Movie Reviews of Tenchi Muyo Ryo Ohki: Box Set The Complete Series
Movie Review: Damn.... So much Potential.....
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, lemmie begin with this: I was introduced to this fantastic series through Cartoon Network's Adult Swim (or Toonami). This is what got me into anime (Along with Cowboy Bebop), as the series (the OVA Ryo-Ohki that is)was well scripted, risque, hilarious and drama/action packed ALL AT ONCE. It ranks up as probably my favorite TV show o' all time. So needless to say, I was ecstatic to learn they would finally be releasing the continuing story to the old series. Now, let's just say, this series doesn't suck. As a matter of opinion, it's actually rather good (though they should have payed Ryoko's original OD-er to come back); the plot can be rather twisty at points, but the comedy is still zany and laugh out loud funny. Also, as opposed to what some fans might have thought, I rather liked the new animation. That said, there was so much more potential here. Personally speaking, if they want to redeem this OVA set, they need to make another fourth one to explain this one AS WELL as the leftovers from OVAs one and two. Kinda saddening really, but that just means (I assume) that we'll be seeing more Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki in the future; just hopefully not another ten years so. Bottom line; if you really like the series, you'll overlook the flaws in this set and buy it, as it really is pretty good anyway. Hopefully though, they will continue this series and keep good ol' Tenchi alive. Cheers.Movie Review: Tenchi Muyo Ryo Ohki Box Set
Summary: 3 Stars
In this series, many of Ayeka and Sasami's relatives come down to earth to share some exciting news with Tenchi. For those of you who may have seen episodes on Cartoon Network, the series is the one where Ryo Ohki is a child-like creature instead of her usual bunny sized self. I recomend this Tenchi series for the more die hard Tenchi fans out there; although there are humorous moments, this series is more dramatic than other series like Tenchi in Tokyo or Tenchi Universe. It is a little short also. Mihoshi fans, definately check this set out, for Kione fans, sorry, she's is not in this series.Movie Review: False Advertisment
Summary: 2 Stars
It says on the cover that this is The Complete Series. It is in fact the last 7 episodes to a 20 episode series. AKA: You get ripped off.
The Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki series is in fact the first series in the Tenchi Muyo universe. It was released in 3 OVA seasons. The first season had 7 episodes in it, and the second had 6. Both of those seasons were played on Cartoon Network back in 2000 on Toonami. OVA Season 3 is what you get if you buy this item. It is simply the last 7 episodes to the entire series, along with some bonus material.
Movie Review: Why Ruin a Good Thing *Possible Spoilers*
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a huge Tenchi fan and waited excitedly for this next installment, but I was severely disappointed. One issue was because Petra Burchard the voice actress for Ryoko was replaced by Mona Marshall who did not in anyway do justice to Ryoko's character. Another issue is that if you have not seen the spin off Tenchi Muyo GXP (that has nothing to really do with the Tenchi Series) you will not understand several of the new characters that were added. There were too many confusing aspects to this series to actually be able to call it a sequel. I was happy that most of the main voice cast stayed but that didn't help the bad story line.
There was an episode where the red hair ties in Sasami's hair were used as weapons and that never happened in the original. Noike the new girl in Tenchi's life is supposedly his fiance and yet she's a traitor. Also there was something at the end about a female Nakago. To refresh memories Nakago was the the villain in the last series who kidnapped Ryoko. It's not really explained about this female child version or what she's about.
The only good aspect was that the animation was an improvement, but I must say as other reviewers had mentioned that if you are a hard core fan it's a disappointment.
Also if you want to be confused as to what is going on then this is the show for you. Another hint is that rewatching the original will not help to explain it. Take it as a whole new anime not an extension and it will be easier to take.
Movie Review: Why?
Summary: 4 Stars
The Tenchi series is a really good, but WHY? This series was good but there are still some loose ends to the story. The characters all somewhat the same. It seemed that their personalities were changed a little.
If the makers of the Tenchi series do read this PLEASE TIE UP THE LOOSE ENDS IN THE SERIES!!!!!!!
