Tenchi the Movie 2 - The Daughter of Darkness Reviews
Tenchi has a beautiful daughter! So who's the, uh, lucky mom?
Though not as cinematically grandiose as Tenchi the Movie 1, Tenchi the Movie 2 possesses enough good points of its own to make it worth checking out.
A cute teenage girl named Mayuka appears seemingly out of nowhere, and claims that she is Tenchi's daughter. This, of course, greatly infuriates Tenchi's avid admirers Ryoko and Aeka -- especially as Mayuka has no recollection of a mother. The plot unfolds at a good pace, so there is never a dull moment. Mayuka is a refreshing character. Her genuine innocence in the midst of a complicated situation makes her very easy to like, despite her shady background. There's also the usual dose of Tenchi action and drama, plus sexy humor scattered about (like Mayuka expressing her love for Tenchi by taking a bath with him). There's nothing really explicit though, and things are naughty at best.
The art and animation are nicely done. Everything is colorful and vividly drawn. The English dubbing is okay, again, if you can stand the raspy and whiney old woman voice they use for Aeka and the overly brash, unfeminine voice they use for Ryoko. The original Japanese version features popular seiyuu such as Ai Orikasa (also Quatre in "Gundam Wing") as Ryoko, Junko Iwao (also Ceres in "Ayashi no Ceres") as Mayuka, and Chisa Yokoyama (also Sakura in "Sakura Wars") as Sasami. TM2 is okay even for those who have little or no prior Tenchi experience. The storyline is easy to follow, and it can very well stand alone as a singular anime feature.
To sum it up, TM2 is fun and uncomplicated -- a treat for Tenchi fans and non-fans alike.
The Best Tenchi Movie I seen, well the only one but still.....
I love this movie so much that i watched it a couple of times this past week. I felt sorry for Mayuka when that demon Yuzuha had control over a sweet girl like her. I recommend this movie to anyone exacctly or over 13 year of age.
