Episode #21 – Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (OVA 1)

Originally recorded January 10, 2009.

Sweet. Tenchi Muyo! Like many of the listeners I’m sure, this was one of the first anime that I saw as a kid in which I knew it came from Japan. It’s a show with a rather simple premise. Tenchi discovers a tomb in a forbidden cave. He releases the space pirate Ryoko from her sleep. Soon after, different characters, such as the Juraian princesses Ayeka and Sasami, arrive on earth in order to capture Ryoko. This review covers the original six-episode ova, which more or less, covers the introductory part of the series.
