Summary: One of the best anime movie ever!
Review: Blalantly put the Tenchi series is flat out incredible. It has a perfect blend of romance, humor, action, and storyline. This movie is a bit more on the serious side compared to the others. But it is still very impressive. There isn't a boring part in the movie. Ryoko and Ayeka's feud is hilarious. Mihoshi as a teacher......what else needs to be said. KAIN kinda reminds me of Zerim from Iria........

Summary: No Need For A Review
Review: Simply put--Tenchi The Movie 1: Tenchi Muyo In Love is one of my all-time favorite Anime movies. I love everything about Tenchi (the comedy, the characters, the battle scenes--everything), and I was not disappointed with this movie. First, the animation. It's beautiful. Flawless. Everything is so well drawn--very nice. You just HAVE to see it to know what I'm talking about. Second, the dubbing. Dubbing is a big problem with most anime, but not Tenchi. It just never has been. ALL the characters have AMAZING voice actors (especially Petrea Burchard who does Ryoko). But what's a movie without a great story? Tenchi The Movie delivers a rock-solid story. It may be a little simple, but it delivers nonetheless. Evil force Kain has escaped from his prison and destroys Galaxy Police HQ, then goes to earth and back in time to eliminate Achika Masaki, Tenchi's mom. If Kain were to succeed, there would be no Tenchi, no Kasami family line, and none of Tenchi's friends would have met. Knowing this, scientific genius Washu sends Tenchi, Ryoko (my favorite female anime character of all time, by the way), Ayeka, Sasami, Mihoshi, Kiyone, and Ryo-Ohki back in time to put a stop to Kain. Thankfully, none of the characters lose their charm in this film--Ryoko and Ayeka are constantly bickering, Kiyone is still frustrated and all too serious, Sasami and Ryo-Ohki are still adorable, and Mihoshi is still an airhead. It was also a nice treat to see what Achika was really like, as well as Nobuyuki (Tenchi's dad) as a shy dreamer (!) instead of his usual comedic self. If I did have one complaint, however, it's that I felt that the movie could have had more humor to it. The series is hilarious (to say the very least), but the humor is substituted for a more serious tone. That's not to say Tenchi The Movie doesn't have its moments though--Ryoko and Ayeka have a hilarious scene in a train, and Mihoshi is, well, still Mihoshi (four words: Mihoshi as a teacher!). And that's not to say its serious tone is a bad thing, as you'll find out, the story is very good. All in all, you cannot miss this if you're a Tenchi fan or just a fan of anime in general, as Tenchi The Movie 1: Tenchi Muyo In Love is one of the best Anime movies I have ever seen.

Summary: What turned me to Tenchi
Review: I've never really been totally in Love with the Tenchi series, the stories never seemed serious enough for me. Of course I liked it, and watched it whenever I could, but it was never like an obsession. Then I saw this moive. I can honestly say that this is one of the best anime movies I have ever seen. The musical scores in this movie were absolutly wonderful, making you feel the movie deeply. The plot was fantastic, and the animation was some of the best I've seen. Though the main plot line was very deep and serious, the characters were there to balance it out with comedy.(Poor Kiyona...) Probably what made this movie the best was Atchika. She is now one of my all time favorite anime girls! Not only is she hilarious when she wants to be, but she is also loving and mature, and she really knows how to use a sword! ^_^ I wouldn't recommend this film for younger audiences, but only becuase the plot may be a little hard to follow. (oh yeah, and pieces of GP special aggents get to be a little sickening.) Watch out for the tear jerker at the end if you're an emotional person, keep a box of tissues handy! Even if you're not a diehard Tenchi fan, you should still get this movie. You more then likely won't regret it.

Summary: Best Movie ever!
Review: As expressed in the title, I belive this is the BEST movie ever made, let alone the best of the Tenchi movies. I have yet to witness the other movies but I can't comprehend the fact that it could be possible to make a better Tenchi movie. The movie starts when a A-1 class criminal with the code name KAIN escapes from a subspace prison cell in the GP headquarters resulting in it's (GP headquarters') destruction. "Kain's" goal is to eliminate all juri presence because they, with the help from the GP sentenced him to his 100 years of imprisonment for which he is none too happy. So he attacks Tenchi's family in a odd but effective manner, through Time! It is up to Tenchi and the girls through Washu's technical genius to eliminate Kain's unwanted disturbances in time. The visual quality of this film alone is worth it, let alone the Awesome story, good balance between humor and seriousness, and nice soundtrack. This is a must buy, for Anime fans, Tenchi fans and the common person alike! p.s. Ryoko is the BEST!

Summary: I Spit Upon It
Review: Tenchi Muyo is one of the top 3 reasons why I have begun to intensely dislike Japanime. Mostly because, often, it had no plot whatsoever and just annoyed the hell out of me. However, I was conned into watching this horrible video, which I am proud to say I burned afterwards. Anything with the Tenchi name upon it needs to be thrown into a pit and burned for being an offense to writers everywhere. And I swear if I hear that stupid noise that Rabbit-Rat thing makes ever again, i'm going to find it and shoot it.

Summary: Exemplifies the "Classic Modern" Anime
Review: Tenchi Muyo in Love, aside from being the best all-around production of the Tenchi line of anime, rivals even the best anime classics of all time. It is a story told with all the elements otakus have come to expect from good anime plot construct - visual and semantic humor, romance, science fiction, character development, and the embodiment of the classical struggle between good and evil in man's free will. Specifically to Tenchi fans, this movie offers a solid, satisfying glimpse into the life of Tenchi's mother, Achika Masaki, and his father Nobuyuki when they were Tenchi's age. Upon realizing that Achika has started to disappear in all the old films made by Nobuyuki 26 years ago, galaxy-class genius Washu discovers that an evil force code-named KAIN was responsible for wiping out the Masaki family in the past. Thus, Tenchi and his entire harem embark on a mission to save the past - and in turn preserve their own existences. The movie presents mature content without sacrificing the jovial traits fans have come to expect from Tenchi and the girls. Ryoko and Ayeka's bickering over Tenchi, Mihoshi's bubbleheadedness, Kiyone's exaggerated seriousness, and Sasami/Ryo-ohki's plain-and-simple cuteness are just a few things that are kept very much intact. The gradual development of the relationship between Achika and Nobuyuki, while corny at times, succeeds ultimately to paint a picture of their innocent love. The simple but solid plot twists carries the story to a very Jurai-esque climax and bittersweet resolution. It ends with Nobuyuki taking a group shot of the Tenchi family (it is only natural that he employs a Pioneer videocamera, perfectly drawn, to do this.) Tenchi the Movie provides a refreshingly new aspect of "love" in Tenchi for the audience, his love for his mother. You get all this and still can expect to laugh your head off! From the surprisingly unique introduction sequence that sets the scene (expect time travel to be confusing), to the smooth transition to the main plot, to the clever ways in which some events are revealed in achronological order, the concept of the non-linearity of time is sustained. Some very interesting techniques to look out for: the black-and-white film at the beginning of the movie that forms the complication of the plot is re-enacted in color when the team goes back to the past, Washu's occasional messages are broken up into chunks of audio flashback, the scrambling of past and present in the last moments brings the whole to a finality. The wide spectrum of plots, themes, and cinematic techniques in this movie will appeal to a universal audience - diehard Muyoite, animation aesthete, or otherwise. Without a doubt, it numbers among the best in classic modern Japanese animation.

Summary: All Tenchi viewers should see this
Review: This Tenchi Movie, Tenchi Muyo in Love, follows the Tenchi Universe series. The story can get confusing if you have not seen the series, but that is what also makes the story so intricate and complex like a psychological thriller in some ways. The story is very easy to follow and is very fun. The characters Tenchi, Ryoko, Sasami, Mihoshi, Kiyone, and Washu are back and better than ever. The revolves around Tenchi's mother and a bad guy. Music is very beautiful and fits the movie very well. Animation is very smooth and colorful. Everything looks awesome and crisp. Buy this movie.
