Welcome to my Tenchi universe (Tenchi TV) page! Tenchi Universe is the tv series that was made after the OVAs. All of main characters are in this one, but the plot is altered quite a bit for each character. For example, instead of finding Ryoko in the cave, she instead crash lands on Earth, and they later find WASHU in the cave! This series is very good, but I do find the fact that the characters are sort of different a little annoying.
Episodes I've seen! These descriptions are stolen evilly without permission from Pioneer's official Tenchi page. Sorry, but I'm a lazy hogman.
Episode 1: No Need For Disscusions! Our first TV episode opens with Tenchi's monologue as he reminisces about "those days." This narration is important , as you will see at the end of this series, so just keep it in mind. As a pleasant surprise to Mihoshi fans, she makes her unforgettable appearance in this first episode, unlike the OVA (original video animation) series, where she appears in the fourth installment. Isn't that cool!?
Episode 2: No Need For A Princess! The rivalry between Ryoko and Ayeka goes far back to their childhood and is rooted even deeper than it was in our OVA series. We get to see flashback sequences of their "traumatic" childhood encounters with each other. Viewers also have a chance to see both Ryoko and Ayeka as sweet and innocent(?) little girls for the first time. And whether Tenchi likes it or not, he's going to see this old conflict between the girls erupt again and again during this series. Which story will he believe?
Episode 3: No Need For Worries! This episode introduces two of our most popular and cutest characters, Ryo-ohki and Sasami! Like any other pet, our Ryo-ohki has her favorite food--carrots! Her craze for carrots is even more exaggerated her than in the OVA series! As for Sasami, you'll see her go through more clothes than a fashion model, from everyday wear to space suits.
Episode 4: No Need For Monsters! It's Washu that Tenchi finds sealed in that cave, not Ryoko as it originally occurred in the OVA series. From this point on, our TV series starts to take a clearly different road from the OVA series. For instance, Mihoshi and Washu do not seem to have any special "love" feelings for Tenchi. By the way, don't you love the little Washu puppets cheering on Washu's shoulders? They sure could make a perfect merchandising item!
