After reading the prologue to LaughingMan's review of "The Changeling" I thought long and hard in regards towards the pointlessness of reviewing anime that are either popular or aren't new enough to be a popular topic so I have instead tossed my previous reviews into the trash bin and focused on a recent release that both video game fans and anime fans would find appealing. So, finally, I bring to you the workings of my latest review. I am rewording the remainder of my review as of now and I am also in the midst of taking screencaptures to illustrate various points.

But for now here is living proof of my current work.



Tekken Blood Vengeance

Inspired by the popular video game series, Tekken Blood Vengeance is a 3D animated film supervised by Youchi Mori (Appleseed) and with the screenplay written by Dai Sato (Cowboy Bebop), and on November 22, 2011, Tekken Blood Vengeance was released in North America on DVD, Blu-Ray disk and bundled with the Tekken Hybrid video game for the Playstation 3 system. Tekken Blood Vengeance was subsequently released in Japan on December 1, 2011 – almost two weeks after its North American release. It's my estimation that the parent company of the Tekken series, Namco Bandai, wanted Tekken Blood Vengeance available for the post-holiday Black Friday shopping day, the busiest shopping day of the year.

Tekken Blood Vengeance as another chapter in the growing popularity of 3D animated video game movies, a growing trend popularized by Square Enix's sequel to Final Fantasy VII in their 2005 hit Final fantasy VII Advent Children. Tekken Blood Vengeance is cannon to the Tekken storyline in that follows the events between the fifth and sixth games in the series. Some have theorized that Tekken Blood Vengeance was made to further distance the franchise from the 2010 Tekken Movie, though project leader Katsuhiro Harada has publicly stated that the computer animated film is for fans asking for an Advent Children treatment to their beloved fighting game series.

However, after watching this film twice, it is this reviewers opinion that like Advent Children, the Tekken Movie, and many of the video game movie predecessors, Tekken Blood Vengeance is a beautiful but flawed attempt to capitalize on an existing fanbase.

Alissa? The girl is Alisa. I would make a pun about punching her in the nuts and bolts because she's a robot but I think someone made a joke about that in these forums before. :lol:

That's what I meant x_X. She pissed me off so fucking badly in Tekken 6.

I stopped playing Tekken at Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. I still think that Tekken Tag was the funnest of all because of the character roster, but T5:DR was impressive, too.

A promise is a promise. I am nearing the end of my review rewrite with little more to add but some positive commentary on the english dub cast. :D

@ONOE: ...You started listening to emocore or something? Just kiddin'. :D

First of all, you do know you can allign the images and videos in the center, right? I dunno, it just looks more presentable that way.

Second, I'll give your review a read later in the day.

Third, is it me, or does the panda in this image look more human that the two female characters? :shock:
