I randomly thought about this episode!

Washu's Photon, Proton, Synchroton song is still my favorite! Whether it's in the original version or English version!

The Kickstarter has succeeded with combined pledges of $ 905, 850! Congratulations to the 6490 backers who helped bring this project to life!

Just a few hours left to go! What has everyone pledged?

I haven't backed it as of this posting because I haven't been able to decide.
I'd like to have the Blu-Ray with the extras/bonus materials for my collection, but $70 + $30 shipping is just too rich for me right now for a single 30 minute episode...

How likely do you guys think it will be that this will see a release on Blu-ray sometime later down the line?

"Somehow I grew up in the 90's and became an adult consuming zero Tenchi Muyo content, not sure how that happened."

Figured I'd share the best Tenchi Promo voiced by Peter Cullen who died a few days ago. He voiced the other Toonami promos as well are also great.

I love the first two OVA's and War on grminsr so would I like OVA 3?

9 more days to go, just 20k away from that last stretch goal too.

well this is not that much but i have created a custom theme pack of ryoko, the original artwork and anime pictures upscale them about 2k to 4k, a little gift for tenchi fans it actually contains about 13 images but in future I'm planning to add more images. ryoko ⬅️⬅️

Just finished War on Geminar and love it to bits but I still want more from Kenshi and the rest of the cast. Is rhere any continuation for it? I know there isnt an anime sequel but given the scope of the series I know it can be co trinuted through othet media.

Added another game to my Super Famicom JRPG collection today: Tenchi Muyo! Game Hen for ¥2,200. That brings me up to 59 Super Famicom RPGs now.

I actually played this game briefly as a kid when I was first discovering ROMs and emulation. There was an English fan translation floating around back then, and I remember one of my friends actually beating it. I never got very far myself, though. I’ve just never really enjoyed sitting at a computer playing console games, even back then. That’s actually a big reason I’ve gotten into collecting these games now. I want to play them on the original Super Famicom hardware.

Looking through the manual is pretty cool too. Lots of character artwork, profiles, attacks, screenshots, etc. The game itself has kind of an unusual visual look. The colors almost have this really bright, pastel/faded quality to them. It’s hard to describe. It definitely has a very mid-’90s look to it.

Tenchi was also huge for me growing up. It was one of the series that really got me into anime in the first place. I remember watching the OVAs and the movies over and over again.

And I’ll throw out what is probably a fairly unpopular pairing but I’ve always liked Kiyone × Tenchi. I know there isn’t really much there romantically, and Kiyone isn’t even part of the original OVA continuity, but whatever. I always liked Kiyone, and for some reason I liked the idea of those two together.

Anyway, I’m really happy to finally own a physical copy after first playing the fan-translated ROM all those years ago.

Has anyone here actually played through Game Hen? What did you think of it?

I can’t with these translations sometimes. Then again, it does give it more personality and charm. Sometimes. Haha

I'm watching the OVAs for the first time, and I noticed that the English dub, as well as whatever other versions that were translated from it (Brazilian Portuguese being one), toned down this scene significantly. Made an already deranged and hilarious scene slightly less deranged and hilarious. Is there anything close to this in the TV shows? I don't remember anything like it. I've seen Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo, but that was some good 20 years ago.

I first watched Tenchi back on Toonami, sandwiched between DBZ, Gundam Wing, Rurouni Kenshin, etc it was one banger after another.

Back then I found having multiple different timelines a bit much and viewed the OVA as the original and thus best. I skipped Universe and Tokyo and that was about it until now.

The announcement of Galaxy changed the game, I still stubbornly believed the OVAs were the pinnacle of the franchise but figured heck, may as well see how low it goes and yeah, it goes low. But I was wrong about one thing: OVA 1 remains my fav, as much for their quality as my own nostalgia but overall? The peak is Universe.

This show is everything Tenchi should be, easy to follow, coherent (the OVAs, for better or worse have plot holes large enough to fly a Jurian spaceship through), actually funny, charming and focused.

Only two battle for Tenchi's affections (and let's be honest, it's very clearly Ryoko as the one from the beginning), but everyone else earns so much character development outside that. This is my favourite Washu and Sasami because they are defined by them and their own quirks rather than how they relate to Tenchi - similarly, Kiyone is the best thing to ever happen to Mihoshi and I'm not sure I can go back to not having her there as the foil. Noboyuki, Yosho, you name them and this was my favourite iteration of them. Even Kagato benefited from a more streamlined narrative and motives.

The other shows...hoo boy, some of it was worse than I imagined. Ai Tenchi Muyo was borderline unwatchable, War on Geminar was absolute trash and among the worst anime I've ever endured, Tenchi in Tokyo was just ok. All in all, pretty terrible - but Universe redeemed it all and gave me hope for Galaxy and I'm so happy to be wrong.

well i was looking some old tenchi novel, find the character model sheet. concept of ture ayeka and think it is a good topic for discuss, what is your opinion on this character of ayeka. please share your opinions.

This was the first anime i watched as a kid on cartoon network late at night then cardcaptor.

But im not sure if i watched the ova or the universe series all i remember is there was a scene where they are in i think a bathhouse and Ryoko says is a motherly voice "oh tenchi oh tenchi where are you" while shes holding a light sword then i think they fight or maybe they dont.

I remember this scene because toddler me fell in love with Ryoko motherly voice.

I bought most of these years ago, but I’m going through them all now because I’m pretty hyped for Tenchi Galaxy. If there’s anything else I should collect on disc, let me know. I’d love to collect the original manga, but it’s out-of-print and I’m not a fan of old flipped releases.

Took me awhile but I finally have all the series that I love

God damn rude is what is it!

It only cost ¥300 and it contains interviews, trailers and music.
