Summary: Don't Call This A Sequel
Review: A New Start is a fitting name for this disc, since it has no relation whatsoever to any of the previous Tenchi story lines. Much like the Tenchi Universe series, Tenchi In Tokyo is yet another radical retelling of the same story. And like Tenchi Universe, Tenchi In Tokyo really pales in comparison to the original and still the best OAV series. Although it falls short of living up its OAV heritage, it's not a bad series by any stretch of the imagination. It's still fun and goofy, but it lacks polish and scale that made people gravitate to Tenchi in the first place. Thankfully, there's the manga out there to continue the original story line.

Summary: A new look, a new story, a new dillema
Review: AIC is making itself known by bringing back old classics. Tenchi Muyo was for adults and Tenchi Universe was for kids. This series is for teenagers. A lot of things have changed. Tenchi is off to Tokyo to start high school. One of Tenchi's old friends from the original Tenchi Muyo is back in here and once again another women is after Tenchi and so is a new enemy. The reason for this is not yet given and why Sakuya is all over Tenchi is anyones guess. Fortunetely for the girls back home, they can visit Tenchi through the dimentional tunnel, developed by Washu. The main point of this series is basically focused on the comedy. Thats why you'll notice there is some super deformity. The gag of the girls always trying to get to see Tenchi follows throughout the series and is sometimes funny. Lots of things have changed and yer gonna have to wait awile until everything is explained. Some people who are familiar with Tenchi Universe are going to look at this and say 'What the heck'. This isn't really for devoted Tenchi fans, but if you liked the series and have no emotional hang ups, then this might be worth a look. I really wish the design of the monsters were done better though.

Summary: Very decent.
Review: Although I definately preferred the previous art style, the change is not incredably big and is quickly adjusted to. The plot doesn't seem as wild as previous Tenchi series, but is nonetheless interesting and funny.The big advantage of DVD is having both laguage tracks. Although I personally love the Tenchi dub, depite being an adamant dub disliker for most other series (Utena, Eva, Sailor Moon -ack-, Gunnm, etc...), I think that they've found some rare gems of entertaining voices for Tenchi. They aren't the same as the Japanese ones (most notably Washu's VA), but they put much more energy into it than most others can or do without being horribly melodramatic. Anyhow, for the sub cultists (a category which I myself *usually* fall into) there is the Japanese track with or without subtitles (which also have a hearing impaired option which also describes sound effects). The picture quality is quite good, and the sound. If you *really* want to invest in Tenchi, I'd suggest the OAV boxed set way before these DVDs, but they are good entertainment.

Summary: Although the age level goes down it's still not bad.
Review: Although I prefer the original Tenchi series and Tenchi Universe this is still an enjoyable peice of Tenchi work. Despite the fact it's aimed more in the direction of children with it's more extravagant details. Though my only real complaint would be the different people that they got for some of the voices. But as my overall opinion it's still halerious.

Summary: Potentially my most horrific anime experience.
Review: I am an avid worshipper or the Tenchi Muyou! universe. If I were forced to pick three favorite anime, Tenchi would undoubtably find its way into the list. This is why this DVD instills feelings shock, depression, and suicidal tendencies. The animation is on par with Sailor Moon TV episodes at their best moments (for all of you Moonies, take note: this is not a compliment). Perhaps the former animators caught the Plague; there has to be a rational explanation for why this series' animation lacks smootheness, detail, and height/weight proportionate characters. Tenchi's grunge motif seems out of place for those of us who are accustomed to the more retro-80s look of any other Tenchi incarnation. The plot is debased to something one would find on a Saturday morning cartoon (yes, I used the 'c' word; pardon my indiscretion). The monsters (I still don't understand what they were thinking will cell-phone man) once again remind me of Bishoujo Senshi in tackiness and lack of quality and originality. Furthemore, the music for the ending is an affront against god (unless you actually like japanese-folk-country). However, this is still Tenchi, and Tenchi in Toukyou's appeal mainly rests in its relation to the rest of the Tenchi universe. If you have to see all of Tenchi, enjoy. The series does get slightly better, but not enough to warrant purchasing the series. I would have given this DVD one star, but Ryo-Ohki! turns into a big, pink mecha, and you have to admit that's pretty kawaii. If I sounded somewhat acidic, it is merely due to the fact that I love Tenchi Muyou, Tenchi Universe, the three movies, and Pretty Sammy, and this was most disappointing.

Summary: Dangerous for Tenchi Fans
Review: I have been an avid Tenchi fan for several years and I cannot stress how terrible Tenchi in Tokyo is compared to the original OVA series or even Tenchi Universe. The art is simply awful--worse than a lot of American cartoons--and the plot is completely inane. It lacks the kind of subtleties and complexities present in the other two incarnations and tries too hard to be a crappy shoujo anime, which is NOT what Tenchi was ever meant to be. Some of this series is OK. Ryoko fans will certainly delight in the fact that she gets to go on a date with Tenchi but that's hardly a reason to invest a lot of time and money in buying and watching this series from start to finish. And don't even get me started on Sakuya. She's as dull as cardboard compared to all of the other Tenchi girls and she's too sickeningly sweet to be a believable character. In short, she is a big phoney (in more ways than one) and not a good addition to Tenchi's world at all. The rest of the show also makes all of the other girls much wackier than previously seen and ruins a lot of them. Ayeka in particular becomes a raving psychotic in most episodes. If this is the only Tenchi you've ever seen, I pity you. The OVA series and Universe were infinitely better in all aspects. Tokyo is NOT indicative of the Tenchi world AT ALL. Go watch the other series--you'll thank me.

Summary: Tenchi in Tokyo is brill!
Review: I have never seen Tenchi Muyo or Tenchi Universe but I think they would never be as good as Tenchi in Tokyo. Sakuya a new charicter is Tenchi`s new girlfriend ( yeah another one) she is pretty nice but later on in the series she is just such a pain. She brought Tenchi some sandwitches at twelve at night!
It is a very funny series. Washu`s inventions are sooooooooooooo funny.(When they go wrong!) Episode 3 is probably the best one.
I mean its not every day you catch Tenchi in pink elephant costume (Which Sasami seems like!) practising caligraphy, or watching be pushed of a clif by a hippo and a goat, or watch him as a devil being pelted with eggs.
Well its a very good Tenchi series. Any Tenchi fan would love it!

Summary: WHY?!!
Review: I have to admit. When I watched the first episode, I laughed. Then I got passed the first 10 minutes and realized this serise was going straight to hell. Tenchi Muyo is a SciFI/Romanitc Comedy, not a fast passed silly anime like Excel Saga of Dragon Half. The list of bad features goes on. - The art is terrible. Looks nothing like the original beautiful art style of the OVA and T.V. show. - The music is God awful. It's like listening to the soundtrack of DBZ or even worse, the Yu Yu Hakusho movie. They should have just stuck with the synth music. - This is by far the worst dub Tenchi Muyo has ever faced. Which is really sad because the previous dubs were really good. They added way too much idiotic diologue that ruins even some of the bad gags. - Sakuya is about as interesting as wire. A plane, ordinary, wire. - Why is Ayeka suddenly a ragin psycopath? Avoid this serise at all cost. It's not worth your money.

Summary: it ok, but not as good
Review: I really liked the anime and was impressed with the first two series of Tenchi, but when I saw Tenchi in Tokyo I was a little shocked. The atmosphere, characters, and animation has changed drasticly and for the worse. It looks more like sailor moon with its wierd animations showing sadness, anger, ect. Its definatlely more for a different, younger audience.

Summary: Tenchi in Tokyo review
Review: I want all that plan to buy Tenchi in Tokyo on DVD to know that the story is totally different from the other two Tenchi series, and is a definite must have for any Tenchi fan. Theres alot more comedy in the Tokyo series, which makes up for the animation being a bit less lower in quality. Tenchi is given a job as a shrine keeper's helper in Tokyo, and this gets the girls at the Masaki home all crazy. While in Tokyo, Tenchi has to go to school as usual, and the most popualar girl in school, Sakuya, starts to have a love interest in him. She is certainly competition for Ryoko and Ayeka to get mad at. And to make it worse, it seems that a girl that looks like the goddess Tokimi from the OVA series is plotting to foil Tenchi's life somehow, But her plan is unknown for the time being...
