Unlike the recent Tenchi Muyo GXP, which only alluded to the original characters, the OVA Ryo-Ohki brings back the gang from the popular comedy-adventure. The always transitory calm of the Masaki household is shattered when new visitors arrive from the planet Jurai. They include Tenchi's older sister Tennyo; Airi, the wife of Tenchi's grandfather; and Noiki, Tenchi's fiancée, chosen for him by Ayeka's and Sasami's grandmother Lady Seto (a.k.a. the Devil Princess of Jurai). But these plot twists are largely artifice: more is going on than meets the eye--as is often the case in Tenchi stories.
The OVA reunites not only Tenchi, Ayeka, Sasami, Washu, Ryoko, Nobuyuki, and Katsuhiko, but key members of the English vocal cast: Matt K. Miller (Tenchi), Jennifer Darling (Ayeka), and Sherry Lynn (Sasami). Celeste Burch replaces Petrea Burchard as Ryoko, and Mihoshi's long-suffering partner Kiyone seems to be missing in action. Although there are a few inconsistencies and a lot of clips from the original Tenchi Muyo! (1992), the new shows are quite entertaining. Like Hello Dolly, Tenchi can apparently be revived endlessly. (Rated TV PG, suitable for ages 12 and older: brief nudity, cartoon violence, minor risqué humor, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

I was ready to give the whole series one star, but I'll give the people who worked on it the benefit of the doubt. They may have been bombarded by marketers and other behind the scenes tampering. Maybe this absurdly long-awaited return to the original OVA storyline was supposed to be a lot better than it was.
But it was rushed, unfocused, and all but devoid of any satisfying action or comedy. Do not even buy it used; rent it if you must.

I will have to start by saying that I am disappointed with this series. This series brings back most of the original characters and introduces some new ones. But, it seems like this series is trying to deviate from the original OVA. The story line does not flow smoothly. In all the other episodes and movies, Tenchi's mother is named Achika. In this series her name is Kiyone. Kiyone is the name for Mihoshi's Galaxy Police partner in the Universe and Tokyo series and the related movies but in this ... Read More

I admit, I am a fan of the original Tenchi OVAs - having bought them as Pioneer Laser Discs (that cost $60 apiece and weighed a ton). And I suffered through the lesser and more pathetic "sequels" - the three movies that were billed as resolving the Tenchi storyline but didn't - the last of which never even came out in Laser Disc format - and I even bought the Tenchi Universe boxed sets. And in each, the production value was less and less - even as the storyline was changed for the worse in each incarnation. ... Read More

Storyline is weak and not consistent with past episodes. Very disappointing.

It starts up well enough. We get more insight into the character Z, who is genuinely entertaining though seen extremely little. From there we get to see a rather unnecessary set of flashbacks of the series which might've been fine if the voicework had been done well. As it is, it only takes up episode space. Aside from that, however, the first episode is pretty good. Funny, though the girls have a disturbing lack of interaction with Tenchi. And at the end of the episode there's an emotional shocker which ... Read More
