I don't know why, but the anime based on popular fighting games are not up to the par, which should be the exact opposite of RPGs. With the exception of few titles, most fighting games anime are just mindless action with no concern to the story or the characters' presentation and development whatsoever. Tekken, being one of the best fighting games of all time was turned into one of the ugliest anime. The action senses are not good, the story is as useless as if it were never there and the animation and art style are just horrible to a degree that I could not recognize Jun until the end of the movie - part of that was my problem because I was not paying much attention to the dialogue, but that won't give an excuse for not-true-to-roots characters. Better left unwatched as it will not add anything new and it may change your opinion in the game.

Primarily painful to watch, Tekken's only redeeming feature is the fleshing out of the Tekken "story" that is so poorly presented in the videogames. As a fan of the game I enjoyed watching the characters, but even with that draw for me I don't think I'll ever revise this one. The animation is fairly bad, with heavy use of early computer effects, and cel shading. If you're a rabid fan of the game you may want to rent this one, but most people are going to want to stay far away from this train wreck.
