Tenchi Muyo 

I haven’t seen this series since I was about 12/13 but have recently ‘rediscovered’ it as a part of our animation course. The video above is one of the many intro videos found at the beginning of each episode. It is a perfect example of the style found in Tenchi Muyo as well as some of the character designs. 

The backgrounds found in this series are incredibly well detailed and look fantastic; some of the scenes I wish to recreate in my own work and, whilst the intro video doesn’t demonstrate it 100% clearly, I will post a few images of some of the background and settings found in this anime series. The characters, arguably, are of a manga style, a style I am very keen on and would love to recreate in my own work. Much the same as Avatar : The Last Airbender, the story is incredibly well written and the characters are well developed; again, the female characters tend to be far more developed than the male or certainly seem to play a much greater role than the male protagonist, Tenchi himself. Again, I may look in to doing this in my own piece.
