Tenchi in Tokyo/YMMV


 * Broken Base: Fan reaction towards this series is mixed.
 * Die for Our Ship: Poor Sakuya.
 * : For some. Whether you liked her or not, it can't be disagreed that  was really cruel.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Hotsuma
 * Growing the Beard: The second half of the series, which actually features Tenchi growing a spine and telling the girls to leave him the hell alone.
 * Recycled Script: The way the script ends, it could be called "An extended version of the Tsunami/Sasami" episode in the original series
 * Relationship Sue: Subverted with Sakuya.
 * Quirky Miniboss Squad member Hotsuma, who seduces Ryoko back to her life as a Space Pirate and away from her True Companions, was frequently paired with her for "real" in Fanfic.
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The series has elements of Romantic Comedy and Monster of the Week, which led to a very forced-in plot, which would've been better either that the show tried to be more realistic and focus more on the relationships off Tenchi and his harem and have Sakuya being a normal girl  and go into the depths of their feelings about the whole matter and led to a sound resolution; or focus on fighting spirits and limit the romantic themes significantly in order to present a very action packed story. Instead the story ends with another romantic rival for Tenchi with the very same reactions from the girls of Yugi growing up and becoming a threat to their confession of love and Tenchi returning to the chaos of the screwed up family in the Masaki shrine.
 * Alternatively, it could've shown how Tenchi would been as a normal student instead of an insanely powerful hero.
