Production notes
Air date reflects first US broadcast on Cartoon Network. Original (Japanese) release year: 1992.
This series had its genesis as a spoof vacation episode of "Bubblegum Crisis."
This was originally a video series which ran for 13 30-minute episodes.
A 40-minute and a 45-minute video special followed, introducing a superheroine, who reappeared in her own video series, "Magical Princess Pretty Sammy The video series was adapted for Japanese TV as the 26-episode "Magical Girl Pretty Sammy" ("Magical Project S").
Tenchi and his friends appeared only in occasional cameos. Marketed to an audience of little girls, the series received very high ratings in Nagoya but was unpopular with Tenchi fans in the West.
These were succeeded by three TV series, which each ran for 26 25-minute episodes; these included "Tenchi Universe and "Tenchi in Tokyo
Three costly 95-minute theatrical features followed: "Tenchi Muyô! In Love" (1996), with music from Christopher Franke; "Daughter of Darkness" (aka "Midsummer's Eve"; 1997) and "Tenchi Forever" (1999)
