumi unlike shin(Like how he crashed avoiding the cat...Yea...Shin woulda ran over the thing, spit on it as he was using it for a speed bump while giving the poor neko the finger and cackling like a psycho...honestly... :P )

The only thing good that came from the flashbacks was I liked Mitsoumi more, aswell as bunshichi(he was just plain badass in the shin fight hah)

I still like her, the flashbacks just showed a weaker side to her, *and I don't mean phsyically* she has issues with her brother and the way she dealt with his death still kind of puzzles me.

Unless that cat was making goggly eyes at aya, I think cat might be okay :amuse
But yeah, you can totally see a difference between the two. Mitsoumi seems cold and ruthless when fighting but Shin was just plain psycho.

The only thing good that came from the flashbacks was I liked Mitsoumi more, aswell as bunshichi(he was just plain badass in the shin fight hah)
Yeah, the other characters who we met but didn't really know much of in the beggining got their time to shine in the flashbacks. Too bad they had to use the drawn out flashbacks to let us get to know them, but I'm glad that certain characters linke bunshichi got some air time...and he's funny as heck to boot XD

[xeno]

I was left wanting much more after I finished this series. I think it had a real story going on, aspecially since they spent soooooo much time on the past events. I'm like everyone else ... BRING ON A SEOND SEASON!

Personally, I would have liked to see Mitsuomi's brother get more play. I forgot his name, but I really would like to see him catch up with his brother in terms of overall strength.

[Kira Yamato]

I had a feeling that he would fall into the background as the series progressed. After all Nagi was the one who's the main character of the anime, and it's his progress that's important. It's kind of sad that Mitsoumi's brother is fading into the background but he's not really getting much stronger, moreso that Bob and Nagi are gaining ground in terms of strenght and fighting style.

[Nekomimi]

Yea definatly need more bob and mitsoumis brother. They both have really cool elegant styles of fighting, plus there characters personalities are pretty interesting. :amuse

[Kira Yamato]

Yea definatly need more bob and mitsoumis brother. They both have really cool elegant styles of fighting, plus there characters personalities are pretty interesting. :amuse

For some reason mitsoumis' brother seem as more comedy relief than anything else now. I mean in the beggining his abilities far surpassed Nagi, but now he's still a top tier figther, but is being overshadowed by Nagi. Plus his fantasies about Maya gave me a good laugh but it just showed how that's his most important role in the anime. Trying to win/protect Maya, although I found it kind of cute how he had hid her for the time being while everyone was looking for her.

[Nekomimi]

Yea one of the best scenes in the series for me was his reaction to her crying in the shower when he tried to peep at her...He had been acting like a perv the whole time which seemed kindof out of character, but it was cool that he was kindof disgusted with himself when he saw how upset and sad she was. Always enjoy seeing those kinds of guys heh. :amuse

It would have seemed weird if he wasn't a bit disgusted with herself. Afterall she was really down on herself and vulnerable. I'm sure that if she was just normally taking a shower it would have taken him a bit longer to take his eyes off of her XD

But yeah, it does show that he does have a conscious and really cares for her.

[kakashie-sensei]

i watched it untill nagi had his big dragon fight with that ubergay (can't remember his name)
are there new eps?

[Kira Yamato]

The series thus far is essentially 24 episodes, plus the two OVAs. In other words they left the story wide open and there's really know way of knowing whether they plan on having a second season, although logic dictates that they should.

[kakashie-sensei]

precisly i heard that the movie wasn't that good either.
instead of makin the story continue they rewinded itr or something like that

[Kira Yamato]

I don't know anything about a movie, I think you might mean the video that's basically a summarization of the entire series. meh..I'm still waiting for the show to come out without something new. I'd be dissapointed if it were another OVA, because it took forever to come out with the last ones. I think with this much elapsed time, they should come out with a full second season.

[wr3ckless]

I haven't heard anything about a movie either. But if there was i doubt it would give us a definite conclusion. Has anyone heard anything about a second season? If so where at?

[Kira Yamato]

There is nothing about a second season. Only the OVAs, I'm sure if there were something people would be talking about by noe :P

[TheVileOne]

From what I understand the OVA's will continue. Not sure when the next ones will happen.

Kira I don't see how you could have such problems with the ending of Shuffle and enjoy Tenjou Tenge so much.

What's so stupid is that Natsume blames the person she loves for killing her brother which he didn't even do. He was just trying to free her from the tyranny of her brother. He could've defeated him easily, but her brother takes a CHEAP SHOT at him and tries to kill him and their friend. And then he kills himself. The guy was a fucking bastard and I was glad he was dead. But no, everyone's sad about it and we have to hate each other. I hate this series and the dumbass characters.

[Nekomimi]

^

Have to basically agree with everything Vile said heh...Oh yea and that "video" is indeed an actual movie kira, but like you said it plays like a clip show...Has about zero new animation...Lame I know.

Whoever it is thats handling the animation deals for this series should be shot... :notrust

I like the ending to shuffle :S

Just not the way they explained Asa's reasoning for not using her magic. Believe me, it takes alot for me to dislike an anime series. I usually look at things as "half full" rather than "half-empty". Plus shuffle had an ending while Tenjou Tenge is still ongoing so, if I were to complain, would it really be about the ending since the series is technically ongoing?

As for Aya, I think she's mad about her brother's death for the simple fact that it was her brother. It's irrational, however love makes you do some pretty twisted things, and you got to admit that incest was just floating around this series since the beggining of the flashbacks. I think it was just her way of coping with her brother death. Having someone to blame for his death probably brings her more peace than having no one to blame or blaming her brother.

[me_is_david]

haha, didn't think people like Shin unless I'm reading wrong.
I didn't like Shin, I preferred Mitsuomi. I duno what the flashbacks were trying to do, showing Shin as the bad guy and Mitsuomi as the good guy or vice versa.
What I got from it was that Mitsuomi was good and Shin was evil. But apparently thats not how it was?

Either way, I'm different from everyone else lol. I always liked the "anti-hero" or somehow disliked the main.
I hated Nagi, I duno why maybe its cuz of the way he makes Aya feel lol since I like Aya and Maya. Also that he is a cocky little bitch lol, I so hoped that Mitsuomi would own his ass but he didn't, sadly. =(

As you can tell Mitsuomi is my favorite male character while Maya being my favorite female, and also those 2 are one of my favorite couples of anime =).

But apparently I hear the manga is A LOT better than the anime so I should check that out lol.

[Kira Yamato]

Mitsuomi was definetly the protagonist in the flashbacks and shin was the "bad guy". That was apparent enough, but I think the flashbacks was to give a reason for Mitsuomi's transformation and why he and Maya are so far apart now.

I wouldn't call Mitsuomi the anti-hero...heck I don't consider Nagi the hero. But obviously Nagi, is the one that the audience is expecting to be victorious at the end. That's probably why I'm so interested in the tournament and see how it turns out in the future OVAs. >_>

[Nekomimi]

I say Mitsuomi "Accidently" kills Nagi by going all out then falls over dead soon after from his body reaching its limit...Fitting end for a pair of fighters hah.

Yea I know never gonna happen...But I can dream. :P

rofl...at first when I heard your ending, I thought that it would have been depressing and a bit of a letdown, but the more I think about it the more funnier it becomes :laugh

I'm guessing that Nagi will probably end up fighting Mitsuomi and the fight will put both fighters near the brink of death, but somehow, Nagi finds a way to survive. Too predictable v_v

[TheVileOne]

Basically I hate Aya for favoring her brother of Mitsuomi. Stupid fucking characters. And she outright says that Mitsuomi killed her brother when that isn't even close to how it happened.

[Kira Yamato]

Yeah, I didn't get that part either. I'm guessing it's some kind of defense mechanism she used to get over the grief of losing her brother. Gosh, this sounds so similar to what someone said in another anime thread >_>

[TheVileOne]

I need to start watching Yakitake Japan.

[Nekomimi]

I guess...But honestly I didnt want anything too deep from this series...Why cant it just be fun fights with cute boys/girls and thats all hun? I just feel like mr. psycho shin is out of place in this story...Feels like he belongs to some other more serious anime keke. :P

Yeah, the anime really is one of extremes. Extreme fabservice, action, drama, and even some comedy thrown in for good mix. The whole shin thing changed the whole atmosphere of the series and made it much more darker than it had to be.

So, Flashbacks, pyschokillers and annoying hero's are everyone's pet peeves about the series? XD

@TVO: Yeah, you should definetly try Yakitate!! Japan

Today I had one of my friends over to watch it. He's usually into only fighting type anime, so he didn't want to give it a chance. But after a few episodes he was hooked XD

We watched 5 episodes today and I burned about 51 episodes on 2 DVDs for him to take home ^_^

I'm slowly winning converts :)

[Nekomimi]

Well as soon as I watch one of the series that Lingz reccomened me ill give it a try Kira ok? But if I hate it your gonna hear about it hah. :P

[Kira Yamato]

Well as soon as I watch one of the series that Lingz reccomened me ill give it a try Kira ok? But if I hate it your gonna hear about it hah. :P


I stake my reputation as a gentleman, all around nice guy and judge of worthy anime titles on your satisfaction of Yakitate!! Japan. But please watch at least the first 4 episodes before you make your decison. Better yet download the 1-12 batch, that way, you'll be at least obligated to watch the first 12 episodes. XD


And don't judge me, since I'm lenient on Tenjou Tenge, I just have a soft spot for anime with great OPs'. Plus the dancing is kick-ass :noworry

[Nekomimi]

Yea there just isnt enough dancing in anime you know? I think ten-ten proves that. :P

[RealaMoreno]

The intro is...sticky. Once you hear it, you won't ever forget it. And yes, that Shin thing killed the potiential this series had to be really good.

I don't know if it killed the series...I think the constant flashbacks and incomplete storyline had something to do with it as well :amuse
I mean this series has such high expectations and to see it fall flat on it's face is disappointing. The story just feels to fractured and we're all stuck having to go throug such long flashbacks. That's not saying that I didn't enjoy some of them, but it felt as if the series consisted of nearly of flashbacks...well, half of the series anyways >_>

[TheVileOne]

What killed the series for me is how stupid the characters are and how they absolutely suck so much. None of them are really likeable to me at all and I hate them for their stupidity. They are truly pathetic.

[Kaki]

Here is one chapter of the manga I did a bit of work on .... not any spoiler at all except for Aya's eyes when she fights pole man.... (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5AAJY0VC)

Liking the OP goes without saying, but you didn't even like the fight sequences or the animation? :S

It was all kind of average to me. The fights and animation are honestly meangingless to me if I don't give a shit about the characters.

I like Bomb Ahead, and I kinda like Masataka. Other than that...nothing really.

animated fight sequences and an understandable plot would have just been a bonus :noworry

@Kakihara: I'll read it tommorrow. I'm reading the last few chapters of Black cat now :P

[RodMack]

I didn't really like how half the anime was freaking flashbacks. Sure it was cool cause it had Shin and a more wilder Maya, but dammit. The ending just totally killed the anime. And when I first saw Mitsoumi I was like "Is this guy a fag?"

I guess I watched it cause Maya and Aya are so freaking hot. XD

As I mentioned before, the fanservice rocked in this series ^_^

and yeah, the ending or lack thereof really rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way.

And Mitsoumi in a skin tight suit while he's fighting is considered gay? Well, it does a little >_>

[TheVileOne]

I didn't even like the fan service in this series. Girls Bravo is a show that knows how to deliver with fan service.

[narutorulez]

when will ova 3 come?if there will be one

[Kira Yamato]

I didn't even like the fan service in this series. Girls Bravo is a show that knows how to deliver with fan service.


I think the animation of the fanservice was nicely done. And Girls Bravo is like 85%-90% fanservice xD

While the fanservice is a bit much in tenjou tenge, it doesn't get played it up as much, but in Girls Bravo they don't act coy and let you know off the bat that it's fanservice all the way.
I have to admit Fukuyama really knows how to have a good time :laugh

@nauto: there should be another OVA coming out even though it would have made more sense to come out with a second season ;__;

[wr3ckless]

hey. i thought shin was a pretty cool character. in that demented dark creepy sorta way. but they did O.D. with the flashbacks. Shin's background almost reminds me of kimimaro, in that they had such a bad childhood, but they had one person who they would give they're all for. The only person who meant anything in the world to them. And shin's flashbacks really made me feel for him. But thats jus me.

[Kira Yamato]

I found it kind of hard to feel sorry for shin. I mean what did his parents do to deserve being killed by him? Because he always wanted to be with his sister? Well, his child old was kinda crappy, but let's face it he was definetely demented...>_>

[wr3ckless]

lol. what do you mean what did they deserve for being killed. they locked him in the basement away from everything. they coulda jus hid the sword somewhere else. but noooooooooooooooooo. they put him in a cell in the basement. i thought it was a bit harsh. and the only one who came to see him was his sis.

[Kira Yamato]

Hence, why I said he did have a somewhat crappy childhood :laugh
Am I the only here whose had a similar childhood to shins? xD

Meh, if the parents were really scared of Shin, they should have taken more extreme measures. I mean wouldn't locking him up just feed his anger? It's cold, but I'd say bye, bye son *for good*...or just destroy the sword. Which ever one is more convienent :noworry

[wr3ckless]

Hence, why I said he did have a somewhat crappy childhood :laugh
Am I the only here whose had a similar childhood to shins? xD

lmao. Lol. I thought he was a great character. his whole thing with mitsuomi was good to. i think they should have not dedicated as many flashbacks as they did to it though

[Kira Yamato]

^I think a lot of people here would agree with you on that point. It really hindered the flow of the story. At a certain point of the series, I started to forget the main plot of the story. and it's not a good thing when you can go 4 or 5 episodes without remembering whose the main character, because flashbacks has warped your mind.

[TheVileOne]

I just hated everybody. Especially the girlfriend with the glasses. She just got on my nerves.

[Kira Yamato]

Didn't she end up sacrificing herself for Shin, even though she knew that he only loved his sister? I never did understand that part, but hating every character us such a strong word :laugh

A fucktard that didn't deserve her sacrifice. She was a conspirator and was always doing dubious shit. I hate her.

I really didn't hate any of the characters in series. I really need to get around to reading the manga though.

[Kira Yamato]

I forgave her because she looked fine thus, I had no hatred towards her :noworry

But this series, had a lot of characters who made unreasonable choices or assumptions. I just thought that's how the human mind worked. We've talked about this in other series *cough shuffle cough*, so it shouldn't shock you :laugh

In Shuffle its understandable and dramatic. In Tenjou Tenge its just fucking retarded.

[OniTasku]

I must admit, the whole sacrifice scene in Tenjou Tenge was a tad bit overplayed and sometimes the actions of the characters made you second-guess yourself and them.

[TheVileOne]

I never second guessed myself watching the series :) .

[Kira Yamato]

In Shuffle its understandable and dramatic. In Tenjou Tenge its just fucking retarded.


aww...that's awful. Tenjou tenge really peeved you off. In order for you to hate so much, you must have had high expectations for it. I mean if you weren't expecting anything from it then you would have just said it sucked as you expected. But it seemed that you feel burned because you invested time in the anime and it let you down big time.

Well, I'm still holding out hope, but it's flickering and almost burning out. Stop trying to extinguish it :yell

:laugh

[wr3ckless]

yeah i found shins girlfriend to be quite a (insert explicit here) but other than that, everyone else was pretty cool. I dont think there was a character i didnt like. and for a time during the flashbacks, i forgot the story was originally about nagi and them. Hey, the vileone, if they made anymore episodes you wouldn't be the least interested in them?:jk

Shin's girlfriend was not only hot *loves women with glasses*, but she had excellent medical skills. I don't know why Shin was stupid enough to choose his sister over her, but I keep reminding myself that he's demented.

And I admit, if another OVA did come out I'd download it in a heartbeat, but I'd be still grumbling about wanting to see a second season instead.

[OniTasku]

I still have hopes for it, and perhaps a second season will maybe float on down the road sometime in the near future. From what I've heard of Tenjou Tenge fans is that the manga better supplements the series and gives it more justice than the anime gave it.

That's the case in most series, like Black Cat or Ichigo 100%. The manga is usually superior which makes sense, since the anime draws it's material from the manga. But if the storyline is very simliar to the manga, I don't think it would even please TVO :laugh

[TheVileOne]

That's because the manga sucks as well.

If there was more, I might watching if only to justify my hate and disdain even more.

I'm just on the extreme end, but quite honestly you guys really don't seem that attached to it.

[wr3ckless]

i'd download a new OVA with the quickness. even if it is going to leave me unsatisfied with another cliffhanger ending. i'd prolly still enjoy it thoughsmile-big

[OniTasku]

True, TVO. I don't exactly think too greatly of Tenjou Tenge. I mean, it had its good parts which I enjoyed (ie: first episode) and its annoying parts (ie: the majority of the series which consisted of flash-backs).

I've seen a lot better, but for some reason I was drawn in by the style of it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Tenjou Tenge actually a Korean anime and not Japanese?

[TheVileOne]

Its Japanese as far as I can recall. I suppose it might've had some work done in Korea but other than that, no.

I'm voicing my complaint as a fan who still like the series and believe it can turn itself around. But you hate it with a passion, I really respect that :amuse
Because it's so entertaining how you describe you're disdain for the series. xD

I don't exactly love the series, but it has a few redeeming qualities, which are it's animation, fan service and fight sequences. The story is broken and disjointed by the flashbacks, and it takes too freaking long for another episode to come out. But I like nonetheless.

[wr3ckless]

i will admit to that for the most part, I am a fan of the series although flashbacks did kill it for even me. Maybe its the nostalgia from the first fight in episode 2, or the fact that i might have eaten a 10 day old sandwhich found in the back of my fridge b4 i watched it. but i must admit. i do like it

It's kind of sad when the best fight happened in episode 2, but as slow as the story was in developing, it kept me hooked just enough to keep watching it. I was just hoping that my patience would pay off, but they dashed my dreams by leaving the series incomplete while making us wade through multiple episodes of flashbacks.

[TheVileOne]

If they left the series as it is...that would also justify my hate as well :D .

[wr3ckless]

i also did think shin's and tawara's fight was pretty hot as well. other then that, nothin really surpassed those two fights. and no other characters got much burn when it came to fighting

[Kira Yamato]

lol...

*watches as TVO starts a anti-tenjou tenge FC* :laugh

Like anything, series can be fixed or made better. First they have to stop with all these annoying flashbacks and second avoid move through the story at a faster pace. I mean if they can keep the story flowing without boredom creeping in, then it has a chance. And since Shin is already dead, I'm assuming the shin hatred will die down xDD

And bring back the focus back on Nagi, no matter how annoying he may be...xD

[OniTasku]

What I was certainly surprised about is the fact they kept talking about Bob and making him out to be incredibly strong and that he had lots of potential to become one of the best fighters at the school, though when he was in fights they played him off as always getting beaten and never really giving him the chance to prove himself a great fighter

well, I think Bob was going to do some individual training that would make him stronger as the series progressed. It just seemed that way when they were at the bowling alley, and they were convincing him to maybe switch sides or at the very least pull away from the group, because Bob was being overshadowed by Nagi and the rest and his talents were going to waste.

[TheVileOne]

Did I mention how Bob gets a haircut later and loses the dreads?

[Kira Yamato]

Did I mention how Bob gets a haircut later and loses the dreads?


Yes, you did and just like last time, it hurts me badly. I liked his style and they just took it away for him. Yeah, I guess it was signifying some kind of change but he just doesn't look right without his locks ><

[OniTasku]

Bob getting a haircut...that doesn't seem right...at all. Also, one peevish thing about the OVA is how Nagi's transformation was really not seen as a huge deal. You would think that would have played a larger part, but nope.

[Kira Yamato]

Yeah, Nagi seemed to get short-changed somewhat. But I think it was a ploy to surprise the audience at a later time. Because I can't possibly imagine that they would just let his great growth not garner any relative importance.

[TheVileOne]

The only growth Nagi grows through is changing his hair color and his clingy wife goes all fangirl about it.

C'mon, I'm assuming he has to learn some new technique or gets stronger because he is the protagnoist and the hero always has to get stronger and somewhere win despite all the adversities :P

[Nekomimi]

Haha vile really does hate this series hun...But yea I hated how Nagi's change got kindof shortchanged and didnt seem very dramatic...

And bob without the locks is just...wrong... :oh

[Kira Yamato]

It's kinda sad how two of the main characters are screwed whether it's in term of power or just fashion XDD

But I can't let go of the series, curiosity has me coming back to it whenever they finnally make another new episode or OVA.

[OniTasku]

Though if it were between a second season or a series of OVA's, hands down to the second season, there is still way too much that was left out that can be told. Plus, they could easily go past the Tournament, don't you think?

Yeah, we can finnally get that arc somewhat resolved or at least underway. The OVA's are too few and far between to keep the fans satisfied. Well, the fans who still like the series. :laugh

[OniTasku]

I think if they gave it another go that a lot more fans would watch it considering it has had time to -attempt to- gather a larger fanbase. While that may have turned off some of the original fans, it has then probably gained double the fans it once had.

A second season would be probably pretty popular if it was done correctly, I'd assume.

Exactly...at this point people who hate the series won't be satisfied no matter how a second season would turn out. But they have a possibility to increase their fanbase of new people, if they knew a second season was out and flowed better than the first season...*meaning no long flasbacks about a guy who has the hots for his sister xD*

[OniTasku]

XD

Yea, although it's not the first time I've watched an anime (or read a manga) which had incestual love (or hints of it). I mean actual anime and manga (nope...no Black Bible..or the likes of). The flashbacks consumed way too much time of the original anime and really killed it for lots of people (though the flashbacks weren't back). Another thing, the flashbacks detracted from the main characters and pretty much made you forget WHO the main characters were.

I'll say for one that I was thinking for a bit that Maya and Shin were the main characters. That is when you need to stop them, and probably by the time the animation team figured that out, it was already too late. They just need to stick to the manga, throw in a little more and then they'll be fine.

I felt exactly the same way =O

I mean, once the anime gets to the point where you forget who the main characters are or you think the poeple in the flashbacks are the main character then you've got yourself a real issue. If only the writers would figure that and fix the problem.

[OniTasku]

Yea, I'm assuming there most have been problems between the editors and actual animation team and the funding. Certainly, a logical explantion for the dramatic drop-off of the series could be a low-budget or a void-contract. Though in all aspirations, I definitely would like to see more of Tenjou Tenge in a second season.

When I first saw the series I knew it would probably be difficult to contiue funding at such a high quality, because like other anime such as Tenchi and Naruto, the quality often takes a hit as the series continues. And if a lot of people her complained about the series, I'm imagining there's a great deal of people in Japan who were probably turned off by it as well. And of course it's hard to justify budget dedicated to high quality animation for a series that has lost some of it's viewership. I would hate to see a chaep version of this series.

Remember what the final six episodes of the x-men animated series looked like ><

[OniTasku]

I believe it made my eyes bleed if I remember correctly. As for your mention of Naruto, I can only hope the quality of the animation gets a lot better during K.G.

Tenjou Tenge did indeed have very exceptional quality animation. The color was very crisp and the fight sequences weren't haphazardly produced. I mean, the first episode when they walk into the Jyuuken Club dojo and show Aya practicing a few kata's and slicing the cherry blossoms. That had to be some of the nicest animation of swordplay I'd ever seen before.

Yeah, part of the appeal of the action and fanservice was based on the high quality animation. I think the anime would have been abandoned if the anime had less than stellar animation. The part when Nagi crashed into the shower was awesome and when Aya kissed him..best scene in the anime :pleased

And as for Naruto, I'm pretty sure they didn't want to spring for quality animation on the fillers, but when they get back on track with the manga *starting with Kakashi's gaiden* the animation will be on par or above the sasuke rescue arc.

[Kaki]

well, with the flashback thing don't think of it as a diversion of the real story, consider it another way of telling a story.......

and read the manga.......

[OniTasku]

Oh, I'm sure it's much better and serves much more justice than the anime offered. Though, I think we'll at least always know that TVO will never like Tenjou Tenge, and I mean never. :laugh

[Kira Yamato]

Yeah, but some people weren't really happy with the alternative story telling. I'd prefer a more straight forward way of getting the point across. Sure, I don't mind flashbacks but not to that extent.

[TheVileOne]

I read the manga and that sucks too. All the manga has is more boobs and rape. That's it.

If you guys were legends like me, you wouldn't like it either.

[OniTasku]

I've never particularly declined an offer to read more fan service, though.

[TheVileOne]

I didn't offer you anything :P !

I don't like rape scenes...but you mentioned there's more fanservice as well. And it would be very weird and wrong of me to turn down such a thing :tem

[OniTasku]

XD

That...is quote material.

[wr3ckless]

lmao. yeah who doesnt want more fanservice

[Dimezanime19]

I know I luv fan service, exactly why I'm waiting for this damn so called 2nd season.

[Kaki]

The manga is most always better, and the rape scen is not expicit and its short, and later she says that it did't actualy happen....somthing like that

[OniTasku]

Oh the rape scene, you mean the one where Maya is taken hostage and used to make Shin go balistic and use the Ryuugan?

[TheVileOne]

:notrust . Like we should've believed that.

There isn't going to be a second season. Possibly more OVA's, but that's it.

[Kira Yamato]

I thought that there was another scene where that guy who kidnapped Bob's girlfriend raped her in the manga. Or maybe I guess wrong? :oh
