Description:
Tenchi walks into the mountains and disappears. After searching all over Japan for Tenchi, Ayeka and Ryoko finally locate him in Tokyo where he is now several years older. Tenchi appears to be in a parallel world with a mysterious girl, named Haruna, and doesn't remember Ayeka and Ryoko! What is the mysterious connection between Haruna and Tenchi's grandfather, Yosho? It's up to Ayeka and Ryoko to discover what Haruna wants with Tenchi and to rescue him before he disappears forever!

Amazon.com:
The third Tenchi feature has a less playful tone than the popular television and OAV series. Annoyed by the endless bickering between Ayeka and Ryoko, Tenchi goes for a walk in the hills above the Masami family shrine--and vanishes. His extraterrestrial friends organize a search: Wasshu dispatches Galactic Police Agents Mihoshi and Kiyoni to hack the gargantuan computer at the Science Academy; Sasami does research on Jurai; Ayeka and Ryoko get jobs as waitresses while they search Tokyo for clues. Haruna, a mysterious girl linked to an ancient camellia bush, has taken Tenchi to a parallel world, where he lives a seemingly normal life as an art student. But he's troubled by headaches and the images of Ryoko that turn up in his work. Tenchi grows a bit older there, which allows director Hiroshi Negishi to depict some very mild cartoon sex between his hero and the eerily beautiful Haruna. The animation is a little more fluid than the television episodes, and there's a welter of computer-animated effects when Wasshu works her high-tech devices and the characters travel between dimensions. But Tenchi fans will miss the endearing silliness that gives the shorter adventures much of their appeal. --Charles Solomon
