Tenchi the Movie 2: Daughter of Darkness

Opinion: It is a let down unless they are looking for a Christmas themed Japanese animated cartoon.

This is a review of the dubbed VHS version (close captioned).

Also known as Tenchi Muyo! Midsummer's Eve.

Like most adventures for Tenchi, it seems like a normal day until a strange girl shows up claiming to be Tenchi's daughter. This is seemingly impossible, but Washu's DNA test on a black hair of the girl proves that Tenchi is the father, but who is the mother of Mayuka. She seems to have no memory of her mother and Ryoko senses something evil about her.

Can Mihoshi give insight about who the new comer is by a silver hair she found that Yosho, Tenchi's grandfather, recognizes? Does this mean she is a danger to Tenchi or is she just dying her hair? Whatever the answer to the problem, will Ryoko let her survive long enough to let us find out Mayuka's true intentions?.
