What happens

Tekken: Bloodline is an action fantasy anime television miniseries based on the video game series Tekken by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The series loosely adapts the events of the 1997 video game Tekken 3 and follows the young fighter Jin Kazama in his quest to defeat Ogre, the creature that killed his mother Jun. Jin's quest leads to him being trained to track Ogre by his violent grandfather Heihachi Mishima, who is hosting a fighting tournament called the King of Iron Fist. The show premiered on Netflix on August 18, 2022, for a total of six episodes. The series was produced as a coming-of-age story of Jin, something that game series director Katsuhiro Harada wanted to emphasize, since Tekken 3 did not highlight Jin's past. It was directed by Yoshikazu Miyao, who wanted to properly show Jin's tragic story. The series received mixed responses as a result of its short length, providing little screentime to most characters besides Jin and instead emphasizing fight scenes. The style and quality of the show's animation were also questioned. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
