What is the correct order for Tenchi Muyo shows/movies

[AnubisWerewolf]

I'm showing my friends all the Tenchi Muyo series/movies. Please tell me the exact order they should all go in! My friends have never seen the show or the movies so I want to show them in a better order then what i've seen them in. I saw them all out of order. Please let me know. Thank you.

Well, there is not really a set order for Tenchi other then OVA's and movies.

But here is order on which ones are in a group.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OAV

Tenchi Muyo! The Night Before The Carnival OVA

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OAV 2

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OAV 3



Tenchi Universe, is an alternate retelling of Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA's and is a TV series

Tenchi Muyo Movie 1: Tenchi in Love ( a sequel to Tenchi Universe)

Tenchi Muyo Movie 3: Tenchi Forever (a sequel of Tenchi Muyo Movie 1: Tenchi in Love)




Tenchi in Tokyo, is another alternate retelling of Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA's and is a TV series.




Now bear with me on this.

Tenchi Muyo Movie 2: Daughter of Darkness, I heard that it was a sequel of Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA, but it has Kiyone in it and there is no Kiyone in the first and 2rd OVA's and in the 3rd OVA, Kiyone's name is said, but its not the same Kiyone from the movies or Tenchi Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo.

So, I guess you can put the movie 2 between the first movie and the Tenchi Muyo Movie 3.




Tenchi Muyo! Mihoshi Special is a spinoff of Tenchi Muyo! OVA, but you don't have to watch it as you will not get lost or help you understand anymore of OVA out of it.



Tenchi Muyo! GXP is another spinoff of Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA's



Magical Girl Pretty Sammy (aka: Magical Project S) is just another spinoff from Tenchi family.

I heard GXP comes right after the ending of OVA3.

Tenchi GXP is just a spinoff from the Tenchi Family and a 26 ep TV series.

There are a few people in Tenchi GXP that are in the new OVA, and you do have a few members that were in the 1st OVA and 2rd OVA that show up in GXP, but its mostly about Seina Yamada and the Galaxy Police force.

Thats what I read too and it turnes out the second movie the only reason Kiyone is in it was because the guy who wrote the book for the movie added her in because he created her or something like that.

And I would probablly not ever show tenchi in tokyo but rather show dual! a alternite univers of tenchi.

[Tsukuyomi]

Hmm, thinking back to the way the aired it on Cartoon Network and International Channel (now AZN Television), the order went...

Tenchi Muyo
Tenchi Universe
Tenchi IN Tokyo

I forgot the movies titles, so I'm not sure about that... Gomen Nasai!

It wasn't the second movie that got her start.


In 1994, was the year that Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OAV 2 and Tenchi Muyo! Mihoshi Special.

Ryo-Ohki OVA 2 came out in the fall, but the Mihoshi Special came out in the spring of that year.

Since the Mihoshi Special was just spinoff of the OVA's and was just a 27 min show to give fans something to watch before Ryo-Ohki OVA 2 came out.

Anyway, the story starts as Mihoshi falls asleep on the deck of the house and she dream about her most famous mission with the Galaxy Police and casts all of the Tenchi Muyo characters were in it


In the story, Mihoshi and her GP partner Kiyone race around the galaxy trying to find out who's been stealing all the ultra-energy matter.

Two things to be noted about the Mihoshi Special.

one was the debut of Pretty Sammy and the other as, the only OVA appearence of Kiyone.

Fans really like Kiyone Makibi in Mihoshi Special that they made her full-fledged character in the Tenchi Unverse, Tenchi in Tokyo and the movies.

Dual is separate from Tenchi but exists within the same framework.In fact some of the Tenchi characters make cameo appearances in Dual,most significantly Kiyone
is seen carrying a bag of groceries at the end of the Epilog(episode 14).There is all sorts of speculation as to how Dual and Tenchi are connected to each other.One of the most interesting is the fact that both have a character named Kazuki Yotsga(unrelated to each other).The one in Tenchi being a member of the Juraian Royal
Family.Though it is slightly possible that the Tenchi Kazuki may in fact be another
Parallel Counterpart of the Dual Kazuki.
That is just speculation though and not official.
That said it should be remembered that the events and characters portrayed in
Dual are totally separate and independent of those in Tenchi.

[Mi-Ru-Me]

But you must admit its better then tenchi in tokyo.

[mitsuki lover]

I haven't seen Tenchi in Tokyo,I've only seen the first two episodes of the
original OVA and the Tenchi Forever movie.That and the manga.

[Mi-Ru-Me]

really?? Sorry I guess since you have seen and aparently like dual I assumed that you had also watched tenchi muyo. Well then umm get on top of that now.
;D

[AnubisWerewolf]

Dual what is that?

[AnubisWerewolf]

Sorry for the double post never mind. I just saw someone answered that. Silly me!
