I could not believe there is an anime series on Tekken, my favorite video game franchise of all time. This was a must-watch series for me as a die-hard fan.
After watching all six episodes, I believe this series is successful in keeping faith to the video-game franchise. Tekken 3 is one of my favorite installments and I'm really glad I got a detailed version of the story behind the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3.
I also agree that the series does have the potential to grow bigger in this fictional universe, perhaps a Tekken-anime universe set apart from the video-game universe to keep fans and viewers like us tuning in to the lore.
Even the fighting stances, moves, and choreography are extremely faithful to the games. Points are earned for that.
However, and I mean that with respect, there are some storytelling techniques that lacked impact or missing to make the series a bit more better in my opinion. One critique I have to point out is the lack of build-ups to earn certain moments. What I mean is that there were characters and scenes that just happened to me with explanations, backstories, and investments to knowing more about this series from world-building. For a viewer that watches this series without any knowledge about the franchise's lore, they could get confused a bit by things that just happen for some reasons. I do understand if this series does cater for viewers who grew up loving the games.
I look forward to a potential season two and even a prequel season if any suggestions are possible.
Overall, it's a fairly good watch.
