Summary: Not nearly as exciting as the second movie . . .
Review: First of all I must say that every Tenchi animated feature, be it TV series, OAV or movie is a work of art, the characters, backgrounds, colors and motions are fantastic.

However the sound wasn't all that great for this movie, and let's face it - it is a little depressing to see how hung up on one guy both Ryouko and Ayeka are.

I know that if you fall in love, you fall in love and that is that, but they are depicted so pathetically in this movie it is just sad. Tenchi disappears and they search frantically, fight amongst themselves (which they always do) and are generally worthless.

This third movie in the series does definitely move in a different direction than previous movies. No Star-Wars-Like combat here. Art and feelings and different ideas of reality sure but not a whole lot of what has come to be known as typical Tenchi action. A part of what I really love about the Tenchi series is the comedy and the great action scenes - and taking a lot of it away doesn't really work for me.

It is great that the directors and artists are trying new things, but I think we get a little too much of the other side of Tenchi Muyo in this movie. But rate it as you will, it is still a Tenchi movie, and still worth a watch. You may not want to own it, but I would recommend at least seeing it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tenchi Forever?
Review: This was a amazing movie.Though i do think there wasn't enough action the plot was very interesting cause it is rare to see anime focusing on normal everyday life.The character development is very good as even Ryoko and Ayeka act civilised and get on well in this movie.The animation is different more adult than the other movies.I really liked the ending but i wish he wold tell her how he feels.The end song was very good though it would be better subtitled.I would strongly reccomend you watch Tenchi Universe as the story carries on from that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No Need for Children
Review: This movie is definitely geared toward the adult side of the Tenchi fan base. The animation is spectacular and very dreamy at times. If you are a Ryoko fan, you must see this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What I expected from Tenchi The Movie! ^-^'
Review: Well, this is not for the younger generation (13 and under) because: 1 Tenchi has sex, 2 there is coursing, 3 nudity, and 4.. well not much else! This was very good however, and if your a big Tenchi and Ryoko fan you'll love this! The ending pay attenton to the rings, even though it doesn't seem he takes them, he does folks, you'll find this out in Tenchi Goes to America (Latest series not out yet, still in Japan) Anyway! I hope this helped you out in your disition, BUT don't worry Tenchi and Ayeka fans there also is a part for you guys too! This is for anyone who loves, romance, action/adventure, and saspence! ^-^ Oh, and I sooo 100% want you to see the other Tenchi Muyo movies! See them BEFORE this one!!! (Especily Tenchi and Ryoko fans!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A mature movie...
Review: This movie is based on the 'Tenchi Universe' setting, but seems to be done with very mature themes and a few adult scenes. The plot is somewhat character driven. Tenchi is missing one day and both Ryoko and Ayeka go searching for him. As they search, they both end up expressing their love for him and the fears that they may lose him. Even Princess Sasami while visiting the Knights on Jurai seems somewhat older, sadder.

It also explains to us one of the major reasons why Tenchi's grandfather came to Earth in the first place.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tenchi at the finest
Review: This movie was made to be the last installment of the Tenchi Muyo saga (not true, OVA 3 is in the works!!). Its beautifully done and Tenchi fans must have it. This movie goes with the Tenchi Universe TV show. I cant say enough on how good of a movie this is. At the conclusion we find out which lucky lady Tenchi loves. If you seen the hints from the TV show you should already know who she is. Its wonderful how they finally come together. The ending didn't show how and where this relationship was going to end up of course, but with a good clean imagination you can continue were they left off. So buy the movie it will leave you with a few tears in your eyes..

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is Probably the last Tenchi Movie
Review: I purchased this one about a year ago. The first time I saw it, I felt it was barely OK. Since then My Tenchi Muyo! collection has grown considerably. (I have a lot of goodies you need to go to Japan to get.) Well I popped this one in the ol'Pioneer and discovered a rather good show. I didn't miss anything the first time I watched it a year ago, I just have a deeper appreciation for it. (Tenchi Muyo! in Love 2) Tenchi Forever is a more serious show than the previous stuff. Pioneer rates the movie for sixteen and up. Some people have alluded that there is a lot of nudity. That is a lie. I suspect that they have seen only edited versions of the OVA and the two TV shows or they have only seen the first two movies. As I said this is rated for 16 and up. I feel it is mostly for adult situations. (There is a difference.) For this film to be enjoyed properly, You pretty much need to see the first TV series (Tenchi Universe). The character development is based on that version of the Tenchi "universe". This film can stand on its own but knowing the characters helps. Stylistically this is different from the previous offerings in most ways, from artwork to music. (Actually the music is quite interesting.) The acting is OK in the English version but the Japanese version is fabulous. Get it, enjoy it. Be careful of your comparisons. This will probably be the last Tenchi movie based on the first TV series. The next Tenchi movie will probably be based on the complete OVA, ("Tenchi Muyo! Rio Oki 3"),or the new OVA/TV series,("Tenchi Muyo! GXP"). These shows are scheduled to be out in Japan, spring 2002. One last thing. I thought that it was interesting that they used a plot device from the Tenchi Muyo! OVA as the basis for this movie's story. Of course, you should try to figure it out without checking. If you just don't know, try watching OVA episode 9 "Sasami to Tsunami". Tanoshimu! (Enjoy)

Summary: Hentai Forever
Review: I was expecting a very nice film as I loved the other 2 Tenchi movies, however as if the hentai (anime nudity) wasn't bad enough in the other 2, they made it worse. With clear detail of Haruna (who plays Tenchi's wife) nude. Not exactly what I was expecting. Anyways, the story is Tenchi leaves for a walk in the forest when Ayeka and Ryoko force him to choose between them and he somehow gets into another world - Haruna's world. Tenchi doesn't remember his other life and the girls begin their search for Tenchi. What's the relationship between Yosho and Haruna? Will they be able to get Tenchi back? These questions will be answered in the movie that makes you sit at the edge of your seat. Too bad they had to ruin it with the hentai, but if you don't mind it, you'll love this movie!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tenchi Muyo 2 Movie For Tenchi Muyo In LOVE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: tenchi finds a girl...sort of
Review: This movie started normal enough for the tenchi series, but once it really gets going, it begins to develop into a sad and romantic love story. if you love tenchi as it is, you might want to skip this one, but if you can stand two hours of no slapstick comedy or action then buy this. I felt the movie was good because you finally got to see a deeper side of ryoko and ayeka, and a deeper side of tenchi as well. This is a fitting end to a wonderful series
