There's a little more emphasis on the comedy and fun than the first movie, but still more drama than the OAV or TV series. In comparison to other Tenchi stories, this one has the usual combination of touching sentiment, silly comedy, wild plot, and plenty of action. If you don't, this sure isn't the place to start-the only thing you'll accomplish is creating a desire to see more so you know what's going on.

Regardless, Daughter of Darkness (aka Midsummer's Eve) doesn't require any specific knowledge of one series or another (or the previous movie) as long as you've got some prior Tenchi experience.
#Tenchi muyo mayuka plus#
Due to being based on one of a series of novels which are in turn an "unofficial" continuation of the OAVs-and unlike the first and third movies-it's essentially in the OAV continuity plus Kiyone. Although figuratively part of the OAV continuity, some familiarity with either series will be enough to enjoy the movie, but if you don't know Tenchi, don't start here.Īnother Tenchi Muyo movie, another confusing addition to the scattershot mess that passes for continuity in the franchise. You might see a little more of the newcomer Mayuka and less of your old friends than you'd like, but more likely you'll be left eager to see more of her and nowhere to get any. The acting features the same cast as always in both languages, with Mayuka sounding as sweet and naive as she looks and some impressive drama on the part of Ryoko (particularly in the Japanese).įor Tenchi fans, this should be an enjoyable trip, with a little more drama than usual. It's visually a notch above the TV and OAV series, and the character designs are, as always, very attractive, including the irresistibly cute Mayuka. The plot doesn't deviate far from the standard formula, but there's actually a little character development with the main trio here, though nothing Tenchi-verse shaking. Daughter of Darkness (aka Midsummer's Eve) has the usual Tenchi Muyo! combination of touching sentiment, silly comedy, wild plot, and plenty of action, with a little more emphasis on the comedy and fun than the first movie, but still more drama than the OAV or TV series.
