Editing Tenchi in Tokyo (section)

==Reception==
''Tenchi in Tokyo'' was met with mixed reviews. ''Animefringe.com'' cited a "horribly weak plot" and that "what makes the TV series almost unbearable to watch are the new character designs and the frequent use of super deformed animation[...] You’ll either love it or hate it."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animefringe.com/magazine/01.01/issue0/reviews/2/index.php3|title=Tenchi In Tokyo|publisher=Anime Fringe|last=Adam |first=Arnold|access-date=2011-11-20|archive-date=2009-01-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090104161907/http://www.animefringe.com/magazine/01.01/issue0/reviews/2/index.php3|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Animeworld.com'' gave the show a similarly moderate 2.5 out of 5 stars, claiming that although "[it] is yet another very funny Tenchi series with all the great characters and bizarre situations[...]", "They don't bother explaining the entirely new backstories until a bit into it" and that "[it's] either terribly lazy or shamelessly commercial that they couldn't even be bothered to cook up some new character designs and reestablish the stereotypes for a new story."<ref name="titaw">{{cite web|url=http://animeworld.com/reviews/tenchiintokyo.html|title=Tenchi In Tokyo : Anime Reviews : AAW|publisher=Anime World|access-date=2011-11-17|archive-date=2011-09-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110910230158/http://animeworld.com/reviews/tenchiintokyo.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Industry aggregator ''Mania.com'' awarded all of the North American DVD releases an A average, citing that although "Tenchi in Tokyo is a bit more of a departure from the tried and true formula of the past", "[the] show is definitely a welcomed addition in this household."<ref>{{Cite news |author=Beveridge, Chris |url=http://www.mania.com/tenchi-tokyo-vol-1_article_73985.html |title=Tenchi in Tokyo Vol. #1 |work=Mania |date=January 19, 1999 |publisher=[[Demand Media]] |access-date=2011-11-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140606203511/http://www.mania.com/tenchi-tokyo-vol-1_article_73985.html |archive-date=June 6, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
