Tenchi Muyo GXP - Out of This World (Vol. 1)
Two broadcast series, an OVA, and three theatrical features makeTenchi Muyoone of the most popular anime series. Seina Yamada is an adolescent geek living in Tenchi's home town of Okayama: a one-man destruction derby who only needs to walk by a piece of equipment for it to malfunction. Seina says he knows Tenchi, and when he enrolls in the Galaxy Police Academy as a joke, he finds himself training for the space force Mihoshi and Kiyoni belonged to. But neither they nor any other members of the familiarTenchigang appear.GXPalso fails to capture the mixture of light-hearted romantic comedy and sci-fi adventure that madeTenchia success. Seina appears barely pubescent, yet voluptuous adult women pursue him, which gives the humor a disquieting edge.GXPfeels like a cynical attempt to cash in on an established franchise.
