4.0 out of 5 stars Romantic, funny... another Tenchi Classic, September 25, 2002

This review is from: Tenchi in Tokyo: A New Career (DVD)

Of the different continuities in the Tenchi Muyo Anime this is the one I liked the least. Actually, I take that back; "Pretty Sammy" is the worst. I thought I should get the stuff I don't like out of the way. In "Tenchi in Tokyo" the animation is ghetto, and the subject matter seems less mature than the "Tenchi Muyo" and "Tenchi Universe" continuities but there is some stuff here that Toonami, in their cowardice of mature themes, cut from the OAV which you now get to see. Yeah, yeah the art isn't that great; this doesn't make it a bad seires to add to your collection however. In fact, in spite of the drawbacks I've singled out here it's still a great romantic comedy Anime.

All the girls still love Tenchi, and as is the norm in the other Tenchi shows, Ryoko and Ayeka can't stop fighting over him. Now they have even more competition, a cute girl named Sakuya works her way into Tenchi's heart, which makes for hillarious moments between all of the original Tenchi characters. We also get to enjoy more of Mihoshi's unerring ability to drive Kiyone nuts.

Without giving too much away, I just want to say that overall I forgot about the crummy animation in favor of the story which is classic Tenchi. It's emotionally involving, funny and very fun to watch and I reccomend this to anybody. Just be warned that you've proably already seen better artwork in the other timelines.

I gave it four stars becasue of the lesser-quality art. I should give it 5 just for not being "Pretty Sammy", but 4 is good.

Without giving too much away, I just want to say that parts of this show were immature to me, but hey, it's a cartoon right? Tenchi and Tenchi Universe have their dopey moments too. Overall I forgot about the crummy animation in favor of the story which is classic Tenchi. It's involving, funny and very fun to watch and I reccomend this to anybody. Just be warned that the art in this is not even close to Tenchi and Tenchi Universe.

I gave it four stars becasue of the art. I should give it 5 just for not being "Pretty Sammy", but 4 is good.

This review is from: Tenchi in Tokyo: A New Career (DVD)

Yugi's plan is going perfectly. Mihoshi and Kiyone have gone undercover to arrest Ryoko, everybody thinks Ayeka has gone nuts, Washu is nowhere to be found and Tenchi is too busy with his new love life to care.
But cracks are showing in Yugi's perfect little world. Mihoshi and Kiyone seem to have doubts and may wish to reform Ryoko. Ayeka seems to be exploring the old tomb found earlier, trying to find clues to what Yugi IS and even Washu's research seems to be focused on Yugi. It seems Washu is making progress, linking the Yugi Sasami knows as a friend and the Yugi that attacked the household. Even Sakuya seems to be losing control over Tenchi and her own memories. The problem being, of course, is that she HAS no memories.
Is it too late? Will Yugi win even while the truth becomes known? And which side does Sakuya TRULY belong on?
