Tekken: Bloodline

Let's start off by acknowledging how often Netflix ruins video game series. Resident evil is a prime example of how terrible they can be.

This is not that. It's exactly what Tekken should be. I like this style of animation. Fight scenes are well animated. It looks like (so far) they put actual effort in and did this right.

Only issue for me is it's only 6 episodes. So far so good but it's a small sample to judge fairly.

Side note: although they do usually ruin video game adaptations, PLEASE do yourself a favour and watch Castlevania on Netflix. Easily the best video game adaptation they've ever done. Maybe Tekken in time will pass them.

Time will tell.

The pacing was too fast to develop a connection to any side character, wasted fights/action and off-screening what would've been interesting to watch.

Still, this is easily the best TEKKEN show or movie you can watch, because everything else is just terrible.

Hoping for a Season 2 with slower pacing and A LOT more focus on the side characters, frankly they're what I like the most about TEKKEN.

The plot is the same as the game its based on : "Tekken 3". As such, the story is straight forward and can be boring to some viewers. However, if you're a tekken fan, you'll find the animation is brilliant and the moves displayed are basically the same as the one you do when you mindlessly press the button while playing Tekken.

I need to warn you though, the english dub is a massacre, just watch it with the japanese dub. The voices match the ones in-game and it feels refreshing. Furthermore, the voice-acting on the english version is mediocre to say the least.

Overall, the show is enjoyable and a real dive into the state of mind of Jin Kazama.

If you at least know some Tekken story plot and gameplay, you'll be very pleased with this. The only thing is that they should have animated the other fights, I really wanted to see those face offs, some characters were kind of wasted with that, but I'm sure that if they add more episodes, everything should work out just well.

I went in with zero expectations, and boy was I surprised. If you are a fan of the tekken game series, you will love this. Especially if you have played tekken 1 to 3.

It goes straight to the point, and it is not cheesy.

Only reason I did not give this a 10/10, is because of how few episodes there are. I hope to see more of this!
