Tenchi Muyo is is based around Tenchi Masaki,
a high-school student, whose life is turned upside down after an encounter
with a "demon" at a shrine in the mountains. The title can be read
as meaning several things. Taken as a whole, tenchimuyou means this side
up, so the title could be referring to Tenchi's quest to regain the normal
life he once led. An alternative translation is No Need for Tenchi, or
Useless Tenchi, which takes on extra meaning when it is revealed that there
are two Tenchi's. Which Tenchi is the title referring to? This second translation
is the most commonly accepted of the two. To say more would spoil the suprise
of the numerous plot twists thrown the viewer's way. Suffice to say that
this story contains a humorous and quirky storyline which often supplies
hints in earlier episodes to later events you wouldn't guess would happen.
It is a mixture of fantasy, Sci-Fi, comedy, and romance.
