Great!..But Too many Fillers..(Spoilers Perhaps)


Come on you gotta agree. 1-9 The Storyline is great! i loved it then came the OVAs revealing Maya Natsume's past ..then it came back to the main storyline somewhere..near episode 17...i strongly thought they should of focused more on Nagi and Bob..However they decided to use many flashbacks which i considered as Fillers....Don't get me wrong ..i throughly enjoyed Tenjho Tenge!...Its Brilliant! especially the OVAs..episodes 25 and 26!

Furthermore...Many Japanese (Otaku?)/Cosplay icons are combined to characters such as Shin Natsume..is arguably a Combination of Final Fantasy 7's Sephiroth and Devil May Cry's Dante..(well thats my assumption!)...

Overall yeah..its great!

Hmm you think so? I actually really liked the flashback episodes.

Yeah..Because. I dunno yeah They're OK..and its interesting to know the past but..if feels like to me they just over loaded us with the past..Like an old grandpa story that Drags!...but yeah i liked a few of them...the history about Shin Natsume was awkward..and then it dragged..but i lived with it!

Yeah, I was disappointed... it started pretty well the first 4 eps then the fillers started to come. First Episode 5-9 with the "Bowling Alley fight" that kind of reminded me of a DBZ episode going on and on and on when they could've done all in one episode.

Then the memory thing that goes from 10-15 and then again from 19-23 :/
I thought the story was more focused on the characters they introduced at the beginning e.g. Souichiro, Aya, Maya etc. and not over half of a series some memories or single fighting scenes over 3+ eps :/

And what the hell is withing giving the really IMPORTANT fights near the end barely a few minutes after that and ending it that abruptly...

I lost immediate interest in the show when I noticed Ogure Ito's reoccurring theme. Dismemberment. If somone isnt loosing an eye, there missing an arm, or some cases two arms. Im all for the guts and glory part of anime but there is a case of too much of a good thing.
I used to be a fan of his Silky Whip series given all the weird events. but the guy should go back to doujin, as he tries way too hard to put too much sex (yes i typed it) into an anime. I mean cmon a group a girls that beat Bob by having sex with him?. Thats pretty lame.
Also only when he starts going into feudal Japan and Souichiros father did I stop watching and or reading. It had potential...but so did Air Gear.

This show was cool but the only downside was most of the series was flashbacks
