It's a measure of her self-confidence and maturity that she does not blow everyone's secrets out of the water take control. Washu is in her own words "so many things really." some of these include being Ryoko's mother, the greatest scientific mind in the universe, and the one person who sees all that is going on behind the scenes. She's somewhat interested in Tenchi, but isn't focused enough to compete with the highly competitive duo of Ryoko and Ayeka. She plays the dumb blond of the group, but her forthright nature wins many over. She's clumsy and not very diligent in her duties but her luck seems to land her in trouble and good fortune simultaneously. Referred to by Washu as a "genius of pure luck". All this while holding back a secret that she fears will tear her from the others. She bonds quickly with Ryo-Ohki and cooks most of the meals for the household. Despite being the youngest in the house, she often displays the most maturity. Presenting herself as younger and more proper than Ryoko, it's often hinted that her mind isn't as chaste as her act. Washu implies that her aggressive sexuality is a front to protect her sensitive feelings for Tenchi.Īyeka, is the pampered princess of Jurai who arrives on Earth to arrest Ryoko but instead ends up her primary rival for his affections. She's the first to fall for Tenchi and is very aggressive in her affection for him. She's linked to her ship/ pet cabbit (rabbit/cat) Ryo-Ohki and has quite the interesting pedigree from both parents. Ryoko, the demon from the cave and former space pirate. In true anime teen fashion, he acts a perfect gentleman around the ladies and though not oblivious to their charms, he refuses some very blatant offers I have to add that the original voice acting english cast was great, and funimation really screwed up with the 3rd OVA and will burn in the fiery pits for the abomination of the GXP crossover.Ĭharacter: The main character is Tenchi, high school student and usually studious, courteous, and not very rebellious except for the carefully nutured interest in the cave. Sound: Nothing to rock out to, but it all works. All of them are uniquely animated, wear different outfits and hairstyles which helps show the attention to detail. That being said it's beautifully animated though the characters sometimes are simple looking due to the style at the time. The interesting question is, how much of this did Grandpa plan out?Īrt: Done in the mid-90's it's cel animation. As Noike mentions in the 3rd OVA, the Masaki household rates as a galatic superpower by the end of the series.

Of course he accidentally frees the demon which sets into motion a complex series events that involves all the great powers of the universe. He then explores a cave that family lore claims to house a "demon". Story: The story starts with Tenchi, mischievous grandson of a shrinekeeper, stealing the keys to the shrine from his grandpa. It's heartwarming, romantic, raunchy,įunny, dramatic, and even is a mystery at times.
The fact that each of the women have complex and fascinating pasts and facets to their character is something unique to this genre. It is the definitive "harem" anime, while maintaining a great plot and fascinating universe/backstory. I know I'm not in the majority on this, but it succeeds on every level. The last 7 episodes were written in order to accomodate the GXP storyline and were created over 10 years later, so I personally consider them almost a separate series. I'm writing this review about episode 1-13 of the original OVAs. Through his encounters with these five women, Tenchi begins to learn more about his ancestry, newfound power, and the looming threat lurking beyond the skies. After seeing this, Ryouko takes an interest in her unlikely savior and decides to crash at his place.Īs if it were a chain reaction, more alien women-Aeka Jurai Masaki, an uptight princess from the planet Jurai Sasami, Aeka's sweet younger sister Mihoshi Kuramitsu, a ditzy Galactic Police Officer and Washuu Hakubi, a wisecracking genius-gradually come in contact with Tenchi and begin living with him. Furious about being trapped for so long, she attacks Tenchi, but he is able to repel her with the sword, awakening his inner power. Thinking that the story is nothing more than a fairy tale, he removes the blade and inadvertently releases the demon, who turns out to be a space pirate named Ryouko Hakubi. When curiosity gets the better of him, Tenchi goes to the cave and stumbles across the sword from the legend. Seventeen-year-old Tenchi Masaki grew up hearing stories about how his ancestor used a sword to seal a demon inside a cave seven hundred years ago.
