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. (Rated TV PG: risqué and toilet humor, nudity, alcohol use, comic violence) --Charles Solomon

BAD Packaging for an awsome show!
The show is good, GXP is funny, and belongs in the Tenchi world; however, this box set is really subpar. It drops the ball in so many levels of packaging that it's a shame. First, the whole thing is paper, that's right cardboard paper. No plastic, just paper with paper sleeves to protect the disk. That does not work out too well, being out of the box, I got scratches. There is no plastic to be found on this box set, to protect your DVD investment. I am giving the show 5 stars, because it's funny and well done. I would stay clear of this box set thou; I believe that they came out with another set, so buy the other. This one is not worth the 44 dollars. Also, 44 Dollars? I bought this for 29.99 OFF OF AMAZON!!! So why the price jump? So stay clear of this release, I have it, and it's fine. I won't return it, because the disks are fine and the episodes are all included, just the Box set is not what you think it would be.
Consumer alert: mislabeled disc
It might just be an isolated incident, but when I got my copy I discovered that disc 2 was mislabeled and actually contained some Spanish movie. So I returned it with a note asking Amazon to check their stock and will be reordering shortly. If you do order this series you might want to just check the start of each disc to make sure it's correct.
Tenchi is not the only one with girl problems, meet Seina !
Seina is just your average teenager...oh wait...he's not really average. Seina is just the most unlucky teenager you'd want to run away from. But that all changed the day he decided to take a short cut to Tenchi's house and everything went from bad to pure comedy. Don't worry, Tenchi and the gang do show up, but this is Seina's time to shine. Warning, Seina's bad luck messed up the disc arrangement in the set.
