This movie ends Tenchi Universe :(. In the story, Tenchi
storms off into the hills after a fight, but doesn't return.
After searching for some time, Ayeka and Ryoko finally discover
Tenchi seduced by a mysterious woman!
This movie takes place immediately after Tenchi muyo in love
(Tenchi movie 1). However there are some changes done to
Tenchi in this movie. When Ayeka and Ryoko finds Tenchi,
he's no longer the same age. Tenchi is 3 years older and
has grown his hair out! So if you ever wondered how Tenchi
would look when he's a bit more mature, then you'll get your
answer in this movie!
REVIEW
One thing that I've noticed when I watched this movie is the
superb animation. It seems that when Hayashi made this
film, he put a lot more effort into it. Of course he
should, since it is the ending of Tenchi Universe! All the
characters in this movie look a lot sharper and much much better
animated, so they look more human like then ever! Now for
you Tenchi fans who likes the series for it's humor, you'll be disappointed.
Tenchi Forever has NONE!!! This movie is completely
serious and revivals a different side to Tenchi
Muyo! And if your a fan of Tenchi for it's
action/fighting, you'll be disappointed as well. There
isn't really any fighting in this movie. Through out most
of the movie, it just shows Tenchi and Haruna spending time
together and Ayeka and Ryoko looking for Tenchi. And at
certain parts, the movie got boring, but not enough to put you to
sleep (like Lain or Garasaki - in Ping's opinion). Also in
this movie, it concentrates on Tenchi, Haruna, Ayeka, Ryoko, and
Yosho. Therefore you really don't see much of any of the
other girls or the Cabbit. But those two are probably the
only negative I see in this movie. Another thing that I
like about this movie, is that they finally let Tenchi get
Lucky!!!!!!!! And sorry Ayeka and Ryoko fans, it's not w/
one of them. BUT (don't worry - not a spoiler) at the end
of the movie, in a way you find out who Tenchi likes more
between Ayeka and Ryoko.
Now I must say, I am pretty satisfied how they ended Tenchi
Universe with this great movie!
