It requires both a bit of Anger,and a STRONG sense of Justice!!

This OVA has such brilliant, fast pacing. So many anime today are slow and plodding, spending large amounts of time talking about things happening and not actually showing us what is happening. Each episode had very clear purpose as to how it told the story, with many of the first episodes being devoted to introducing the major characters, their relationship to Tenchi, and their role in the story. The result is a 13-episode treat that is consistently exciting and boasts great character development.

Tenchi Muyo: *ahem*...THE GREATEST HAREM ANIME EVER!!! In all actuality now a days it is a rarity to find harem animes that have an equal amount of action in it, and unless I'm mistaken Tenchi Muyo is practically the father of harem animes!

I'm not sure if Tenchi Muyo was the first in the genre (it was certainly the first of its kind in America thanks to Toonami), it was definitely the most popular and helped make it a viable genre in anime. But what Tenchi Muyo does the best is that it has an overall plot outside the usual Harem antics and fanservice which a lot of the latest harem shows just don't have, like you were saying.

Guy pulled out an amazing voice for Kagato and then up and left voice acting forever!

Ever since I saw this promo as a kid I’ve always wanted the soundtrack to it something about that guitar just brings peace I can’t explain it to this day I can’t find it outside of a promo😩😩😩😩

Dr Lecter, Smurf, Kagato-the best villains have such a restrained, eloquent, and gentlemanly manner while showing hints of the monster beneath.

Dear god I forgot how good Tenchi Muyo is...

Gotta like how Ayeka actually seems incensed when Kagato refers to Ryoko as "Waste".

I remember there was an abridge series for this and in one scene where Tenchi was directly staring at the sword where the blade should be stabbed him right through the head XD

Pretty much. But it works

So... a little background on Kagato. (This is only hinted at in the 3rd OVA series, so you gotta hunt for this info) Washu had a friend named Naja, who was a girl. Said friend disappeared one day, so Washu clined said friend... but the clone, was not at all like her friend. That clone eventually found, and then fused with, a male Ryoko prototype Washu made. Said fused being then changed uts name to Kagato, got rid of its female galf and left her before becoming the galactic level evil jerkass Renchi would later cut in half come the first OVA series. But... all of that background is why he and Ryoko have similar powers. He can't use Ryoko's gems though. Also, Mihoshi is related to Washu through Washu's first child.

Japanese people love incest

Damn I remember downloading this on Napster one of my favorites of all time

Damn! Grandpa Tenchi Muyo got the moves!

As a kid I somewhat knew that some of these characters had some blood relation and would get married and have children but it never really bothered me. It's a story about aliens from another world that have their own culture and biology so I assumed that their rules were not the same to that of Earthlings. With that in mind if Jurai were a real place and they landed on Earth and we judged their culture, I'm sure they'd judge us on how primitive we are and our social norms. It really made me think outside the box when it came to how I think about culture and am not grossed out to things outside the norm.

Man Kagato made such an impact. Shame he never really came back after this. He reminds me of the shredder in the first tmnt comic, taken out in the first iteration and then never comes back.

This is the one and only scene I remember when I was a kid

The memories...

Alien super genetics..Incest doesn't mean crap to advanced civilizations who can literally fix any medical problems like cancer or radiation poisoning in a scheduled doctor's checkup. lmao For us it's a mental taboo that later became social taboo because we instinctively know it will cause genetic problems down the line.

I just realized after all these years that she is tenchis half great aunt.....Japan just doesn’t care who they marry huh

The unmastered and lower volume voicing really added to the 90s appeal of this animation.

This scene is so good. Tenchi was such an important show during my formative years. I don’t really enjoy ova 2 , 3, 4+ etc., as much, so I don’t rewatch them. But ova 1 is always a classic as a stand-alone story. 🥰

Eh...he should have had a bigger presence in the show. Stupid how he only lasts two episodes.

SO funny how ayeka is just like "what the fuck..."

Totally worth watching. Even though I just spoiled myself before getting the DVD.

Katsuhito Masaki/Yosho is more like a lecherous Obi-Wan Kenobi but Obi Wan none the less. He did taught his grandson Tenchi how to home in his own swordmanship while being the Shinto Apprentice. I wish we can see him fight more since he can hold on his own against Kagato and mind-cntrolled Ryoko in the current OVA.

yosho was the true center of this universe.

this isn't just HD. This is DUMMY HD. it really does make a difference with traditional 2D animation 1080P vs 480P

Silly boy! Now is your time to grasp the future!

This is like Old Man Obi-Wan vs Count Dooku
