If you loved Tenchi Forever!, try Tenchi Muyo! In Love
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Hiroshi Negishi, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tenchi Forever!, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tenchi Muyo! In Love is
It aims to outrun its own time-travel premise. In 1970 a vengeful criminal flies back to erase Tenchi before birth, forcing a ragtag crew into temporal counter-espionage. The film lands its flashback happily without ever getting past the setup.
