"Lions throw their cubs off the cliff and raise only the ones that climb back up." No they don't Heihachi, you fucking imbecile.šŸ˜‚

Sorry, still scarred from that first Tekken anime.

Man if you think that slice of late 90s anime mediocrity was bad, you should see the live action version they made later. Jesus Christ, it was fucking awful.

This? This at least looks like a good martial arts action anime. And if my Tekken arcana is right, looks to be basically expanding on Jun's Tekken 2 ending story and moving into Jin's Tekken 3 story.

I think between the Big Three fighting games (Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and Tekken), Tekken's had the worst luck when it comes to adaptations. Hopefully, this show turns things around.

There are certain fighting video game movies worse than the Tekken movies....

Behold!

At least Fatal Fury had a couple of decent animated movies.

Yeah, I remember hearing about this but didn't watch it. Sounds like I missed nothing of value.
