Anyone who thinks that Tenjho Tenge has a profound, life-changing story to tell, or a groundbreaking new approach to animation, will be sadly disappointed. But if they're looking for a good example of the schoolyard fight-and-fanservice genre, then this is the series to pick up. With Studio Madhouse at the top of their game and intense fight scenes that don't buckle under the weight of fanservice, this is a show that manages to entertain without being overtly offensive or stupid. Just don't worry about story or depth for a while, and let the battle begin.

Given the popularity of the franchise, Bandai's dub for the series is a disappointment. It has its strengths—it's immensely faithful—and some of the performances, particularly Mark Oliver's brief reprise of his role as Rau le Creuset and Samuel Vincent's more mature Athrun, are quite strong, but the work as a whole is brought down by Matt Hill's performance as Kira, along with a general softness in the cast as a whole.
