For detailed information about the series, see The Tenchi Muyo wiki.
Overview
Tenchi Muyo! began as a series of OVAs by Masaki Kajishima. There are three separate series, Muyo! Universe, and Tenchi in Tokyo, but only Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki is considered canon. The spin-off GXP series is also canon, although only the books by the original author.
The series focuses on a young man named Tenchi Masaki, who accidentally releases the Space Pirate Ryoko from her slumber. Before he knows it, he's got a harem of females all vying for his affection (especially Ryoko and Ayeka) and Tenchi doesn't quite know what to do regarding his situation.
Tenchi soon discovers that he is of Juraian royal blood (the dominant power in the galaxy) and that he can create Light Hawk Wings, the essence of the Choushin, the creators of the known multiverse.
Power of this Verse
Tenchi Muyo! is one of the most powerful anime verses, with several higher-dimensional beings such as the Choushin who created all of the known multiverse, including its higher dimensions.
Although the lower tiers are still pretty strong, mostly being around Small Town level, Tenchi Muyo! truly shines with its advanced technology, which is able to make FTL ships with ease, prevent a soul from fusing with a body, or creating entirely new lifeforms; with the smartest of all being Washu Hakubi, who's the greatest mind in the entire universe.
Another strong aspect of the series is the use of Light Hawk Wings, manifestations of higher-dimensional power in the 3rd dimension, which is used by the protagonist, Tenchi, as well as the antagonist of the third OVA, Z. Jurai's royal ships are also known for this ability, being powered by Tsunami's descendants.
Note
Given that Tenchi Muyo is a long-time franchise, several series with separate continuities have spawned from the original. To see a list of them, please read this blog.
