Tekken: Bloodline

Definitely one of the better video game adaptations on the small screen. Netflix has been fairly good with their animated adaptations of video game franchises. This is no Castlevania or Arcane but is definitely better than Dota for me. So overall, a fun watch for those who want a short show with good action and story. Hope they remove the shadows if they get a second season.

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!

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.

The art style was unique and good, with very smooth animation that was mandatory especially for the fight scenes, the writing was good and gave us a closer look to the story and characters we know. I think it was a bit rushed and could use more episodes for the first season. Overall it was a very good start for a Tekken animated series and i hope we see more like this.

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.
