Tenchi, the luckiest guy on Earth. Or is he? Surrounded by 5 women who all want him for themselves, Tenchi sure has a handful! If he chooses one, there's sure going to be a fight! This hilarious action-comedy is another one of the best Anime I've seen. After Tenchi releases the Space Pirate Ryoko from her cave prison, all hell breaks loose! Ryoko is detected by Princess Ayeka's spaceship, (Princess of the Jurai royal family) Who, unknowingly has Sasami tagging along on board, then, in a fight between Ryoko and Ayeka, Ryoko creates an energy pocket summoning a demon, which pulls the spaceship of Galaxy Police Mihoshi down through a black hole. Mihoshi was pursuing a criminal Kagato, who steals Ryoko back, and on board his spaceship, Mihoshi accidentally releases Ryoko's Mom, Little Washu. After all is said and done, there are 5 alien women at Tenchi's home, and all want his love! This is a very popular series, and a great one at that. Very, VERY funny.

This is another branch off in the Tenchi World. All is the same, except Washu isn't after Tenchi. The characters are also introduced differently. I like the OAV series better because it goes slower (Which is a good thing, this series whizzes by, too fast for me) and it has a better plot. But, all Tenchi is good Tenchi.

Tenchi 2. I love this movie! An excellent branch in the Tenchi series. Don't let the length fool you, this is a great movie. (And a must see for Ryoko fans) One day while coming back from the cemetery, Tenchi is confronted by a mysterious (and strange) woman. She calls him "Daddy", and we all can suspect how Ayeka and Ryoko feel about this. Who is the mother? Tenchi, the father is also quite struck himself. Mayuka, his daughter, seems unaffected by everyone and goes about being as weird as ever. Get this movie!
