With all these bad points, it sounds like I hate tenchi muyo, doesn't it ? Well I don't, I think its very solid and its good qualities are very strong. And while we are on the subject of the shows bad points, ive got to say that the thinly veiled sexism that creeps up in the show is something that we could have done with out. Oh, and speaking of uneven, tenchi muyo doesn't keep the same pace throughout, resulting in a show that can be heart stopping and exciting some times, and just plain boring the next. Another one of the shows negative factors is that it constantly moves from being sci-fi to a slapstick comedy to a romantic drama to an action drama, all very quickly, making the show feel uneven.

in fact, no STEALS ideas from star wars, urusei yatsura and sailor moon just to name a few. Wrong things such as it being unoriginal : tenchi muyo borrows. This isn't to say that tenchi muyo is bad, but it is to say that there are a lot of things wrong with it. However, just because the adventures of tenchi and co are appreciated by many, that doesn't make it the best series you'll see. With its active imagination and bright coulors, its easy to see why tenchi muyo is a firm favourite to many fans of Japanese animation. Tenchi manages to defeat her with the sword's help, but this is only the beginning of a hilarious Japanese romantic comedy OAV (Original Animation Video, the Japanese equivalent of American made-for-video movies) series which has spawned several spin-off OAVs, soundtrack and drama CDs, and a new TV series in Japan. At school, Tenchi is again attacked by the oni, whose name is Ryouko, who has now completely revived herself.

Tenchi flees the cave in a panic, and later returns to high school, taking the hilt-seemingly all that remains of the ancestral sword-with him. When he enters this cave, he finds that, much to his surprise, the legend is indeed true when the oni's dessicated skeletal form ("mira"-Japanese mummy) comes to life and attacks him. One day, Tenchi manages to steal the key to a mysterious cave where an oni (Japanese demon) is said to have been sealed away by his ancester Yoshou, whose sword still stands guard over it. Tenchi Masaki is a normal high school student in Japan, who spends the summers doing chores around his grandfather's family shrine.
