About Tenchi in Tokyo

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Tenchi in Tokyo (新・天地無用!) deserves a look (1997). The setup goes like this. At its core: Tenchi chooses to move to Tokyo in order to lead a normal life in the big metropolis. While in Tokyo, Tenchi runs into a girl named Sakuya.

As things develop, they soon fall in love, but as it turns out, a dark sinister force has created Sakuya to get at Tenchi and rule the earth. Now Tenchi must balance love, allies, and life while defending the earth one last time.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Masami Kikuchi as Tenchi Masaki and Yuuko Kobayashi as Washu Hakubi. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
