A normal teenager shares his family's estate with six beautiful, yet ruthless women, who all want him to themselves. As their wacky and serious adventures continue, Tenchi and his female friends meet up with new people and new forces; Tenchi also learns that he is royalty, and it's up to him, his family, and the combined forces of his friends to stop evil space villains from taking over the universe.

So you think Ranma 1/2, Ah! My Goddess and Uresei Yatsura have gorgeous girls? Think again! This show proves that six girls, two girls, one guy, and one cross between a cat and a bunny can live together for thirteen episodes and more!

Tenchi-Muyo! is centered around its main character, young Tenchi Masaki. Tenchi is a frustrated, yet friendly and well-brought up teenager, who lives with his father, as well as his grandfather, Yosho. Tenchi's family has their own shrine - the Masaki Shrine, which houses, according to legend, a 700-year old demon. Accidentally, Tenchi goes into the shrine and breaks the seal of the shrine and then awakes the demon -- who takes form as a beautiful young woman named Ryoko,

Ryoko is a ruthless, carefree, sassy, yet sexy space pirate. Her only cares are money, traveling, wearing skimpy outfits (which we love, right?), and, of course, Tenchi! Go figure! Ryoko is a renegade who is running away from her mortal enemy, named Dr. Clay, who will try everything in his power to capture and manipulate Ryoko. Dr. Clay is the diabolical man behind the creation of Zero, an android robot out to destroy Ryoko. Ryoko is also trying to avoid and protect her new-found friends from Kagato, who tries to challenge Yosho, Tenchi's grandfather, to a duel to the death. But as for her and Tenchi, she sticks along with him, and then all the rest of the vivacious interplanetary vixens come along.

First, there's the lovely Princess Ayeka Kawai, who brought along her lively, cheeky-cute, younger sister Sasami, who both come from the planet Jurai. Ayeka and Sasami, respectively, are a royal pair (they are both princesses of Jurai), but they never let their royalty get in the way of attracting Tenchi. Ayeka is an elegant debutante who loves to rule her planet with peace and an aura of ladylike warmth (but sometimes she can be an "uppity" outspoken brat without knowing it), while being watched by her two talking guardians (which are tall, round, wooden cylinders that look like space Port-a-Potties).

Sasami Kawai, a fourth-grader, is a playful, energetic, loving, yet hard-working girl who likes to be the "maid" around Tenchi's pad -- cooking, cleaning, you name it. Her companion is Ryo-Ohki, a frisky, magical, carrot-chomping pet who's a cross between a cat and a bunny, and can also turn into a spaceship. Cool, huh? Ryo-Ohki is more of Sasami's buddy, but she was actually Ryoko's spaceship and pet in the first place.

Next came the extremely cute, compassionate, and extremely scatterbrained (!) Galaxy Police officer Mihoshi (and later on, her serious, determined, and alluring partner Kiyone, who is the 6th roommate). Mihoshi, who has a very high rank in the Galaxy Police Force (she's got connections!), is a real sweetie, but her mind may sometimes be somewhere in space (but doesn't everyone have that problem?). That's why her partner (not by choice, apparently) Kiyone is the professional, yet hot-tempered lady that's there to keep her in check, and to make sure that they don't lose their Galaxy Police badges! Still, Mihoshi is a real babe, and overlooking her silliness, she is a real doll and a funny girl -- fun to be with, I bet!

Finally, the last houseguest to make an appearance is the charming, lovely, innovative, and pink-haired scientist Washu. With a brain full of ingenuity, and a face full of love, Washu loves to seclude herself behind an invisible door to protect her from the "madness" that goes on between the other ladies and gentleman in the Masaki residence. She types madly on her keyboards and tries to create new stuff to protect the others from anything that might come up (you never know, Ryoko might have a bad hair day, or something). She's the friendly and informative female who can do so many cool things…and if you call her "Little Washu", she'll do just about anything for you (like building an interplanetary portal -- something everbody needs, I bet!)!

Seems like all those girls can get along? With Tenchi, of course! But with each other, now, that's another story. Ayeka and Ryoko are total kitties -- they never seem to agree on anything, except nicknames for each other (Ayeka is dubbed as the "annoying, ugly space princess", and Ryoko is penned as the "obnoxious space pirate"). And obviously, Mihoshi and Kiyone are the female anime version of the Odd Couple. Washu and Sasami seem like the only female characters that can live in peace with all. But one thing's for sure -- Tenchi is the apple of all the girls' eyes (hopefully, Ryo-Ohki won't eat that apple :P). It's one heck of a house party as Tenchi remains calm with six women under his wing! The adventures of Tenchi and his new-found lady friends are seen in the Tenchi Muyo! and Tenchi Universe series.

Later, in the Tenchi in Tokyo series, things really get heated up. As the title says, our main man Tenchi travels to Tokyo, in search of peace and tranquility from the six gorgeous, but contagious ladies (not to mention his dad, his grandfather, and the ever-perky Ryo-Ohki). Here, while trying to enroll into a new school, he meets (and falls in love) with another pretty girl, named Sakuya (no, she's no Cardcaptor!), whose stunning emerald-green eyes and soft voice could melt the heart of any guy. Unfortunately, it's Tenchi's heart that gets melted. The female houseguests at the Masaki household get curious, and then travel to Tokyo in Pursuit of the "heartbreaking hottie", and, well, you'll have to see the series to see what happens later! But I can tell you one thing: It's up to our boy Tenchi and his female friends to battle against another female names Yugi, a cute, but over-powered girl who tries to take over the universe, as well as break up Tenchi's relationships with Sakuya, and the other ladies. Yugi takes both the form of a playful, sugar-sweet girl (that tries to be best friends with Sasami) and a cloaked manipulator with a dark appearance.

Even much later in the Tenchi In Love series, you'll see all the characters -- especially our boy Tenchi -- all grown up! Adult Tenchi is the love interest of the beautiful Haruna, who is as determined as the other girls to win Tenchi's heart.

Think of this series as Three's Company…to the extreme! This is definitely one of the great anime series, and definitely one-of-a-kind. Comedy, romance, adventure, wacky hairstyles, cute critters, SD's by the bunches, and a bubbleheaded blonde who happens to be a police officer! What more could you ask for? The series is back again on Cartoon Network's Saturday Adult Swim, so check your local listings for time and channel, and re-live all the awesome adventures of the "most wanted guy in anime" (next to Trigun's Vash the Stampede)!
