DVD Reviews of Tenchi in Tokyo, Vol. 5: A New Love

DVD Review: Volume 5 of the Tenchi In Tokyo series.
Summary: 5 Stars

Ayeka has become paranoid about Tenchi and Sakuya. What really seems to upset her is that nobody else seems to care. Ryoko TRUSTS Tenchi! As Ayeka and Sasami try to reach Tokyo Yugi arranges for them to be side-tracked by a female biker and her obsession for a super-fast male jogger.
Then Amagasaki, a friend of Tenchi, starts to become a pest, hanging around Tenchi and Sakuya way too much, so Yugi sends a spirit of a female wrestler to keep him away from them.
In the end, it's the action of the girls themselves who drive angery Tenchi into Sakuya's waiting arms. At the carnival the two kiss, right in front of Ryoko.
This is a great DVD, really showing the changes that happen within Ryoko and allows you to almost feel the hurt she feels in those last scenes, as she watches Tenchi kiss another girl in front of a full moon.

DVD Review: the best of Tenchi In Tokyo
Summary: 4 Stars

In my opinion, these three episodes are the best in this series. While the animation in Tenchi In Tokyo is not as sweet as Tenchi Muyo, i think the storyline's better. These episodes have different faces. it's funny, sad, romantic, and even makes you angry at times.

The first episode, "Tokyo Or Bust", is a humorous episode as Ayeka (dragging along Sasami) try to get to Tokyo to talk to Tenchi. In order to get there faster, they team up with the mysterious biker Masayo. The man she wants to be with is a very fast traveller, and Masayo is always trying to catch up to him with her bike. This episode is crazy... one of the better Tenchi episodes.

The other two episodes take place at Tenchi's school at the time of the Carnival. It centres around the relationship with Sakuya, but the Okayama gang shows up and Washu trashes the school with another one of her bizarre inventions! Tenchi and Sakuya also get much closer.

It's surprising to see anime that is this entertaining. The fun is brought out by the exaggerated physics, sparse dialogue, and obscure depictions of human love. This DVD is one to check out.


DVD Review: The turning point of a very strange series!!!
Summary: 4 Stars

There is no end to the ongoing battle among Tenchi fans concerning the Tenchi in Tokyo series. Many genuinely enjoy the series' unusual animation and more light-hearted approach, while many others feel that TinT is far too slapstick in nature for what is one of the best and most popular ongoing anime sagas. However, anyone who has seen Tenchi in Tokyo agrees that this volume contains the turning point of the series, both in style and content.

Early episodes of Tenchi in Tokyo appear to have been aimed at a relatively young target audience. The action is slapstick in nature, and the "SuperDeformed" style of animation is resorted to frequently. In fact, much of the story line is just plain silly.

However, with episodes 15 and 16, the series makes a sharp turn toward the better. The animation settles into a more conventional and familiar style, the story becomes much more sober and mature, and the relationships among the characters start to solidify. In particular, the interplay between Tenchi, Sakuya and Ryoko in the last two episodes of this volume becomes very intense and often poignant. From this point on, Tenchi in Tokyo is a series to be reckoned with.

For those who enjoyed TinT, this is the pivotal volume, and likely a favorite. For those who can't quite make up their minds, this is the volume to start with.

Either way, if you are a Tenchi fan, or just interested in some entertaining romantic comedy, this is a very good DVD.


DVD Review: Tenchi's in Love!
Summary: 4 Stars

I believe this movie is truly sweet. This time, Tenchi meets a girl(Sakuya) in Tokyo. I feel sorry for both Ryoko and Ayeka. Meanwhile, back in the countryside, things are really falling apart. This movie is really wonderful.

DVD Review: It is another great Tenchi Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Like the rest of the Tenchi in Tokyo series, it follows the TV show version of Tenchi, I personally like the OVA charactors better (hence the 4 stars) but, it is done to the usual quality standards. I will say one thing directly about the movie though, "Poor Ryoko."

Description of Tenchi in Tokyo, Vol. 5: A New Love

Nothing can come between Sakuya and Tenchi. First, when Ayeka and Sasami try to hitch-hike to Tokyo, Yugi arranges for them to meet up with an aggressive woman on a motorcycle with an obsession for an impossibly fast jogger. Then, when Tenchi's friend Amagasaki threatens to break up the pair's romantic mood with interruptions, Yugi sends a spirit in the form of a professional female wrestler to intervene. Finally though, it is the bumbling nature of Ayeka, Mihoshi, Washu, and even Ryo-ohki that drives Tenchi to protect Sakuya from them when they accidentally destroy half of the culture festival at Tenchi's High School!
