It's not going too far in my mind to say it is THE harem anime.
It's not a stretch to say that Tenchi is what got me into anime along with Outlaw Star on the legendary Toonami block a few yonks and a half back now. As a result, fans of the OVA, and fans of harems in general, should enjoy this series.Įspecially given that everyone and their dog's probably seen Tenchi Muyo (Universe/TV aka the one who's page you're on). Viewers don't get stuck with empty fillers there is always something going on whether or not the story has picked up. The best points about Tenchi Universe is how nicely it transitions. Bolder content, like nudity, swearing and sexual references, is a lot more minimal. Audio is backed with a library of different music, spot-on sound effects and believably acted voices. The artwork is less shaded and the animation isn't as fluid but it all still looks good. The story is similar to the first series: progressive events cause an assemblage of characters, mishaps create subplots, a threatening antagonist later appears and the group pits to stop them.
TENCHI MUYO HAREM SERIES
Like its inspiration, the series remains a harem comedy, following the tangled life of Tenchi Masaki and his extraterrestrial visitors. Tenchi Universe is a spin-off to Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki. Though the girls are a pain, Tenchi begins to form a close relationship with each of them, and through their bond, he begins to gain a better understanding of his role in the universe. As a result, they just end up making a mess and causing trouble for poor Tenchi. The six women do their best to adapt to their new lives, but their more advanced and exotic lifestyle does not mesh well with the simplistic customs on Earth. This includes the delicate Princess Aeka of Jurai and her playful younger sister Princess Sasami the scatterbrained first-class detective Mihoshi Kuramitsu and her more capable partner Kiyone Makibi and the eccentric, mad scientist Washuu Hakubi.

However, the same organization who deceived Kenshi is secretly working inside and against the academy, where a worldwide conflict is about to begin.Tenchi Masaki's life changes forever when the ship of an infamous space pirate, Ryouko Hakubi, is shot down and crashes near his family's temple.
