Two broadcast series, an OVA, and three theatrical features make Tenchi Muyo one 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 familiar Tenchi gang appear. GXP also fails to capture the mixture of light-hearted romantic comedy and sci-fi adventure that made Tenchi a success. Seina appears barely pubescent, yet voluptuous adult women pursue him, which gives the humor a disquieting edge. GXP feels like a cynical attempt to cash in on an established franchise. (Rated 13 and older: risque humor, brief nudity, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

 The most unlucky boy in the world... June 21, 2004

Seina Yamada is from Earth, but through a series of accidents and strange events, he ends up joining the Galaxy Police. He'll meet Pirates and Princesses, sexy Police Detectives and weird aliens (some of which are also sexy). Will he survive space travel? Will he survive having so many females trying to help him? Will he survive dorm life?
While he might be unlucky, he does have a few good points. He has a good heart and REALLY wants to explore space and learn about life off the planet Earth. So it looks like he plans to stay with the Galaxy Police, no matter what happens.
This first DVD has five episodes, a few extras and a lot of fun. The GXP TV series is linked to the Tenchi Muyo! OVAs by using some of the same settings and some characters related to the OVA characters. We get a glimpse of Ryoko, we meet Mihoshi's mom, it seems that the dorm security system was designed by Dr. Clay, and we learn that the Jurai Family Tree is more of a over-cooked bowl of spaghetti. The artwork is great, with heavy use of computer graphics for the ships and many of the combat scenes. I just loved the pirate Rats and the marks that could not be shown on TV. Warning: The subtitles for the Japanese version IS different from the English version (which I believe is meant to help the hearing impaired). So if you want a direct translation listen to the Japanese audio with the subtitles - it does seem to make more sense too. Keep the pause button ready.
125 minutes of life off the planet Earth - keeping the peace was never so wild!
Tenchi without the Tenchi!! January 26, 2004

Although i've only seen this as a fan sub, it has always been my favarite out of the three (Tenchi Muyo, Universe + GXP)All of the characters from the origional Tenchi Muyo appear ( also watch out for Mihoshis mother who appears frequently, if you though Mihoshi was a bubble head you aint seen nothing yet. In usual tenchi stylee all the women fall for one man, in this case the man is Yamato Seina, Tenchis Lower classman. Ryo-oki, will be delighted at the appearance of a sister cabbit, namely FU (so sayeth the fansubbing) the one character people will be suprised with is the return of ol pink hair Serio Tennan (the bloke Ayeka almost had to marry in the end of Muyo). A little warning before you start watching be careful who you call Grandma, people who have seen the fan sub will know what I mean.

Tenchi muyo gxp is a very good show it is very funny especiall when Tenchi's grandmother is around. It is very good, but does not get the five star rating because it has a few slow spots. It gets boring sometimes. The first disk does introduce you to all the characters, and gets the show going so by the second and third disk its all good. This show has very good dubbing which surprised me though because they also made Dragonball Z which had horrible dubbing. Overall this show is good and everyone should buy it. Its very funny and has great characters.
