Summary: Great movie, depending on what your looking for.
Review: If somehow you managed not to ruin the plot for yourself by reading the previous reviews, I'll try to avoid doing so for you.Though this movie was developed as a conclusion to the Tenchi Universe series, and is considered by many to be the end of the Tenchi Muyo series. However, it does leave things "hanging" enough that the series can nonetheless continue. There are also some relatively confirmed rumors that a third OVA series is being developed, although that may not be related on the same timeline as this movie. I really liked this movie. It had all the trapping of a good and involving story, and made use of the personalities of all of the characters of Tenchi's unusual family. It's important to note here that this movie explores the real ramificaitons of the relationship between Ryoko, Aeka, and Tenchi and so most of the character development you will see is there. By the end of your movie you will know who Tenchi is most in love with, perhaps even better than Tenchi himself. For those interested in the technical aspects, the musical score, animation, and english voice dubbling left nothing wanting, they all were quite excellent. I will note here for those interested in anime movie music that the musical score largely favors piano which is more suited to a more sentimental tale, like in the first Tenchi movie. Being a movie, the animation quality is higher than any of the individual Tenchi episodes. You will notice that the characters are drawn differently, but when those characters were brought into motion I was not alienated by their appearance. I rather liked this look as it seemed to bring them a little more alive. For Tenchi Fans, this movie will either be good or bad depending on what you expect. There are none of the elaborate fight scenes seen in earlier Tenchi series and movies, and humor while noticably part of the movie was not the emphesis of the movie. Most of the focus on this movie is in the personalities of the characters. There is quite a bit more adult content than any of the previous movies. This includes some upper body female nudity (, which is nothing new for Tenchi,) and implied intercourse (a first in the tenchi series). I think this was tastefully done enough that I do not consider this truely pornographic, but parents should be advised you will want to review this first. Because of these reasons I think that this is a movie that the more mature Tenchi viewers will enjoy the most. I cirtainly enjoyed this movie, it was even good enough to make me want to go back and watch it again after the first time I finished it. That is as much as I could ask of any movie.

Summary: The best tenchi movie of all three!
Review: This is truely the best tenchi movie. I love this moive much more then the other two is because this movie contains no battling scenes. This movie is just what a tenchi movie should be. Just a simple fun loving relaxing movie. Here is a little spoiler...Tenchi really cares for ryoko more then ayeka(hahaha). As a ryoko fan I guess this is another reason I like this movie more then the other two. ^_^ Just get this DVD, you won't regret it because its the best. Here is a little taste of the third moive... The moive starts off with a scene where young yosho and haruna in a space ship going to earth. Then the movie really starts. Ryoko and ayeko fighting as always. Tenchi trys to stop them, but ends up wondering into the woods. He sees a camilia tree and the tree with a woman's(haruna) figure was calling to him. Tenchi goes off into a daze and walks into the tree. Now, the girls came looking for tenchi, but could not find him, and the search starts... Get the movie and find out, or just read some of the other reviews and I am sure that you will get a rough idea of what's going on. Don't forget to rate my review ^_^

Summary: The best Tenchi by far (in my opinion)
Review: Others have talked about the plot, so I will focus on other things. Such as the art. The art style has changed once again, but for the better. The colors are bright and solid where need be, and dark and brooding at the right times. The motions the characters make really look lifelike, as do some of the people, especially Haruna and Tenchi. And the dialogue is wonderful--not really as sappy as you think, but that made it even more moving. Love is expressed here in the simple ways of real people; meeting for lunch, or going shopping, or just spending an evening together. Tenchi doesn't save her from a world-dominating madman or a monster or an alien bent on revenge. And she acts a lot more human than many anime women I've seen. She seduces Tenchi whenever she feels his mind is wandering away from her and her world, and also is not above using her tears to get him to swing back over to her. She is excited to get the ring, jealous over the appearances of Ryoko and Ayeka, and becomes angry and vengeful when the two rescuers of Tenchi dare invade her world. She loves, she hates, she's petty at times, and that makes me love this movie even more. It's a fresh change from characters that show no emotion (though they have their place too) and characters that are consistently happy or sad or angry or whatever. The tone of this movie is darker, but that is because it is necessary. Tenchi is aged quite a bit by Haruna, and so he is no longer acting like a clumsy teenager, but a mature young man. Haruna is a vengeful (wouldn't you like to know), and her methods show that. Yosho shows his wisdom and judgment, and even Ryoko and Ayeka grow up a little and actually become friends. I loved this movie, especially since the tv series got a little too goofy for my tastes sometimes. My favorite dvd of all time is the Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X OVA Trust and betrayal, and I think that influenced my feelings a bit. I just go for the dramatic, makes-you-cry-at-the-end films. Anyway, I recommend this to any fan of the more mature, thought-provoking anime. And any Tenchi fan.

Summary: This can't be the end!
Review: If you enjoy the Tenchi series mainly to see Tenchi bust our his Light-Hawk sword and slice and dice bad guys, then you should rethink getting this movie. There is absolutely no action is this one whatsoever. To be blunt, it feels like a drama. I admit, that when I first sat down and watched it, I was skeptical. Like many other Tenchi fans, I was curious to see how they could take a grand series that encompassed every genre from action to comedy, and just focus on the drama. After having watched it several times now, I can say that it works, and works well. The story goes back to the root of some of the first OVA's: the love that Ayeka and Ryoko have for Tenchi. No plot spoilers here, just to say that the two women are going mad since Tenchi has disappeared. To go along with this more serious plot, is a change in the art style. While it works very well for the type of anime that this is, it's hard to get used to after watching the OVA's and the other Tenchi movies. The music is another aspect of this Tenchi movie that influences me to give it 5 stars. It is very dramatic, and almost every part has some background music, which really adds to the emotional value of certain scenes. On a minor note, the other women we have all come to know and love in the Tenchi world have only minor roles in this movie, but it allows for a greater focus on Ayeka and Ryoko's feelings. Finally, this movie continues with one of the strongest underlying Tenchi themes: emotions. It is a powerful anime, and if anyone watches it and doesn't feel even a small twinge of emotion, then there's something wrong with you (j/k). Again, a great film, very powerful, and one you will not likely forget soon. (*Hint: watch the credits carefully at the end*)

Summary: This isn't normal Tenchi
Review: Unlike the other Tenchi Movies, this one I plan not to watch over & over again... THE BAD- The Tenchi Muyo shows, movies, & comics always have somthing for everyone: Comedy, Romance, action & the aspects of life. I must say, "Tenchi Forever" only focused on drama. The cast was also WAY out of character; Besides, Washu, Sasami, Kiyone & Mihoshi..who barely had parts at all. THE GOOD- Basically, the story was very good. It answered a few of the "Tenchi Universe" questions that were never answered in the show. Plus, Haruna was a very complex character. She had a sweet-but-seductive side that we don't normally see in the series. & I'm glad she was only in the movie. Even though this movie was not as hilarious as the other Tenchi things, there was some comic-relief that broke through the drama. OVERALL- This movie lost its Tenchi-ways after the first five minutes. I don't plan on watching this tomarrow or the next day. If I see this movie again it will be because I'm in a dramatic mood. So, see this movie at your own risk..TRUST ME, it is a good movie...It was just not Tenchi.

Summary: Love it or hate it
Review: "Hey look guys, it's the new Tenchi Muyo movie! ............... What's this, no action, no fight scenes, none of the incredible arguements between Ryoko and Ayeka we've come to know and love? What is this?" Well the new "Tenchi in Love Movie" is different to say the least. Many fans of this series that I know didn't really enjoy this movie as much as I when I recently purchased it on DVD. It's a little more grown-up in more ways than one. If you've come to love the incredible formula of constant flirting, fighting, and fits of laughter shown in the series and movies of past, then you might find yourself a little dissapointed. However, it's still Tenchi at its finest and enjoyable in a whole new aspect.

Summary: A little saddend...
Review: Im not the Anime Fan I used to be. In fact, I havent read a manga or watched one for a few years now (mainly because of what an ***expensive*** addiction it is). For some reason, I decided to watch all three in order again (these were the first DVD's I ever Had!) to pass the time.The first two were light, funny, and silly movies, which I enjoyed very much. Then I got to the third one, which was actually my former favorite movie, and I really saw what people had been dissapointed in in this film! The whole mood of the story was very dramatic and depressing! This is NOTHING like the usual Tenchi Fun and Laugther! Although I did laugh a couple times during this movie, it was sad to see Tenchi this way, ending on such a sour note! I'd really wish they'd make a fourth one, OLD-Tenchi style to end it RIGHT!

Summary: The third tenchi Muyo Movie!!!!!
Review: As My older sister claims, everything in Tenchi Muyo is Yosho (the grandfather)'s fault. No exceptiions for this movie! So here's the spoiler free story: Tenchi gets kidnapped (kinda) by Yosho's old lover, Haruna, who deid on their way to Earth from Jurai (WAIT!!! he was going to earth to seal Ryoko in the first TV series riight?). over all great movie, one less star for me cause there are some sexual parts. Aeyka and Ryoko DO get along though for most of it, it's quite cute How they cheer each other on. My fav part? hints of a Ryoko/Tenchi relationship! YAY!!!

Summary: Tenchi Chooses
Review: This is the third Tenchi movie and the second one in the "Tenchi Universe" continuity. The movie starts out as a standard Tenchi fare with Ayeka and Ryoko fighting over a broom. They rush to Tenchi to resolve the dispute which he is loathe to do. Finally, Ayeka has had enough and demands Tenchi choose between herself and Ryoko -- which girl does he want to be with? Tenchi doesn't want to hurt either girl so he distracts them and runs off into the woods where he disappears into a tree. Six months later, Tenchi is still missing and everyone is searching. Sasami returns to Jurai to use their network. Washu uses her vast scientific knowledge and resources, enlisting Kiyone and Mihoshi to assist her. Finally, Ryoko and Ayeka put aside their differences and head to Tokyo where Washu has determined Tenchi to be. While this starts as a standard Tenchi fare, this quickly turns into a serious tale of maturity, love, and loss. People who enjoyed the various Tenchi sagas for their humor may be put off by this movie. However, if you can accept this as a serious story, it is a very good one. Watching all of the girls in the Masaki household putting everything aside for Tenchi is very touching, especially when it comes to Ayeka and Ryoko working well together. As I mention in my title, Tenchi does choose between the girls, but not in a way that some might expect. Personally, I think Tenchi made his choice in the "Tenchi Universe" series. As we are shown Tenchi's new life where he can't remember his past, one girl continues to come to his mind. He draws her and paints her though he doesn't remember her. As to the girls, one conceeds defeat in order to save Tenchi while the other takes one more chance to rescue Tenchi despite the danger not to mention apparently being rejected earlier. Bottom line: As a story, this one is truely a good one. The standard complaints against Pioneer's subtitles (translations & readability) still stand and the extras are nothing to write home about. Fans of good romantic stories will enjoy this as will most Tenchi fans. Anime fans should also appreciate this title.
