This was the first ever anime i watched, & i instantly fell in love with it. The characters are memorable, the storylines humorous & the females attractive. The story revolves around a teenage student/shrine worker who awakens an ancient demon, & finds himself living with girls from across the univers, & as the OVA progresses, getting involved in lots of adventures.

The DVD itself is a fantastic package. The artwork on the front blends well with the see through keepsake, & the back of the box has an episode list. Upon opening it, you are greeted by a nice piece of OVA artwork featuring all the characters, including Washu in nurses outfit!!! Open it again, & four sections are revealed, three for the DVDs & one other.

The DVDs are quite plain to look at, but behind them is a picture of the three godesses spanning the three dvd storage areas.

The final part of the four piece folder holds an information card, & if you were lucky to get one of the earlier editions you get a limited edition card.

The episodes themselves are of high quality. The animation is high quality & has been digitally remastered. there are two language settings 5.1 Japanese & channel 2 English. Each of these have there own subtitles. The japanese setting is much better as the music is crisper & louder, but if you dont like subtitles, then its not for you. However, if you only ever watch it in english, try putting on the first set of subtitles, & you can see a lot of changes were made to the dialogue, including some rather risqué ones from episode 7.

The episodes never get boring, & if you do ever find yourself drifting off, the third disc features a comprehensive encyclopedia de Tenchi. Everything any fan new or hardcore will need to know including maps, location info, trailers, comics...the list can go on for ever.

All in all this is a superb package. Beautiful sums it up to a tee, dont be put off by the asking prices, you wont be disappointed.

Anouk Stotijn-Teeuwe is a Dutch singer. She is married to Remon Stotijn & is mother of three children; Benjahmin Kingsley, Elijah Jeramiah, Phoenix Ray. // Anouk got interested in music because her mother was a blues singer now & then. Anouk initially sang at weddings & parties with the band Shotgun Wedding, prior to meeting Barry Hay of the Golden Earring, a friend of her ex-husband Edwin Jansen. Hay believed Anouk to have talent & offered to write her some songs, one of which was Mood Indigo ; written in collaboration with George Kooymans. After she met Bart van Veen, her co-writer, the pair wrote a few songs. On September 5, 1997, she released her second single, Nobodys Wife, which remained at the top of the Dutch music charts for a number of weeks. Her debut album, Together Alone also turned out to be a huge success. In 1998, Anouk won two awards from Dutch music station TMF in addition to an Edison award. During the summer, she played at various festivals, including two big ones, Pinkpop & Parkpop.
