It all starts when Tenchi disobeys his Grandfather and investigates his family's secret cave, where it's said a monster sleeps. After a bit of falling over, Tenchi finds what appears to be a mummy, and accidentally awakens it! However, when it finally catches up with him after school, the Mummy turns out to be a beautiful young woman named Ryoko, a space pirate imprisoned in the cave by Tenchi's ancestor, Yosho. With said ancestor long gone, Tenchi becomes a legitimate target, and she starts chasing him around school. However, even when Tenchi barely survives the encounter, a ship is on its way to Earth, intent on capturing Ryoko and punishing her allies... So begins Tenchi Muyo, and these first 3 OAV's are undoubtedly the best. The tale of one man being pursued by many alien babes is nothing new - Urusei Yatsura was doing it years ago, but Tenchi added something new to the formula. Exactly what that was I'm not sure 
- perhaps the lavish design, strong storyline and sylish characters
was one aspect to it, or maybe it just arrived at the right time.The animation is solid, the music is wonderfully atmospheric and the dub is great! All the voice actors really seem to relish their roles, especially after the first two episodes. Real effort has gone into giving each of the characters a distinctive voice, and it adds a real feeling of atmosphere to the whole production. To sum up, if you're an anime fan and you haven't got this, you're missing out - go get it! 10/10 - Wonderful character driven drama/comedy. Well worth finding. Back to Menu |
