Tenchi!

[eatpork]

How come this isn't more popular on this site?

[Shian Kiri]

We had a forum for it and then it went away with the garbage that was known as Tenchi GXP.

Hey! I resent that Tenchi and Garbage can be used in one sentence...TAKE IT BACK! :angry:

Weird that this forum is here i just recently decided to re-watch the Tenchi series again. Now i have some where to discuss my Tenchi needs w00t!

[yukito]

I liked the first series of tenchi

[eatpork]

Pay your respects to the greatest harem anime ever made.... I'm talking about the Tenchi series for any of your smartasses.

[Naruto_Punk]

<3 this series to death...Favorite of all time!

[eatpork]

Good man, mine too.

[kennakai]

tenchi muyo and tenchi univers were good
tenchi in tokyo was alright but i never watched any of the other series

[Baka Bunny]

I've seen them all... including the Pretty Sammy anime and the Tenchi movies, and even the Agga Ruta hentai.

The original series was great, and Universe was also very good. Tenchi is the show that brought in a lot of anime fans in the late 90's... it was one of the first anime Cartoon Network aired, so it still holds a special place in a lot of fans' hearts.

I think it confused a lot of people, though, because each new series was completely unrelated to the last except for the same characters (Ryoko was a demon in one, a space pirate in another, a naughty schoolgirl in another, etc).

But, Tenchi Muyo and Universe still rank in my top 10 anime of all time. Besides, for many older anime fans, the first naked anime babe they ever saw was Ryoko :-)

Yeah, the first Tenchi series was good. Then GXP came out and it just didn't fit.

[NerveShatter369]

i only liked tenchi ryo-ohki and universe never cared for gxp or tokyo.

[eatpork]

I remember liking Tokyo, it's not as good as the others, true, but it wasn't bad at all.

I've been going my whole life saying that Universe was my favorite series, but I recently rewatched it and it wasn't that good. It wasn't as funny as the OVA's and the story wasn't as deep. But OVA has it's flaws too, I never liked the idea of Tenchi's dad being a Jurian as well, and I love Achika. Then there's the big one: no Kiyone, just that stupid Noike ***** who was a wannabe Kiyone. Also, the whole incest thing.... If they could somehow come up with a new series that mixes the elements of the OVAs with Universe, it'd be perfect.

Yeah that would be perfect to mix elements of both series, I didnt like third OVA that much i thought it sucked, universe was my favorite.

The third OVA was okay i agree but, It was Tenchi so i loved it.

[WildStar]

I agree that having no Kiyone makes the OVA a little less fun. That and some of the other things like Tenchi's father being a Jurian and all that. Totally agree with you. Still, I loved watching Tenyi Muyo and the latest part of the OVA in Ryo Ohki. It was a nice anime and one of the many that I loved in the 90's.

Tenchi Universe was classic. I wish they had done something like that again after Tokyo but they went and gave us GXP which wasnt even liked in Japan. It just wasn't Tenchi. I remember so many people having problems with Tokyo but I guess it grew on them over the years.

The movies were alot of fun. My favorite was the first followed by the one that had some girl crushing on Tenchi and naked in a hotspring. I can't remember much....I guess I'll go and rewatch that. XD

It's sad that we don't have a Tenchi forum any longer. I posted there more than most places.

[Zack_fair]

i dont feal alone here wow other peps who grew up watching tenchi

[Yumi]

Wow. Tenchi? I haven't seen or heard of this show in ages. My gosh, how old is this?

[Doctor J.P. Daly]

Tenchi Muyo. Jesus, it’s been awhile since I've gotten aquatinted with that show. I remember being twelve years old and catching that on Toonami back when it was showing the classics like "Outlaw Star" before the good stuff got shipped to Midnight Run (and eventually Adult Swim.). It was funny; because I had to make sure my mom didn't catch me watching it because she disliked it for the obvious reasons, of course. Those were the days, folks.

Hah, a fun little note is that this was before I discovered manga and MST'ing bad lemon fanfiction on the TMFFA. Now those were good times.

[eatpork]

Well, I don't care how old it is, it's still the best anime ever. You young whipper snappers with your Bleach and your Code Geass and your Death Note don't know what real anime is!

[Doctor J.P. Daly]

Well, I don't care how old it is, it's still the best anime ever. You young whipper snappers with your Bleach and your Code Geass and your Death Note don't know what real anime is!

Hah, my friend is in love with Code Geass and keeps showing me all of this fan video bullsh*t on YouTube that I don't care about. My thing is that once you've seen the classics, the more famous ones? You've seen them all, basically. It's harder to get me hooked on an anime than it was when I was a youngin'.

Can't say I've seen all the classics, my viewings of various anime is sparce. I'm more of a manga reader myself.

[Yumi]

Well, I don't care how old it is, it's still the best anime ever. You young whipper snappers with your Bleach and your Code Geass and your Death Note don't know what real anime is!
You just perfectly described all the anime my best friend, Julie likes. She's such a geek.

I've loved Tenchi Muyo for ages.

This also makes me think of Sailor Moon. Basically all the good stuff that used to be shown on Toonami, remember that sh*t?

[Calbob]

toonami beat fox kids all day long

[Doctor J.P. Daly]

Indeed. As I've said before those were the good ol' days. You tend to wonder how those shows made it to basic cable without the channel exec's slamming the b&hammer down immediately.

[Mid.night]

Well, I don't care how old it is, it's still the best anime ever. You young whipper snappers with your Bleach and your Code Geass and your Death Note don't know what real anime is!
You said it. :D I can't stand the Bleach and Death Note tards. It's everywhere! ._. I don't know about Code Geass though because I've never really looked into it.

I remember all that good stuff. The line up was around Sailor Moon, Tenchi, Outlaw Star, and Dragon Ball Z I think. I believe Yu Yu Hakusho was thrown in the mix as well?

@Calbob: I loved Ryoko.

[Yumi]

Yeah! Eternal love for YYH, Mid.night! ETERNALLL.

All hail the ancient and powerful Toonami line-up!

[Doctor J.P. Daly]

I remember when they had the run of the original "Mobile Suit Gundam". That was something to behold. And it was right after Outlaw Star too. Double Whammy!

[Kyuu]

How come this isn't more popular on this site?

It's OLD and discussion on it is pretty much dead. Nevertheless, Tenchi is one of the best series out there -- despite the franchise dying by the later series - starting with Tenchi in Tokyo. As for Pretty Sammy, I flat out ignored that one.

[kyokyo]

Tenchi was probably the first anime I've ever stuck with, which led me to the anime fan I am now... so it holds a place in my heart. I remmeber watching it on the international channel every chance I could get. My favorite was Universe... they're the only Tenchi dvds I collected... but I have to admit I liked the depth of OVA more. Like many of you said, what made Universe a little better was Kiyone's character.

[Naruto_Punk]

Yes...If it wasn't for Tenchi i probably wouldn't have been that big on anime but, Seeing those characters react to each other and seeing a series that really just basically focused on everyday life really caught my attention to anime and....I been hooked ever since.


Ahhh the good ol' days.......

[shadowAnitez]

I'am a HUGE freak of a fan of tenchi muyo.
I own the tenchi OVA serise and the whole tenchi muyo movie boxset collection
just need the tenchi muyo in tokyo serise now >_>
its the only one i havent seen or own yet lol

Washu is my favorite ^-^ she is mad as XD

[Arinamoon]

Ok how many tenchi series are there. I used to love the first one that they had on tv in the 90's. Can someone help me like with a list of them in order i want to go back and watch them at one point and dont know where to start. Tenchi Muyo was soo great one of my first anime series that was a long time ago though.

In order it would look something like this.

Tenchi Muyo! (13 eps)

Tenchi Universe (26 eps)

Tenchi In Tokyo (26 eps)

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki 3rd OVA (6 eps)


Bit confusing when you get into the whole "OVA specials" (I.E Mihoshi special) but, I would just watch it like that beside its Tenchi anyway you watch it...It's great.

And then of course theres the 3 movies, Pretty Sammy and the fan hated Tenchi GXP which a lot would say to skip i haven't seen it so i cant tell you yes or no.

Hope that helps....If you want more info just wiki it.

[Arinamoon]

Thank you so much im guna save this in my must see list!

[mf wes]

I have recently started watching this show(Tenchi Muyo, to clarify) again. I love going back to a show I haven't seen for 10 years(OMG!) and thinking about the characters as they were at the beginning. Take for instance Tenchi, he seems so naive. Oh the little scamp.

BTW would this be considered the first harem anime?

Perhaps the first pure harem anime (though, I'm no anime historian), meaning it was the first to use the formula of a bunch of hot chicks living in a house with a gay guy they all have the hots for.

[SeIrOmEm]

I remember Tenchi from back when I was like 12 years old! or was it 11? *shrugs* It was awesome >.< what ever happened to it anyhow? Not to mention Toonami all together?

[demon-metalhead-pirate-ry]

[demon-metalhead-pirate-ry]

Tenchi is not gay...He's just not a perverted freak (Like most of us ;)) and he just doesn't want to "hit" on anyone because he thinks of all the girls as family...However yes there is some sexual tension there (obviously) but thats perfectly natural....If there wasn't then i would rethink Tenchi's preference. :confused:

Just a bunch of haters. (cant stand it that he has a house of women ;) )

[Naruto_Punk]

Totally agree....STOP TENCHI HATIN'!! :mad:

[Brandandy]

I love Tenchi! I recently bought the Tenchi in Tokyo series and the 1st volume of GXP. The movies are my favorite (Esp. the 2nd one.).

[Brandandy]

I love all the Tenchi series (Except GXP. I haven't seen it yet.). Ayeka is the best! I'll never get tired of Tenchi ;).

[King of Horror]

tenchi muyo and tenchi univers were good
tenchi in tokyo was alright but i never watched any of the other series

Same here. Actually I never knew there was more. The first three series were good.

[Clayton]

I enjoyed it when I found out that Tenchi was based on "I dream of Jeannie". It totally makes sense if you think about it. Ha!

Of course we all know RYOKO is the one who gets him in the end.

Tenchi in Tokyo... how can I express my hatred of Sakuya? I mean besides the time i replaced her in the "Ways to kill Barney" list? She ruined Tenchi and RYoko's date!

On the other hand Tenchi and Ryoko had a date and in he end as always it had the two of them alone together.

[Arinamoon]

I just bought all the tenchi movies I had always had the first one Tenchi Muyo in love on vhs but not dvd. I have to say I do like all the movies even though the third one is pretty long it wasnt that bad. I also just bought the first series and im waiting on it.I cant wait to watch it I remember when it was on tv it was such a good anime its deff up in my favorites.

[Clayton]

I actually wrote about 400 tenchi fan fics...
