Seina Yamada, the hero of the adventure-farce Tenchi Muyo GXP (2002), is a one-man destruction derby. When he walks by, cell phones disconnect and machinery breaks down. A succession of misunderstandings sends Seina to the Galaxy Police Academy, where Mihoshi and Kiyoni trained in the Tenchi adventures. Seina says he knows Tenchi Masaki and visits the planet Jurai, but none of the main characters from the original continuity appear.

Seina Yamada, the hero of the adventure-farce Tenchi Muyo GXP (2002), is a one-man destruction derby. When he walks by, cell phones disconnect and machinery breaks down. A succession of misunderstandings sends Seina to the Galaxy Police Academy, where Mihoshi and Kiyoni trained in the Tenchi adventures. Seina says he knows Tenchi Masaki and visits the planet Jurai, but none of the main characters from the original continuity appear. Nor do the filmmakers recapture the mixture of romantic comedy, slapstick high jinks, and sci-fi adventure that make Tenchi so popular. GXP is an unremarkable fan-service comedy that's closer in tone to Steel Angel Kurumi than Tenchi Universe. Voluptuous women chase 15-year-old Seina, although what they see in him isn't clear. Resident babes Kiriko, Amane, and Erma--who are also his teachers--pursue him, leading to a spate of cleavage shots, panty shots, bath scenes, massages, come-ons, and nose bleeds. Like the original Tenchi, Seina turns out to be a long-lost Prince of Jurai: He summons a variation on the magical Lighthawk Wings while piloting a billion-year-old mecha he finds on the planet Wau. Tenchi Muyo GXP will appeal to devotees of fan-service jiggle comedies, but viewers expecting a continuation of the long-running Tenchi franchise will be disappointed.
