Tenchi Muyo is is based around Tenchi Masaki, a high-school student, whose life is turned upside down after an encounter with a "demon" at a shrine in the mountains. The title can be read as meaning several things. Taken as a whole, tenchimuyou means this side up, so the title could be referring to Tenchi's quest to regain the normal life he once led. An alternative translation is No Need for Tenchi, or Useless Tenchi, which takes on extra meaning when it is revealed that there are two Tenchi's. Which Tenchi is the title referring to? This second translation is the most commonly accepted of the two.

To say more would spoil the surprise of the numerous plot twists thrown the viewer's way. Well, we can say that this story contains a humorous and quirky story line which often supplies hints in earlier episodes to later events you wouldn't guess would happen. It is a mixture of fantasy, Sci-Fi, comedy, and romance.

Did we lose anyone there? Anyway first comes "Tenchi Muyo!" then "Tenchi Universe!" and then "Tenchi in Tokyo" wraps it up. Depending on what series you're watching, the characters vary - both in background and what role they play and if they show up or not. And somewhat in they're appearance. Go to the characters page and there should be in little letters under they're name what of the three series mentioned they're in. You can click on their picture to see a different picture of them. They might look a little different, but it's them.

Okay that was a lot of characters, but that wasn't all of them... We'd better just wrap this little review up then. Uh-oh... Links... There are way too many good sites out there and so we don't have any time to name only a couple. So you know the drill, stop by Anipike and find your way to the Tenchi section. Sorry about not being able to name a couple of sites. -.-;;
