Don’t have to drag the ‘rents around campus during Parents Weekend? Come watch the classic anime movie “Tenchi Muyo! in Love?” (1996) as the fifth movie of Newtype’s 15-year Anniversary Series.

What: “Tenchi Muyo! in Love?”
When: Saturday, February 24, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Where: Asian American Activities Center (map)

I remember watching the “Tenchi Muyo!” series on Cartoon Network and discovering that the English version is a bit cleaner than the Japanese version; hadn’t realized that Americans could be so prude. There are two versions of the same story: attractive women from outer space start popping up in Tenchi’s quiet front yard. Most of the girls have their eyes set on Tenchi and through a series of comic adventures come to an understanding and get along. The movie picks up after the OAV series with the evil criminal Kain escaping from galactic prison and deciding that the source of his trouble is Tenchi. He decides to travel back to the 70’s to eliminate Tenchi’s parents and Tenchi and his crew must also travel back to protect his parents and essentially his existence.
Screening in Japanese with English subtitles and refreshments provided.

** We are bumping up the event an hour because of Parent’s Weekend. Sorry for any inconveniences. **
