Ryoko can be such a b**ch, but she still one of my favorite Tenchi characters, I just hope she doesn't wind up alone at the end (assuming there isn't a harem ending of course).

Watched the dub of this when it aired on Toonami years ago.
Now I'm watching the subs and realize I don't remember a thing from before.

But yeah, it was a pretty good episode to start the series.
Tenchi is how old exactly? It's not even stated in the episode.
And he burned the WHOLE school down?
What's he going to do now?

I don't think they ever say, but I always assumed 15-16.

Great start! I like the changes they made from the OVA, and I love the pacing. It got right to it from the start.

I'm excited to see where they take this version, and if Tenchi will play a similar part in it as he did in the OVA.

Urahara Out!!

This is were Ryoko the pirate crashes to Earth chased by that blonde girl, the Galatic cop, who looks a lot like the blonde from Mayo Chiki without the wolf ears, I have to get her name.

Definitely one of my favorite shows! I think I actually like Tenchi Muyou TV (Tenchi Universe in the US) better than the original OVA, but only a little bit more ^_-*. Good episode pretty funny! Ryoko and Mihoshi are both awesome. Though they kinds dumbed down Mihoshi in this show. My favorite part was when Tenchi was complaining about boarding up the house to defend it from the "evil space pirate" and then Noboyuki (Tenchi's Dad) tell him to "Always put off to tomorrow what you can do today!... oh wait that didn't come out right..." XD XD XD

Its a great start to a good anime! Tenchi is a large part of my past and will always forever be one of my fave's!

Man, I haven't seen this show since I saw it on Toonami back in the early 2000s. I remember this being on pretty frequently next to DBZ and Sailor Moon. Finally giving this a full watch since I've watched the OVAs like a year ago and enjoyed them.

This was very nostalgic to watch. I love the goofy humor and animation style. I love how 90s anime look and feel, I can't quite put my finger on what it is that I find so charming about it. Again, that's probably nostalgia, haha.

Fun first episode, can't wait to watch the rest of the series.

Finished the 90s ovas wich were actually enjoyable but had a wierd pacing,was more fun when it was about the harem and not the villians, and didnt explain some stuff properly. This one looks promising and the fact Im already familiar with the main characters helps even more.


And the op is fantastic!

Mayne, when was the last time I saw this? Idk so that's why a fella is re-watching it lol. One of the things I like about Tenchi in general is how the aesthetic is so Asian/Japanese y'know? There's outer space and I like that stuff too, but everything from the OP to the main protagonist is at its core Japanese.

Ryoko is the first woman Tenchi meets. And she's already forward and playful lol. Mihoshi is such an airhead, but the camera made sure to get an ass shot. With these two, you can already tell what roles they'll be playing from the first episode.

&++ that ED is nice. Golly, Ryoko, sing it girl!

space pirate is sooo seductive in nature.

yeahhh baby. thats the stuff.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.
