Please keep in mind that this review is old, so while some editting

is obviously dated. As such, where some things may be noted as
'spoilers', they probably no longer are.
Tenchi
in Tokyo is the second TV series created based on the original OVA
series, Tenchi Muyo!. Whereas the OVAs and the first series (Tenchi
Universe) open up with Tenchi meeting the girls for the first time
through a series of events, Tokyo opens up after the fact - the girls
already know Tenchi, are living at his house, and giving him all
kinds of mayhem and chaos on a daily basis. That's where things take
a sudden turn through - Tenchi has to leave their small town and move
to Tokyo, in an apprenticeship to a shrine-keeper there, to learn
better how to take care of the Masaki shrine. The girls don't take to
this obviously, forcing Washu to make an inter-dimensional portal to
get them to Tokyo quickly so they can visit him. Things aren't
exactly as they seem however - a mysterious girl named Yugi, capable
of amazing psychic feats, seems dead-set on separating Tenchi and the
girls forever. Making her task easier is a girl named Sakuya, who
seems to be quickly capturing Tenchi's heart.
