so 'TMRO' S4,5 have sketchy stories? no, not really. plus there's THREE Main Characters with their own separate but intertwining stories, Kenshi, Tenchi, and Seina. name me an anime that damn old that's STILL producing episodes today? Dragonball's the only show i know of with that long of a production length. my sources were kinda sorta iffy on this 'GXP' storyline's ending since 'TMRO' S4 hadn't even been in pre-pre production yet when i asked around amongst my Japanese acquaintances.Īs to story? hell yeah it's damn complex! the original OVAs were done in the 1990's! dang. this 'GXP' story arc finishes in-and around 'TMRO' S4 when Kenshi is born until around where he's 5y/o. yeah i can't read em, but i've got internet buddies in Japan who've read em and told me as such. there's a 'GXP' Story Arc that happens immediately AFTER!!! 'GXP' final episode's Wedding Ceremony that lasts quite a while in the sources. if you watch 'GXP' or 'War On Geminar' before 'TMRO' S4,5 you'll see a few characters with all new looks and some characters never before seen in any Tenchi show. the baseline design changes are minimal at best for characters. #3 THE SOURCE(s) have NOT been officially English translated to date! don't rely on fanslations, they're sketchy at best.Īs to 'TMRO' Season 4 and now Season 5 yes, they're not looking EXACTLY like the oldest and kinda older Tenchi shows/movies. i'm NOT saying the movies SUCK! i'm saying the Movies are worthless in that they don't tell the Main Storyline of the franchise properly. MOSTLY! i won't spoil so watch and figure out which is all original and which actually blends into the 'canon storylines'. they're almost ALMOST all worthless one-off anime-only original movies. #1 thing anybody just getting into the Tenchi franchise should know is that. what can i say that hasn't been said about previous iterations seasons OVAs movies in the franchise? the TIMELINES/PLOTLINES SUCKS! heh.
#TENCHI MUYO SERIES PLUS#
This review's gonna be a BIT spoiler filled! i'll try and generalize as MUCH as possible! plus it'll be tl dr but tough. but i got them and the Evangelion DVDs as fast as my allowance could buy them. so the first dubbed Tenchi OVAs were on DVD for more than a year before i could find them for sale. I'm old enough to have rented and seen ROBOTECH's dub on VHS in 1990 from Harmony Gold not even six months after the first tapes were sold in the USA.
#TENCHI MUYO SERIES SERIES#
the first first first OVA series was one my two earliest anime dub DVD purchases. Yes i will FREELY ADMIT to pro-Tenchi bias. i just did over the past 3 weeks to ensure i knew ALL the anime to-date for Season 5. because obviously that reviewer hasn't watched the entire franchise recently. so i'm going to give a review that's more in-depth and correct than the 1st one. There's only been one 'complete' review so far of this season because the final episode #6 came out on May 28th 2021 and it's only May 29th in Japan right now. Scenes that should be invoking nostalgia and warmth only stir up regret and sadness. I must admit that Tenchi Muyo was a formative element in my anime fandom so to see it fall so far and so hard is genuinely distressing. I have nothing to say about the music because I cannot recall a single note of it. The bottom of the character design barrel has been well and truly scraped with true abominations making the cut. The art is jus plain ugly and calling the animation limited would be charitable. Detailing the event should be a spoiler but the show manages to spoil it just fine by itself. It just suddenly shows up, happens and then just as quickly fades into the background. The titular hero himself is now a tertiary player in his own series and what should have been the defining development that original fans have been craving for comes off as just another event in a slideshow of events. At least I think so since I could not recognize or remember more than half of them nor can I remember them now after watching them. Just about every character that has ever showed up inĪny capacity in any "related" series puts in an appearance here either as glorified extras or extended cameos. However they felt a need to tie it all together into one giant lore that presumably aims to be dense and rich but ends up incomprehensible and ridiculous. Isekai Monogatari & Tenchi GXP are not terrible per se but they were at best tangentially related to Tenchi. Everything since from all the alternate takes / reboots to the various spin-offs have ranged from barely relevant to outright bad.

I just don't know why I persist after the first set of the Ryo-Ohki OVAs followed by the Universe TV series and movies which were pretty great.
