Tenjho Tenge – Round 02 (Animé TV)

 

Picture: C+     Sound: C+     Extras: C-     Episodes: C-

 

 

Things continue to get bad for Bob & Souichiro, as well as the viewer, in the school hijinks of the fight-obsessed Tenjho Tenge, a badly written formula show that has each episode listed as an enumerated fight.  This is listed as “Fight 5, Fight 6…”  Girls are still involved, but they are sharing equal rights with men in both fighting and being equally airheaded.  This is for ages 16 and above, but the mentality is even more below 16 than in the first volume.  How long can the torture go on?

 

The full frame 1.33 X 1 image is a bit soft in the style of this kind of animation that I never like and never get used to.  The source material and final transfers are clean and the show which is what should be expected for a recent production, though some faux focus blurring is interesting.  The sound offers English and Japanese language tracks as usual, Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo in both cases as well, but any kinds of Pro Logic surrounds are very limited.  That is a disappointment.  The only extra is the opening without text and three previews for other Geneon DVDs, too typical of limited extras from Geneon.
