Summary: Tenchi Forever??
Review: This wasn't a good movie... Well, of course it was!! Except it was a love story and you had to know the character's backgrounds and such. There is barely any action in it and it was ment for teenagers/adults. Otherwise, It is pretty good! The story comes together and unfolds as you progress into the movie. Contrary to what everyone else is saying, there isn't alot of nudity and they're just exaggerating. It only lasts for about a minute when they're having sex(still, you shouldn't watch it with your parents, but then why would you in the first place!?). It all begins when Tenchi is caught in the middle of another arguement between Aeka and Ryoko. Then he runs off into the forest and towards a big tree. Then he goes into the tree and ends up in the future about 5/6 years later(although they say it's 3 months they've aged quite a bit). Ryoko and Aeka quit fighting to look for Tenchi, but apparently he is in another dimension where time goes faster. I won't spoil the end of the movie so you'll just have to watch it yourself.

If you are a newcomer to the Tenchi series I recommend that you watch the other movies(Tenchi Muyo in love #1/Daughter of Darkness). Both movies are very good. If you watched those movies already and have been a Tenchi fan for quite some time, go get this movie! You might regret it or love it. If you expect some action and comedy don't look for it here. This is mostly drama with a little bit of action and comedy. All in all I liked it, but my friends hated it!

Summary: Forever Sucks
Review: Man this movie stinks. First of all it revolves to much around this obsessive ghost woman. Then there's the porn scene. Man this was the dummest purchase I ever made besides starship troopers. In my opinion you shouldn't buy this movie. If you want to0 see it so bad then ask to borrow it from a friend.

Summary: The Best and Most Moving of the Tenchi Movies
Review: "Tenchi Forever" is exactly what a Tenchi movie should be. Each of the three anime series all feature a splendid mixture of clever dialogue, slapstick comedy, involving storylines, and most of all, well-developed characters. The last of these is the focus of "Tenchi Forever," more than in either "Tenchi Muyo in Love" or "Daughter of Darkness". While both of these are great movies in their own right, it is only in "Forever" that character drives the plot, giving us an extremely intense look into the four characters around which the Tenchi Universe revolves - To wit, Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, and Katsuhito.

In fact, one might go so far as to say that "Tenchi Forever" is really about the interesting relationship between Ryoko and Ayeka, the two women who are engaged in an interminable battle for Tenchi's affections. Taking off from their love/hate relationship in "Tenchi Universe," in "Forever," we see two women whose fight over Tenchi has developed into a touching and interdependent friendship with each other. Gone are the whiny Ayeka and overtly aggressive Ryoko - both have become strong-willed, independent, and assertive women. This is the result of great writing and a great story.

"Tenchi Forever" begins in true Tenchi fashion with Ryoko and Ayeka fighting over Tenchi, and demanding that he make a choice between them. Trying to avoid the normal confrontation, Tenchi flees to the Masaki shrine, where an image of Haruna entrances Tenchi, and leading him into another dimension. Ayeka and Ryoko move to Tokyo, where they are prime agents in the search for Tenchi. Unlike the other Tenchi movies and series, in "Forever," the supporting cast is just that - the roles of Washu, Nobuyuki, Kiyone, Mihoshi, and Sasami are extremely limited and are each dedicated to assisting Ryoko and Ayeka's efforts.

The subtext of the movie involves Katsuhito, Tenchi's grandfather - can he reconcile himself with his past? What is his involvement in Tenchi's disappearance? Why has Haruna taken Tenchi? With Washu's genius, the technology of Jurai, and the industry of Ryoko and Ayeka, are the pooled resources of Tenchi's family enough to bring him home and to himself?

The animation style of "Forever" is slightly different from any of the series, a kind of blend between the classic Muyo/Universe and the more distinct "Tokyo". It is fitting, though, since this is a different kind of movie - the characters are drawn and animated more like actual people, rather than as cartoon characters. With a more adult-oriented storyline, it is entirely appropriate that the animation be altered to match. The movie's musical score reflects this shift also, largely piano driven, evoking a kind of film-noir feel throughout the picture. "Tenchi Forever" moves slowly, it is true, which may disconcert some, but for the true Tenchi fan, it is a brilliant end to the adventures of Tenchi, if it is indeed the end...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Techi at the finest
Review: This movie is beautifully done and it is a BIG must for all Tenchi fans. This movie is intended to be the last installment of the Tenchi saga. Its more romantic and less action pack then earlier Tenchi films. The animation is a little different, it makes the characters look and move a little more human, but its still looks like Tenchi. The movie starts out like any other episode but 10 minutes into the movie you will soon see its a lot more then that. It has a very good story line, that I won't reveal. Since this movie is the last of the saga, we find out which of the six women Tenchi truly loves (you should know if you fallow Tenchi). The ending did leave me wondering how and where this relationship will end up, but with a good clean imagination you can pick up were they left off. I couldn't help but to go back and watch the movie again after I finished it. It's wonderful how they finally come together. It will leave you with a few tears in your eyes.

Summary: Please Choose Carefully (this is not your normal Tenchi.)
Review: Now I want you to know that I watch Tenchi only when it is dubbed into American standards and ethics. This movie goes beyond that. I know some people watch anime only when it is completely Japanese. Well this is one of them. There is a lot of nudity and some profanity in the movie. There is one scene where two characters have intercourse. I know that the movie is a romance but some of the best romances in the world do not have nudity. This Tenchi is COMPLETELY different form the episodes shown on T.V. If that is what you love then you may not like this video. For instance Ayeka and Ryoko only fight once in the entire movie. Then toward the end Ayeka seemed to let Ryoko have Tenchi. Now to me that is not right. The movie derives form the season Tenchi Universe. It shows all the characters form that season but it concentrates on Tenchi, Haruna, Ayeka, Ryoko, and Tenchi’s grandfather Yosho. This is what it says on the back of the video case “Tenchi walks into the mountains and disappears. After searching all over Japan for Tenchi, Ayeka and Ryoko finally locate him in Tokyo where he is now several years older. Tenchi appears to be in a parallel world with a mysterious girl, named Haurna, and doesn’t remember Ayeka and Ryoko! What is the mysterious connection between Haruna and Tenchi’s grandfather, Yosho? It’s up to Ayeka and Ryoko to discover what Haruna wants with Tenchi and to rescue him before he disappears forever!” On the video case it says (not rated) in stores it says only for 16 year olds and up. My opinion is that it is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. As you can probably tell the nudity and profanity ruined the movie for me. I am wondering if I should even watch any more Tenchi. I think Pioneer animation could have made two versions, one censored (where all the profanity and nudity is completely taken out) and one uncensored. I would not my children watch this video at all. This is one movie that can stay on the shelves forever.

Summary: the last and best of the techi saga
Review: This movie is beautifully done and its a BIG must for all Tenchi fans. Its the final installment of the Tenchi Muyo saga. The animation is slightly different, it gives the characters a more human and less cartoon look, which works very well with the tone of the movie. At the conclusion we find out which of the six women Tenchi truly loves. I was left wondering where and how this relationship will end up, but with a clean imagination you can fill in where they left off. It's wonderful how they finally come together, and will bring a few tears to your eyes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best of all Three Movies!!!
Review: THis was great! THere is little fighting or violence. But it is still wonderful! The music is great! THe last song at the end was the best! I loved it! I am happy he picked Ryoko at the end but some people said he didnt pick her. He did. He was drawing her face throught out the whole movie! even when he was suppose to forget her and everyone! I love the ending so much! No its not a good movie for kids, but hey, i'm 12 I still liked it. some hot parts but anyway... So if you love Tenchi and Ryoko romance, you wont be disapointed!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This was a disappointment.
Review: This is no way near as good as the three series or the other two films. Don't bother buying it. I was disillusioned and heartbroken. I now hate all the world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: an anime movie at it's best
Review: I'm not a big anime buff, or some guy who was tons of bootleg movies and series but one thing I've stumbled upon and fell totally in love with it Tenchi Muyo in love 2. When I first saw it I was alittle shy to what was going on it starts off with a great amount of mystery to first time views and a little taste of the unknown to fans. I think I picked up on the Tenchi series at Tenchi in Tokyo which is a very haunting series. This movie can't be explained one way, but maybe if you take your chance on me your can see it my way for a glance, it starts off as any other Tenchi show Tenchi is minding this own business just feeling the beauty of life and ryoko and akiea, forgive my spelling ask her for the last time who is he really wants to be with, Tenchi knowing he couldn't answer this question, dashes away while the two are distracted. He runs till he is winded then stumbles upon a tree and hears a soothing voice call him and sees a loving lady somewhere in the tree calling him and he ventures in and then Tenchi is gone...the movie pretty much is an adventure to recover Tenchi and make him realize his true feelings for that certain someone. the movie shows great emotion in the animation and in the most touching music I've ever heard even know it echoes in me. If you take the time and if your someone just know trying to understand love maybe this movie is for you I think I lied I don't really know how to make you see this movie the way I do it' something I've never felt before maybe you'll feel it too, well thanks for reading this. I thank you for the time you took to read this.
