Tenchi The Movie 2: Daughter of Darkness

I think Tenchi the Movie 2 is a decent source of entertainment for an hour, but it seems like this film was rushed out to capitalize on the success of the first film, Tenchi Muyo! In Love, so it suffers for that. Unlike the first film, this feels like an extended TV or OVA episode instead of a theatrical film. What make matter worse is that the film still has the classic motion picture anime series extension dark and dreary plot. The animation has not been improved from the TV/OVA series which is unfortunately a major flaw for any anime motion picture spin off. Well, at least the soundtrack is superior to the first film.

If you are a Tenchi fan, Tenchi the Movie 2 is worth a viewing. Any other anime fan will be let down if they purchase this video that is unless they are looking for a Christmas themed Japanese animated cartoon and feel that Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz is stretching that terminology.
