Despite the short length of episodes, Tenchi Muyo is a great OVA series for those looking for the sci-fi comedy. Oh there's action and romance but you will stay for ladies.
Story: It runs a gambit of many things but sci-fi comedy really is the best description. You'll get a laugh out this crazy bunch and some might even make you cry once you learn more about them.
Art: The character design is a superb work for a nineties anime. While some may be a bit more round than what you'd expect, it's more of minor detail in the grand scheme. The backgrounds do help in establishing where and when things are happening and at time, you do wanna take in the scenery.
Sound: Oh my god the OST is beautiful. It just makes you wanna relax and just let it enter your brain. The action ost does well in establishing drama but its the music outside of that that you wanna listen to.
Character: As is in harem anime, its mostly about the girls but this is the anime that helped set the standard for the sub genre. The women leave great impressions on you and the male lead is not that bad.
Enjoyment: I greatly enjoyed this when it premiered in the US on Toonami and it helped grow my interest in anime at the time.
Overall: Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki is a great if short introduction to anime and the harem sub-genre. If you're into something that is a bit more relaxed but still crazy then try it out.
9.87/10. The Carnival is just beginning and waiting for you.
