5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe they'll import this to U.S. television?, August 27, 2000

This review is from: Tenchi Muyo: Magical Girl Pretty Sammy (Vol. 1) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was expecting a spoof on Sailor Moon and it was even better than that.If you know a little Japanees and you're an Anime fan, you'll see some interesting stuff from the begining.If you are a Tenchi fan you'll see some familiar faces playing diferent parts.(Anime characters treated like actors? Good idea! ) Sasami is Tenchi's little sister in this adventure and the writers made her sound and act like all the little sisters I've known.Tenchi,Ryoko and Ayeka are along for commic relief and Washu,Kiyone'n'Mihoshi play stock character parts. Tsunami enlists Sasami to spread love and peace on earth as Pretty Sammy but the fun starts before then. This is a good video if you like light hearted adventures and you're looking for a break from little Mon-sters.Your kids will even like it.^_- You better hurry I don't know if Pioneer is going to reissue this video.(Damn shame if they don't.)Trying to find a copy of MGPS 2&3 is an adventure in itself. ~_~

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, January 27, 2000

This review is from: Tenchi Muyo: Magical Girl Pretty Sammy (Vol. 1) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Sasami is drafted by Tsunami, the candidate for the queen of the magical kingdom. Sasami transforms into Pretty Sammy using her magical baton and has to use her powers to keep the world a happy place. If she does good, Tsunami will become queen but Pretty Sammy's rival, Pixy Misa is out to make trouble. Excellent Music! especially the opening and closing songs, buy the import soundtrack if you can find it. Also Appearences by Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, Washu, Kiyone, and Mihoshi. This video is hillarious! Highly Recommended if you like anything Tenchi.

3.0 out of 5 stars Of the Pretty Sammy series, not the best, but..., August 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Tenchi Muyo: Magical Girl Pretty Sammy (Vol. 1) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

(I assume this is vol. I of the Pretty Sammy movies. The cover shown is of volume 1, but Amazon has "vol. 3" listed... for this video and the real volume 3) Of the three movies based on the Tenchi spin-off series Magical Project S, this one is probably the worst. The reason why Tsunami enlists Sammy as her champion, and what exactly Tsunami's rival Rumia is up to, is not clear (in fact, you'd have to watch the OVA series in order to understand: In order for Tsunami to become queen of the magical kingdom, her champion must promote so-much goodwill on Earth. If Rumia foils Tsunami's champion, Rumia will become queen instead), and the voice casting for Sammy's best friend Misao and Pixy Misa is a bit annoying; Pixy Misa's Valley Girl accent in the other two specials is much more fitting, and Misao sounds much older than a 9 year old. However, this is most definatly a fun anime to watch. It is filled with the witty tongue-in-cheek humor Tenchi fans have come to expect, and even those who are not familiar with the Tenchi series will get a kick out of the somewhat newly developed characters. All in all, a worthwhile investment.
