The Japanese voicing cast did a commendable job with the series, provided the mildly hectic environment that characterized the episodes. There were a few lines that were left untranslated or were translated poorly, but this only occurred a few times in the series. The English dub, however, was extremely painful to listen to, with the exception of Sasami, whose whiny voice fitted her part perfectly. The rest of the characters either had problems stressing the wrong parts of their lines, or just plain couldn't act. The casting for the series didn't help the situation either, as the characters were left with awkward accents and horrid voices that can hardly be tolerated by anyone who saw the Japanese dialogue version first. The English script is translated faithfully for the most part, and while there are discrepancies, Pioneer did a good job keeping the general gist of the original Japanese dialogue.

Overall, this collection of OVAs is a fun-packed volume that will entertain any fan of the series. While it doesn't have the drama and angst that categorizes a few key episodes of the series, it has the light-hearted humor that is sprinkled throughout the various Tenchi Muyo! incarnations. The shallow plotlines and random fanservice provide a brainless way to enjoy the episodes, something which is enjoyable every now and again. For viewers who enjoyed the series, this is something that can't be missed.
