The prevalent younger age demographic of today's anime viewer may not be familiar with this classic title... but for the slightly older fan this series brings back the memories.

Like the many generic" harem animes" studios seem to spit out every season... this series too has an unlikely hero who suddenly finds himself surrounded by a multitude of hot babes... but that is the only common factor that this classic shares with its modern brethren of failures.

This series is an example of a harem done right with enough story and action to propel it into the category of "something special."

I'm writing this review about episode 1-13 of the original OVAs.
The last 7 episodes were written in order to accomodate the GXP storyline and were created over 10 years later, so I personally consider them almost a separate series.
This is my favorite anime...period. I know I'm not in the majority on this, but it succeeds on every level. It is the definitive "harem" anime, while maintaining a great plot and fascinating universe/backstory. The fact that each of the women have complex and fascinating pasts and facets to their character is something unique to this genre. It's heartwarming, romantic, raunchy, ...

I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of relationship comedy anime outside of a few exceptional examples (for me, those would be Nodame Cantabile's first season and Maison Ikkoku) but I did thoroughly enjoy this OVA. The jokes hit the mark more often than they don't and the way in which it mixes a mock-serious sci-fi story with a bunch of very silly subplots is what makes it stand out.

To begin with, the plot. It's a somewhat standard "hopeless boy surrounded by diverse girls embodying different fantasies" comedy on the surface, although the girls are a more interesting bunch than "cute one, tsundere, sister figure ...

This has got to be the best series I have ever seen, it's a combination of almost every single genre and I guarantee that anyone watching will get attached to the genre that they find most interesting.

The story is great and it reels you in from the first episode, where Tenchi stumbles upon Ryoko.

The art is also different from other anime series and there are a lot of backgrounds that are really well done, as well as the character designs.

The sound is amazing, the voice actors for the English version have really given their characters personality (the same could ...

Do note that my review for Tenchi Muyo covers the full length of the OVAs as they aired during the 1990s, meaning this covers the first 13 episodes of the OVA series. That said, let us get on with the review.

Focusing on Tenchi Masaki's interactions with several alien girls living at his household, the Tenchi Muyo OVAs are well known among older anime fans for having popularized the harem genre and would go on to spawn a number of spinoff titles throughout the 1990s thanks to its immense popularity with fans. Tenchi Muyo sticks out rather prominently from many titles of the harem genre as ...

History is here. The Grandfather of Harem Anime. And yet There's No Need For Tenchi?

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 ...

Tenchi Muyou Ryououki is a classic cult must watch no matter how much you will like it or not.

It's most plot devices come from the golden era of 80s anime, the art is magnificent, the story simple and alien in its originality.

The art is magnificent and original. Well drawn. Introduces all sorts of new things you can't grasp and you can't take your eyes from, things that are beautiful and which do not follow any kind of anime pattern.

The characters are not over exaggerated, even though most of their lines from time to time are forced, they connect with each other as if ...

Tenchi Muyo! An anime I've grown up on. Going back and re-watching it, even though it was a favorite growing up, I have to give it a fair review. This series received a seven in my book.

Story: Though it isn't fully explained in these six episodes, Tenchi Muyo! has a very complex story line. There are many back stories that link together, but the stories are hard to tie together until the viewer has learned about most of them. Even to this day I don't know many of the mysteries of Tenchi Muyo! even though I have been watching this series since I was 12-years-old. ...

I grew up watching the Tenchi Muyo series, at least the edited/censored version that was on Toonami back in the early 2000s and well, I really enjoyed, but is the first Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki OVA really as great as I remember it being? Let's find out!

Story:
Given that this is an OVA and there's only like 6 episode, I'm gonna say that there's not much of a story being told, at least not like most other harem animes or sci fi animes youi'd find nowadays. What's the story? 17 year old Tenchi, who is your seemingly normal average high school teen, decides to sneaks into a ...

The definitive Harem anime that spawned a boatload of tropes! And best of all--the fanservice is relatively minimal!

This bizarre but thoroughly fun Science Fantasy rom-com is sadly not widely known by a lot of young folks nowadays. It's definitely not for the kids since there is some nudity, though it feels far more natural and less gratuitous than the cringe-worthy breast physics present in today's trope-filled torrent of junk we need to sift through nowadays, plus some dialogue can get EXTREMELY suggestive. ("I need a sperm sample! How should I get it?" Give the poor kid some privacy!) Every character, from what I can tell, ...

*SPOILER FREE*

I haven't been making many reviews, recently. I've been going through some personal issues, as of late. I was in rehab for a couple of months, because I got addicted to soap, but now I'm clean. HA! You see, that's how you start off the new year, son! Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki. My second favorite harem show next to the Monogatari series. At first glance, Tenchi Muyo seems like a trashy harem comedy that just happens to be a sci-fi. However, if you peel back all of the layers and take a deeper look you get...a trashy harem comedy that just happens to be a ...
