Synopsis:
Following a conflict in space, Tenchi Masaki seeks respite from his duties, but finds himself unexpectedly embroiled in a persistent domestic dynamic. Aeka Jurai Masaki and Ryouko Hakubi, two women vying for his affection, engage in a playful yet disruptive rivalry. Frustrated with conventional courtship, they turn to the world of shoujo manga for guidance on attracting Tenchi's attention.
Their attempts at emulation lead to a series of contrived scenarios designed to evoke romantic feelings. The narrative explores themes of interpersonal relationships and the complexities of affection through a lighthearted lens, examining how preconceived notions of romance can be applied – and misapplied – in everyday life. The anime presents a slice-of-life atmosphere centered around these characters as they navigate their unconventional pursuit of love and connection.

User Aarronin (Score: 8/10):
Don't leave yet. The Carnival has one more game. Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki: The night before the carnival. Story: No spoilers. You just need to go in and experience this last little rollercoaster on your own. Art: The animation team did not slack off on character designs and even made some cool new additions. Sound: Hm...think a bit more bombastic but still more of that classic Tenchi sound.Character: This is all about the girls. Not action. Not threats. Just the cast being themselves.nnEnjoyment: It was fun to see this little epilogue. I laughed and laughed and was curious to see how things went on their little ride.nnOverall: The Night before the Carnival is an epilogue to the first OVA and is like that last ride before closing shop until next year.nn8/10. Be sure to send them off with a smile.
