Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Short Tenchi AU
Genre: Comedy, action, harem
Length: 7 episodes
Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki is a little bit of a continuation/alternate universe of the original Tenchi OVA series. Kind of hard to sum it into just one or two sentences as there are multiple facets of the story going on. Overall, it focuses very little on the original girls and delves more into Tenchi, Noike, and Lady Tokimi. This story actually ties into the GXP series, too.
"Tenchi seeks answers from his past while Ryoko faces the present head on. But the gang's world gets turned upside-down when they receive a strange visitor. After composing himself, Tenchi discovers that the mysterious visitor is not his mom, but a long lost sister who has come to inform him of his arranged marriage and, more importantly, his new fiancee, Noike. While Ryoko, Ayeka, and the others are disputing this, Tenchi leaves to work in the fields, where he unknowingly meets his bride-to-be. When Tenchi collapses from exhaustion, Washu gives him a prescription for three days of complete rest and relaxation! Now, with Tenchi confied to his bed, Noike must find a way to rally the girls into helping out around the house! After proving herself to him and his friends will Noike finally be the girl Tenchi chooses?"
At only 7 episodes, the series goes by quite quickly. I'm always a fan for the blue/green haired girls so I was routing for Noike in this one. What starts out as a mission for her becomes something she's willing to alter the timeline for in order to stay with Tenchi. Still no Kiyone in this timeline, though :/
Cast seemed the same except for Ryoko. Her voice didn't seem to have much of any femininity this time. Loads of extras on discs 2 and 3. Trying to remember where I've seen them before this. It's actually really enjoyable to watch the cast go to the area that the Misaki shrine is based on including the cave where Ryoko was imprisoned. Also a 40 minute presentation on different terms in the Tenchi universe and a 30 minute radio interview. Good stuff.
