Summary: The plot for this movie is INGENIUS, it's a great story.
Review: This movie is great because its idea is so original. It's action packed and the characters actually think! It's beautifully animated and the scenery is just great. In case you didn't know this is called an anime (a sometimes violent adult animated feature from Japan). The action is great but not only that it is funny. This is what got me attatched to the whole Tenchi Muyo idea (I'm a big fan). Another Tenchi Muyo movie I've seen is pretty unoriginal (demon who tries to kill hero etc.) not that it's bad and I'm still glad I watched it but compared to this I expected better of it, especially since it's the second movie - I believe that second movies are better than the first but not in this case. If you are planning to watch any other Tenchi Muyo Movies WATCH THIS ONE FIRST! It gives a lot of background information. Then watch the second one (Daughter of Darkness) and then start watching the tv series. Believe me it will help you understand it a whole lot better than I did because I watched The movie THEN the tv series and the second movie (Daughter of Darkness). The whole Tenchi idea is great, the movies, the tv series, & the merchandise ( I have a Ryo-Ohki stuffed animal). Anyway the movie is funny, action-packed and magical. You have got to see it. I'd give it 10 stars but they won't let me.

Summary: The next best thing to Star Wars
Review: The best movie is Tenchi Muyo in Love. To sum up quickly. Tenchi Masaki is the heir to the Jurai royal family which members are inhereted to an incredible power. Tenchi's Grandfather,Yosho, left the planet Jurai to a peaceful life. Their, Yosho had a only daughter who died after a few years when Tenchi was born. The story of TMIL is about a great evil called Kain that escapes from the Galaxy Police HQ. Kain Travels back in time to destroy Tenchi's Mother and Grandfather. Now Tenchi and his friends: Ryoko, Ayeka, Sasami, Kiyone, Mihoshi, Washu and Ryo-oki must deguise themselves as students, Teachers and Janitors to help save Tenchi's mother. Tenchi Muyo in love is emotional powerhouse, We see a great concern for Tenchi's mother and father in their teenage years. We also see how Tenchi's freinds truly care for him. Why Tenchi Muyo is like Star Wars is because the movie focuses on the true story rather than the cool special effects. All characters have true personalities to them and we seem with great concern (Plus, Tenchi has a lightsaber like weapon). I can't stress enough how fantasic this movie is. In my opinion, Tenchi Muyo ending will have you in pure emotional shock because of its sensitivity. It is true movie magic. END

Summary: One of the best Yet!!
Review: One word can describe this anime.WOW!. This is one of my favorite anime movies of all time. I recently started watching tenchi muyo and it was one of the best. This movie has it all, a great story line, great characters and great music. In the series it didn't tenchi's mother much and this movie just says it all. His mom has got to be by far one of the best characters that I've seen so far. So if your a tenchi muyo fan and you don't own this movie: WHATS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: KAAAIIINNNN!!!!
Review: A ruthless, merciless, super-criminal has escaped from sub-space, where he was being held. He had been put there by the combined forces of the Galaxy Police and the Jurai Royal Family. Now to get back at them he will travel back in time, to 1970, to kill Tenchi's mother! Does that make sense? No? Well, don't worry about it, because this is TENCHI: The Movie, also known as Tenchi Muyo In Love.
Tenchi and the gang, including Kiyone, go back to stop Kain from killing his mom and erasing him from history forever. This seems to be a normal Tenchi adventure, with a tad more blood than normal. And I'm not sure who Tench is in love with, but lets not go there. Just enjoy the time travel and the combat.
Kain, on the other hand, could of used more help as a character. That's why it has only four stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tenchi Is here again!
Review: Three words: Buy anything that says "Tenchi" or "Tenchi Muyo!" on it. period.Ok. that was 11 woeds but hey, who's counting? The Entire line of Tenchi movies and TV shows are some of the funniest things I've ever seen-Japan or anywhere. Good times with the OVA series as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another wonderful addition to the universe of Tenchi
Review: I would always suggest the DVD version of any Anime over the VHS, as you can really tell the difference in quality. This fact is the only thing keeping this video from being 5 stars in my book.

This first movie in the Tenchi series is a masterpiece. Not only do we get an hour and a half version of the TV series (which is great in its own right), but we get to see Tenchi's mom and dad as teenagers. Achika is everything you would think the mother of Tenchi would be: Strong, serious, independent, and capable of incredible power. We also get an answer to why Achika, the daughter of Yosho, and presumably a powerful Jurai, died when Tenchi was a boy.

Normally, I cringe watching dubbed Anime. Many times American localization: translation and voice casting, results in a horrible piece of work. But with Tenchi there is both a decent translation and fabulous voicework. They say their lines with the right tone, pitch and inflections, and they are just the right kinds of voices for the roles they play (KT Vogt as Washu is one of my favorites). So don't even listen to people when they tell you Tenchi Dubbed is bad.

The only confusion of the story is the title. The movie revolves around Tenchi's parents as teenagers, and saving Tenchi's mother from being killed by a great evil. THEY are the ones who fall in love, not Tenchi, but no matter, it's still a great movie.
