Tenchi Muyô! In Love 2: Haruka naru omoi (1999)
beautiful
An achingly beautiful work, the perfect end to the Tenchi series. It got mixed reviews in the US it looks like, and it is in fact a lot different than the series, but it's still an incredible work. If you watched Tenchi more for the humor and the action, you might want to pass on it. If you watched it for the characters and interactions between them, however, you'll probably enjoy Tenchi Forever a lot more. The last few scenes are especially poignant; I'm a (supposedly) tough New York cynic-type of person, but I had tears in my eyes as the ending credits rolled by.
Tenchi Muyô! In Love (1996)
Beautiful
The three movies had a much different tone than the OAV series, with the first and third one being far more dramatic. Tenchi Muyo in Love is a really low-key, beautifully done production, which flows beautifully. The characters are incredible; they're what defined the OAVs, and they're just as great in this. This was my first introduction to the Tenchi Muyo universe, but you'd be better off if you watched either the OAV or TV series first (they both tell modified versions of the same basic story)
