I really don’t know if Tenchi Moyuwas the original harem comedy or not,but what I do know is that it did give us the harem comedy archtypes that everyone else has copied. Just like
Sailor Moonwas neither the original Magic Girl Show(that was Sally The Witch) nor the first
fighterMagic Girl Show( Cutey Honeyanyone?) it still was the one that everyone after it copied because it was the one that produced all the archtypes that later shows would use.
So the important thing isn’t whether or not
Tenchiwas the firstbut the fact that it was the one that introduced all the important archtypes that others would copy. And this in the end is the most important impact that
Tenchihas had on anime. (Of course I am not forgetting all the memorable characters and the fact that it did give us
Orikasa Ai and Yokoyama Chisa as well as Petrea Burchard.)
