DVD Reviews of Tenchi In Tokyo - A New Start (Vol. 1) (Geneon Signature Series)
DVD Review: Disgrace to Tenchi's name!!
Summary: 1 Stars
To all those who are reading the reviews for this awful series, I'm hear to tell you they are correct! I'm am an avid Tenchi fan and own the Tenchi Muyo OVA and Tenchi Universe box sets and have watched both series several times they are that good of Anime. I could not believe what I got myself into when I watched this mess with Tenchi in the title. I thank God that I watched Tenchi in Tokyo when it was on Cartoon Network when I was a kid and not waste good money on it (breath of relief). I thought I was missing something back then, but now that I am older and still watch Tenchi Muyo and Tenchi Universe, it is more evident to me how bad this series is. But why is it so bad?! The artwork is horrible, for example the characters' eyes are tiny lifeless pupils instead of the big, bright and shining irises they usually have. The characters are completely different and unsympathetic including Princess Ayeka who is a character I have always loved and cared for, but is portrayed in Tenchi in Tokyo as a psychotic maniac. However the most important factor is Tenchi himself who is vastly different acting as a cold, inept person towards his friends as if he does not want to have anything to do with them. Watching the series I will never understand why Tenchi falls for the plain Sakuya, wanting to be with her instead of the colorful ladies in his life. To put it simply, there was never a moment in the entire series where I felt attached or cared what happened to her. In truth I did not care about Tenchi or anybody in "Tokyo" at all unlike in Tenchi Muyo and Tenchi Universe where you fall in love with the characters they become apart of your life. In addition to the terrible treatment of the protagonist, Tenchi in Tokyo had a very bland antagonist in the form of Yugi who never performs any of her mischief and instead sits back and allows her work to take control by itself. This would be acceptable except she is used in this fashion for every episode stripping her of a real evil persona. Yugi is far inferior when matched with the villains in T.M. and T.U. I am grateful the story elements in Tenchi in Tokyo were changed and altered with no connection to the other two wonderful series. The music again was a big minus grounding the look and feel of the show in the realm of a teen soap opera instead of the majestic scores that gave T.M and T.U a grand, epic universe. For those of you who are watching Tenchi for the first time avoid Tenchi in Tokyo and stay with Tenchi Muyo and Tenchi Universe. I do not consider Tenchi in Tokyo a Tenchi series at all but a poorly executed anime.
