Tenchi and the gang are still on the run from the usurping junta on the planet Jurai, but the filmmakers seem to lose track of that story line in these three episodes. While Washu repairs the engines in "No Need for Hunger," Ryoko is dispatched to a nearby planet to buy groceries for the hungry crew. After eating, drinking, and gambling her way through the cash on hand, she robs the local branch of the Bank of Jurai--and brings the Galactic Police out in force. Sasami strikes up a friendship with Mirei, the lonely ghost of a little girl in episode 18. They share some special adventures, and Sasami's image appears in an old photograph of Mirei, indicating the strength of their bond. A pair of two-bit punks hijacks Kiyoni's spaceship Yagami--with Tenchi's father and grandfather still aboard playing chess--in "No Need for Runaways." Tenchi, Ryoko, Washu, Kiyoni, and Mihoshi pursue them in "Ryo-Oki"--leaving Ayeka and Sasami stuck with the bill at the fast-food restaurant where they'd stopped. Rated 13 Up for alcohol use and minor cartoon violence. --Charles Solomon

4 out of 5 stars DVD number 6 in the Tenchi Universe........2004-06-19

Tenchi and the gang are still on the run and in this DVD we can to feel every painful moment of it. In the first story everything is going wrong; engine power is dropping and the food supply is low. Ryoko is given money and is told to go buy food. Of course she spends it on herself and decides to rob a bank to get more. So when Ryoko returns to the ship she has no food, but bags of money and a bunch of police ships on her tail. They flee.
In the next episode they find themselves in a bad region of space: a ship graveyard. And engine power is dropping again. This turns out to be a touching ghost story, a stand-alone story with no links to the rest of the series. Think of it as a break.
The last episode is another stand-alone, when runaways steal the Yagami, Kiyone's and Mihoshi's police ship. Of course half the Galaxy is hunting the ship, so soon the runaways find themselves the center of a massive man hunt. The kids freak out, push buttons and end up FIRING on the Galaxy Police (who fire back). Well, at least the gang is able to get some food, even if Ayeka and Sasami end up washing dishes for it. Of course the gang gets their ship back and the runaways are shot out into space in a life capsule.
While funny, the episodes don't really add to the over-all plot and I had to take away a point.

4 out of 5 stars Cool series.......2004-04-01

INTRODUCTION:
Although the Tenchi Muyo anime series became a massive hit in its native Japan and other neighboring nations, it was never fortunate enough to gain that kind of success in the United States. That's a real shame, because this is one of the best anime series out there. It DID air briefly in America on the Cartoon Network, but it never really won the audiences over the way series like Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z did. But this series is every bit as good as the animes that DID achieve fame in America. Read on for my review of this set.

BASIC PLOT:
It's hard to describe this series because there are so many twists and turns in the plot, but I'll try my best. The story follows a young man named Tenchi Masaki, who has just returned to school from a long break. Soon enough, he meets up with a rather strange cast of characters, and discovers that he may be the last hope for saving the universe! To make things even more difficult for him, many of these strange characters he has met fall in love with him, and this creates some competition amongst them that results in some rather comical scenes.

SERIES OPINIONS:
Why is this series so underrated in America? This is one of the best animes out there. It combines the samurai-style action of Dragon Ball Z with the romance/slapstick humor stylings of Sailor Moon, and this creates a series that is universally appealing. And believe me, over time this series will grow on you.

THE DUB:
Surprisingly, the dub version of this series isn't that bad. A few scenes have been mistranslated or toned down for American audiences, but it's nothing major like with other animes. Here's a little tip, if you're curious about what has been changed - while you're watching the Japanese subtitled version of the DVD, hit the Audio button on your DVD remote and switch to the dub track. This way you can watch the English dub with the English subtitles for the Japanese version - there's no better way to see how different some of the translations are!

DVD:
Once again, DVDs featuring an uncut dub and an uncut sub have been released. This is great because you get both versions of the series. There are also some bonus features as well. There aren't a whole lot of bonuses, but at least there are some - a number of anime DVDs don't have any at all!

OVERALL:
Overall this is an excellent DVD set, and it's good to have all the episodes of this classic series on DVD at long last. Still, the DVDs could have been done a little better. If you're an anime fan, this is a strongly recommended release.

3 out of 5 stars No Need for a Ghost.......2002-06-20

The Tenchi Gang is still in space, making thier way to Jurai. Along the way, Sasami meets a ghost of a girl, two idiots that steal Yagami, and the search for food.
This DVD keeps the plot up, but doesn't speed it up. The Tenchi Gang has a long way to go to reach Jurai.

5 out of 5 stars Cool Episode.......2002-06-16

I love these three Episodes. They go on a journey through space to go to Jurai, but try not to get captured. The first episode is where Ryoko goes out to get food, but ends up robbing a Jurai bank somewhere. The second episode is where Sasamie meets this ghost girl name Mirai. A lonely ghost. When Tenchi and the gang finds out that Sasamie is missing, they search for her. The last episode is where Yagumi is stolen by some stupid punk teenagers probably 17 or up to 20 years old. Tenchi, Ryoko, Kiyone, Mihoshi, and Washu chases at them, but Grand father Katsuhito and Tenchi's dad still in Yagumi, but they don't know what is going on. But they forgot about Ayeka and Sasamie, back at the resturaunt. I rate this a 5 star. It is great to buy.

5 out of 5 stars Great Episodes.......2001-04-04

Just have to say that all the episodes are wonderful in Tenchi Universe. It is my favorite series because of it's so hilarious. Even though these are filler episodes, they can tell you about some of the characters.
