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. ~_~

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.

(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.

Magical Girl Sammy (Shikkoku no Mahou Shoujou Toujou Sami) is a very cute parody of Sailor Moon. As a Tenchi fan I had to see it, but it was much better than expected.

The regular Tenchi cast is there, but all in new roles, but with satirical references to their space opera personas. Center stage is Sasami for a change. Such a cute, perfect kid. Makes a good role model for kids ^_^

Sammy is extra complicated because 4 different versions of it exist. Pretty Sammy originated in a follow-up to the Tenchi Muyo OVA called the "Mihoshi Special" and later re-appeared in one of the fantasy within a fantasy episodes of the Tenchi Universe Series. (It was Sasami's dream to be Pretty Sammy). Next came the OVA, which is what this tape is from. Later a TV series followed.

Those really into Tenchi, Sailor Moon and Anime/Manga will appreciate the insider jokes. The producers, artists and seiyu had a lot of fun with this one. The English dub is actually pretty good (but who can compare with Sasami's Japanese voice actress Chisa Yokoyama?). The music is very cute as well. ^_^

Don't want to spoil things by revealing the story line. Shoujo (Japanese Girl Anime) and Tenchi fans will want to get this. Did I say it was cute?

This Tenchi spin-off is very funny, especially if you know your anime. Even the title is a parody! (Magical Angel Creamy Mami) It mocks and makes fun off magical girl series like Sailor Moon, but is also very enjoyable if you haven't seen any anime before (I've tried it on some friends). For Tenchi fans, this one may be a bit confusing, since though the cast remains almost the same, many roles has been changed. Sasami is Tenchi's sister, for one. But enough banter. This is funny funny funny!!! Buy it now! ^_^

Sasami finally has her own show it's not copying sailor moon in my opion. the storyline is a bit different than tenchi universe sasami and tenchi are sister and brother sasami and tenchi both have a different mother. kiyone and mihoshi work at a cd shop insted od galaxcy police. aeka is not i repeat not the princess of jurai. washu is a girl who's parents left her.ryoko a delinkwent (of corse) plus they interduse a new charater "misao" aka "pixy misa". tsnami and sasami are not the same person. tsami is a canadite for being the qween of juraihill. ramia who is tsami's rival is jevlos so she made misao turn into pixy misa to get into pretty sammy way. the whole thing is get i recomend this tape and Magical project s which is a longer subtitled verson of this.

Tenchi's produced some weird stuff, but THIS was'nt just weird, it paid tribute to the greatest anime ever. SAILRO MOON1

I first caught a glimpse of Pretty sammy during the "time and space" trilogy transmitted on TenchI Universe, a lot of people would think this a paroday, but by watching it you'll soon think different. I t stands on it's own as well as spoffinmg where it came from.

Amd ryo-oki's in it! wooooo

This video is great if you love anime. On the video it says suggested 3 and up, but it's great for people of all ages. I watch this video over and over. It's one of the best animes I have seen ever seen before. So get off of your bootay and buy it!!

1st this is really vol.1. i have all 3 of the pretty sammy vidos and vol.3 is pretty sammy 3 super kiss at least thats what it say on the cover.well it starts off you see tsunami is the 1st canadent for queen and ramia is the 2end.well before tsunami can become queen she has to pick a person to do good deeds on earth and thats were sasaim comes in tsumami picks her. so sasimi or pretty sammy has to do a number of deeds before sasami can become the queen and i think i rember ramia saying not in this vido but anther that if tsunami becoms queen then sasami well be the 2end canadent but i dont know. so rami decids to make a migical girl of her own. she picks sasami best friend misao.but when misao changes over her own free will she cant rember enthing. its like misao blacks out and pixy misa is born. so its not misaos fault for what pixy misa does--k. well misa is causeing trouble for sammy its just anther problem in sasamis life. o theres also rryo-ohki sasamis parter u proble know ryo-ohki form tenchi but in the pretty sammy series he can talk. thats anther thing in tench series ryo-ohki is a girl but in pretty sammy ryo-ohkis a boy. well its a great movie so order it
