Based on the popular video game, this animated feature expands the playing field, so to speak, with a story about a mysterious warrior who is tracking down all the champions of previous Toshin battle tournaments. The warrior uses the winners' highly developed battle moves to become the undefeated Toshin champion. Can anyone challenge the ultimate warrior? Only the most devoted Sega and Sony Playstation addicts will want to know... --Jeff Shannon

This review is from: Battle Arena Toshinden [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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....

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, July 10, 2003

This review is from: Battle Arena Toshinden (DVD)

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).

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Anime., June 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Battle Arena Toshinden [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Really goes deep into the Toshinden series, from Kayin and his father's death, to Gaia and his secret daughter Ellis. I wouldn't recommend this for children under 13 years of age, because of the violence. Otherwise, a wonderful well made anime. I rank this a 4 star movie.
