Tenchi Universe - Volume 3 - On Earth III

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
In "No Need for a Genius!" one of Washu's experiments goes awry and produces the most terrifying monster since the Marshmallow Man attacked in "Ghostbusters": a robot with her formidable powers--and the brain of bubble-headed Galactic Police Officer Mihoshi. Happily, Kiyoni manages to defuse the situation before too much damage is done.
Events take a sentimental turn in "No Need For Memories": a rare snowfall brings recollections of the day Tenchi's mother died. As everyone else has drunk too much sake, Sasami has to care for the stricken Tenchi with the help of robots Azaka and Kamidake: Jurai medicine cures him.
The arrival of Ryoko's archrival, the bounty hunter Nagi, raises hob at the Masaki family shrine. She kidnaps Tenchi as bait for Ryoko, leading to a duel in a Western town Washu creates on Venus. Worried about Tenchi's fate as the face-off begins, Ayeka calls out, "Ryoko, I don't care if you die, but don't lose, OK?" Things eventually get sorted out, but not before cabbit/spaceship Ryo-Ohki falls in love with Nagi's Ryo-Ken. This first broadcast series is even sillier than Tenchi Muyo! but every bit as much fun.
Rated for ages 13 and up for cartoon violence and drinking. --Charles Solomon

The third DVD in the Tenchi Universe..........2004-06-19
Excellent series.......2004-04-01
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.
The Madness Continues!.......2002-03-08
Bravo-Tenchi!!!.......2001-04-09
I'm not really gonna tell you what it's about because Mr. Charles Solomon(i think that's his name) wrote a review summarizing the DVD so you might as well read his(plus i'm way tooo lazy). Score on 1-10, 10 being the highest
Music:7
Animation: 9
Plot: 8
Extras:9
(one of the best i've seen!)
Overall this is a movie worth spending your moola on. But be warned buy the first two before buying this one or have a good understanding of it or you will be lost.
