The two episodes on this tape have stories that go in some what opposite directions from each other, episode eight with the use of a lot of slap stick and episode nine being a little more dramatic by focusing on Sasami's dilemma. Fortunately, great writing for both episodes make it so neither half hour can be considered the weaker one. Another plus about this series is that the character design is probably the best you will see on the Toonami afternoon line up. As long as you watch the Cartoon Network versions of these episodes, Tenchi Muyo can be enjoyed and viewable by anyone which maybe the most important aspect of this series. |

To
explain why this is not a review of episodes 1 and 2 of the Tenchi
Muyo! Collection, these are the first two episodes of the second set
of OVAs (original video animation) which were added to the original collection.
I thought this would be as good a place to start from. That and at the
time I purchased this VHS tape, it was the only cassette that contained
two episodes.
