My second favorite of the Tenchi series (after the OAV, of course). Tenchi in Tokyo is the Tenchi equivalent of Batman Forever: you're gonna either like it or hate it.
I liked this series a lot. The artstyle was quirky (I LOVED the outfits the girls had though! Especially Ryoko's 'bad girl' pirate outfit near the end of the series) The constant shifting between two locations (Tenchi's apartment/Masaki House) was pretty wild as well. Most of all, I like this theme which is directed (quite bluntly) at Tenchi himself...
I liked Sakuya, but mostly because the first episode I watched was the last episode she was in. Upon rewatching the show, I do understand why people don't like her, but she gets a lot better as the show goes on and by the end, if you actually think about it, it makes sense why she is the way she is.
(sighs) I remember watching this on Toonamiback when it was still on the air and Cartoon Network was still in it's glory days. I never missed a single episode. (sighs again) so much nostalgia that it's overwhelming.
this intro is what i first saw b4 i got addicted to this series.watched the very first episode to the last on all seasons. the first episide would be "tenchi muyo"(thats the very first season) so if you decide to search and watch on youtube. i suggest to search for that first.
I don't know what's gotten into Cartoon Network. It just goes to show you that nothingcan last forever, not even Cartoon Network's glory days. At least we got to enjoy them while they lasted. I guess we were just a generation born at the right time..
Not a huge fan of this OP (or show for that matter) anymore, but I’ll never not love the look on Ryoko’s face when she’s cackling in the beginning. The perfect smile.
I am so, SO glad the cable guy screwed up and gave cable to my family for a year. If I hadn't had Toonami, I never would have seen any of the Tenchi series, and my life would be incomplete...
I remember not liking this continuation all that much as a kid...not sure why, I'll try watching it again now that I'm an adult...I really love the art, tho, and the opening theme's pretty kewl :3
I have faith that Sakyua is still independant, still could come back as her own person. I just really like that idea, and although they will probably never play it out (or make Tenchi anime, for that matter), I still like to think she's out there somewhere :)
Sadly, since the series in Tokyo was non-cannon, I just don't think they're never going to bring Yugi-Sakuya back. Neither of the new series in the past decade never mentioned them.
I know Tenchi in Tokyo gets a bad rap but I FUCKING LOVED IT, I loved the art style and yes, I even liked Sakuya! XD I thought she was less annoying then the other girls. I didn't think she was like a Mary Sue (mostly 'cuz back then I didn't know what a Mary Sue even was), maybe I'll re-watch the series with fresh eyes to see if I end up hating her as much as you all do.
Wasn't it based off a standalone novel? The movie adaptation though, definitely takes place in the Universe continuity. It has Kiyone, who doesn't seem to exist in the OVA verse.
WAIT A MINUTE Shunsuke Kikuchi also touched Tenchi in Tokyo? Crazy to realize that he handled music for more than just Dragon Ball Z, though that’s most likely his most famous contribution.
@AnimaMort i forced myself to finish TiT, and the only thing that kept me through it was this Op... Its probably the best Tenchi opening out there. Just wish there was a clean version.
@brinpol it was like an alter-reality of the original series, more modern-urban like(I guess it was time for Tenchi to be more than just a country-boy)Good idea on changing things around to make it more interesting, even though it didn't appeal to hard-core fans out there. But this is perhaps the only show that I would continue to watch, no matter how silly and weird it gets...that's how much I LOVE Tenchi ^_^v
true love does take you back...though techi has so many i guess he'd know best,lol. and now that guy saiyna yamata who looks like him has that same problem, but at least he has rajou to take some of the burden off his hands:)
I don't agree with you (is a Ryoko x Tenchi shipper), but I don't think it's a reason to thumbs-down your comment o.o Anyway...I do think that Tenchi did have feelings for Sakuya, but he also has some for Ayeka and Ryoko...well, at least Ryoko (if that one movie is anything to go by, I mean. The one where Tenchi is stranded in an alternate-dimension? ...I forget now) Anyway, it's cool that you support Sakuya x Tenchi? xD Thanks for uploading!
Tenchi in Tokyo isn't in the Universe series. It's a completely different timeline. Manatsu no Eve is also in the Universe timeline because we have Kiyone. Then there's a fourth timeline with the Pretty Sammy series... but whatever.
I notice...in the opening when Sakuya closes in on Tenchi, her animation is kinda dodgy. Her head is shaking loads. Not exactly smooth animation at all. Maybe on purpose? But i always found it a little weird.
I came here bc I watch Owl House and I was like who tf does Eda look like? And then it clicked THAT HOE FROM TOKYO TENCHI I lived for Ryoko from Tokyo Tenchi when I was little
Tenchi in Tokyo has its pros and cons. But the same goes for Universe. I like In Tokyo a bit better than Universe. But the Universe ending was better than Tenchi In Tokyo's. Tenchi In Tokyo was a bit more funny than Universe. Anyway its just my opinion.
so, yeah, rabid fans of ryoko/tenchi were not happy with it. to be honest, i never really paid much attention to the plot lol. so yeah... and id on't know if i'll ever watch it again but who knows.. maybe a few years from now i'll get back into it.
*THIS ANIME WILL ALWAYS STAY IN MY HEART*
I LOVE THIS FCKING SONG.
My second favorite of the Tenchi series (after the OAV, of course).
Tenchi in Tokyo is the Tenchi equivalent of Batman Forever: you're gonna either like it or hate it.
I like this song, wasn't much of a fan of the series otherwise though.
Big facts
Dude I’ve literally tried to find this for so long. I was like “man I remember the tune of the song but not the name of the anime from my childhood”
I liked this series a lot. The artstyle was quirky (I LOVED the outfits the girls had though! Especially Ryoko's 'bad girl' pirate outfit near the end of the series) The constant shifting between two locations (Tenchi's apartment/Masaki House) was pretty wild as well.

Those were the times. And by the way I'm from Roumania.

I always felt tenchi in tokyo had the best out of the series and a great storyline with a awesome villain
1:14 My sister and I used to always laugh at sakuya vibrating at the end lmao
This brings back great toonami memories. Tenchi was pretty much the first anime I watched and I'm damn glad I finally have the dvds now.
The correct order of the series is: Tenchi Muyo!, Tenchi Universe, and finally Tenchi in Tokyo.

@@victoryleo8310 you’re the only person in the world who cares about the order of the series
@@ElectiverBFF well I'm a fan of the show
Washu, Ryoko, Aeka, Sasami favorites.
Not a huge fan of this OP (or show for that matter) anymore, but I’ll never not love the look on Ryoko’s face when she’s cackling in the beginning. The perfect smile.
This series makes me cry ugly tears but also TONS of laughter. I love all the awesome female characters
I don't think I've ever seen that put so well. 100% agree.
00:49 ❤️❤️❤️ me encanta esta parte
I am so, SO glad the cable guy screwed up and gave cable to my family for a year. If I hadn't had Toonami, I never would have seen any of the Tenchi series, and my life would be incomplete...
a mi me paso mismo mis amigas noche y dia en año 2005 asta 2010 por eso me gusto tenchi muyo
when this came out for some reason i got really into it and would watch every episode that came on the good old days...damn
I remember not liking this continuation all that much as a kid...not sure why, I'll try watching it again now that I'm an adult...I really love the art, tho, and the opening theme's pretty kewl :3
This was the first anime I watched!! I loved it! ♥
1997
@@MuhammadAlBalazi and?
Linda Yamamoto is a magnificent singer
Thanks for posting! And yes, I happened to like the Tokyo series. And Sakuya. And no, I don't care if anyone has a problem with that.
i got all tenchi dvds (3 movies, ryo-ohki 1-13, whole universe series, and tokyo) all for 60 bucks off of ebay. go figure wat a deal!!!
Washu forever!!
mediocre taste
I have no idea why, but I always had a weird, kinda eerie feeling from this opening song. Absolutely love it though.
Me too!!
One of thé best op in anime history
I FOUND THE OPENING, I WAS JUST HUMMING IT
I LOVE this series!!
Tenchi
Tenchi Muyo
Tenchi Universe
Tenchi in Tokoyo
so many!
Sakuya..❤❤❤
I have faith that Sakyua is still independant, still could come back as her own person. I just really like that idea, and although they will probably never play it out (or make Tenchi anime, for that matter), I still like to think she's out there somewhere :)

Ok... Tid was right. Its in my head forever now 🙃
SHIT
i’ve been looking for this for like, my whole life and then i casually arrived here.
I know Tenchi in Tokyo gets a bad rap but I FUCKING LOVED IT, I loved the art style and yes, I even liked Sakuya! XD I thought she was less annoying then the other girls. I didn't think she was like a Mary Sue (mostly 'cuz back then I didn't know what a Mary Sue even was), maybe I'll re-watch the series with fresh eyes to see if I end up hating her as much as you all do.
@Yunakikyo
Yeah sorta GXP is a weird spinoff on the OVA so i don't really count it as a series since tenchi only had cameo
One of the first animes I watched.
I cant lie but 1:29 WAS SUCH A LOL MOMENT
Came across this show during my search of lost shows I never saw as a 95 kid😩
awesome
This is so hard to sing along to! Grr! Hey since you put this up you should put up the ending too! That would be awesome!
this is the best one!
This is what I love about the show
You are very welcome. By the way, getting the dvds for this series is going to be EXTREMELY exspensive, too.
This is a really nice OP!!!!!!!
Technically, "Daughter of Darkness" is set in its own continuity, branching off from the first OAV.
Wasn't it based off a standalone novel? The movie adaptation though, definitely takes place in the Universe continuity. It has Kiyone, who doesn't seem to exist in the OVA verse.
@SuperGoldfish1999 To be fair, in the OVA they did use light sabers :3
I hope they bring this and Universe back to Toonami like they did with Outlaw Star. I'm also hoping they bring back G Gundam & Gundam Wing.
WAIT A MINUTE
Shunsuke Kikuchi also touched Tenchi in Tokyo?
Crazy to realize that he handled music for more than just Dragon Ball Z, though that’s most likely his most famous contribution.
There are more than just 3 series tho. There's also GXP which came after Tokyo...and the most recent is the final Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki series.
I thought it was absolutely hilarious when I first noticed it a long time ago. It can't be intentional, there's no way
great vid
I love this song so much. >w<
Yume wa doko e itta.
@AnimaMort i forced myself to finish TiT, and the only thing that kept me through it was this Op... Its probably the best Tenchi opening out there. Just wish there was a clean version.
and to keep the status quo here's a thumbs up
Epica
@brinpol it was like an alter-reality of the original series, more modern-urban like(I guess it was time for Tenchi to be more than just a country-boy)Good idea on changing things around to make it more interesting, even though it didn't appeal to hard-core fans out there.

The animation team behind Pretty Sammy TV (Magical Project S) more or less worked on Tenchi in Tokyo.
The composer for dragon ball shunsuke kikuchi made the background music for this anime
I'm trying to find the full version of this song anyone know where to find it?
true love does take you back...though techi has so many i guess he'd know best,lol. and now that guy saiyna yamata who looks like him has that same problem, but at least he has rajou to take some of the burden off his hands:)
they should bring back this show ^^ i miss it. i hate that ryoko dies T_T she was so funny when she aurgued wth the other lover of tenchi ^^
Ryoko is my boo.
This was a weird spot in anime but still good
Aye! they got u there Ryan and tenchi muyo is over right KICK ASS!! any1 who hate tenchi, BURN IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL!!!!!!!!!!
I don't agree with you (is a Ryoko x Tenchi shipper), but I don't think it's a reason to thumbs-down your comment o.o Anyway...I do think that Tenchi did have feelings for Sakuya, but he also has some for Ayeka and Ryoko...well, at least Ryoko (if that one movie is anything to go by, I mean.

I like this opening the most. and this series had its good points, since imo there was a decent girl for tenchi (apart from sasami)
Tenchi in Tokyo isn't in the Universe series. It's a completely different timeline. Manatsu no Eve is also in the Universe timeline because we have Kiyone. Then there's a fourth timeline with the Pretty Sammy series... but whatever.
ah, you're right, sorry about that. I was just really sad about the whole Sakuya thing... I'll keep the spoiler thing in mind though ;)
Same guy did the music for the Dragonball Series
totally surprised me lol
Give me a list of your favorite villain/monster of the week show.
@kalasue17 lol i hope u mean all tenchi series in general
@shazam15 :D Me too... well, technically Brock was first, but that was a little earlier on and I was a bit younger, etc... heh.
whats the name of this song and where can i get it?????
1:01
go SAKUYA YOU HOT BABE!!!
Go Washu!
@Kaicoyote yeah b4 they changed her voice and made her ears even bigger
I notice...in the opening when Sakuya closes in on Tenchi, her animation is kinda dodgy. Her head is shaking loads. Not exactly smooth animation at all. Maybe on purpose? But i always found it a little weird.
does anyone know how to get the opening theme. I can't find it on limewire at all
SAKUYA MUST DIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Nice song anyway!^_^
BAND KIDS 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
@khaza1wolfgurl That's what my brother used to say too....I guess he wasn't the only one ^_^
Mis amigas bonitas me siguen las 6
dare i say this, but i think the intro may be better than the show
O.o i dont remember the show being this werid...its time to rewatch
8D
Aww...why do you hate the Tokyo series? That was my favorite one! XD
Sakuya was the first anime character i had a crush on i dont care who says she was the worst character, in my book shes one of the best
Zomg doesnt he end up liking this girl he meets at school? Uh! Bugged the crap out of me, why would he choose her instead of Ryoko?! ...sigh
I came here bc I watch Owl House and I was like who tf does Eda look like? And then it clicked THAT HOE FROM TOKYO TENCHI
I lived for Ryoko from Tokyo Tenchi when I was little
i thought it was known as tenchi muyo????
why cant cartoon network play anime anymore???
BigJon200 cause cartoon network has entered the dark ages
Tenchi in Tokyo has its pros and cons. But the same goes for Universe. I like In Tokyo a bit better than Universe. But the Universe ending was better than Tenchi In Tokyo's. Tenchi In Tokyo was a bit more funny than Universe. Anyway its just my opinion.
where's Hamtaro
Tenchi in Tokyo was fun but so predictable... that it just got a little bad near the end.
Still, its Tenchi muyo. i cant help but love the series.
so, yeah, rabid fans of ryoko/tenchi were not happy with it. to be honest, i never really paid much attention to the plot lol. so yeah... and id on't know if i'll ever watch it again but who knows.. maybe a few years from now i'll get back into it.
Well, I hated her because I was always rooting for Susami!! She's so cute!!
tenchi in tokyo era asquerosamente depresivo en comparación a tenchi universe o tenchi muyo, pero por alguna razón fue el más me gusto
