Bardiel's Jurai Station Reviews for Tenchi Muyo! How do you describe this series? It takes in aspects of sci-fi, fantasy, and comedy, and mixes them all together without adapting them to fit in with each other. That may sound like your going to get a Saban production, but it some how melds everything together with great stories and characters to create an extremely addicting and entertaining series. There is noway you could dislike any of the characters (well Kione can be a little dull, but thats it) since there personalities are totally distinct and they remain static. Maybe the movies aren't the correct way to go to seeing the series, but it is the cheapest (when you own all of the Neon Genesis Evangelion and Super Atragon videos and a complete subtitled collection of Iria: Zeiram the Animation you could see why I go this way). Anyhow, if you are a huge fan of all anime, atleast one Tenchi video (movie or OAV) in your collection. Just be carefull not to wear out the tape. |
Tenchi Muyo in Love

Tenchi and the girls are watching some home movies of his father which feature Tenchi's mom, Achika. Suddenly his mother disappears from the film and Tenchi is shot through the room before a electrical net catches him that was laid out by "the most brilliant mind in the galaxy" Ms. Washu. She shows the group the film which confirms that something has happened back in 1970 to Atchaka which prevent Tenchi from being born. At the same time, Class A Criminal Kain has escaped Galaxy Police HQ into the space time continueum which destroys the head quarters. His motive, to go back in time and kill the next in the bloodline of the Terai family which in 1970 is Achika. How Spielburgian. Yeah if you've seen any time travel films made in the 80's or 90's you're familiar with the plot, but with characters like this, its seems to be entirely new. The comedy is pretty much none stop till the climax which kind of makes the ending dull, but is still able to keep sci-fi fans interested by making it so the plot is always being built on. The animation and art is great and it doesn't stoop to forshadowing the next generations like James Cameron's second best film Titantic (The Terminator is his best. Ofcourse there is no Billy Zane in that film or DeCaprio). Now the soundtrack has gotten a lot of attention, but its the weakest thing in the film. Tenchi The Movie also allows people who aren't familiar with the series know what's going on, so this means you don't have to buy every episode of the series to be familiarized with the characters. There is indeed better anime movies, Akira (no shi*), Macross Plus, Armitage III, but this is extremely entertaining and it the type film you'll watch over and over again. If your interested in Tenchi series or not, it's still a great anime for anyone.
