Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: Battle Arena Toshinden is based off the short lived Fighting game that was here in America (and was part of the Playstation opening lineup). In the Anime it is about Eiji searching out his brother SHo. In the Meantime the Organization (Run by Uranus) is trying to gather Data on the Toshinden Warriors in order to create the ultimate killing machine. To battle the ORganization Eiji, Kayin, Sofia, Tracey and Gaia all team up to take the organization down after they attack and put in the hoispital Ellis.

The fight sequences are typcial Anime but still real cool to watch (if you are into Action Anime). It fits right in if you are a Fan of Street Fighter, Tekken, or Fatal Fury. IT will not appeal to everyone because it is more about the fights than plot but than again most bond films are the same way and no one complains. THis is a decent anime that is worth watching at least once (or owning like I do).

Summary: decent.
Review: Done by Masami Obari, the man behind Fatal Fury, Battle Arena Toshinden is yet another fighting game-based anime. The action scenes are okay as usual with Obari's work, and the dub is, well, what you'd expect from a dub. The story was flat out average, although I do admit there were a few good parts. On the minus side, the climax was pretty generic and turned out to be disappointing. The uncut version features a nice scene with Sofia in the shower, but shoddy artwork ruins it. Uh, anyway, despite those flaws, Toshinden is an above average fighting anime. If you're into action anime or Obari's work, then buy it, if you can't see it first.

Summary: This peice of crap should never see the light of day
Review: I bought this one thinking that, since the video game was of unusualy high quality for a fighter, that the anime would be pretty good, and since that it was directed by Masami Obari (The writer of the heavy weight Fatal Fury series), that it would be awesome. Alas. I brought it home, and my hopes of a good anime were shot to hell within minutes. SERIOUSLY. The logic used in making this one reminds me of something a bunch of five year olds would make. Now, normally, I'm very lineant with the artwork and animation quality of an anime, for I know that not everything can equal up to Akira and Macross Plus in terms of quality, and Toshinden can almost pass my quality chart. The animation isn't bad. The story has a very B movie feel to it, and the dubbing is horrid. The fights are short and consist mostly of the characters flopping around. Any attempts to be dramatic simply doesn't work in this film. Some of the main gripes are with dubbing, but even with a better dub job or with subtitles, nothing is really gained, for the storyline is still bad. The writer of the anime determines how I judge them. If you like Obari's style, then go with the Fatal Fury box set. However, if you just don't like yourself at all, and want to hurt yourself, then buy Toshinden. Trust me, you'll get more entertainment out of taking the Toshinden characters and writing your own fanfic. The story is the most unforgiving part of this anime though. It was made to gain a quick buck by the success of the game. Don't waste your money. But, I know that some of you out there don't really care about the negative reviews, and just want the anime in your hands, and if that's you, then don't cry once you watch this.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not that great
Review: I saw this movie. All they do is fight, until near the end they actually talk for once! It is not worth getting on my appinion. If you want action than get DRAGON BALL Z and stop waisting your time on stupid anime series that take after the games!

Summary: Very Good Action Anime !
Review: I think anyone who likes good anime will enjoy this anime - the characters are extremely well designed (by Masami Obari, one of the best directors/designers in the business), and the action is nonstop. If you like action, you'll love this. END

Summary: Battle Arena Toshinden
Review: I think this movie is one of the best the music is great along with the battles.It has all the characters except Master and you only get a quick glimps of Vermillion all in all it is well worth it. The movie is about a Master Swordsman Eiji Shinjo that has been haunted by the memory of his battle with the renegade champion,Gaia- But now, a mysterious warrior is hunting down the champions of the previous tournament and the person hunting them may be Sho Shinjo (Eiji's brother). Who is this powerful, new foe and who is his next target? Eiji and Kayin-his greatest rival and closest friend- struggle to unravel the mystery before they too, join the ranks of the defeated.At last, the ultimate battle between the greatest fighters in the world will be decided. And the price of victory may be to great....
