Summary: Tenchi my Love!
Review: hi! space pyrate ryoko here.oO(muwahahahahaha!)this is the best tenchi that i've ever rented, i just love that ending song!(the funny japanese one =^.^=) i've been searching for this on video forever... though i think i may be better off with the dvd... if anyone knows please tell me! anyway i love this one because of the humor and the sadness going on. i'm glad to see that all of the charachters are here... it's not the same without mihoshi looking for that special crystal, making a total mess of her cabin, finaly realising it's on her wrist...if you've ever watched these in japanese, you can see that the names are pronounced differently, and the voices are vastly different. i'm not quite sure if they are better in japanese, but certainly, I LOVE TENCHI!(the show, not the guy! lol)

Summary: AWESOME MOVIE MUST BUY, MUST BUY!!
Review: I just got this movie and I watched it over and over and over again. It is fantastic!! There are a lot of sad parts in it though where Tenchi get's his heart ripped out because Sakuya dies because she is called "Yugi's Shadow" and Yugi takes her away and kills her. The end is really funny though! Besides Ryoko going swimming without a bathing suit on (don't worry you can't see anything, whew!)this movie is pretty good!! After you see it for the thousanth time like me the commersials get REALLY ANNOYING! Stupid Ryo-ohki (no offence to those fans of her's but if you buy this you will se what i mean)

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a nice wrap up to the new tenchi series
Review: Ok, a lot of people don't like Tenchi in Tokyo (Shin Tenchi for you die hard otaku out there) and I can see why. It IS different tenchi fare) I however was one of the few who really enjoyed the story If you have liked the series so far you will LOVE the ending because everything finally comes together and you get to see who sakuya REALLY is. ^_^

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: some of the most touching anime out there...
Review: Starting on this DVD, things start to get more serious. Sakuya realises she can't remember anything before she saw Tenchi. She gets very frightened and she won't let Tenchi do anything without her. Things keep building and the tension keeps growing... As I watched the end of episode 24, "Yugi's Shadow", I couldn't help but cry. This is one of the saddest anime episodes ever. "why did they have to do that??? i liked Sakuya so much!" This episode definetly knows how to rip your heart out. I don't think there is any sane human who can watch this episode and not feel strong emotions during the Tenchi and Sakuya flashback scene. At the last episode, Tenchi brings Yugi to justice -- but not the way you hoped he would. This final part of one of my favourite series really shows how much emotion can be evoked through animation.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Buy Tenchi Muyo and Tenchi Universe, rent this series.
Review: Tenchi in Tokyo was not a bad series, but it was a blemish on the Tenchi series. The animation was poor at best, and the story lacked the excitement and surprises that the OVA and first series brought to the screen. If you're a die hard Tenchi fan then by all means buy it, but if you want a better quality anime, go with Muyo and/or Universe.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shin Tenchi Muyo's brilliant ending!
Review: The final episodes in this collection show Shin Tenchi Muyo (Tenchi in Tokyo) at its best. Superbly-animated, intense, and thematically intriguing, the Shin Tenchi Muyo series is perhaps the finest of all the Tenchi series. It is to no suprise that the last few episodes are so skillfully executed and written; the ending, Tenchi's decision, is simply brilliant (as well as unexpected). With themes of friendship, love, and even non-violence (a respected heroic element!), the series as a whole is truly a piece of art, and in these last scenes, it is wrapped-up rather nicely, leaving room for reflection, appreciation, and future revisits.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fare ending to a fare series
Review: The grand finally to Tenchi in Tokyo should be a must-have for any Tenchi fan. As Sakuya is driven mad by the fact she knows nothing of her past, Washu discovers that Sakuya is actually a shadow of Yugi. Meanwhile, Kiyone and Mihoshi finish off Subaru and Ryoko takes care of Hotsuma. Yugi takes back control Sakuya, turns to Tokyo to crystal and has Sasami in her custody. Tenchi confronts Yugi with two options. Either he can stay in a dream world with Sakuya forever or sacrafice Sakuya to safe the earth. Tenchi says good bye to Sakuya and Ryoko, Aieka, Kiyone, Mihoshi and Washu all come to Tenchi's aid as well as Sasami. Tenchi summons up the ultimate sword (or power, whatever) and goes after Yugi. Suprisingly, instead of slicing Yugi with the sword, he just slaps some sense into her and comforts her. The show ends up with Yugi putting herself in sleep-mode until she is all grown up. Overall, I liked the ending as it serves up as the most intense volume ever. If you were confused about the last episodes, see this one. It will answer all your questions. Tenchi in Tokyo might not be everyone's favorite of the Tenchi saga, but it is still great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Final Conflict
Review: The last chapter in the Tenchi in Tokyo series is a worthy ending, and it's only at this point that several of the key questions are finally answered. At this stage we know roughly who Yugi is, but what is her interest and involvement with the Masaki family, and what are her motives, all is revealed in these final episodes. These final few chapters bring together all the past elements of the series, including some of the events, which at the time may have seemed a little strange or unrelated, but now can be explained, plus this DVD includes the pivotal final battle between Tenchi and Yugi. If like me, you bought the first Tenchi in Tokyo chapters, then simply had to buy the rest to follow the unravelling story, this final addition will not disappoint. The quality of the animation, like the entire Tokyo series, being TV derived is not quite up to the quality seen in the OAV series, however it has a unique style and in some ways is more real and the characters more expressive than seen in the OAV box set. I recommend this Tokyo series to anyone who has the OVA set and wants more. The quality may not be as good but the overall story, being slightly less fluffy makes up for any other short fallings. Does Ryoko or Ayeka ever get Tenchi? You'll have to watch these final episodes to find out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's Tenchi... but that;s about it
Review: the only reasons I can give this DVD 4stars is 1) Ryoko basically gets TEnchi in the end. 2)the shocking way Yugi is fought. 3) it's a Tenchi DVD, and in my opinion that's about as good as it gets.
Sadly, TEnchi in Tokyo, Shin Tenchi to some, isn't that great a series, but the plots are well thought out, even if the animation is lacking. IF you want good Tenchi DVD's check out the Tenchi Muyo OVA, that is the best of the best. This series is okay, but never will be as great as the original.
