Another classic to enjoy
Before the age of internet downloads, cable tv was just starting, and dvd's - the only way a person could have enjoyed anime was to go to stores like FYE (Camelot and Suncoast at the time) and Bestbuy and load up on overpriced VHS tapes - but there was some lights to the fledgling American Anime fans - these were Robotech, Star Blazers, Voltron, Sailor Moon (sorry but it is true), and TENCHI.
Poor Tenchi - he is a 16 year old earthling who lives with his father and grandfater who is a priest at a local shrine but his world is about to take a complete 180 when a spaceship lands in the lake that he is standing at and sees a cute, but drunk lady. When she comes to, she says she is Ryoko, and an evil space pirate is pursuing her - then a giant suit of combat armor appears and attacks. Soon the "pirate" is discovered to be everyones favorite ditzy detective Mihoshi and Ryoko is the evil space pirate. This starts the story, and as Tenchi puts it the carnival that his life will...
The best Tenchi series
Tenchi Universe was the first series I ever bought on DVD. I saw the series on TV and decided I had to have it. Tenchi Universe has everything you could hope for in an anime. Great characters, comedy, romance, action and sci-fi adventure. Universe has a much more cohesive story line than the other seasons. Although the whole Tenchi series is good there are lots of holes in the plots. Universe makes more sense. The ending of this series is by far the best as well. You have got to watch Tenchi Universe.
Still the best harem anime series after 15 years.
Tenchi Universe is not a sequel to the original Tenchi Muyo anime. It's more or less a reboot of the franchise. It would not be the only reboot they did as they did the same with the Tenchi in Tokyo series.
Universe still has the same concept as the original series though. Tenchi meets some strange women and wacky hijinks happen. Unlike the original series though, the story revovles more around Ayeka this time though. Which is fair because in the original series, Ryoko and Washu tended to have more of the story about them and their enemies. This series also marks the debut of fan-favorite Kiyone to the franchise.
She is Mihoshi's partner in the Galaxy Police, who just can't endure Mihoshi's problems...all she wants to be a top officer in the GXP, but with Mihoshi as her partner, that's near impossible.
The Main characters from the original series return but their stories have been tweaked. For example, in the original series the monster in the shrine...
