Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the beginning of the third Tenchi series. Tenchi Muyo has a very enthusiastic following and may be the most popular series in Japanese anime. It has excellent graphics and very good character development. It is designed for age 13 to adult, and seems to capture the hearts of people of all ages. There are many web "shrines" dedicated to the various characters.
The series begins with Tenchi leaving home to go to school in Tokyo, and his admirers are not happy about it. Although Tenchi thinks of himself as an ordinary boy of seventeen, he is actually descended from the crown prince of the Planet Jurai. He also seems to attract the affections of beautiful and powerful women. Through a variety of circumstances a notorious space pirate, Ryoko; and her rival, Aeka, the first princess of Jurai have become house guests at Tenchi's Father's home. They are both madly in love with Tenchi and constantly fight over him. Since they both possess supernatural powers, these arguments can be quite disruptive; and Tenchi is glad to be starting a new life in Tokyo.
Two new major characters are introduced in this series -- Sakuya a cute classmate, and Yugi a supernatural being of unknown intent.
This series is more stylized than previous Tenchi series in character drawings and actions. Although I prefer the style of the previous series, I find this one quite enjoyable. There is still a lot going on behind the scenes, and the character's personalities are still being explored.
