Tenchi Muyo OVA - (Vol. 1) (Geneon Signature Series) [DVD]

As a huge Tenchi fan that grew up watching it when Cartoon Network actually showed cartoons and Toonami I really really enjoy Tenchi Muyo! It's ashamed to see that it is not as popular as it was before but things change but let me get back on the actual DVD,It's has 4 Episodes from the 1st Tenchi Series which is the OVA and not any of the other ones that you may have seen or encountered (like Universe or Tokyo) it's starts off with Tenchi trying to get into this cave but his grandpa (who is actually the runaway prince of Jurai, Yosho) forbids him. In a comedic twist he ends up getting the keys to the cave and from there he meets a mummified Ryoko who his grandpa Yosho defeated long ago. Now Tenchi being scared leaves the cave but takes with him the sword named "Tenchi" as well. Later on he meets Ryoko rejunvinated and looking sexier than before wants revenge on Tenchi since she as she puts it "wants revenge and doesn't care whether he is Yosho or not." Tenchi in another comedic twist cuts off Ryoko's hand and "defeats her". Even though she lost, she has the ability of rengeneration so her hand is okay. In the end Tenchi returns home to find a nice surprise in store for him in his bed. ;)The next episode basically introduces Ayeka, Sasami and Nobuyuki (Tenchi's Dad) but I won't go and summarize it since people probably want to see it for themselves. Anyway, this DVD only has four episodes but is much much cheaper than the actual OVA boxset, which is about 100 dollars here on Amazon, so if you want to own the OVAs I'd recommend buying these DVDs instead but overall, if you're a fan of the Toonami anime classics like Dragon Ball, One Piece and Outlaw Star then you'll love Tenchi Muyo!5 Stars out of 5! (I'd give it 10 though. :D)

This DVD contains the first 4 episodes of the tenchi muyo OVA that started it all.the episodes are1 Ryoko Resurrected2 here comes Ayeka3 hello Ryo-ohki4 Mihoshi falls to the land of starsThe qualaty of this DVD is excelent it has both japanese and english tracks with english subtitels. In case you are wondering yes it's the real deal not bootleg crap.Many people are confused about the order in wich the tenchi series was made this OVA in three volumes is what started it all, it is fallowed by tenchi universe the TV series, then tenchi in tokyo the TV series. There are 3 movies and a spin of series called tench muyo galaxy police there is also anouther ova.I hope you find my review helpfull I <3 Tenchi!! 5 stars!!
