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 be said for the Japanese voice actors), and the music in the series is decent, but some of the vocal songs are somewhat unmemorable.
The characters are the main reason I was hooked on this series, each one has a distinct personality and it travels with them throughout the first OVA up to the third, as well as the spin-offs and other forms of media.
I enjoyed watching this series at my pre-teen age and I enjoy it now.
