Tenchi the Movie 2: Daughter of Darkness is a monument to the original series not easily forgotten. The characters are more real than before, and hold a real connection within the house. The acting was wonderful (If you can call speaking into a mike acting. I think you can.) Ryoko's love for Tenchi was equal to, but wholey different from the others. Ayeka was more of a mother figure in this movie, which I feel suites her well. Sasami is the essence of an innocent child, the same as everyone has always loved from the show. All the characters I didn't wention were also wellwritten and accounted for. The story was one which can pull almost any veiwer to appreciate. Wether you enjoy love, mystery, comedy, action... To use the cliche "This movie had everything". And the multi'angle feature on the DVD was BRILLIANtly used so that the veiwer can see the conception sketches for each scene. Including the Tenchi Encyclopedia, and wonderfull trailers this movie brought myself great joy and re-immersed me into the Tenchi fandom I had forgotten since the last airing of Tenchi Universe and the awfull Tenchi in Tokyo. This is a great item to collect for Tenchi and/or anime fans of all ages.
