Summary: Tenchi...you have got to envy this guy.
Review: Take your average guy, add a group of beautiful women...( a space pirate, two princesses, a mad scientist, two galaxy police officers), then mix in some time travel and a love triangle...and what do you have? Hoo Boy...I wish I was in HIS shoes...ooops sorry. The movie that got me hooked to the series Tenchi-Muyo. In my opinion, any movie that brings on an emotional response, is a good movie. If it makes me laugh, cry, angry, or if it puts me on the edge of my seat, it is a good movie. Tenchi-Muyo in Love brings all of those emotions, and it is an instant classic. If you enjoy good anime, and you haven't seen this yet...You my friend are missing out on a classic. Beautiful animation, that puts most Disney to shame. Sound that envelops you and draws you into the action. A story so well written, that you will never forget...nor will you ever want to stop watching. I bet once you watch it...you will be hooked just like myself...on Tenchi-Muyo. END

Summary: The Best Tenchi Movie! No Questions Asked
Review: Out of all the Tenchi movies, this one is the best. It takes place when the criminal known as Kain escapes from the Galaxy Police and travels back in time to kill Achika, Tenchi's mother, in the year 1970. This leads the gang back to that era. All the characters from Tenchi Universe are here in this one. The animation remains some of the best in any Tenchi movie with vibrant colors and full motion animation. One thing you may find strange about the title is that its called Tenchi Muyo in Love and there is almost no romantic quarels between Aeka and Ryoko in the film. Oh well, it doesn't bother me. I actually loved the movie. The DVD does justice as well. The overall best part is the 4 TV spots\theatrical trailers. The first one is a theatrical trailer thats about 30 seconds. The second one is a special report on the film that was shown in Japan right after the last episode of Tenchi Universe. The third trailer is a TV spot which is exactly like the theatrical trailer. The last one is a quick 15 second TV spots. Pretty sweet. Even more is the interview with the music composer, Chris Franke, speaking English with Japanese subtitles. There is also some interesting text to read on the director, music compuser and singers. Even a section on Tenchi Universe. The Audio is great with Japanese and English in brilliant THX Dolby 5.1. Subtitles include English and Japanese which are both white outlined in blue. And the price! Oh, the price! All this and you haven't bought it yet? Get it! Its a steal at this price. Trust me. You won't regret it.

Summary: KAAAIIINNNN!!!!
Review: A ruthless, merciless, super-criminal has escaped from sub-space, where he was being held. He had been put there by the combined forces of the Galaxy Police and the Jurai Royal Family. Now to get back at them he will travel back in time, to 1970, to kill Tenchi's mother! Does that make sense? No? Well, don't worry about it, because this is TENCHI: The Movie, also known as Tenchi Muyo In Love.
Tenchi and the gang, including Kiyone, go back to stop Kain from killing his mom and erasing him from history forever. This seems to be a normal Tenchi adventure, with a tad more blood than normal. And I'm not sure who Tench is in love with, but lets not go there. Just enjoy the time travel and the combat.
Kain, on the other hand, could of used more help as a character. That's why it has only four stars.

Summary: One of the Best Anime Movies of All Time
Review: Tenchi Muyo! in Love is one of the most acclaimed anime movies I've ever seen. The fluid animation with the wonderful character design is spectacular. Graphics are pretty good considering it's a VHS. Tenchi Muyo! in Love is about the criminal mastermind, Kain, who escapes the Galaxy Police from a sub-space prison. He's basically gas and stuff only Washuu would know. Kain was put in prison for destruction, mayhem, and suspicion of murder. Now that he's escaped, he's determined to justify his sentence by ending the Masaki family line. In the 1970's he will travel to kill Tenchi's mother, Achika. That's when Tenchi starts disappearing when he discovers that the film shot during Achika and Noboyuki's romance, where Achika disappears. Now it's up to gang with the help of Washuu to travel back in time to save Achika and Tenchi. Aeka and Ryoko are hilarious posing as Achika's fellow classmates. Mihoshi is a bumbling teacher and Kiyone is a reluctant janitor. Poor Kiyone. Sasami and Ryo-ohki along with Tenchi watch after Achika. All of this results in a dazzling conclusion you won't want to miss.

Summary: Tenchi's not in love... Is he?
Review: I would always suggest the DVD version of any Anime over the VHS, as you can really tell the difference in quality. This fact is the only thing keeping this video from being 5 stars in my book. This first movie in the Tenchi series is a masterpiece. Not only do we get an hour and a half version of the TV series (which is great in its own right), but we get to see Tenchi's mom and dad as teenagers. Achika is everything you would think the mother of Tenchi would be: Strong, serious, independent, and capable of incredible power. We also get an answer to why Achika, the daughter of Yosho, and presumably a powerful Jurai, died when Tenchi was a boy. Normally, I cringe watching dubbed Anime. Many times American localization: translation and voice casting, results in a horrible piece of work. But with Tenchi there is both a decent translation and fabulous voicework. They say their lines with the right tone, pitch and inflections, and they are just the right kinds of voices for the roles they play (KT Vogt as Washu is one of my favorites). So don't even listen to people when they tell you Tenchi Dubbed is bad. The only confusion of the story is the title. The movie revolves around Tenchi's parents as teenagers, and saving Tenchi's mother from being killed by a great evil. THEY are the ones who fall in love, not Tenchi, but no matter, it's still a great movie.

Summary: One of my favorite anime movies of all time
Review: My good Lord, I love this movie. The animation is beautiful, and the plot, while predictable to a certain point, is still great. The characters aren't OCC, and are likeable (even if you aren't a Tenchi fan), especially Achika. **Spoiler for non-Tenchi fans** As Tenchi fans will know, Tenchi's mother, Achika, dies when he is still little. Despite being well-aware of this fact, after getting to know Achika and seeing the ending (which was bitter-sweet) always, always makes me cry. Maybe it's because I'm a softy. Maybe it's because everything, the music, the voice acting, the animation, is wonderful. Maybe it's a bit of both. I saw the 2nd movie before this one and wasn't exactly fond of it. Then I rented this one day and instantly fell in love with it. It was the #1 thing on my wish list last year, and I am forever in debt to my parents for getting it for me. I highly recommend this movie; rent it if you're not sure you'll like it. If you like it, buy it.

Summary: Small Flaws, Great Movie
Review: Roughly, Tenchi in Love has about 2 major flaws. Lets start with the title; TENCHI IN LOVE???? Sure, the whole darn series is about love, but during this film Tenchi falls in love with absolutely no one! Sure, Tenchi Muyo translates to No Need For Tenchi, but No Need for Tenchi in LOVE??? Sorry, but when I first saw this movie I was disapointed. I thought, reading the title, that Tenchi would finally go for Ryoko or something, but he doesn't, I shall worn you! Then there's this Kain guy. In Washu's words he's more of a new supernova than a criminal. He's like this big high level dimensional being (kind of like Tokimi, his existance is impossible, even in the Tenchi play-world) who can kill, destroy, and absorb people, planets, EVERYTHING!! Plus they don't give you much of a background on him. Why does he have such a grudge against the Jurai, did I miss that part?? However, though, this does not stop it from being a great movie. Achika is a brilliant character, and as my friend Ryoko says, "Will yah look at that? She's Tenchi's mother all right!" You can totally see now that Tenchi gets his boldness in battle from his mother, and his shyness from his father:) The movie seems to have an emotional meaning for everyone, along with some funny scenes. As far as saying how mature you have to be to watch this thing: it's not that bad. Of course you've still got Ryoko swearing from time to time when she gets angry, and then there's like 2 seconds of bare-buttness for Achika when she transforms to the Jurai...but get real, this thing's a classic for all Tenchi lovers!! It really makes you think seriously about life!

Summary: A snore
Review: I have to disagree with most, I found this movie very boring. The plot, at first interesting, became flat rather quickly. I thought this movie had a lot of potential in the first few moments. The problem is the conflict in this movie just takes way too long to resolve. It's not a particularly long movie, but when the space between conflict creation and resolving is filled mostly with dull, flat moments, it just feels so tedious. I was truly bored watching this movie. Great animation and artwork, there the movie definitely does not disappoint. If you're a hardcore Tenchi fan then obviously this review will fail to convince you. For the Tenchi casuals, I say look elsewhere, as Tenchi in general is actually pretty cool stuff.

Summary: One of my top 10 favorite movies
Review: Usally, I'm the guy that watches the Godfather, Scarface, Hard Boiled, and New Jack City style movies, but after watching the Tenchi series on Toonami, and enjoyed them(Except for Tenchi in Tokyo). I brought the movie, and see what it was all about. Just like the Series(except for Tenchi in Tokyo) it didn't dissapoint, and the storyline is just genius. The story is very moving, and it also has comedy in it, as always; and it kept my eyes glued to the TV to screene until the end. I havent seene the last 2 movies, but I'm sure I'll see them real soon. So if you love the Tenchi series, you should have this by now. If you love anime, and don't have this, go check this out, and the 3 Series. peace
