Her suspicions appear to be confirmed when Mayuka starts behaving oddly, and inappropriately towards Tenchi. But former space-pirate Ryoko harbours an irrational dislike of the new guest that goes beyond her competing for Tenchi`s affection. The addition of this new female element to the household causes havoc among the residents, and no little jealousy. The accompaniment of a space-time disturbance and a quick DNA test appears to confirm this strange development, and Tenchi`s daughter Mayuka, although suffering from amnesia obviously has strong feelings for him. The story begins one midsummer when a teenaged girl surprises Tenchi by claiming to be his daughter. Fortunately Tenchi is the most rare of male teenagers, libido free, otherwise the show would be in a completely different genre, and the franchise would probably be a whole lot shorter. Tenchi Masaki is a hapless teen that through circumstance has wound up sharing his home with a bevy of alien beauties, all of whom lust after him. If you`ve read the other Tenchi reviews on this site, then you`ll be familiar with the set-up. 10 years ago, most people watched DVDs on PCs, 10 years ago, the average American loathed widescreen because the black bars at the top and the bottom of the picture wasted one third of the screen.

While the second Tenchi movie is coming out in 2007 in the UK, it has been available in the US for almost 10 years. Once in a while though, a title appears that makes you wish they had gone back to square one. It usually isn`t a problem in the UK, other than a moan about a poor NTSC-PAL conversion.

It`s cost prohibitive to go back to square one each time a new series is licensed, as the numbers involved are just too small. The DVDs that we do see here will usually be identical to those releases in all but the smallest of details. Typically for English language versions of anime, one country (usually the US), will buy, translate, dub and release a series, and distributors in other regions will sub-licence that version. This movie though is a perfect example of the limitations of a minority genre DVD. But I`d say it`s a pretty sure bet that the most recent third OVA series will be released at some stage, as it leads on directly from the first two series. Given that these licenses are held by different companies in the US, there`s no guarantee that MVM will even acquire the licenses here, or if these series will ever even see the light of day at all in the UK. That of course leaves some massive gaps for UK Tenchi fans, with the Tenchi In Tokyo, Tenchi Universe, GXP and Pretty Sammy series yet to debut on these shores. They have already released the first and third movies, as well as the first two OVA series. It is a battle for Mayuka as she chooses between her parents Tenchi and Yuzuha - to turn into the Daughter of Light or the Daughter of Darkness.Introduction At last MVM get around to plugging a small hole in their Tenchi output by releasing the second Tenchi movie, Daughter Of Darkness. Will Tenchi be able to resist Mayuka`s charm? Can Sasami convince Mayuka to change? However, Mayuka is just a puppet of the demon, Yuzuha, and it is her plan to bring Tenchi to the Nightmare World completing her revenge. Sasami befriends Mayuka as they compare Earth`s Christmas and Jurai`s Startica celebrations and Mayuka is welcomed into the Masaki household. Jealousy and envy follow as Ryouko and Aeka battle for Tenchi`s attention with an apparently new rival. On a hot summer day, a fetching young girl named Mayuka appears before Tenchi, calling him daddy. More many years later her feeling of betrayal lead her to plan her revenge by taking Youshou`s only grandson Tenchi. Many years ago, Tenchi`s grandfather, Youshou, met a young girl during Startica - the summer festival on Jurai - and just as their relationship blossomed, she was attacked by the Jurai Palace who revealed that the girl was Yuzuha - the Demon of Darkness.
