Genre: comedy (could be considered
romantic/sci-fi) Length: 100 minutes (4 episodes) Audience
Age: 12+ (this is not the Cartoon
Network version)
Opinion: Interesting
to see the newer attitudes of the great, established characters from the
previous series.
This is a review of the dubbed, out of print VHS version.
This is one of the most popular titles in all of anime
spawning multiple spin off series and films.
Anyone who knows anything about
anime knows of "Tenchi Muyo!" It is great to know that high quality
Japanimation can crossover into the mainstream since it is now part of
Cartoon Network's
Toonami line up.
Great writing, a cool art style, and very neurotic characters put this
series above the Japanese standby situation of a normal guy in an unusual
scenario with three or more unstable women.
Unfortunately, American producers
feel any show that is imported from another country must make sacrifices
to become mainstream. I will not even tell you where the producers can
stick this idea. Tenchi just is not Tenchi without the sake jokes, the
brief comedic nude scenes, and other jokes that are more or less meant
for a PG-13 audience, so if you can afford to, buy at least one of the
Tenchi Muyo! videos to see how much better it can be when you have
a little more open sense of humor.
