The tone of this sci-fi jiggle comedy is closer to Steel Angel Kurumi and other "fan service" series than to the original Tenchi Muyo! and its many sequels. One-man destruction derby Seina Yamada succeeds in winning a berth at the elite Galactic Police Academy, but has to compete against cadets who have undergone "body enhancement" procedures. Despite the risks, Seina insists on getting biosurgical modification. Once the program begins, he moves out of the cadet dorm and into a house with resident babes Kiriko, Amane and Erma, a triple "Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson" set-up that rouses the envy of Seina's fellow students. However, the sight of three scantily clad adult females pursuing barely pubescent Seina is not for the squeamish. Although this series has only minimal ties to the popular Tenchi continuity, disaster-prone but well-intentioned Seina continues to win fans in America. (Rated 13 and older: risqué humor, nudity, cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars Badluck_Goodluck... Take your pick., June 6, 2004

This review is from: Tenchi Muyo GXP - Academy Life (Vol. 2) (DVD)

Although this story is excelent in and of itself, it is HIGHLY encouraged that those who have GXP get themselves the Tenchi Muyo OVA series. (Currently spanning thirteen episodes and promises to continue in the not too distant future.) Fans of the original Tenchi muyo will get the most out of this with all their insight and knowledge behind some seemingly unnoticed comment or fact. (Those who know OVA episode thirteen know Seryio. JUSTICE! MUAHAHAHA!) The BGM is excelent in my oppinion (My personal favorite being the Mikagami's appearance from the first DVD... ) and for the most part keeps up with the story. Animation is spectacular, looking to be a combination of older style animation for most scenes, and '3D' modeling for the ships and other objects of that nature. (I don't doubt both are done VIA computer now.) English voice acting talent fits the characters quite well, and is done superbly. Characterizations feel like they actually belong to that character for REAL. I still suggest you watch it in japanese and subtittled, as to match the lip-flapping, they had to edit dialogue. I personally can't wait until the rest of this is released. (Especially the episode which cameos the original Tenchi cast... whichever one that was...) This is WORTH the buy if you're a Tenchi fan. If you're unfamilliar... Get the Tenchi Muyo OVA first.

This review is from: Tenchi Muyo GXP - Academy Life (Vol. 2) (DVD)

Seina Yamada finds himself in trouble when he can't keep up with the training. He could fail P.E. unless he gets his body enhanced! And when he does, things REALLY become tricky. You see, the enhancement makes you stronger, faster and tougher - it changes you completely. That explains why Mihoshi from the OVA can survive crashing her spaceships all the time. But the changes force you to learn how to do everything all over again - walking, running, standing up, cleaning, everything!
So Amane decides to help him by having him come live with her. It seems simple - he will do daily chores and learn how to control his body again. But things are not what they seem - Amane's roommates are Kiriko and Erma. It seems everybody wants to be with him while at the same time they don't really trust each other. Seiryo is less than happy, but who cares what he thinks?
In the last episode Amane's parents even show up and we learn why she joined the GP. The screwed up, out of control, NB robot adds some to the humor (but not much). Think Benny Hill want-to-be.
I gave it a four, because while it was funny and interesting, and I got to see "Washu's Pore", it only had three episodes, 75 minutes, while the first DVD had FIVE episodes. The same extras also. So, buy this USED and only if you are ALREADY a fan of the anime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny, May 18, 2004

This review is from: Tenchi Muyo GXP - Academy Life (Vol. 2) (DVD)

The second disk of Tenchi Muyo GXP is very funny its all about laughs in this one and not very much plot. Amane though is a little perverted though. You have to look that over though. One of the funniest things in this disk is the MB unit. It smokes which is really funny. The show is a must have for any Tenchi fan. The dubbing is just as good as the first one and the animation is still great. The only problem I have is the extras except for some new trailers it is the exact same as before. Overall the disk is good very funny.
