The shortest way to sum up this anime, even though i've watched it over and over again for 4 times it still remains an EPIC MASTERPIECE
I was never introduced to any of the tenchi series, even though i knew about them, they felt very old so i really didn't bother. This was the first one I watched, and i have to say, it has really brought me through one heck of a joyride. First of, this anime really is quite different from the others, where it is a 45minutes episode airing once a month. So even thoguh it is a 13 episoded anime, the actually length is like that of a 26 episodes anime. However, i personally feel that the experience feels much longer than that, because the leght per episode is doubled, they managed to make each episode feel somewhat like a short movie and a lot of things could be fit in, in that duration.
This is a story of kenshi, who is also assoicated to tenchi from the tenchi series and he was summoned to this fantasy world where seikishi's exist. Turns out he's a super powerful male seikishi who was purposely sent to save this world during time of crisis. There are 2 major arcs to this story, where the first part, he works as a servant in a school who's attended by royalties and seikishi pilots, he's to keep his real identity a secret due to several reasons. There isn't much focus in fighting, but instead the first arcs was used to introduce us to all the characters and this fantasy world, kenshi didn't even once get to get into a seikishi once he entered school, i really feel the directors of this anime were teasing us, as I remembered the first time i watced this anime, i was containing myself, waiting eagerly for kenshi to fight in his seikishi but it is totally worth it, since his debut and the end of the first arc is super epic. the second arc is more about adventuring the world of seikishi, and planning with the other countries to defeat the bad guy.
I wouldn't say the story is too complicated or anything, but there are a few plot twists but for those who's never watched other tenchi series, this anime only uses mild references from the other series, so it won't affect you watching experience that much. One more thing I realized, is that this is definitely a PG15 anime, There aren't any explicit gory/hentai secenes or any nipple slips but some scenes are actually kinda mentally erotic, i mean it may be hard to understand what i'm saying but to put it in a simpler way, you know some of the characters actually had sex.
The art and sound is AMAZING, i'm not exagerating, the background art is always like a piece of art, they didn't use much 3d which is good. the building structures is unique and it really feels like a completely foreign world. The music feels classical but it corresponds with the scenes well.
even though there are a lot of characters, almost all of them develop well, You will be able to find a liking to each one and my favourite is Aura the dark elf because I think she had the most screen time for romance development but everyone has their own preferences. Note that this is a hardcore harem anime, where everyone falls for the MC, and there are not many male characters who aren't douches.
Enjoyment, i really can't complement enough. This is definitely top 3 in my list, and I wish they would make a second, not just tease us with a hint of S2 at the end of the 2nd arc. For those who enjoy fantasy harems then don't miss this, a fun filled epic journey of kenchi, a mix of school life, romance, comedy, drama, harem, mecha, fantasy, adventure anime, ISEKAI SEIKISHI NO MONOGATARI :)
Ps, please let there be a season 2(insert crying smiley), i would pay 100 bucks per episode just get the same experience again LOL
