Summary: Worst Tenchi Movie :-P
Review: This was the worst Tenchi Movie and the worst part of all of the tenchi series!!!!!! I loved the Tenchi series but I really really really ect. loathed this movie! Grrr and this was the only tenchi movie I bought on dvd... I loved Tenchi the Movie a.k.a. Tenchi Muyo In Love and I totally loved Tenchi the Movie 2 The Daughter of Darkness but this was just bad...

I mean you can't totally hate a tenchi movie but I really didn't like this one. Just go buy the other movies on DVD and if you really like Tenchi get this one on VHS.

Wait... Well this one is funny to listen to in japanese so go ahead and buy it... Never Mind. Don't listen to me this was just my idea of the movie... -^_^-

Summary: Overall good but just did not have that tenchi feel
Review: There is an obvious lack of good fight scenes between the girls accept for the beginning. The movie is tied to the universe series but gives an actual reason for Yosho's disappearance. The stroyline builds on a few blind spots in the universe series but all in all it just does not have that tenshi feel. Perhaps that is why during the credits you see scenes from the universe series to remind you oh ya it is tenchi...kinda. As a stand alone movie it works well the stroyline and everything else was good but I just did not feel like I was watching tenchi after the first 5 minutes.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: one bizzaro movie
Review: The first thing that I thought to myself as I started this movie was "is this Tenchi?" Tenchi is known for it's humor, action, and non-stop risque remarks, and that's what I had expected when I got this film. What I had found was a love story, a bit disturbing, a bit other-world like, but in the end worth the time of watching. Tenchi is taken to a parallel world by a strange woman called Haruna. She is not a goddess, nor a sorceress, and never shows any signs of special magic power (except for her ability to form an alternate world). She is just like Ryoko or Ayeka in most aspects, which makes it a bit more competitive. Ryoko and Ayeka also are on different grounds in this movie, ditching their previous rivalry so they can team up in search of Tenchi. Instead of the final confrontation between Ryoko, Ayeka, and Haruna being a big epic battle over Tenchi like always, there is no fighting or bloodshed and their hearts do the battling. This movie has a strange feel about it, using bizarre angles and shady lighting. The music is unique, using pianos and accordians in an Italian romance style instead of the sugar-coated, hyper j-pop which was used in the previous Tenchi movies and most other animes. The movie does a fair amount of suffuring at the end, ending too soon and making a PAINFULLY obvious point at who Tenchi really is in love with. While not as stellar as previous Tenchi movies, this film stacks up and is worth a view.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BUY THIS MOVIE!!!!!!
Review: ... i think it's the best Tenchi movie so far... Like when when Tenchi has sex with another girl in the movie it's realley not a big deal in the movie... Some of the characters hardly play in the movie.
In the beginning of the movie it starts off at Tenchi's home and as usual Ryoko and Ayeka start fighting, but over broom. Then Tenchi comes to stop it, but then they have him chose between them who he wants. Then Tenchi distracts them and run like hell up the stairs. But when he got to the forest he disappeared. Now it's been six months since Tenchi disappeared and Ryoko and Ayeka are still looking for him. Then they get to Tokyo find him but with another women named Haruna, and every time they see him and try to catch him they lose him. Thats i am going to tell you cause I'm not spoil the movie.
I really think this is a great movie. Also think this is a good movie for Tenchi And Ryoko fans and also Ayeka fans too. But out of this whole Review all i'm trying to say is BUY THIS MOVIE!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: awesome!!!
Review: well, here is some advice for some of you die hard tenchi muyo fans,this movie is tottaly different than tenchi muyo in love(the first movie) and the daughter of darkness( the second) for two reasons,the first two movies had two things in common: comedy and action,tenchi forever does not have any action and hardly any comedy,it is a very dramatic love story.It does have superb animation and an awesome storyline but if you like comedy and action watch the first two movies,they're awesome as well.Oh there is something that tenchi forever has that the first two dont have much of,it has a few nudity scenes,i mean i know all anime has some nudity here and there but this a little more adult aimed nudity,its not too awful though,its not very detailed at all.But,i reccomend this movie to anyone over i would say 14 it is an awesome movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Different
Review: I must say Tenchi Forever (Tenchi the movie 3/Tenchi in love 2) was different. It's not like your average tenchi movie. This one had alot more story and drama in it. Still has some comedy, but not much. I don't want to spoil the weird story it has so I will just let you know it is different! Tenchi ends up being older and more mature than the other movies/series. Has Nudity and mature situations in it. Not recomended for children under 13.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tenchi Forever
Review: I i loved the movie but i didn't realized there would be like makeout scenes other than that the movie was great. THere's one other thing the story of tenchi grandfather how he met HER. i got confused among the different story how each person met, or how they got there.( like the series) but it supported the main concept of the movie it self. and again i thought the movie was great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spectacular!!
Review: I have just finished watching my new Tenchi Forever DVD for the 3rd time, and it just keeps getting better and better. From the moment the movie began to play I was captivated. This drama had only one thing in common with the other Tenchi episodes, the overall love shared for Tenchi. Ryoko and Aeka absolutley steal the show, not because of their constant bickering, but becuase of the way they pull together and develop a great relationship. If your a Ryoko fan, your sure to love this movie even more, but if your not you won't be dissapointed either. The animation is gorgeous, very soft and detailed, and the soundtrack is just as wonderful. This movie is a must have for any Tenchi fan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a different sort of Tenchi movie
Review: This is one of my favorite anime movies of all time. I got it Christmas morning and smiled. "Yea! Another good, funny Tenchi movie!" I was wrong about two things, 1: It isn't the funny sort of anime movie. 2. It isn't just another Tenchi movie. This movie is a beautiful love story between an older Tenchi and a girl named Haruna. Tenchi has no knowledge of Ryoko and Aeka. At all.
Well, except......no.....not giving things away. The ending of the movie is extremely beautiful. and let's just say this movie is perfect for nekoshippers (Tenchi/Ryoko, yeaaa). ^-^
In conclusion..........I give this flick 5 thumbs up! Yay!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The way Tenchi Muyo romance was meant to be
Review: Tenchi Muyo, what is it? It is the series that always keeps you guessing because you never know what's next. And this film is no exception. The Tenchi series is sometimes a sci-fi adventure, sometimes comedy, other times martial arts action, and sometimes a soapy daytime drama. This lastest endeavour falls squarely into the last catagory of a daytime drama, but not in any derogatory sense. I have seen some very wonderful romance stories on daytime dramas, but daytime dramas suffer from fundamental problems - very long and fractured stories - that "Tenchi Forever"/TMIL2 does not. The story here is told completely and proceeds at an even pace, much slower than "Daughter of Darkness", with time for the viewer to savor the emotion of each scene. The story is about three relationships: an old one, a current one, and a new one. The old relationship introduces us to Haruna, Yosho's old flame from his previous life on Planet Jurai. She turns out to the villain in this film, but Haruna is very unlike any previous Tenchi villian. She is not some great ogre, but a likeable, very human person. This is a common device used in daytime dramas - to give the villian redeeming human qualities to keep the viewers guessing about how she turns out in the end (you won't find out from me!). In the new relationship Haruna has drawn Tenchi into her own private world where he cannot recall any of his previous life. This part of the story is exceptionally well done. Theirs is a mature relationship, it has love and romance of course, but unlike Achika and Nobyuki's storybook romance, Tenchi and Haruna also experience anxiety, tension, and conflict. It is surprisingly real and lifelike. The third relationship is the "friendship" between Aeka and Ryoko. It starts out as usual with a fight which causes Tenchi to just want to get away from them. When he doesn't come back (Haruna has taken him) they proceed to search for him together, with a little help from the remaining Tenchi cast. After searching for six months with no luck, Ryoko and Aeka begin to deal with their separation from Tenchi in very different ways. They begin to open up to each other and share their feelings in a way never seen before in Tenchi Muyo. Any Tenchi fan is sure to enjoy seeing Ryoko and Aeka trust each other and become real friends. This film is very different from both TMIL and DOD, even the animation production itself looks more like "Grave of the Fireflies" than either of the previous Tenchi films making this probably the oddest collection of movies I have ever viewed. I can't wait to see what the next Tenchi movie is like, to see if AIC can produce another film completely different from the three we have now.
