>Eternity is relentless, Tenchi. When I first stole into this chamber, centuries ago, I did not fathom the true power of knowledge. To know the future, Tenchi. To see it's paths and streams tracing out into the infinite. As a woman, I could never have contained such forbidden truths, but each of us is so much more than we once were. Do you not feel with all your soul how we have become like gods? As such, are we not indivisible? As long as a single one of us stands, we are legion. Our futures are predestined. Tokimi foretold mine eons ago, we each play out the parts fate has written for us. Free will is an illusion.
What did she mean by this?
>>151154591
I don't care. Nothing happens. Im done. Im just gonna go rewatch Universe and see something happen
>>151154669
I was rewatching the series, anticipating OVA 4. From what I can gather people are trying to get the subs done but it's a lengthy process because there's no mob of people snatching up the RAWs like crazy..
Subs are out? Where?
>>151154591
Her father was a watchmaker.
>>151154863
Nowhere. Unless you can read Chinese.
>>151154591
As if the Tenchi series could ever have writing comparable to Legacy of Kain's incredible dialogue.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x54al94
Someone subbed the first 5 minutes of the episodes for anyone that cares.
>>151155335
DAMN
Other than OVA 4, what is some of the material that we haven't had an opportunity to get because it remains untouched by translators?Anyone also see those store bonus art pieces?
Seems there's a raw up on nyaa, though it's currently stuck at 98%.
>>151155912
Complete now.
>>151155912
>>151156108
Just checked it out. Is the quality good and everything?
>>151155912
CMON SUBGROUPS. LET'S GOOOOOO
>>151156741
speedsubs won't help make sense of this bullshit
>>151156494
Looked pretty decent to me, though I'm not overly picky when it comes to encoding quality.
>>151156741
>>151157196
Something about this amazes me. When Ai first started coming out, it had people in droves subbing the fuck out it, nabbing each episode right out of the gate to get it all finished up. But now that the main Tenchi continuity has finally reared itself out of hibernation, everybody has just suddenly up and vanished.I'm thinking out of spite, too.
>>151157320
Not bad actually.
>>151157735
Well I think that had more to do with Ai being shorter episodes and well, frankly retardedly simple.
>waaaah you saw my panties
whereas OVA Tenchi is full of shit like family lineage, weird as proper nouns and is generally a clusterfuck
>>151157735
>everybody has just suddenly up and vanished.
Fansubs have been pretty dead for years now. Hopefully somebody gets around to it soon.
>>151157887
Has Funimation said anything?
>>151158110
They may or may not pick it up, just depends on how well the show sells. But I doubt it'll be within' this coming year, considering that these episodes have a strange release time sprawled throughout the months.
>>151156741
i bought it expecting to do it after i watched 2 and 3, but that never happened
>>151159811
>but that never happened
>>151160637
i watched the first episodes of the second season, and found them to both be pretty boring, so i just stopped
>>151160898
So wait -- you watched only the beginning of OVA 2?
>>151158470
>>151158987
I'm firmly a Washu guy, but goddamn, Mihoshi has the best outfits.
>tfw u find out your granddad bought you an animation cell from ova 1 when you were a kid but died before giving it to u and ur parents sold it to a relative that busted a nut on it, then sold it on ebay
>>151163653
Break said relative's nose, then leave some flowers on granddad's grave.
>>151163653
Nice
>>151163397
>Mihoshi has the best outfits.
Yeah, she had the best fashion sense throughout the series. Maybe Ryoko coming second place.
>>151164084
Ryoko has like, two outfits and her battle dress in the OVA, and that time she wore Tenchi's mom's kimono.
I just wish the girls would get some contemporary clothes. Like, Washu's a start, but it's the same thing all the time.
I'd kill to see Ryoko and Ayeka in well fitting jeans.
Seto a best.
>>151164417
if she took a big enough shit i'd suck her shit's dick bro
Oh yeah, I forgot this was coming out until I suddenly remembered it was a thing last night. So only the first episode's out? Anybody watch it that could understand the dialogue? The designs shown in the thread look alright, butWashu looks a little too cute in my opinion.
>>151164303
Fuck I meant Kiyone being a close second. That skirt/legging/boots combo really makes my dick erect.
>I just wish the girls would get some contemporary clothes
>I'd kill to see Ryoko and Ayeka in well fitting jeans.
Mihoshi and Kiyone naturally do. You'll have to dive into spin-off territory to see the latter point; for instance I know every switches up their normal outfits to get comfortable in Daughter of Darkness.
>>151157320
Can I get those subs now.
But that character growth for Ryoko and Ayeka is the real deal guys.
>>151165134
I see what you mean.
>>151165259
Now she just pretends not to like it.
>>151164417
... GMILF
>>151164814
>Anybody watch it that could understand the dialogue?
This is a third-hand or so account, but the premise is that Tenchi's Aunt, pictured here with the shit eating grin, has come to Earth to stake her claim on Tenchi for her private use.
It's my belief that it's all just a scheme of Seto's to get Tenchi to commit to his girls, since she's one if Seina's suitors in the GXP novels.
>>151165376
>GXP novels
To whom do I need to sell my soul for English translations of these? Loved the show but an expanded version of it without the unnecessary crass humor sounds so much better.
>>151165376
I agree it seems to be that way.
Or the royal family might want a real end to that Harem. Azusa and Seto watched Tenchi turn into a god and he is surrounded by the most powerful women alive.
I don't know whats up with the 3 girls with Minaho.
>>151165459
There's a guy working on them, slowly but finally.
Until then, enjoy the fact that Kajishima is working in GXP girls.
>>151165519
This is good news. Do you know if he has a site or anything where he updates his progress?
>>151165519
>>151164417
>>151165459
No fucking kidding. The novels seem really great compared to the shit show the show was. It had amazing concepts and characters but that director shit all over it.
>>151165490
>I don't know whats up with the 3 girls with Minaho
They're descendants of Yosho, the branch that he started on Earth.
Apparently this cutie is the one that runs shit, since god knows Yosho isn't going to lift a finger.
>>151165599
He posts here and on UselessTenchi.
It's possible he posts progress on /jp/, but I've never checked.
>>151165376
Was she the purple haired chick shown in the OVA 4 announcement doujin?
>>151165490
>No antagonist
I keep hearing some guy named Shank will be the villain.
Don't know who the fuck that is.
>>151165738
>Shank
Wait, didn't this guy get blown up in GXP?
>>151165698
K but what is there connect with Minaho?
She is super cute isn't she? I love that she looks like Ayeka but seems to be a trouble maker.
>>151165738
>some guy named Shank
Tarant Shank, a recurring villain from GXP. He tried to kill Seina before his wedding, but Seina outsmarted him and got his pocket knife back to boot.
And Purple hair is probably the girl at the back left here.
>>151165738
She was. She has been featured a few times. It is always the 3 girls with Minaho. They are her assistances or to be betrothed to her (or her husband)
>>151165781
I don't know. I don't have any fucking clue what their business is, nor why Ringo, Seto's accountant, is showing up either.
>>151165915
Frustrating. We really don't know much about these characters. Japanese fans have such great insight because of the novels and the doujinshis. I'm jealous.
What about Mihoshi's new buddy? She needed a friend in the house. Noike is such a bitch to her.
>>151166090
>What about Mihoshi's new buddy?
Did you not watch OVA 3? We know all about Tokimi.
>>151166205
No I mean the new friendship.
Tokimi is a bad bitch.
>>151166294
I guess she just chilled out, finally.
>>151165779
>>151165832
>GXP
Well fuck that makes a lot of sense. The show felt like it would actually go somewhere, but ultimately didn't. Only two episodes that stuck out in memory would be the ones where Seina returns to Earth. I guess there's a reason why he's remaking it in novel form.
>>151166090
>>151166205
>>151166294
>Tokimi never ended up being the series final big bad
Would've been cool.
>>151166745
Tokimi was the final bad guy in the manga.
I like the battle with Z but Kagato was the best bad guy in the OVA sadly. I mean OVA 1 was just amazing.
>>151161158
i watched OVA 1 which was pretty good, and then started OVA 2, but it seemed a lot worse than the first
i watched only the first two episodes of it, and neither of them struck me as interesting
>>151166745
>Only two episodes that stuck out in memory would be the ones where Seina returns to Earth
That's different in the novels too. In the anime they were there for a few hours, but in the novels they stayed overnight. Also this happened.
I want to see Ryoko Balta fangirling over Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki.
>>151166980
Yes. This part stuck out the most from what I have read translated from the Novels... Ryoko Balta loving Ryoko and Ryoko rubbing it in Ayekas face that people look up to her.
What I want out of this OVA. Onsen scenes. Tenchi showing some backbone.(Not is the asshole way he did in the GXP show.) The character growth is nice but if Ryoko doesn't try to get frisky then what the fuck is the point. And hopefully the girls working together in some way to fuck over Minaho.
I agree Seto is behind this shit but I don't know her goal.
So how far away is this OVA set before Tenchi starts marrying his harem?
>>151167119
>I don't know her goal.
Shit, that's an easy one.
Ever more grandchildren that she can use as pawns in her scheme to unite the galaxy.
She's the God Emperor of Mankind meets Austria.
>Let others wage war. You, lucky Austria, will marry!
>>151166973
Read the manga. It builds off of the OVAs but in a way that's actually fun because shit actually happens.
>>151167223
No one knows.
Could start the process this OVA. It takes place before Noboyuki's wedding. They seem married at the end of GXP or in some sort of relationship. This is speculated to take place somewhere in the middle of the novels. Kajishima has the next OVA written and wrote the IF series awhile ago showing them raising children together.
Pretty much we don't fucking know. We would probably know a lot more if the shit out there was translated.
>>151167223
He's boning his wives in broad daylight about the time Sasami is a year from finishing highschool, and Kenshi is in elementary school, and there's some that think Rhea was pregnant at the wedding.
So, that's your window.
>>151167391
wait, the fuck? That can't be official
>>151166861
>Tokimi was the final bad guy in the manga.
The manga was great. You can also feel he was running outta steam in those last couple of stories but everything preceding it is a wild ride. Kept in tune with that Tenchi spirit.
>I like the battle with Z but Kagato was the best bad guy in the OVA sadly.
Hate to say it but I don't even think he really fought Z, at least not in the way he fought Kagato. I don't even know what the fuck Z was trying to do by the end of the show.
> I mean OVA 1 was just amazing.
It was, it really was. And to think that if they had gone with this alternative route of making Tenchi and Ryoko both the main center protagonists having space adventures, while everybody else was there to add more drama to the stories.
>>151167283
>Ever more grandchildren that she can use as pawns in her scheme to unite the galaxy.
I wish someone would knock her down a few pegs. Give her something to worry about instead of having her curbstomping the fuck outta everything.
>>151167445
It is.
Go to E-Hentai look up Kajishima Masaki.
Sasami then goes and flick the bean.
>>151167445
100% official, it's a Kajishima doujin.
https://exhentai.org/g/64495/9c24632a36/
>>151167480
Z was trying to kill Tenchi and reset the timeline with him having no powers. It was him proving he was more powerful then Tokimi and the godesses as his fuck you to them... I guess. Idk.
>>151167480
>It was, it really was. And to think that if they had gone with this alternative route of making Tenchi and Ryoko both the main center protagonists having space adventures, while everybody else was there to add more drama to the stories.
I like the trio tho.
>>151167523
And since Ryo-Ohki looks like the second to last picture in this doujin, that narrows the window a little further.
I just can't understand Kajishima's mind and thought process. It gets said a lot but he is far more interested in his world building then actually doing anything with it. I like the world and characters but it's boring to not see them doing anything but spout exposition about Jurai and then add characters who don't add shit to the story.
I know it probably all makes more sense in all the extra material the Japanese fans get but even with it making more sense there's still a whole lot of nothing happening.
First OVA was great. You got your introductions then you had them fight Kagato to prevent him from doing bad thing
In Universe, you set up the world and have some fun them boom they're in space trying to take back the thrown after being framed for a coup
fuck even Tokyo, FUCKING Tokyo had a demon trying to purposely split everyone up so she could do whatever.
>>151167626
Ryo-ohki confuses me. Like she gets hot...
but why...
>>151167790
Simple Jack Harkness test.
Is it of at least Human intelligence?
Is it of breeding age?
Is it willing?
If the answer to all three is yes, then it's okay to fuck.
>>151167790
Keiji's a weird fucking guy. Like I can look past the incest, but the cat space ship who has the brain of an animal at best and a toddler at worst? No, that's just... skeezy. I can see why no other version of the story really followed that plot line. It's creepy.
>>151167913
>brain of an animal at best and a toddler at worst?
Incorrect, see here >>151167626
She grew up, and faster than Sasami at that, the poor dear.
>>151167984
You know like by the time Sasami is in HS and peeping in on Tenchi she like WTF even the cat is getting fucked.
>>151167880
Still sexually confused.
>>151167626
You know what I find confusing is the timeline of IF vs. Kenshi's age. Like Ryo-ohki gets pregnant a year or two after Ryoko and Ayeka. Okay... but like Kenshi is nowhere in those stories but because of War on Geminar made it seem like Kenshi was super involved in their lives... so I found it odd he wasn't shown. (Maybe there was already to many Tenchi look alikes with Seina's kids.)
Please tell me Tenchi doesn't wait 15+ years to impregnate these girls.
so who's he knock up first?
>>151168131
I remember that he marries best girl first, so probably her.
>>151168131
Ryoko
Ayeka very shortly after.
>>151168154
Like very shortly.
>>151168131
Either Washu or Ryoko.
Washu had a son that ran off to become an archeologist when he couldn't deal with all the crazy women in the house.
Ryoko's the first in the IF doujins.
>>151168221
Are those triplets or did Tenchi REALLY like the space ship?
>>151168078
Maybe five or six years, judging from this.
>>151168260
The answer of course is both.
>>151168268
God I fucking hate Noike
>Oh hey let's just show up and make all the girls take a back seat
>Sure Ill tease a connection to a plot element that could be interesting but we won't ever do shit with it
>>151168260
>>151168295
Sadly I really like Ryo-ohki is Tenchi's fav. Probably because she is pretty drama free or because he likes the fur.
>>151168268
Thanks for pointing this out. Thats for sure the babies in the front. Wonder why he waited so long with Noike and Mihoshi. I mean I would be afraid to put another Mihoshi in that house.
>>151168387
>Wonder why he waited so long with Noike and Mihoshi. I mean I would be afraid to put another Mihoshi in that house.
At least with Mihoshi, we know that she has a full time job and is rarely home.
As for Noike, she just gets married so late because marriage order matters in a harem, and Tenchi just is closer with the other girls.
>>151168378
She isn't so bad. I don't like how she treats Mihoshi.
>>151168459
I could see Tenchi not wanting to hurt them and deciding to marry them in the order he met them. Seems to check out.
>>151168472
>She isn't so bad. I don't like how she treats Mihoshi.
It is simply the case that Noike is only in the harem so Seto can keep an eye on the whole family. It would be rude to call Noike a spy especially since everyone know why she is there, but she is more like Seto's representative.
>>151167767
The first OVA had two guys on the project, one of which was Kaji, both of them put together came out with some real good shit. OVA 2 is where they split and left Kajishima at the helm and this is where you can kinda see the downwards plummet of things. It just makes me think if he had made OVA 3 into a traditional show instead of just an OVA, he could've fit in all that dumb shit that rabble roused the pacing of the story, have enough room to end it all on a giant climatic set-piece and make everything mesh perfectly.
While I love what Negishi has done with his Tenchi works, I don't hate Kajishima's stuff, it just feels he doesn't know what the fuck he needs to do for the most part which means it could all end on a really tangle/confusing note. It also kinda fucking sucks knowing AIC gave Negishi the boot on a proper Tenchi installment because frankly Ai obviously wasn't his best efforts with a show, despite trying to make the most of it, it still ended up bad.Still enjoyed Tokyo, though. For all it's silliness.
>>151168535
I think once she realizes who Tenchi is (the man from her dreams.. literally) she falls in love with him and that is why Minaho is sent. (Seto can't control the situation.)
>>151168563
>OVA 2 is where they split and left Kajishima at the helm and this is where you can kinda see the downwards plummet of things.
It is silly to still bash the one guy who is keeping the Tenchi franchise alive.
>>151168472
She's just so generally boring and the last thing you do to an group of characters who don't do enough is add someone who makes it so they do less
>>151168535
Seto alone makes the OVA world hard to watch. She get's away with so much and from what I was able to snoop around she does some FUCKED shit.
>>151168634
>Seto alone makes the OVA world hard to watch. She get's away with so much and from what I was able to snoop around she does some FUCKED shit.
Seto is the balance in the universe that made sure the gods don't go all their way. A mortal who worked her way up to being the unofficial ruler of the known world. And of course, there is recent reveal that she is Washu's best friend back in Whasu's student days, when she had a different identity.
>>151168603
>who is keeping the Tenchi franchise alive.
what's the point of keeping it alive if you're not gonna treat it well. Id have rather the series ended with a proper conclusion ala Universe than a boring endless parade of family trees and exposition
>>151168732
>what's the point of keeping it alive if you're not gonna treat it well. Id have rather the series ended with a proper conclusion ala Universe than a boring endless parade of family trees and exposition
If you want it end then you have the TV series. There, your wish is granted. The rest of us have the OVA universe.
>>151168758
You're not really arguing the point though. Yeah it's there, but my point is that it's not good. It's just the author masturbating for his own sake now
>>151168603
AIC went outta business due to poor decision making, Kajishimas being the forefront of this problem. The president of the company had a blind fixation on him, dunno why but he was at his beck and call.
Again I don't hate him I still liked OVA 2, it's cool that he's kept Tenchi up and running with his doujins/novels and he can clearly make good stuff when he gives a shit. The problem here is that it feels like he doesn't give a shit with the main Tenchi story. Seems like he wants to end it ASAP imo.
>>151168563
OVA 3 was not the great.
But it's bad, really, really bad for those who never read the extra material outside of the anime.
It was a complete mind fuck watching it a long time ago when I was younger, and I pretty much gave up on the Tenchi franchise afterwards.
I came around and watched it after finally reading some novels and manga, and grew a somewhat better opinion on it.
Again, not that great, but actually understanding most of the plot points helped a lot.
>>151168732
>>151168758
I wish it would be more like OVA 1. That is why the manga will probably always be my favorite AU but I like the extended universe that is building.
Kaji needs help with battles and conflict. He is amazing at writting complex social situations and lore. I'd love to see Tenchi go to Jurai and a rebellion or something fucking crazy happen.
I think Kaji looks at it this way. Kami tenchi is all powerful so what can challenge him and the 3 goddesses?
The extended universe gave us War on Geminar. Pretty good shit.
>>151168882
The two biggest things that helped me with my enjoyment of OVA 3. I finally watched GXP with low expectations (actually found some enjoyment.) and watched it subbed. Seriously that Ryoko dub va makes me want to fucking punch myself in the face.
>>151168899
>The extended universe gave us War on Geminar. Pretty good shit.
And Geminar is the reason why I don't undertstand all the complaints about Kajishima. Geminar was great, so clearly he isn't actually the Satan the TV Kyone fans claim he is.
>>151168899
Yeah OVA 1 where he had people helping him is probably the height of the franchise
All the elements came into play to create and exciting adventure. The characters all had a chance to shine and endear themselves, there was an exciting climax and it's something I rewatch often.
But OVA 2 was largely just farting around. There where some nice bits like getting into Washu's head I liked the Jurai stuff but it was too much nothing. The characters all became jokes "HUR DUR they can't take care of a baby" and it just became tiring. Not to mention Clay was an awful villain to follow Kagato with.
Shit just stopped making sense, it stopped being exciting and it stopped being fun.
>>151169068
Right. I loved War on Geminar. Kenshi being so attached to the girls is amazing.
I think people see "Tenchi Muyo- War on Geminar" This shit isn't Tenchi. "Tenchi Muyo- GXP" This isn't Tenchi. I think the labeling hurts it.
>>151169139
>I think people see "Tenchi Muyo- War on Geminar" This shit isn't Tenchi. "Tenchi Muyo- GXP" This isn't Tenchi. I think the labeling hurts it.
Actually, I see it as the reverse. Back when it is Saint Knight's story, it was completely missed by the Japanese fandom. It was "the best show no one watched". In the West to actually label it as a Tenchi Muyo show is at least a way to promote the damn thing so people would give it a chance.
>>151169113
I don't know man. I love episode 7 (which was Kaji's lovesong) and episode 9.
So, was Noike hated as much as Sakuya when she showed up?
I remember the absolute butt hurt that Tenchi in Tokyo brought with that little addition.
>>151169000
>Seriously that Ryoko dub va makes me want to fucking punch myself in the face.
>Patrea Burchard will never come back
>They replaced her with Mona fucking Marshall doing the fucking Izzy voice
Why did they think this was okay? Im a huge dub fag and this was an outrage.
>>151169227
It's been 10 years and people still aren't over the fact she joined the harm.
People still hate her.
... so yeah.
>>151169227
Tough call. I think the Sakuya stuff is more easily overlooked just as part of being lumped in with tokyo's overall shittyness. But I bet a lot of toonami watchers didn't even catch OVA3 too so it's tough to say. For however much Sakuya sucked it's not like she was introduced as part of one of the series people liked. So I can't really be too mad.
Noike though? Well we hated how long to see our girls again and what do we get? Keiji's new waifu donut steel.
>>151168899
You've pretty much hit the point there. In all of these spin-off continuities by Negishi/Hasegawa/Okuda they all feature the gang doing all sorts of varied shit, mixing the slice-of-life with some space opera, hitting that perfect balance.
War on Geminar just proves that he can still do some cool shit when he wants.
>>151169068
>Geminar was great, so clearly he isn't actually the Satan the TV Kyone fans claim he is
Meh that just those guys. I hate how the fanbase is split into two extremes, back then all we bitched about was Tenchi in Tokyo.
>>151169345
Also Sakuya isn't cannon. She is way easier to blow off. Just like Ai Tenchi.. It isn't cannon so whatever.
>>151169395
>>151169204
After getting married, these two fuck each other when Tenchi isn't around don't they?
>>151169471
check that shit.
>>151168506
I hope so. He is to busy farming carrots and fucking his cat to treat them right.
>>151169393
>That time when the gang ran a hostess club out the back of a space ship while on the lamb
>Or the time they investigated a ghost ship
>Or entered a space bikini contest
They mentioned Seina quite a bit in this epsisode, what were they talking about?
>>151169393
>Meh that just those guys. I hate how the fanbase is split into two extremes, back then all we bitched about was Tenchi in Tokyo.
As I already said, it is extremely unhelpful to attack Kajishima. As this point Kajishima isn't holding the franchise back, he is the only one who still believe the world is worth maintaining. It isn't a George Lucas situation, Kajishima is doing everything he can to get an anime together. And he is basically doing it alone.
>>151169703
Oh piss off, The story he wrote is shit. It doesn't matter if he's the only one keeping it alive because what he's writing it isn't good.
And as much as I respect the lengths he's going to get shit made it doesn't exempt him from criticism
Id rather have no tenchi than bad tenchi.
>>151169670
>They mentioned Seina quite a bit in this epsisode, what were they talking about?
They were explaining that he is being kept busy. And that his luck manipulation meant he was earning so many bounties by accident, that his net income for the year was the size of a small nation's GDP. And that it was decided that most of his money is kept safe by Kiriko and that he would only know about 10% of his real earnings.

Then get off this thread. If you don't want Kajishima then you get nothing. That's the reality of the situation. We still believe in him because Geminar was good. If you don't like Geminar then we have nothing to say to each other.
>>151169802
What was sexy Mikami and Tenchi's sister talking bout bouncing those boobies everywhere?
>>151169802
Ha, that's great. Man GXP needs a redo without Nabeshin in the worst kind of way.
>>151169571
More talk about the girls fucking eachother.
>>151169802
Less infighting yes?
Tenchi fandom has sadly always had this problem. Remember when everyone disliked either Ryoko or Ayeka.
>>151169834
>We still believe in him because Geminar was good
And OVA3 was a pack of shit. Also he's an adult in Japan who doesn't need you to defend him from my scathing attacks.
If you're gonna cry like a bitch every time someone calls out your shit on fucking 4chan then you're the one who's better off leaving.

Geminar came after OVA3.
Frankly you can attack all you want, but I find it silly that you would bother. If you would rather that Tenchi stopped being made, then just do what normal people do and pretend newer episodes don't exist.
>>151169969
Before people accepted the Harem ending.
>>151170023
I still don't really go in for the harem end. Hell I was happier with the Ryoko wins end of Universe and Im a gigantic Ayeka fag
>>151168459
>>151168506
You guys think he marries them all at once like Seina in GXP or he does it piece meal in small groups or one by one.
>>151154591
>Free will is an illusion
No shit, she did fuck over some alien's life for an experiment.
>>151170268
Meh. I prefer Tenchi marry just Ayeka and Ryoko. It gets complicated with the family ties after that..
If Washu and Tenchi have a child then Ryoko's child is both sister and neice to them. So on...
Kaji loves his incest.
Pretty much they are a family and if that means Tenchi has to bone them all to keep them together is just going to suck it up.
>>151170023
I like how he takes this route with all his harem thus far. Apparently this is a big deal because other harems settle on one person. Sure, I like Ryoko the most but all the other girls are pretty cool too, hard not to like them due to their character and past.
If there's one cool thing about the main continuity is that the girls all have a history within the lore. I wouldn't of known that Mihoshi was some hyper-competent Judge Dredd kind of cop with crazy luck and formidable skill if I didn't do my research. She was also very serious back then too, not silly and laid back like she is now.
>>151170329
You talking about War on Geminar?
I am pretty sure that was Tokimi.
>>151170378
And to be honest I never really felt there was anything really "romantic" with Mihoshi. I like her and I know here fans want her to be relevant but compared to the "main" two there's just nothing really substantial there. As far as the harem is concerned she's really just there to be there.
>>151170615
She loves him for sure.
I think basically her being there is connecting Washu to her lineage (Mihoshi being her decendent.) She also keeps the Kuramitsu's in line. Hopefully creating "galactic political peace" Also he probably feels sorry for her... the incident which changed her for the worse was probably due to Tokimi's meddling trying to find a higher power. (explains why those two are so close in the new ova)
When you look at Kami Tenchi's reasons to bringing everyone together it isn't for love. It is for peace. He is a god.
>>151170532
I think he means Z, which is still Tokimi.
>>151168506
Wait was this in the Okuda manga? I don't remember this scene at all.
>>151170329
>No shit, she did fuck over some alien's life for an experiment.
I know Washu had two girls before Ryoko and she got them killed in some accident. But what are you talking about with this?
>>151170702
>She loves him for sure.
look Im not doubting that but it seems like her lineage overshadows her actual character and her relationship with Tenchi never got explored as much as Ayeka's and Ryoko's. Honestly I can't really think of many if any moments between the two. He saved her once and that's kind of it.
>>151170715
That is from some AIC thing they did. It isn't cannon but it was put out way before IF so maybe it reflects Kaji's vision. IDK. Pretty sure it isn't cannon.
>>151170799
He rescues her. He asks her to come back to the house hold (never does that with the other girls.) and then goes to rescue her when she crashes into clays ship he goes to save her- then uses the light hawk wings to save her and ayeka. Basically she gets over shadowed because she is aloof and is over powered by the other two.
I know what you mean but from Mihoshi's perspective he is her dream guy. And Tenchi is a god-like figure who pulled all these women to him subconsciously for his own reasons.
>>151170940
Jesus Christ, Mihoshi. THe fuck is wrong with your everything
>>151170803
Foreshadowing as fuck.
>>151171250
Yep it is super old.
People get shitty when I say I think Ryoko loved Ayeka since before she met Tenchi. But them novels. I think she just has the emotions of a elementary schooler.
Ayeka not so much.
>>151171321
Of course she loves Tenchi. But when dude is about to marry 8 women... lets not criticize her.
>>151171321
What you say has merit. Ryoko is just max chill, always was and by that point in the panel she knows they've both won so there's no need to fight anymore.
I think Ayeka likes to fight for the sake of fighting, letting herself cut loose on something which just happens to be Ryoko. She tried to make amends in OVA 1 but Ayeka wasn't having any of it.
>>151171582
I think the change in Ayeka's relationship with her is the battle with Kagato where Ryoko definitely shows she cares about Ayeka in some way. Holding back her full strength and keeping her safe during the fight.
>She tried to make amends in OVA 1 but Ayeka wasn't having any of it.
In that scene she tells Ayeka she teases Tenchi because she loves him. Sounds familar. I think its a pull your hair cause I like you kind of thing because Ryoko is so emotionally behind.
Ayeka is way harder to read because of her upbringing. She obviously cares about Ryoko by episode 11. She knows Zero is not Ryoko and says she can't leave her. So at least they are friends in some way.
In this latest episode I love that they are still "arguing" because obviously that is just part of their dynamic and they enjoy it. Its like an old married couple.
>>151171582
In one instance of the manga (I think it was the manga) Ayeka makes an aside comment about how she's willing to save Ryoko because she'd need someone to argue with.
The manga does a lot to show them on far more amicable terms than pretty much any other entry
>>151169943
>>151169782
you're no different from that guy who shitposts on Shinmai /e/ threads, nobody wants your shit in here to mess up a good thread, haul your ass back to wherever fandom you came from
>>151171842
That manga relationship is really beautiful (but sadly not cannon.) Most of the manga can be described as Ayeka being kidnapped, Ryoko trying to save her and failing... Tenchi saves the day.
>>151171983
>(but sadly not cannon.)
Not OVA cannon. I don't like writing the others off because they're AU. Though I read a lot of American comics so alternate cannons is really typical for me
>>151171742
>>151171842
Despite all these arguments they end up having or how serious they wanna pummel each others faces in, we all know what happens at the end of the day. That level of aggression gets channeled in some way.
>>151172132
Right. I am rewatching Universe now and I reread the manga awhile before OVA 4 vol 1 was released.
I love the manga so much. It has all the action I wish was in OVA 3+ and the bonding between the girls. It does get a little campy though. Plus like Universe Tenchi has a tendency to favor Ryoko.
>>151172259
What the hell is Okuda up to nowadays anyway? After he finished up the manga, he ceased to exist at that point. I figured he'd move on to different projects.
>>151171742
>>151172202
I always proffered Ayeka over Ryoko when it comes to Tenchi, and in the case of Ayeka x Ryoko, I too feel the same. It's definitely because of the way Ayeka is raised. Ryoko is Ryoko so being aggressive and rumbustious is natural for her. However, for Ayeka it's usually not expected since she's a proper Hime and well-raised ojou with mannerism engraved into her, but she can be quite as childish and combative as Ryoko, and that makes her more endearing to me.
>>151172259
I really liked the inclusion of Minage and it's villains where great. Yakage was great as sort of an anti-kagato
>>151172359
He does special event art (for upcoming holidays) for the Tenchi website often. I don't know what else he is doing.
>>151172382
Well something it never really spells out that Ive seen is you have to take her upbringing into consideration
as a princess she was no doubt surrounded by sycophants and people who treat her based on her position. Ryoko and the Tenchi house though don't. They put her as a person first and in Ryoko's case that means not being afraid to get on her tits. Ryoko was probably the first person she was ever truly able to spat with
>>151172382
Is she really hime tho?
I think she is way more Oujo-sama.
>>151170773
>Didn't the author state that eventually Tenchi grows older and starts looking like Yosho and moving to Planet Jurai?
A REALLY long time after. Like, way past any chance of us watching it animated.
>>151172463
she's a bit of both
early on she's straight hime 100 percent. but once she starts to unwind and let loose
>>151172382
>>151172445
>>151172463
Goddamn this is deep.One of you guys ever read any of the Hasegawa novels? The first story has her doing some crazy shit.
>>151172407
Manga had a good roster of villains. Some were brutal ass holes to guys whose goals coincided with the crew, like the guy you mentioned, definitely an 'anti-villain' if you wanna use that word. Sometimes they ended up befriending the cast as well.
>>151172463
Both. Hime as a princess with all the bells and whistles and ojou due to how she is raised and being the eldest daughter within the immediate family of a powerful house with great influence.
>>151172445
It helps that there are very few females that can even touch her. If they somehow get past the guardians, that is.
>>151172659
Pretty much.
>>151172680
man who at cartoon network saw this show and thought "Mmm let's put it on a kids network"
I mean the TV series are cleaned up enough from the get go to where they could air without much editing but holy fuck the OVA
>>151172801
lmao those bathing suits.
>>151172680
I love it when Ryoko acts like a crude, carefree fuck.
>>151172838
In a way they where almost lewder
>>151172949
SO do I.
I want her character to grow and grow up a little...
But if she doesn't try to get freaky with Tenchi once or twice I'll be disappointed.

These are funny, I filled up a thread not too long with a buncha those screens. So go ahead and have this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdemSfJRnXk
Seeing as how the original opening just completely vanished from the face of Youtube. I just wanted to see it again in Blu-Ray quality.
>I want her character to grow and grow up a little...
She loses a lot of the spunk further down the OVA trackline. Which sucks because her personality was what I loved immensely, all without not sounding too weird.
At least the spin-offs keep it intact, expand upon it a little too.
>>151173231
You know it doesn't have to be that way. Now she just gets beat the fuck up everyday. Fish thrown in her face and dumb shit.
Look at Seto and Misaki.. They are motherly charaters that still have their spunk but I feel like for the Tenchi girls Kaji is matronizing them if that makes sense. Just trying to make them wives and mothers essentially. And making the house seem to work in harmony.
Whatever. I think there is a middle ground but I will withhold judgement until this new OVA is over.I know it isn't really fair to criticize yet. But in OVA I had a big problem with the way Ryoko's character was treated like slapstick.
>>151173357
I don't want to get into a whole "thing" but I think Kaj may be projecting a lot in the OVA
>>151173357
>Look at Seto and Misaki.. They are motherly charaters that still have their spunk but I feel like for the Tenchi girls Kaji is matronizing them if that makes sense. Just trying to make them wives and mothers essentially. And making the house seem to work in harmony.
He makes them bad-ass within the confines of the lore, sticks with it. And as far as this whole mother training thing for the harem, I guess it works and makes sense as everybody is growing older in the household.
>Whatever. I think there is a middle ground but I will withhold judgement until this new OVA is over.I know it isn't really fair to criticize yet.
From what I've heard it's starting off quite tame, by the end of it you can tell Tenchi is going to be in for some shit of a different caliber. I think Kaji is being kept on a tighter leash this time around so the story might be more coherent all in all.
>But in OVA I had a big problem with the way Ryoko's character was treated like slapstick.
This is what bothers me the most, thought. When reading into Ryoko's past, seeing all the feats she's accomplished as a ruthless, murder-machine space pirate and knowing the endgame result from her utilizing the three gems leaves me a little disappointed with how she is now in conjecture with everything prior. She even mentions missing the days she opposed the Jurian empire to Ayeka. Talk about too much downtime.
>>151173563
I just don't necessarily like all that drugs sex and rock n roll he felt was important enough to bring into it. Im not being a pussy or one of them purity fag but it just doesn't really ADD anything to the story and honestly neither does a lot of the weirder stuff he likes to add.
I think we could have gone the whole franchise without knowing Kagato had a vagina
>>151173793

Meh it's just part of the character's past is why I brought it up. Which probably leads to the idea behind her infatuation with Tenchi, leaving all bad shit behind, breaking away from it all to start a new life with him.
>I think we could have gone the whole franchise without knowing Kagato had a vagina
Yeah that was fucking stupid; ruins him in a way.
>>151174214
I don't think we really need to spell out the fact that she used to do a lot of bad shit is all. I mean we saw her attack Jurai and be used as Kagato's slave, that's really enough
One last bump before bed. I know this thread won't be up tomorrow, but it don't hurt to try.
Maybe next time we'll have the episode subbed so there's some shit to discuss.
>>151175053
well that really depends on how much actually happens in the episode.
>>151169240
I recall interviews with Patricia where she said they "just couldn't make it work." I'm inclined to think it was union-related.

Yup. I think it is meant to show that she can hurt people but choose not to. (Except for people like Tenchi or Washu.) But it is WAY overdone and not that funny.
I love Washu but she needs to chill on the Ryoko abuse. Hasnt this girl been through enough.
>>151173793
I like it. If you craved some sort of emotional response but couldn't feel for hundreds of years you would try anything.
I like that it was Ayeka being a spoiled bratty teenagerwhich fires up Ryoko's emotions.
>>151173563
>She even mentions missing the days she opposed the Jurian empire to Ayeka.
Like most things Ryoko says to Ayeka... She is probably just trying to get a rise out of her.
I dont see a sub for ova 4 or 3. Is it dead?
>>151178205
There is no sub for OVA 4 yet.
>>151173793
It isn't that bizarre when you consider Kagato was originally cloned from a female and the Kagato in OVA1 was just a male Ryoko prototype being possessed by a fragment of Kagato's soul. But, yeah, it is really fucking weird when the audience is never provided this context in the anime.
tenchi is such a faggot i hate his guts
>>151179997
>tenchi is such a faggot i hate his guts
In what way? Because he married his wives and have children with them?
>>151178148
Note that in this pic, we see that Ryoko is blatantly wearing Tenchi's name on her jacket, in a formal occasion no less. This is from GXP so it is something that had already happened. This undoubtedly only occurred because she already secured her future position as Head Wife.
Sure, it is a pity that it happened offsceen. But most likely Ryoko just kept bugging Tenchi until he relented. So it's not like we could have gotten an episode out of it.

Your mistake is thinking that remotely matters. Tenchi Muyo is not Shonen Jump, there is no power level battles. Tenchi Muyo is about relationships between people. This is why the most powerful person in the world isn't a god, but a politician.
>>151181310
>Tenchi Muyo is about relationships between people.
relationships founded entirely on an attraction due to tenchi being the choosen one
>>151181338

You are assuming Tenchi's harem is getting any bigger. Tenchi had already started to drawn in his horns and plan for a married life. This isn't like those light novels where it is all about one guy. His name might be on the cover but other people are taking the spotlight now.
>>151181338
Where in the fuck do you see any of the girls thinking "He's the chosen one" before "I like this person".
>>151179997
People forget he is a japanese teenager when the girla meet him. All of them much physically older aside from Sasami and Ryo-ohki. Mentally Ayeka is closest in age and both are repressed as all hell. I think culturally it is expected for him to behave the way he does.
>>151181338
>>151181310
Both right. Tenchi, as a god subconciously pulls these women to him to create galactic peace and subdue the goddesses. Tenchi as a boy falls in love with them.
>>151181458
"he reminds me of yosho so i'm going to stalk him" is more like it

It only needs Ryoko, Washu, Mihoshi, Sasami, and Ayeka.

Tenchi is old news, plain and simple. There's a hardcore of nostalgiafags who keep reposting the same images over and over on the occasional threads, but the actual following has long since died off. It's not as big as a 500-post 4chan thread might suggest.
OVA 4 episode 1 was a whole lot of nothing happens. Again.

SoL is better than a recap, and there's still the rest of the season.
>>151183475

The episode is basically re-introducing practically EVERYONE. Remember that the last time they made a new OVA episode, they had laserdiscs.
>>151169703
Hmmm, Tenchi in Tokyo you say? I wouldn't know what that is since it's something that NEVER FUCKING HAPPENED. Even if it had (theoretically) an episode where Ryoko and Tenchi go on a super cute date.
>>151184142
Seriously War on Geminar makes up for tokyo and ai in spades.
>>151169895
I had always pictured a GXP story with more of a focus on Mihoshi evolving from the joke of the department and a liability to anyone who works with her into becoming the hero that saves the day and solves the big case, even if she always seems to "accidentally" stumble into winning or luck out somehow in solving the case. Mostly, I see the stories ending by having events that were set in motion throughout the episode coming back together in the end to form of chain reaction that foils the bad guy and makes Mihoshi look like a top cop in the process. The intrigue of course being that nobody is smart enough to be able to plan and execute such synchronistic events from such seemingly random and disparate items and occurrences, especially not somebody as seemingly stupid as Mihoshi. However, Kiyone always believes in her and always stays by her side, and that's why she's able to get back up and try again after every setback and failure, regardless of what anyone says about her. Mihoshi seems incompetent but does all the hero turns, and Kiyone seems like a talented cop held back by a lack-luster partner who is really support that enables Mihoshi to blossom into butterfly of kismet and good karma that she is in my story, and in doing so saves GXP and is more than just the chief's daughter who got into the GXP through nepotism, she proves she really belongs in the uniform and on the space-beat.
Whaddaya think? Would that do as a focus for your GXP reboot?
>>151184413
War on Geminar was okay (I was the only person on /a/ who watched it when it was playing in Japan), but I didn't like the back rub gimmick and they didn't sell Kenshi's dick allure well enough for me. I love that the cute Princess turned out to be money hungry and scheming while the Dark Elf chick was easily the best grill in the whole harem.
>>151184490
it would have been better:
1. with no connection to tenchi
2. no stupid flying evangelion robots
3. the cast of females reduced dramatically
>>151184426
The real stort is the reverse. She is an amazing 2nd class detective with Noike and then some incident happens (rumors are she blew her brains out somehow) and then her "good luck" ensures she surives while the collateral damage is to much to handle.
The GXP novels seem like the are taking the story in the right dirrection. I like kiriko and the others but the dirrector of the anime was a real d bag and changed way to much.
>>151184490
I like Aura but Whanley was best.
>>151183010
like Galaxy Angel, Patlabor, Urusei Yatsura, and Lucky Star fags have all come to terms with, but we still get to enjoy our threads when they pop up from time to time.

>>151184490
>while the Dark Elf chick was easily the best grill in the whole harem
My nigga
>>151184608
i liked Kenshi's harem quite a bit, but Yukine and Aura were my favorites.
>>151184548
Do you remember how Mihoshi was able to just walk into Washu's lab when nobody was supposed to be able to find the door? Or how her messing with the machine's controls created the conditions that ultimately provided the basis for the Tenchi in Time arc? If one took a more literal interpretation of the events, they could say that Mihoshi was accessing some sort of latent power that she has yet to harness or even recognize the existence of within herself.
The real story sound interesting, but I think with Mihoshi's character as a main character, light hearted tales would fair better than a gritty realistic story with dead cops and SUFFERING like a meguca.
>>151184608
But Flora.
>>151184538
No way. The connection with Tenchi's household was great...
>>151184908
good taste
>>151184861
Right. If you read the novels her great great great grandfather (Washu's husband-father of her son.) met Washu by doing the same thing. He stumbled into an area where she had a forcefield. She inherited this but also whatever she gained from being related to Washu. She was amazing (still is) but people around her are constantly put in danger so she gets shit on by her friends.
She is a great character with great lore.
Thoughts on the new girl?
Okay, what do you fag-a-muffins think of Space Ship Agga Ruter?
>>151186292
Minaho?
It's almost eerie how she looks almost exactly like her grandmother.
>>151187583
That worries me a bit. When Tenchi first saw Funaho he was like... "wow she is fine" before he knew who she was.
She better not join the group. If she does I'll probably wash my hands of this.

I don't think you're really getting my point. Even with context none of this is really important and is just weird ass backstory fluff because Kaji is a lunatic
>>151185073
Great lore doesn't make a great character especially when said lore never amounts to shit.
>>151190556
I agree. Kagato shit in OVA 3 was dumb as fuck.
>>151190831
I disagree the true tenchi novels are good and add a lot to the story. Especially with Washu, Yosho, Seto and Azusa. If you havent read them then you probably didnt enjoy ova 3 at all. Japan did. Japan liked it. That is why we get more Tenchi.
>>151186534
It was hilarious and at points completely forgets it was supposed to be a hentai. They just threw in sex scenes to fill that fuck quota.

>If one took a more literal interpretation of the events, they could say that Mihoshi was accessing some sort of latent power that she has yet to harness or even recognize the existence of within herself.
Funny enough the manga actually does this. Through some Mihoshi silliness, her and Washu become fused together, creating an all new person. Utilizing Washu's mass intellect and Mihoshi's capability of rendering causality time and effect, she became unstoppable.
>>151193248

Well they do. That is what you see in OVA 3.
I get what you are saying. Tenchi Muyo is lacking action (i totally agree with that.) but this pretty much the start of the happily ever after for the Tenchi family. It is not going to be what OVA 1 is.. And that is a shame because the characters are amazing. It is frustrating because they could be doing so much more but Kaji fucked up and revealed Tenchis godhood to early. No he sees him as someone who can not be challanged. Hence... Less fighting more social situations.
I would prefer them move the story along... Head to jurai and deal with a rebellion or some new antagonist but i have curbed my expectations on that. If you dont like slice of life anime.. It probably wont be for you unless you love the characters and want to see them grow.

Fuck.

I'm the translator of the gxp novels. im the one who proposed this theory its just a theory. this ova seems to takeplace before seina visits earth again. after enlisting. and there is a whole story of shank trying to kidinap his parents and tenchi fighing him that is mentioned but not shown or elaborated on
>>151195281
>>151195523
Ahhhh, I recognize you. You're the dude that's gone crazy with the translator gizmo, right? I think you have an account onUselessTenchi.
Not trying to sound weird just a little curious.
>>151195123
>Tenchi Muyo is lacking action
Dude I don't even want action I want anything. Literally nothing fucking happens. Nothing personal, nothing emotional, nothing engaging of any sort. We don't even get any real social situations.
Have we even seen outside the Masaki house into the city in the OVA verse at all? We got a bit of Tenchi's school and a fly by in episode 1 but from there the most we'll get is the carrot farm.
Have the girls go take part time jobs to help out, Have Sasami go to school. DO SOMETHING. It doesn't have to be an epic space battle but give me something.
>>151196357
Too early to say with OVA 4 even though there's a high likelihood nothing will happen, we just gotta see first before jumping the gun.

Welp, what a productive thread and now that the raws are out we might get subs in the near future. Good Tenchi thread overall.Aaaand there goes the image limit.

I want to get into this series
Where do I start?
>>151202137
the first ova is great
the second is ok
the third stinks
the tv series tenchi universe is a watered down version of ova but is pretty good
3 movies follow universe
the first and 3rd movies are great
the second is hilariously bad
everything else is either tangentially related or hot garbage
>>151202137
There's a buncha of these guides littered around the place. Just start in beginning, OVA 1, work your way through that continuity. Afterwards it's up you to figure out which divergent path you wanna take next.
>>151202187
I would try to watch GXP before OVA 3.
OVA 1 is heaven. So good it has spun a shit tone of AUs. I like Universe, i like all 3 movies, the manga, and war on geminar.
It is all on youtube dubbed (and hulu) but I would watch it subbed. Especially OVA 3.
>>151202403
Here's another one; ribbed for your pleasure.
>>151202137
The canon stuff is the OVAs; GXP, which is superseded by the novels; Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari; and tangentially Dual! Parallel Crisis Adventure and a few other things I haven't seen.
Also canon is the doujinshi that the creator, Masaki Kajishima writes.
Universe and the movies are noncanon, but good.
Tokyo, Ai TM, and Pretty Sammy are garbage.
>>151202403
Are they are missing daughter of darkness!?
Its a fucking christmas movie too.
Tenchi Muyo is a fucking generic harem anime by 2016 standards.
>>151202783
>tsundere
>childhood friend
>singular final choice
All absent.
>>151202636
Probably because it's an oddity out of the group.
Completely new continuity separate from Negishi's, 6th or 7th book within' her series, made as a standalone thing. Doesn't make sense to me, they could've just started with the first book and go down the line.
>>151203058
Really it isnt so out of place that you would notice anything out of the universe timeline..not that it is but none of it is cannon anyway.
Poor Kiyone.
>>151203180
>Poor Kiyone
I heard that Kaji wanted to use Kiyone in his stuff (even drew her) but couldn't because of rights.
Regardless she gets a lot of screentime within' those illusive books, detailed background and everything.
>>151195123
>It is frustrating because they could be doing so much more but Kaji fucked up and revealed Tenchis godhood to early. No he sees him as someone who can not be challanged. Hence... Less fighting more social situations.
The frustrating thing is less that Tenchi was revealed to be OP and more that there is almost 0 conflict anyway. Just because Tenchi has at-will laser swords that slice through anything doesn't mean that the girls can't have conflict, or that some schmuck can't cause havoc and Tenchi has to solve it without shattering the universe with his power. By far the most disappointing thing about OVA 3 was that when the girls were targeted for kidnapping, the only one who actually got an animated fight was Sasami.
I mean Isekai was fine, and Kenshi was totally OP through that whole thing as well. It was the type of thing I wish we could get out of Tenchi, in as much as you've got conflict between girls and conflict with external forces.
Is Tenchi the pinnacle of harem anime?
>>151202187
>the tv series tenchi universe is a watered down version of ova but is pretty good
Honestly, Universe blows the OVA away at this point if only because shit actually happens and concludes.
>>151204345
No. It is a classic that defined the genre.
>>151204474
tenchi is like the simpsons in a way
both started out great
but now have more crap episodes than good
ova3 definitely tippedthe scales in universes favor
>>151204474
No way. It is juvinille in comparrison to the OVA. The characters lack depth. Tenchi chooses between the girls which is great for shippers but uncharacteristic. When I was younger I loved it but its like one was made for children and one for adults.
>>151204474
>>151204565
>We'll never get one last adventure in the Universe continuity
Negishi tried his best, but even his best wasn't good enough to redeem the concept that was Ai.
He just need one more legit shot at a Tenchi show, after that I can die happily sink or swim.
>>151204795
i think bakamonogatari is a pretty good spiritual successor
>>151204795
Meh.
Ai was always going to be shit. That concept art though was just so hot. I see where people are coming from when they say they sexualized Sasami, Ayeka and Washu to much. Ryoko and Mihoshi were on point. That leg tat on Ayeka was out of character but I don't give af.
I am only excited for OVA 4 because War on Geminar redeemed Kajishima for me. OVA 3 let me down big time but I found enjoyment in it.
>>151154591
Man I feel old. I feel REALY old now.
>>151204993
As I said before, the idea and conceptualization of it seemed waaaaay off to me. What's more aggravating is the idea of it not being treated seriously. They go through the trouble of hiring Negishi for something that anyone could've shit out, no thought needed. We could of had something more substantial in place of what this was, probably would've done better too, paving the way for OVA 4.
Alright last bump from me. Imma let it die out,see you later.
I want to rewatch Tenchi after so many years, can someone recommend what to watch and what to skip?
>>151208449
Well I dunno man. Watch the OVA till you can't stand it anymore
Then go Universe and it's movies
Avoid Tokyo and Ai. Or don't I don't care.
Read the manga
>>151208646
ty anon.
Wav viz release of manga censored ?
>>151208720
Not that Ive noticed
>>151202783
you ghetto trash go home
>>151155872
it just says that a mangaka might or is gonna make ova 4 a manga
>>151208856
is it Okuda? Because if it's not then fuck it
>>151204993
Oh god that is horrible. Everything wrong is there.
>>151208856
Has Kajishima ever done legit mangas and not doujins? I wonder how that would work out if he decided to make Tenchi a weekly manga kinda thing.
>>151208973
I fucking love the architecture in this series.
Like the way they build around the trees.
But this plan made me realize something so sad.
When Mihoshi wrecked the first house, she destroyed Nobuyuki's library of shoujo manga too.
>>151208934
Yes it says "Mangaka Hitoshi Okuda will pick up drawing it!?"
>>151208896
What the fuck is Kiyone and Mihoshi wearing?
>>151209676
>New Tenchi manga by Okuda
Please let this be true.
>>151209827
Looks like a Gatchaman parody.
>>151209498
Kill Mihoshi.
>>151210800
>Kill Mihoshi.
That's beyond even Ryoko's power.
>>151204345
Tenchi is pretty much the only true harem anime that anyone remembers. By true harem I mean all girls win the Tenchi Bowl in stead of having one winner.
>>151211114
>By true harem I mean all girls win the Tenchi Bowl in stead of having one winner.
Everyone shits the bed with this. Apparently harem end is kind of a big deal.
>>151209827
Moldiver.
>>151211296
I hate it. I hate that people also still classify them as harems when they're not.
>>151211382
>Look this up
>See David Hayter, Bryan Cranston and Mimi Woods for the dub
What the fuck?
>>151208867
AIC, masters of alt universe bastardizations. "Hey, how about we continue the main story?" "Lolno, let's make yet another alternative universe spin off with flanderized characters!"
>>151211536
>Bryan Cranston
he was in Macross Plus too
>>151208867
Is that Rune Venus in there?
>>151208896
For shame. Should have included Phantom Quest Corp as well. How can they include Moldiver, but not a lipstick lightsaber wielding cutey christmas cake redhead?
>>151213231
Yes, the worse version.
>>151212482
And Armitage III along with Keifer Sutherland.
>>151213345
>the worse version
Damn. I just started watching The Wanderers. Is it at least better than The Alternative World?
>>151213391
I couldn't stand any of El Hazard. Mikoto is a terrible character and the show should have followed the teacher instead of him.
I sat through all the episodes of the wanderers waiting for it to get good but it never did. I then started Alternate but dropped it on the 3rd episode where they tell some suspicious guy about exactly who they are.
It's also another show that is tagged as a harem but is actually not.
>>151213577
Take that back jerk the El HazardOVA was and is still very good.
Can't speak for the rest though. Good series tend to die at the harem stage.
>>151213391
It's kinda like what Tenchi Universe is to the OAV. Kinda same setup, but which some radically changed characters. Rune Venus was changed from christmas cake oneesan to that teenage version and Ifurita was basically turned into a different (lobotomized) character. Would have been more interesting if they had kept Rune Venus as she was and then still set her up as the romantic interest.
I'd still say it's a better watch than Alternative World, but that's mainly because the El-Hazard sequels to the great first OAV series are rather bad.
>>151214760
>Ifurita was basically turned into a different (lobotomized) character
Well shit. Ifurita was the best part of El-Hazard.
What's the deal with Future Tenchi or something the westaboos fanbase called Kami Tenchi?
>>151216907
literally kagashima's self insertion point
tenchi is an avatar of kagashima
and kagashima is the world's god
the series will end with washu bursting out of the 2D anime verse and raping kagashima to death
