Tenchi Muyo!

Thanks for the heads up. I was surprised to see just now, that ep2 raws are out in force this time, after the first episode took forever to turn up in any form. Looking forward to the subbed ep.

Don't really care for more Pretty Sammy. It was cute back when it forst came out, but now I don't really give many fucks about yet more spinoffs with Tenchi characters, unless it turns out absolutely amazing by some freak accident.

>OVA4
OVA as in more Ryo-Ohki continuity? Or some other new continuity?
Did they fix Ryoko's design?
I'm not sure I can suffer more of that mess they made of her in Ai.

>>153973402
In the middle of watching it now. Not sure what to expect.

Main continuity, everyone looks as they should.
Tenchi's aunt is visiting for Nobuyuki's wedding, Ryoko and Ayeka aren't fighting like cats, and Tokimi hangs out with Mihoshi.

Also, this happens in episode 2.

I'm honestly surprised we're even getting a Pretty Sammy show. AIC must've rebuilt their faith in the Tenchi franchise for us to be getting something as random as this. Maybe it'll open the doorway for more spin-offs? Who knows?

The updated art style wasn't as off-putting as I expected it to be. Jived quite well actually.

I still miss Kajishima's retro art style.

>>153974242
It's there. Not gonna touch it though. Been patient for fucking ever waiting on something like OVA 4, it's not going to kill me waiting for subs though.

>>153974184
I'd be open to more proper spinoffs, like Isekai, Dual or GXP (oh please, do a remake of that one). I'm not so hot on AIC repeating the same shit scheme that drove the franchise into the ground all those years back, by releasing completely unrelated alternate versions, that just happen to have the same character designs and basic character relations. AIC can't be aching so hard, that they can't afford a character designer. At least go hunt in other series as well, like Moldiver or Phantom Quest Corp.

>>153974489
Honestly, the only way they'll get me to watch Pretty Sammy is if they make it a mecha with little girls like Nanoha, or if they go the route of Prisma Illya.

Yeah, but we already had Ryo-Ohki as a Gundam.

With sub group numbers having dropped like flies over the past six plus years it's only to be expected. This is the price for same-day subs, some stuff just gets left in the dust.

They need more like Photon or El-Hazard or an Isekai season 2. They used to do more like them, but the Tenchi name just sells really well. Case in point, War on Geminar.

I just grabbed a 720p vid and loaded the subs directly, and it works perfectly.

Loved El-Hazard, liked Dual, but I gotta actually watch Photon. I hear it subtly ties in with Geminar.

>>153978689
"Subtly" in even less ways than Dual and GXP did. Some of the names are the same (Lashara) and the concept of aho energy is there, that's about it.

That said, you can marathon it in a night easily, it's hysterical, but prepare for mood whiplash at the beginning of the last episode. It takes a real dramatic turn for half of the ep and then comes back to funny again by the end. It's really weird, like that one half was directed by someone who wasn't aware of the tone of the series until that point.

From what I understand, Isekai pays more of an homage to Photon, by reusing some of its names and terminology, but it doesn't have actual ties to the Tenchi OAV universe.

You should still watch it though, as it is a really fun romp and features one of the best villains of all times.

>>153979001
Papacharino stole that fucking show.

>>153978776
I felt it's pretty much the same story structure Kajishima likes to do in the Tenchi series as well. 4 episodes SoL comedy followed by 2 episodes of shit hitting the fan.

>>153979127
I've noticed something similar, but more half-and-half. Especially Tenchi Universe and Isekai - the first halves are introducing the cast and goofing off, right at the end of the first half or the start of the second one, shit hits the fan and kicks off the grand adventure.

I really should be more excited about the new OVA than I am but the OVA series is just so damn boring. After the first one nothing ever happens.
I really wish the manga stuff would get an adaptation. That was a fun read that actually knew how to balance SOL with space adventures.

The OVAs are just nothing but the writer beating off to how great he thinks his world is.

Ditto. His older artwork for the show and that in his doujins hit a right spot. Especially when the fucker is designing sexy ass lingerie for all the chicks to wear like in here >>153977556.

It's about 60-40 with mostly Tenchi's girls.

Might've been to shove in introductions real quick to get it done with. Because I'm hearing the opposite with the second episode.

>>153979517
I wonder if stuff like this is going to make more people learn Japanese, although if a show ever gets big enough that people are having to go out of their way to try to watch it without subs it will probably get picked up

Well that's part of what my problem is. The main girls (who pretty much built the franchise) have done nothing but either get sidelined or regress as petty squabbling hens ever since the Kagato incident was resolved.

Meanwhile the author does nothing but try to force how great Noike is or how great ___'s third cousin from this other novel is.

The manga meanwhile excels at making the main girls feel like main girls.

If you didn't know about Ryoko's ability to phase through solid materials, she looks like an amputee clinging to Tenchi in this promotional art.

Some things are visible from a mile away.
Minaho is perusing Tenchi on Seto's suggestion, if not her orders. Either Tenchi hooks up with her and that's one more pair made and one less old maid hanging around her, or the girls get spurred into action and Tenchi settles down with them.
Either way, Seto wins.
And we know how this turns out.

Intergalactic peace, and lots and lots of grandchildren.

And since Tenchi refuses to take the throne, there's only one way he can fit into her plans.

I get this impression that he's afraid of doing anything with the main cast of characters. You get an entire sandbox for them to play around in but they spend all their time cooped up in the house. Seina gets all the crazy space antics that I felt should've shared with the Tenchi crew as well.

Either he's burnt out from using them or just wrote himself in a corner with all this godhood nonsense. He only draws short doujins featuring the iconic cast instead of their own line of novels or his spin on their manga.

Honestly I just don't think he was ever that good a writer to start with frankly. OVA1 is what I consider the height of the franchise but there where a lot of people putting input on that one to keep his crazy ass in check and I really think it was these folk who made the series what it was.

Universe ain't without it's share of flaws but it was at least a complete space adventure where shit happened, relationships mattered and the hero grows and completes his task. Even the sillier episodes would have shit happen that was at least interesting to watch. Fuck even Tokyo, shit show that it was was about something.

That's really the biggest problem with the OVA series. It's not about anything. The world is certainly interesting but that doesn't matter if you're not telling a story with it.

Do you think we'll ever get actual Tenchi figures?

>>153990240
??? Every OVA series had things happening.

It probably just feels weird now because we're waiting on the OVA to release again, as the first episode is usually much ado about nothing.

First batch was introductions and Kagato.
Second batch was the Doc and Tokimi foreshadowing.
Third batch was Zero and Tenchi being a literal god (way too much foreshadowing and holes though, which is one of the few legit criticisms of OVA3 that few talk about...)

Fourth batch..........well all we know so far is weddings and Seina refreshing. To be honest I'm wondering if he's not just trying to move some of the novels.

The Doc was shit, the Zero Fusion was Bologna and if all you manage to do in 6 or 7 episodes is less than five minutes of foreshadowing for future episodes than you just wasted everyones time.

>Third batch was Zero and Tenchi being a literal god

For ONE episode.

>>153990507

Seconds Meh, but third is kind of shit. It seems like it was intended to be longer because they scrambled to resolve shit ASAP dropping entire plot threads.

What's more all it really does is add another girl to pine for Makoto, when SPOILER WARNING the romance was resolved in the first OVA.

The Wanderers TV series is kind of dumb and changes a lot of key characters drastically but it's an alright watch by itself

>>153990507
Eh, not really. You might watch it for completion's sake, but I wouldn't expect to be thrilled by it.

The TV series is OK and somewhat entertaining, but it changes the story and some of the characters up a lot--some ways good, some ways not so good.

I agree with what you're saying. OVA 1 felt great when on my first viewing and still continues to be that on this day, Universe continues with that same feeling but only spiritually. It was pretty much when the series was most stable in execution.

I don't hate OVA 2 or Tokyo either.

>That's really the biggest problem with the OVA series. It's not about anything. The world is certainly interesting but that doesn't matter if you're not telling a story with it.

There is stuff going on within' the OVA continuity, is just that it's not involving the main cast. When it does, it's usually kind of haphazardly done (OVA 3). Although OVA 4 doesn't seem do offensive as of now, I don't even think Kajishima is the one solely directing it.

How many episodes will OVA 4 be? I also feel with this many characters the episodes themselves should be longer to give everyone breathing room.

OVA 2 was still clearly going somewhere, and I think it stands fine on its merits despite being a big step down from OVA 1. The real problems start when it takes eight fucking years before the next OVA series comes out, and the thing is a complete clusterfuck because of trying to tie back to all the side content released in between. I'm withholding judgement on OVA 4, but the first episode is certainly threatening that it could end up being a complete mess as well.

Watch at your own peril. OVA 2 is average and 3 is an incomplete mess.
Wanderers is the El-Hazard version of Tenchi Universe, except with far more changes to the characters and an all round lesser experience. Really though, it's all downhill after OVA 1, although considering how good that was it'd be understandable if the rest wasn't so bad.
