What is Tenchi Muyo?
In short, Tenchi Muyo! is a very popular Japanese animation (or anime, as they are more commonly called). It’s about a teenage boy named Tenchi Masaki and the women who love him.

It ran for awhile on Adult Swim Action as well, but it was later replaced by Mobile Suit Gundam. It may return to Cartoon Network at a later date unless their contract with Pioneer expires. There may be renewed interest in airing Tenchi when the 3rd OVA series comes out. • What are the differences between the OVA and
