Tenchi Muyo! (! Tenchi Muyō!?, lit. "Right Side Up with Care" or "No Need for Tenchi!") is a Japanese anime, light novel, and manga franchise. The original series began with a six episode OVA called Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (天地無用! 魎皇鬼 Tenchi Muyō! Ryōōki?) created by Masaki Kajishima and Hiroki Hayashi, and released in Japan on September 25, 1992. The series was released by Pioneer LDC in the United Kingdom in 1994. As its popularity grew, it spurred a seventh episode titled Tenchi Muyo! Special: The Night Before the Carnival (also known as the Tenchi Special) and a stand-alone Tenchi Muyo! Mihoshi Special. A second OVA series was directed by Kenichi Yatani that was released in 1994, and a third OVA series, also directed by Kenichi, was released in 2003.

A fourth OVA series is currently in production in Japan, with the first collection due to be released November 30, 2016. The following episodes are planned to be released with an interval of 3 months each, and the final part of the series arrives August 30, 2017.

A twenty-six episode anime television series called Tenchi Universe (天地無用! Tenchi Muyō!?) was released in 1995 retelling and expanding upon the original six-episode story. Tenchi in Tokyo (新・天地無用! Shin Tenchi Muyō!?) was created in 1997, and is another alternate version of the original story. The latest version of the series called Ai Tenchi Muyo!, was broadcast on Tokyo MX in 2014.
