Tenchi The Movie - Tenchi Muyo In Love - Well i decided to take the time today to watch this film and i am completley blown away. This film is simply amazing from start to finish. Think Back to the Future meets Tenchi Muyo, The storyline from BTTF and everything you like about Tenchi and this is what you get.


The animation in this surpasses what you see in the OAV's in so many ways, the background and scenery are on a level of detail that bewilders the mind. Once you sift through generic anime after anime and watch this the tiniest details stick out and it makes it so pleasing to watch. Some of the scenes use cut animation which let it down a little bit but i could only count 2 or 3 times this happened. There was a bit more blood and gore in this film than the OAV's. When you get to the fights you'll see that the ones in the OAV's feel somewhat more childlike compared to these.


Soundtrack and dub cast were all upto thier usual standards while the dub for Grandpa and Dad were changed which bugs me a bit, but they have around 1 minute of speech each so its not something that completley spoils the movie. But after watching the OAV's and Universe with the same characters it does take away some of the charm.


The only gripe i have with this is no lighthawk wings. It is simply not Tenchi without lighthawk wings. But still the story more than makes up for it.


If you are a fan of Tenchi and haven't seen this film go buy it now, i would recommend the MVM boxset thats coming out this month. The only problem is that this film has the set the bar so, so high that i can only hope the next two Tenchi films live upto it.
