Tenchi Universe
On TV Tokyo
A lighthearted sci-fi comedy harem anime that balances action and adventure with romantic entanglement and character-driven humor across a single, self-contained season.
Tenchi Masaki may be a 17-year-old young man in rural Japan, but little does he know how bad his day will be getting. When a space pirate chased by a pair of Galaxy Police officers crash-lands at his grandfather's temple, Tenchi is sucked into a new adventure that will literally blast him off into outer space and beyond.
