Yet More Tenchi (Not Necessarily A Bad Thing)

Which isnt a bad thing, if you are the sort who likes the style of humor that comes from Tenchi Muyo. Which of course I am. But, I have to be fair.

The main character is pricelessly amusing. He's also practically Superman, but its played for comic relief, so you don't dislike him (though suspension of disbelief is really required at times). Though the abilities of some of the other characters is also rather extreme as well, in short, nobody is 'normal' by any stretch of the word.

The outfits at times are out there (in a good sort of way), and the designs are played either for the cool factor or the comic relief (depending on the scene of course). The Mecha that exist are either purely functional (the training units) or purely cool (most of them).

The plotline was typical, but that doesnt mean its a bad thing, as while you knew what to expect, they made it enjoyable seeing how things played out. This to me, is the signs of a well arranged story, that while you know whats going to happen, you still are able to enjoy it.

When all is said and done, for anyone who loved Tenchi Muyou, you should watch this. For anyone else, if you want a light hearted romp with Mecha, Action and Comedy, you should give this a shot (I can think of worse ways to spend 30 minutes!)
