Title:Tenchi UniverseGenre:Sci-fi/RomanceCreator:Kajishima Masaki/AIC

Distributor:GeneonDVD Info:26 episodes, 8 DVD'sSummary: Tenchi is a boy who has five girls living in his house with him, each vying for his affection: Ayeka, the princess of the Jirai empire; her sister Sasami; Ryoko, the dreaded space pirate; the inept Galaxy Policewoman Mihoshi; and Washuu, the most brilliant scientist in the universe. Also on hand for the sake of cute is the creature known as Ryo-oki, a half-cat, half-rabbit that can transform into a spacecraft. And let’s not forget Tenchi’s sometimes-clueless dad and his cool grandpa, who is a Shinto priest. This series also adds two new characters--Kiyone, who's Mihoshi's much more competent partner; and Naggai, a female bounty hunter who's been tailing Ryoko.

The Good:This is the best of the entireTenchi Muyosaga. It's filled with action and humor.

The Bad:As with the previous series, the changes to the storyline can be somewhat confusing.

Offensive Material:Light violence and references to Shintoism.

My Review:(out of 4)4.0 Age Rating: B (Borderline. Parental Guidance Suggested.)

Note:The Tenchi Muyo trilogy consists of these cartoons: the Tenchi Muyo! OVAs, Tenchi Universe, and Tenchi in Tokyo. Movie. The same cast also appears in the series Pretty Sammy, a parody of Sailor Moon. Geneon has added all the Tenchi titles to its Signature Series line. Masaki also created Dual Parallel Trouble Adventure.
