Not going to lie. Had fonder memories of the english version of that opening. Might have been because I had the VHS dubs back in the 90s. There are almost 20yo, and still work.

This one was good but my all time favorite has to be that first opening. That shit's so mesmerizing.

I can't find it anymore though, especially in blu-ray quality. Must've been taken down en masse on fucking Youtube.

>>150387323
Yeah, I feel you on this one. I have the same sort preference for a bunch of old school English dub OPs because of the nostalgic feelings they evoke.

>>150387417

Just spent a few minute looking for it myself. Yeah, jewtube's automated ban hammer system took it down all right.

>>150387428
Nothing can be done about it. Just accept it.

>>150387417
I always wanted a spinoff where Mihoshi is a detective who always accidentally solves the case through sheer luck and force of will instead of actual detective work. She'd start off as a failure who is ignored and mocked by other officers, but by the end of the series is fear by criminals throughout the galaxy and respected by the toughest, meanest S.O.B.s in the Galaxy Police. Only Kiyone knows she can't detect for shit but never exposes that fact because she loves and cares for Mihoshi. Who else would watch that with me?

>>150387602
You pitched it just right, and this was the sort shit I wanted along with my bro back in the day. Mihoshi is a character underutilized for what she is. We seen her competency in some parts of the OVAs compared to the Universe time line. Success by sheer luck, and circumstance.

>>150387602
You pretty much describe what Mihoshi is now. She solves everything through her overwhelming amounts of luck, otherwise according to what's on lore before she experienced that accident she was some sort of Judge Dredd tier of bad ass cop.

>>150387821
>>150387730
It's definitely not a stretch from how she is presented, it's just certain aspects presented in Universe and OVA continuities that I've combined and played out to their logical ends with a few personal preference items sprinkled in along the way like the relationship between Mihoshi and Washu i.e. the time machine incident.

What was your first exposure to Tenchi Muyo?

Mine was watching Tenchi Muyo in Love being televised on Sci-Fi on an early Saturday morning back in the late 90s. Which cause me to go check out my Blockbuster for anything on it. Found a VHS of the first couple of episodes of Universe. Ended up doing some research online fansites, and started buying the OVAs from Suncoast.

>>150387194
These OP/Ed's always make me smile

>>150387911
I also have a part where Ryoko is presumed to have died while attempting to rescue Tenchi and Ayeka from my main antagonist. Although her sacrifice allows them to escape, they're considered fugitives because of the plot set in motion around them. As a result of both incidents, Ayeka goes full Space Pirate and takes over where Ryoko left off. Meanwhile, Ryoko having lost her memory and nursed back to health by the Jurai Trees is treated like a royal princess and begins to act like one, taking over the role vacated by Ayeka when she went rogue. I had fun imagining this part.

I getcha, I getcha. Out of everyone, Mihoshi gets the least amount of love, it'd be great to explore her past more in-depth because she rose to the top somehow. Whether this is done through novels or shorts, it'd be a nice thing to see overall. Although she did have a special dedicated to her.

> like the relationship between Mihoshi and Washu i.e. the time machine incident

I need more details on this please.

>>150388017
Some kid at school kept hyping up Gundam Wing when Toonami was a still thing. Told me to check it out so I did. Only caught the ending to an episode and sometime afterwards Tenchi Ryo-Ohki came on. Shit stuck with me much more than Gundam did, Outlaw Star was another that sucked me right in as well.

No shame in admitting that I guess.

>>150388017
Tenchi Universe was one of the series available for sale out of the trunk of a car at the San Diego Swap Meet when I was young. It was the first tape I picked and I ended up buying them all from him eventually. The next series I got from him was Patlabor which I found to be just as enjoyable, if not more so. I knew I was one "those" people at that point but didn't worry about it too much, just tried to enjoy it. He eventually sold me Utena, Galaxy Angel, Android Kikaider, Shin Chan, and of course Evangelion.

>>150388281
There's an arc in Tenchi Universe where mihoshi somehow wanders into Washu's secret lab where she promptly begins pressing random buttons on Washu's latest device which happens to be a time machine. The whole cast is sucked into parallel dimensions with alternate versions of themselves and the next several episodes are spent trying to untangle the whole mess. It's my favorite part of the series, especially when Ryoko is a bank robber and Tenchi is her hostage turned accomplice.

Pity I wasn't around for it. And pity that AIC/Pioneer felt the need to switch so much when they did those TV remakes. At least they should have kept Cake Venus when they paired her off with Makoto, instead of turning her into that teenage blob.

Probably won't kill it even if it is terrible. Japan liked GXP and OVA 3 (disliked Ai) They also have the Tenchi Muyo GXP novels which the creator of Tenchi made because he disliked what the director of GXP did to the series. That is why OVA 3 had a colossal turd of an ending with Tenchi creating an alternative the time line.

Thats also why Minaho (Tenchi's Aunt and Ringo- from the novels) are on the cover of the blu ray. Japan likes it.

Is there an illustrated pic and text form like that for all of it? I just read some poorly copied and pasted version of it.

Even if you watch the old OVA they really allude to crazy stuff from the novels.
I have been rewatching it and there was a part in episode 13 when Washu meets Misaki and says "Oh boy she reminds me of someone.." but now I'm like well okay is that alluding to the rumors that Misaki mother is somehow connected to Naja.

I like it and I hate it because some of these questions will never be answered because Kajishima likes to keep us guessing.

I think a major problem for the American audience with OVA 3 was this cannon material was never showcased here and instead of it being hinted at in little ways like that in the past it was really thrown in your face at the end. Especially with the whole little girl Kagato/Noike thing.

>I think a major problem for the American audience with OVA 3 was this cannon material was never showcased here and instead of it being hinted at in little ways like that in the past it was really thrown in your face at the end.

That's honestly one of the issues with Kajishima's continuity (and multi-media things in general) is that a lot of his work is completely segregated to Japan, meaning that a good chunk of important stuff will never see the light of day in America. At least officially anyway, they're still a bunch of people that translate his doujins from time to time, but the bulk of everything is still floating about.

GXP and OVA 3 were geared towards that Japanese, which is why they sucked hard here. Not just because of that mind you, it sucked period but the material gap is one contributing reason. I don't think he realized how sizable the following of people were in the States.

Toonami with Tenchi Universe. Was able to watch all the way to the middle of In Tokyo until my mom cut off the cable.

>>150393489
Based on the first episode, the series looks like it will focus on Minaho, and whatever plan she has for Tenchi. Though the backdrop for this will be Rea and Nobuyuki's wedding. Rea barely appeared in this one. There's no next episode preview either.

Rewatching some of the original OVA...

It's really charming but I forgot how bad they were. Don't get me wrong it out charms the bad especially with the dub cast until the 3rd OVA.

But yeah nothings ever explained and all the side plots are hand waved, but it's an OVA what else to expect?

Minaho's plan or Seto's? She was a pretty seemingly meek character in gxp.

If you have seen it... are they playing her up to be part of the Harem or just an important family member. (Its sad that I even have to ask that...)

>>150394192
Seto wasn't in the episode and I don't think she was even mentioned. Funaho gave some kind of talk to Minaho, I think she insinuated that after the Nobuyuki and Rea wedding it would be Minaho's turn to find a husband or something. My Japanese isn't great and I need to watch it again.

Anyway Minaho said to Tenchi at the end of the episode that she wants to monopolize the son that Kiyone loved so much, and then said "tsukiatte kureru" which is basically, go out with me. But I guess the meaning could be more ambiguous, I didn't get the sense that she was actually in love with him. But who knows.

In 1998, a local PBS station based in San Jose, CA would air anime late on Sunday nights. I had a TV in my room for the first time, and I stumbled across Urusei Yatsura, an episode where Lum appeared topless. My first exposure to anime and I was hooked. Anyway they also were broadcasting Tenchi Universe as part of the same block, and I also really loved it.

The two are still among my favorite anime series to this day.

You didn't even need to research to know that. Kagato heavily implies it in episode 5. There's lots of hidden info in the first two OVA series because the dubs and subs are so heavily flawed.

>>150395191
>You didn't even need to research to know that. Kagato heavily implies it in episode 5.
I thought it was just implied she got either lazy, or was forced into a basic patrol duty cop for always casing to much collateral damage. This lore rabbit hole is to deep for me. Even nearly two decades later I'm still learning more new things about the characters.

I'm so mad that they had such a good universe set up with some great characters and they just shit all over it.

but I think its sarcastic because she destroys shit in the process. I can't really tell if it is meant as sarcasm in the subs but it has that tone in the dubs.

>>150395191
It's implied on OVA 1 that she has many feats under her belt, but some sort of fucked-up past was implied in short scene on OVA 3, but I never saw any proper translated source on that, only people parroting stuff.

>>150395430
He comments on her performance in the past in all honesty to her credit, but he was striking a nerve in her by saying she is not the cop she was before. So Mihoshi does take her job seriously, but we never got a clear idea how she was before.

Hell even the slice of life junk was more solidly entertaining because the characters would go out of the house to do thing. Mihoshi's driving test would be solid gold.

>Here's character X she's so and so's great great whatever who's part of some organization, just pretend she was part of this world the whole time. Well that sucked up a good chunk of the episode here's two and half seconds of Ryoko and Ayeka squabbling.

That's it? After 12 years that's well we get? I guess if there was any hope of anything happening is out the window.

Why is Kaji so against telling an actual story after Kagato? It's not like there's nothing to tell. Fuck I think it's high time Tenchi take a step on Jurai's surface. We've only really actually visited the planet in Universe.

Even if Tenchi himself doesn't care about the throne I bet a lot of Jurains would want to pull some shit on him too. Maybe he has to fend off some assassins and the gang has to unravel a conspiracy? That would be cool.

How about actually marrying the girls finally. I don't imagine that would end Ryoko and Ayeka's arguing, in fact it would probably exacerbate it some so you won't have to give up that joke.

I just watched Tenchi in subtitles for the first time because I knew this wasnt going to happen and wanted Ryokos voice to be recognizeable.

... It actually changes her characterization a lot. Also the dialouge and feel of a lot of scenes are very different. More eerie or raunchy.

Miss her. And wish she did come back.

I actually didn't mind these designs. Sasami was a bit too sexualized but that was to be expected these days. Washu's getup is retarded too, but her hair looks great. same with Ryoko's modernized hair, looks good. The problem with AI was the horrible production art quality, the story, and actually just about everything else about it.

The high slit exposed leg on Ayeka runs completely contrary to her role as Ryoko's parallel. The series didn't shy away from fanservice but in general she's the conservative foil to Ryoko's more "forward" sexuality.

These look like a cheap hentai game's idea of what the shy girl might wear

>>150396880

instead of a harem of "I love this guy forever because I bumped into him that one time"
you get girls with nuanced feelings for the MC that turn to resentment and often hatred due to him not giving up the cock

Ryoko's redesign was awful. How can anyone like it? The long spiky hair is her trademark design. Mihoshi looks like an actual hentai cumslut. Washu as well. If she wanted to be taken as a innocent little girl. She would not wear slutty scientist uniform. Same with Sasami. Ayeka is probably the closest to her original design without looking like a slut.

>>150396821
Mona is an over rated cunt. She could had tried for the sake of the fans of the series. She didn't, so fuck her. We can agree to that.

>>150396928
Except Ryoko spent the last 16+ years seeing Tenchi grow up while sealed inside the shrine by Yosho. So my question is. Did you actually watch the OVAs or just shit posting out of your ass with cliff-notes from wikpedia to make shitpost arguments?

I wouldn't mind a new ongoing television series. Maybe build off the OVA universe as a new setting and have Tenchi and the gang actually explore it over the course of 26 episode. Adapt some stuff from Universe like Kiyone and Nagi and if you have to use Noike you can actually take the time to explore who she is.

Cuz seriously what does she even do? I remember her getting mad at Ryoko and Aeka when Tenchi was sick and....Kagato?

>>150397136
she saw him piss, eat a potato, and cry one time
she probably spent more time spying on the mailman delivering hair scrunchies to yosho's shrine

>>150397152
I don't think they can use Kiyone because Hasegawa owns the rights to her.

She is Kagatos female side.
Because he was a hermaphrodite when Najas clone merged with a male Ryoko prototype. So he hated women and seperated himself or some dumb shit.

Sometimes I think Noike isnt so bad and then I remember that dumb shit and she took over OVA 3.

She is a more complex Kiyone. Was Mihoshis partner... Liked that part but... The kagato shit was stupid.

>>150397167
You realize they only shown various examples right. You can take into account Tenchi had spent a lot of time around that shrine growing up. For fucking years. Not just the few times they did show in the OVA. There is a reason Ryoko is drawn to Tenchi, and you seem to had missed it.

That would be great. I would also love some more GXP, I mean the guy is 3rd in line to the Juraian throne and they could have expanded the universe more with the handmaidens going to a new sector of space. It's a bit like Dual! He never went anywhere with it. Hell, same with Geminar. I bet we'll never get to see Kenshi get off that planet with a new sister of Ryo-ohki born from his necklace.

I'll never be part of Seto's schemes, go on a space adventure, get a harem, find a giant robot, and luck my way into royalty.

>>150397298
I'd say OVA series 1-2 hold up quite well.

WHY IS THAT A PLOT POINT!? We can't go to space anymore but apparently Kagato having a vagina is a huge deal we should be made aware of.

And okay, so she's part of Kagato, that could work. Hell that could be a startling revelation for Tenchi and the others. Maybe Ayeka, Washu and Ryoko don't trust her. We can get a story where she has to win them over by saving them at great risk to herself. Hell maybe Ryoko can be conflicted because she too had a sordid past but at the same time it was because of Kagato. Washu never got the chance to talk to Kagato in the OVA so maybe she can resolve thing vicariously through her.

>She is a more complex Kiyone.

Sounds more convoluted. Kiyone may not have been a complex character but we got a sense of her personality and how she fit into the group. It was nice to have an additional straight man and it was extra nice to have a girl who wasn't into Tenchi.

I ended up liking OVA2 a lot less than I remember from way back when I just rewatched it.

The good bits are very good but there's so much nothing between it. The stuff with Sasami and Ayeka in episode 9 is fantastic, Ill admit it had me a good bit misty eyed. But so much of that episode is spent on stupid Scooby Do nonsense.

Washu's back story was really nice and moving as well. But that made up just a small portion of that episode likewise and instead we get LOL NO ONE CAN RAISE BABY!

Episode 13 was good though. We saw a lot of Jurai stuff, Misaki and Funaho are interesting and fun characters and it felt important.

Ryohohki getting a human form is stupid. But that's just me.

Homie, Ryoko is mai fucking waifu. But my artfag brain is not ignorant to the fact that Ryoko's design is pretty dated. It screams '90's cat/monster girl'. The Ai design was a nice modernization. She still kept the spikes, and her hair was still wild, but not wild as to make it so reminiscent of the 90's. Think about a model from the 80's and their rocker poof/incredi-volume hair. That hairstyle would be laughed at by today's standards. There are still 'wild' haircuts for today's 3D, and anime is no different. I feel the same about her getup, it's still space-piratey but modernized, and still very much Ryoko. This pic is actually really good for her, minus the goofy lip design and too-small eyes. >>150396927
And for fucking once they reverted her ears back to a smaller, sleeker elf-alien shape, not that droopy shit from OVA 3 and the author designs. Ugh.

When Tenchi beat him way back in episode 6 he was weirdly calm about it. Almost like he had a greater plan or back up in place.

Fuck this shit is writing itself.

Noike appears and the gang finds out she's part Kagato or whatever. Over an episode or two they actually start to bond and become real friends and just when everyone lowers their guard BOOM! Noike gets a pair of nice glasses and starts speaking in a male voice and Kagato is back for revenge. He grabs Sasami and fucks off to try and gain control of Tsunami.

Now the gang is stuck between a rock in a hard place. Was Noike playing them? Can they stop Kagato without killing her? Can they save Sasami? The only way to know for sure is to find out more about Kagato and the world around them.

ARE YOU LISTENING KAJISHIMA!? This is called brainstorming! It's how you expand your plot and world but still make the story interesting and exciting.

My favorite anime is Universe. It lacks the crazy world building the OVA started but it expands the lore well enough while still taking time to tell an actual story.

Overall though Ive recently come to like the manga best. It builds off the stuff in the OVA but makes a great compromise of actual adventure and SOL.

Plus Minage is cool and Yakage ended up being a really nice "villain" in his own right.

Kind of hoping they up the nudity to the 1992 levels, but update the nipple and areola design to modern standards, a la Valkyrie Drive.

Tenshi was at its best when they were just fucking around in those floating hot springs while it was snowing outside, while further being isolated to the Masaki homestead up in the mountains. Maximum anime comfy, I think only the first few episodes of Ai Yori Aoshi can compete, when it's just MC and Aoi living together.

All of that fucking Noh "YOOOO doink doink" cements it further. Tenchi revels is how classically Japanese it is in some ways, like literally taking place at a shrine.

>>150399930
There's also the fact the Kagato feared Seto like the plague according to Ryoko.

Think about that. She put fear into a cold blooded man that has no problem with wiping out entire planets. The same man that has a massive battleship that just rammed a fleet of Galaxy Police warships because they were in his way. This motherfucker was scared of her.

Seto is NOT to be fucked with.

>>150400167
That's partly, though certainly not mostly, because she has a First Generation Jurain Tree Ship.
Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki were defeated by Funaho and Ryu-Oh, both 2nd generation ships, though to the mutual near-destruction of both on each occasion.
The Soja, for all it's power, didn't have the LHW, and that's a big thing it lacks.

Man, Light Hawk Wings are reason enough as to hate the OVAs decline in slice of life. Here we have a boy who can create three of the most powerful weapons in the universe and the bulk of the series is spent with him tilling his carrot field.

Now don't misunderstand me, I like a hero who is humble. Tenchi shouldn't want trouble. But his peaceful nature is what gives his power merit when he's forced to use it.

where's the fucking chapter??

>>150400517
That was his part, being the most normal despite being a super spacegod. I don't think the number of wings has any importance, Tokimi laughs when someone tells her.

He only has to use them in the most dire of situations, IE- Z.
Any other time his girls are more than eager to take care of it for him.

He's a simple man, all he wants to do is plow his fields, and plow his wives.

But on some level I agree with you. I'm hoping Seto manipulates him into some honor duel on her behalf so he has to hold back in a fight.

>>150400682

Well my point is that after gaining super powers Tenchi proceeds to generally do fuck all with them. It's like if King Arthur shoved Excalibur into an umbrella stand and left it there. Conflict drives a story.

The Choushin were trying to find the being greater than themselves, and went about it in separate ways.
Washu was going to do it with Science and start from the bottom up. She got distracted by a delicious brown fuckboi.

Tsunami decided to give some Space Pirates magic trees that could become magic OP as FUCK spaceships. She got distracted by becoming a tree or something.
It could be argued her way worked.

Tokimi decided to stay a goddess and make small changes that would ripple out, I believe.
This resulted in several aberrations, beings that defy the natural order of the universe, that we know of. Seina, Mihoshi, Misaki as the Counter-Actor, and Z.

At least, that's how I understand it.
Don't ask me what that shit with Z's family was at the very start of OVA 3. I can't even guess that shit. Maybe one of Kajishima's doujins will tell you.

She doesn't have a first generation ship. Only Yosho's Funaho and Azusa's Kirito are first generation trees. Seina might get one later if his seed sprouts.

Seto's Mikagami is a second-generation tree, but has that "special attack" that she used a few times in GXP that the others don't seem to possess.

>>150401349
You sure Funaho is 1st gen? It would stand to reason that the prince, just like the princess, would get 2nd gen.

It's got to be in the last episode of OVA 2, or the 2nd or 3rd of OVA 3, but I can't recall anything specific.

Something like that. In the Hasegawa novels, I think, she could eventually tap into the power of 10 LHWs, and I'm pretty sure Kajishima said that Ryoko with all three gems could be as powerful as a Choushin if she now what she was doing.

She is the REAL empress of Jurai. She was offered the throne but Seto refused, because she has more power doing things unofficially. If you want something done from the Empire you need her okay, not anyone else's.

This is actually rather simple. It's basic physics- Every action has an opposite and equal reaction.
A Counter Action, if you will.

All of Tokimi's meddling resulted in Z, and likely Mihoshi and Seina, and the Counter Action to this resulted in Misaki, who in the far future after Azusa and Funaho have died, went mad with grief and started killing people.
All the black on her is where the palace guards shot her.

And for a being with, what, 5 wings? I suppose Time Travel isn't too difficult.

Now recall the Counter Actor's encounter with Tokimi, and look at this picture.

See that's well and good but we're still missing a few steps between grief stricken mother and COSMIC MONSTROSITY that can CHOKE A LITERAL GOD.

>>150401545
One of Kajishima's books shows an alternate timeline where Misaki went batshit insane due to watching everyone she loved die one by one around her as she is immortal. Z pulled the grieving and insane Misaki from that timeline to choke out Tokimi.

>>150401853

Right but if every Jurain (Juraite?) who suffered grief could choke a cosmic bitch surely this kind of thing would happen more.

I get the bad future thing but where does the increase in power come from? I know the power of Jurai and the light hawk is hot shit but it still pales in comparison to what we've seen of the godesses

>>150401852
Glitch in the Tenchiverse version of the Matrix maybe?

>>150401745
This does serve as a decent explanation as to why Washu and Tsunami are both pooling their resources in Tenchi, though probably unintentionally at first, but now there is an existential reason to do so.

>Background information released by the series creator indicates the Counter-Actor is from a point in the distant future (ten thousand years or more) when both her husband Azusa, and her co-wife Funaho have passed on, which caused Misaki to eventually go mad from her grief and destructive power. According to this information, during his time travel after being struck by Z's Light Hawk Wing, Tenchi was to encounter Misaki in her future time. Unfortunately, while planned, it was cut from the OVA.

Fucking hell, this would have really helped.

>>150401500

Funaho is a first generation tree. It's one of the reasons Yosho is the crown prince and why he's powerful enough to stand against Ryo-Ohki. Only Kirito and Funaho were able to stand against Soja and Ryo-Ohki, second-generation trees like Ryu-Oh lasted for a short time but eventually got wrecked and third-generation trees didn't even put up much of a fight.

Having a first generation tree more or less lets one cut the line of succession ahead of everyone who doesn't have one. It's how Azusa got the throne, why Yosho is his heir (the throne is not actually automatically hereditary), why Tenchi is his successor (he basically *is* a first generation tree), and why Seina (who is not Juraian at all) is possibly third in line (because of his first generation seed).

>>150401853
Tangently related, Kajishima also said there's a possibility that one day, Seto's husband would die and leave her in Azusa's care, who she had always been in love with, but due to politics and such, couldn't marry.
Basically telling Azusa with his dying breath "Ball's in your court now, bitch!"

>Fucking hell, this would have really helped.

Im not an animation guy but HOW does it get cut? They either decide to put it in or they don't. And considering how much time we wasted on stupid nothing happening in OVA3 it makes me extra confused.

I just really like Misaki

There is just so much unanswered questions about the background of Tenchi Muyo. GXP came so close but Nabeshin fucked it all up. Even GXP brought a lot of questions like: What the fuck is the Renza Federation? Why is that loli Nejiu remind me of an Alpha+ Warhammer 40k psyker? How the fuck do pirates get powerful to the point that they have fleets that can go toe to toe with Galaxy Police warships?

>>150402358
I for some reason always found Misaki to cute to sexualize. Where I see her as an adult Sasami, even when you look at Tsunami. It must just be her personality. The hovering, and harping mother figure. It is a hard thing to get past when fantasizing erotic thoughts.

Unless that is your fetish.

>>150402313
I don't hate OVA 3, at least it had that little Q&A session at the end to explain things (for the most part). The amount of digging for I had to do over the years in fan forums did at least maintain my interest in the franchise as a whole.

actually for that matter who do the GP actually report too. In most universes their a rival group to the Jurai empire but a police force needs to have some actual authority to back it up outside of having ships and guns.

Jurai is an Empire but near as I can tell the GP is just the green lantern corp but without power rings and Rot Lop Fan.

>actually for that matter who do the GP actually report too.
GP is fundamentally the Galactic Fed Ex. That's where they get their money from, and the police force is used to guard the shipment of packages being couriered across the galaxy.

The GXP ended up running 1/2 the known universe because they have ships everywhere. While Jurai own most of the other half.

While it's very possible Kajishima or the animators just didn't keep everything straight chronologically, there are shots of her being like five years old and already having purple hair. She already liked Yosho by then but I doubt you'd call that lust.

More likely though, Ayeka was designed to be visually distinct from Ryoko and Sasami, both of whom have bright green hair. Only later was the question likely raised as to why Ayeka had straight purple hair while Sasami and Misaki have curly green hair, so an excuse was invented.

Maybe it's just one of those Japan things but they always seem to go out of the way to make their stories more complex than they need to be

Welp, I was hoping at some point we'd get to see a bit of OVA 4 and actually have something to discuss but I guess not. Good thread nonetheless, they usually don't last this long.

the reason so many people like this OP is because its closely tied to the Toonami opening for Tenchi Muyo.

We started this one a good bit earlier than the last few so it seems like it found the proper crowd. Im just glad I got to chat in one before having to go to bed for a change. I swear it's like this board waits till I have to sleep before wanting to talk about shows I like.

Toonami back then could hype shit up, especially when you got Optimus Prime on your side. Nowadays not so much.

>>150405695
They'll be plenty more to come once that first episode gets subbed; and more for every episode that does hit.

Game's not over yet.

I mean yeah we should expect more out of an OVA but it's not a year thing
