Seriously, I don't understand the appeal of this anime. I'm not a fan of harems but I heard this was good and it looked funny so I decided to watch it. Then, I dropped it, the animation is bad and can look too silly, the dub is bad, the characters are stupid/crybabies/bratty and the story is melodramatic. Seriously, why does a story about a bunch of aliens and quirky characters living with this boy need to have this much crying and drama?

Sasami is too friendly since she likes to make friends with everyone and is such a crybaby, crying over her acquaintance that she's not even that close to "Mihoshi" leaving in Night Before the Carnival, cries over bad dreams, and even cries when Tenchi collapses along with Mihoshi at the end of episode 4. TENCHI IS JUST OUT COLD! Yandere-chan needs to hurt this girl. I don't care if she's however old she is but I put her between 6 and 9 because she is an emotionally weak girl who cries in front of non-relatives when she should be suppressing her emotions. I rarely cried in front of non relatives at that age range. Why in Cuphead's milk is this girl always crying? Why she always crying? Mmm oh my gosh.

Watch something like Road to AVonlea or Wreck it Ralph instead, they are so much better.

I've never watched Tenchi Muyo, mainly because it's a harem Anime, and I'm not into that sort of stuff.

After reading your post, I'm glad that I didn't watch it, because it sounds like I didn't miss out on anything good.

I watched it as a kid and liked it but tried to go back as an adult and wonder why it had all the hype. It's bland and brings on the cringe. I guess it was popular in Japan so they brought it over and it isn't like we had anything else back then.

I felt like I was the only person who didn't like it. I know people have a lot of nostalgia for it but I don't think it aged well. Maybe it was good for its time but looking at how other harem anime followed it and that the whole story is basically about a bunch of girls fighting to get in Tenchi's pants is just annoying, silly, and bland. Even my friends who haven't seen it think the idea of this story is just ridiculous time waster.

Guess I'll speak out in defense of an old fav. I'm definitely not a fan of harem anime but Tenchi is an exception for me. I think it's really good as far as harem anime goes, but it does show its age. I like it for the characters, Ryoko and Washu especially. Kiyone was really cool too, though she wasn't even in all the series. All of them loving Tenchi is kinda annoying but I can look past it, especially in Tenchi Universe where there's a lot more going on and it doesn't seem to be going for harem endgame like the OVAs, which I haven't liked as much as time went on. The first TV-only series is just silly fun with some action and a little romance. Wish we could have Ryoko/Ayeka... Oh wait, we did get that in one episode. ;)

I recant this statement. I'm rewatching it and the series is fun and enjoyable. The english dub is bad enough that it adds a layer of hilarity to everything. I'm watching each sub and then the dub right after just to compare. They have a bit of a different feel.

Maybe I'm just in love with terrible harem anime now...

I was never a fan of Tenchi Muyo. It would come on Tooanmi and I would just bypass it all the time. I'm a Seinen/Shonen/Battle Anime guy. Sorry, I can't do Harem anime.

The anime is almost 30 years old and this guy really is complaining about character behavior and it being harem.

Def should watch & make your own opinion imo. Tenchi is solid for a 90’s anime. News flash animation has gotten better as the decades past. Comparing it to anime that were made now is crazy to begin with.

facts! Comparing anime to now is asinine in its entirety. Tenchi did the job for a comedic harem anime in the 90’s. It holds well. I enjoy it now!

I personally don't like harem anime. If you don't like harem then you probably won't like tenchi muyo.
