News on Tenjo Anime

That's part of the reason for sure. But more importantly, it's also because the kind of anime that truly succeed are the wholesome ones--the ones that the entire family can enjoy. (i.e. Doraemon) Shows like that receive the prime spots on Japanese tv. I've also heard that there are some anime that are only available on obscure channels, which unfortunately not every region in Japan may have access to. Of course, some are luckier than others.
Naruto is being "korean-ised" as well (around late 50's episodes, maybe earlier ?). I don't know, maybe it's Naruto but there's a lot of CG mixing going on (TJTG may be heading for the same direction, especially "high speed fighting scenes") Well, as long as they don't butcher the character faces (some eps in naruto, the characters look really screwed up).
well I saw tengo tenge anime eps 2 yesterday and it sure didn't seem more risque or anything =P lolz but it was still good, but it started to deviate from the manga there... just a lil bitpv82 wrote:Do they air it @ that time so they can more serious and risque???kujoe wrote:Every friday, 2 something in the morning...I think.
First off, Korea does a lot of it's own stuff. We just don't hear about it that much. Like they make the Ragorok manga (and game) wich is amazing. But I don't realy like the idea of out sourceing anime (or manga) unless it makes it better.
As far as the anime goes...
I think it's great. It's not as good as I would like (basicly Oh! Great's detail, but that would take way too much time and money) but it's great. I think the voices are great. Even though I'm not too happy with Bob's voice, but I understand there aren't too many black japanese...Besides the way they do voices is different than english. It works fine. I was fine with Aya's voice, she just didn't look right to me (same with Masataka, and a little with Bob). I'll get use to it though. The opener and closer are good (love the songs). I also like that they changed things a little. Other wise it would be repetitive. The fight in ep 2 was very bad ass...Can't wait till the big ones! ^_^
All and all I'm pleased. I'm sure it will only get better as time goes on. We just have to realise it probly won't meet our expectations of it sence we already have our own ideas of how it should be.

I think u can either go to http://anime.mircx.com or www.downloadanime.net (both of these are Bit Torrent sites though, so u have to have that program). There might be better one but those are the 2 I know and have been using. if u sign up with downloadanime u can dl other anime & manga titles that might not be listed. Like Lil Miss and Midori days (both are funny ass mangas).

Yeah, I'm reading the manga now, already have 3 volumes, it's really fight-fight-fight basicly, but I like it ^^
For the MMORPG, Ragnarok Online, it's brilliant, for am onth or so ... It gets extremely boring after a while when All there's to do is kill the same stupid enemies who yield little or no xp when you progress through the game... If the game had quests, and I mean REAL quests, not stuff like Mr. Smiley or collecting stuff dor dyestuff, the game would have been great ...

I've had it fansubbed since late mondaynight

Is it the normal way of going in Japan to call people by their surnames ? Because it's weird ... It got me a bit confused, I know Masataka is his name, because his brother is Mitsuomi Takayanagi, but they all call him Mitsuomi, but they never call Masataka 'Masataka' ... It's just to weird ...
And for a long time I thought Nagi was Nagi's first name, where now it seems to be his surname and Soishiro is his first name ...
Aaah, it's all toooooooooooo much

^Uh, isn't that supposed to be the other way around? Now I'm confused.
Banorac: It's quite common among Asians to identify themselves with their families. Such bonds still do exist even to this day. Even here, it's still common to hear your surname being called when a friend is trying to get your attention. Of course, that doesn't happen between members of the family. That would be confusing, don't you think? And among intimate partners as well.
Besides, I actually think it's easier to remember someone's surname.

Oh, the whole coutresy thing the East is so overly fond of ^^
Hm, yeah, I could've guessed that for myself ...
But what I intended as my main question ( though it didn't come out that way ) was if Nagi is Nagi's surname or firstname ... Because I allways thought Nagi was his first name and Soichiro his surname/familiy name ... But then I read in the manga something about 'The Nagis' ... So that would make Nagi his surname ... really confusing ^^

Well, holy crap. I was wrong. Checking my character list for Tenjo Tenge, his mother's name is "Nagi Makiko" so Nagi is indeed the family name. In fact, I should have remembered this; Souichirou is normally a first name. One of the main characters in Vulgar Ghost Daydream is named Souichirou even (different Kanji though.)
Well, that is what the character lists are there for.
cheers,

I downloaded the a-s (anime station?) sub of ep 2, since I missed out on the raw. I'm curious too. Really though, the japanese in ep 1 wasn't anything too tough.wurz wrote:hey fugu, since you're the most adept at japanese, maybe you could check out the different groups subbing and see how accurate the translations are, so everyone can get the best translations.
personally i've been getting anime-stations.
I haven't had time to watch it yet though.

Hm, I liked ep 2. I like the way Nagi is developed more than in the manga (but dislike Aya more) and Takayanagi comes out well too.
I only noticed one thing to quibble about with a-e's translation. At one point, they translate Souichirou saying "まけちゃいけない" as "I don't want to lose". It should have been "I can't lose" or "I can not afford to lose" or "I can not allow myself to lose". Otherwise, when I noticed their subtitles, they were really good. It is hard to always keep an eye on them though, and easier just to follow along in Japanese sometimes.
I really thought their sub of the opening song was cute. I don't like the closing song. I've never got past the first "aishite" part before I lose interest.

I watched eps 3 of tt btw... lolz they took out the rape scene of chiaka (which imo is good but I think I hear some boos out there...) but she got a lil... burnt lolz

yo I already got
Episode 3 so tell me Tenjo TEnge comes out every fryday.
All's Fair in Love and War.
Hey is it me or do the ladies in Tenjo Tenge look a little less ( what's the word...) appealing? Or atleast not really true to the manga. Like Chiaki and Izuzu, they look way better drawn in the manga than they do in the anime. Aya i guess her design to me went in another direction but its okay. Maya is the best one draw out of all of them IMO.
Put it simply, not as hot as their manga versions. Usually though, it never is, unless it's movie quality. At any rate I don't think Oh!Great worked on the art (wasn't he like a supervisor or something) so that may be part of the reason. Though I really only have a problem with Chiaki, she looks like, 10 or something =/ On the other end of the scale, I think Chibi-Maya looks absolutely adorable, didn't expect that at all, heh.
However I didn't expect the detail in the anime to be as good as the manga, not as high (not just because it's MUCH harder to animate, its keeping that consistant level of animation throughout the series). The action is still very nice, and on the whole I'll still keep watching for now, I'm not disappointed in the anime at all.

Yeah, I really enjoy it., prolly some thign WILL be different, but after the whole LOTR-thingie, which I took way to serieosly ( the changes in the movies ), I've grown up, it's just a series based on the manga, if you want the story of the manga, read the manga and don't watch the anime ...
Anyway, as far as the art goes, I like Ogure's art better, only he makes their breasts to .. what's the word ... humongous ...

Aya's hair certainly suffered from the transition from paper to television. The cute little messed-up part of her bangs have become a huge, crooked spike. Sure, it's there in her manga character design, but the way its drawn for animation sure makes it stand out. The most glaring example of the characters not looking quite so nice is during the end credits. The poor girl looks like she has a developmental disorderpv82 wrote:Hey is it me or do the ladies in Tenjo Tenge look a little less ( what's the word...) appealing?
Overall I'm pleased with the animated version. I'm just inclined to be a nit-picker, and there are always plenty of nits to pick when it comes to such things.
The first thing I noticed was how weird her face looks in the credits compared to the rest of her scenes in the anime. I think it has something to do with her eyes. The space between her eyes looks more narrow than their width--an illusion that's probably caused by her eyelashes.burrowowl wrote:The most glaring example of the characters not looking quite so nice is during the end credits.

Anyway, it's quite expected that there's going to be a gap between the art of the manga and the art of the anime. It doesn't really bother me at least. It's just that I like the art of the manga more overall.
Hey, Naga has got the most appealing laugh in the history of anime, man! Don't tell me you don't like Naga's laughter of death...Crimson wrote:Meh, i don't like the character designs in the anime, at some part i think it looks horrible. Also, Aya's voice is driving me insane, i mean its worst than listening to Naga *from the Slayers* laugh.
Bomb me, please.
The quality of the art is lower in some segments in my opinion. It's pretty noticeable especially with regard to Chiaki. Moreover, Nagi's mom has not been shown yet. If I'm not mistaken, the part when Masataka wakes up from his nightmare takes place after the scene where Nagi is awakened by his mom.moyism wrote:I know everyone is probably sick of me saying it... but...
tenten 4 by a-s came out today. No clue how good the episode is since I haven't had the chance (nor bandwidth) to d/l the raw or the sub.
anyone get it yet? comments?

Makiko first appeared in the middle of volume 4, after the Bowling Alley fight. We are currently in the very beginning of volume 2.
You're right. Her first appearance takes place before that other scene when Masataka's father asks him if he has a girlfriend early in the morning. My mistake.

The Anime isn't too bad...it's a little less dark than the manga, but I'm enjoying it so far. Hisakawa Aya is great so far as Maya - I don't know if any of you watched Juuni Kokki, but Hisakawa Aya played a female warrior empress, which I think is perfect for a mature character like Maya. She's my favorite character ^_^
