Group Anime Evaluate of Tenchi The Film 2 – The Daughter of Darkness
(ANB word: This collection was initially reviewed on 24-Mar-2003. I’ve made some updates that I felt wanted to be made.)
That is the one Tenchi Muyo! film set within the OVA continuity. Nevertheless, it’s not canon materials as it’s not a narrative by Kajishima-sensei. This film is predicated off of the HASEGAWA Naoko-sensei novel Tenchi Muyo! Manatsu no Eve, which might be primarily based on the primary OVA collection. So the whole lot from episodes 7-13.5 are ignored for this film. And, the hideous, official English film title provides away a ton.
The Story, in Temporary
Storywise, a lady named Mayaku reveals up at Tenchi’s home claiming to be his daughter. Whereas this doesn’t set properly with Ayeka and Ryoko, it’s Ryoko who is ready to see that there’s extra to her than meets the attention. Ryoko is correct as a feminine demon named Yuzuha is trying to search revenge in opposition to Yosho and thus the royal family of Jurai.
Character Points
Of the characters, solely Ryoko remained attention-grabbing to me. She confirmed that she certainly does truely love Tenchi and she or he was motivated to guard him together with her life in wanted. The opposite characters have been principally a waste. Mayuka gave the impression to be created to play with the incest fantasy since there are a number of occasions the place she’s used to sexually come on to Tenchi by Yuzuha. It was very misplaced.
As a result of this ignores the 2nd OAV and the OAV particular (episode 7), the opposite characters really feel so misplaced. You surprise why sure issues don’t occur or why sure characters don’t know issues. I used to be questioning when discuss of Tsunami got here up why everybody appeared dumb contemplating what had been revealed about her. Yosho’s historical past was modified to suit into this story and it simply doesn’t work. In reality, nothing however Ryoko’s willingness to struggle and die for Tenchi made sense.
Backside line:
Ryoko followers will get pleasure from watching her at work, even when she is simply a shadow of her OAV self. The opposite characters are simply there, typified by Kiyone (Tenchi Universe) being on this film. Huh? Anyway, in case you aren’t a critical Tenchi fan or a Ryoko lover, you gained’t even like this film.
You may skip to the top and depart a response. Pinging is presently not allowed.
