Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Movie_Doctor Okay. This was one of the weirder T.M movies that I've seen. I of course saw it in Japanese with subtitles in English and it was well...it was interesting to say the least. You've got some demon whose got a thing against someone (I can't remember it was 4-5 years ago that I watched it) and sends some dark creation of his to torment the Masaki household. While I found it to be a good movie, I think it was also dumb, all the other T.M movies were better then this one and yet you have something that is practically off a clothes line because they talked so freaking disjointedly, and you have the daughter who is...well with her being created and her hitting the Masaki household...the fur is bound to fly. Ryoko actually does good in restraining herself in this movie which is surprising because...well it just is. I also couldn't help but wondering was the demon a male or female cause I couldn't tell with the voice thing.This movie does have a good moral to it though and that is revenge helps no one, especially not demons who fell in love with a human

au_law2001 Another Tenchi movie, it is wonderful. The animation is good and so are the voices. Well, at the same time, it is another one not based on the OVA version,(I wonder why they haven't thought of making one based on the OVA series? Why?)and the other movies act like this never happened! But yet it still continues to bring the feel of the TV series, and the comedy as well, and this also gives some background to Yosho's childhood, and it would make think, he seems to be like Tenchi, before he was born and when he was young that is! Anyway, this is a wonderful work, gotta love that Mayuka, and the way she refers to her daddy. Recommended to fans of the series.

redbeard_nv Tenchi 2, better known as Daughter Of Darkness, skips back and forth from present day Earth to the homeworld of Jurai in the distant past to a young Prince Yosho (Tenchi's Grandfather) during a festival of the planet's living, sentient trees and a young girl Yuszhuka, who was a playmate with the boy prince, and a terrible incident that seperated the two friends.We switch forward to a typical day in the Masaki household. Sasami cooking, Washu blowing things up, Ayeka sneaking around looking for Ryoko while the space pirate looks to get into Tenchi's bed when a mysterious stranger arrives. A young girl claiming to be Tenchi's daughter!Her presence sends the more jealous women into a spin cycle of recriminations and energy bolt battles, Sasami taking the child under her wing, super genius Washuu looking to perform tests on the girl's veracity and Tenchi wandering dazed, confused and downright mystified at the miraculous birth considering he is a virgin.The story's flashbacks begin to tie in the past with the present as the true nature of the girl becomes clear and her connection to Yosho's young ladyfriend from eons past come to light.It takes a different tack than most Tenchi adventures, and is rather short in comparision, but it offers up another look at one of the most dysfunctional extended "families" in Anime history, with clever and amusing results.

GreyFox37 this is my second favorite of the three. at first, it was kind of hard to understand what was going on, i mean, with the little demon. i knew about mayuka and all, but that little goblin girl kinda threw me off. anyway, the animation is good as always, the character development is as good as the first movie, and the story is interesting, throwing some more aspects of yosho's past. overall, manatsu no eve is a good tenchi movie to see (hell, its better than the third one!).
