it seem to be a symol of anger or of behaving in a rough/violent nature, as some of the girls in Tenchi tend to do... like they turn into an animal of some sort.

Yeah, it's a characteristic frequently found in the more ferocious characters (Tasuki in Fushigi Yuugi and Ryoga from Ranma 1/2 come to mind)--gives them a more wild look. Other than that, I know quite a lot of my guy Asian friends that have prominent canines XD

Yes, it may also help to give the teeth a 3-D look, when the canines form the corners. But I'm no anime expert.
