The offical Tenchi Muyo thread

[AWB]

I was shocked that this thread didn't exist.

I love the series. It was one of the first anime series I experienced, and made me a fan of anime. I love the characters, the storys, and above all, Ryooki! hugs Ryooki plushie

Out of all the series, the first OVA is my favorite. It's a genrally more character-driven series than Tenchi Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo.

I also want to ask this. I know this DVD set is a bootleg, but has anyone bought it? If so, is it in good quality?

Oh, and Mihoshi is hot hot hot!

[Anime Master]

This is my favorite Anime ever. I have loved this since I was 10. For over 7 years I have yet to be dissapointed with it (Except with Tenchi Forever. Awful) I actually just got all the Dvd's just recently at Suncoast for $40. Great deal for 4 dvds.
I also finnaly watched Funi's OVA 3 and I will say that I was impressed by it. Excluding Ryoko it was a joy to hear everyone again. Shame that Bob Papenbrook died after finishing the last episode.

Oh and OVA is the best. Episode 6 was pure win. I'm actually learning Kagato's Organ piece for school. Any villain with an organ in their 'lair' owns. Just so evil.

[FireFistAce 0]

My favorite too. Washu is the queen of aweseomeness.

I still need to get all of OAV 3, though I hear it's not quite up to par with OAV 1 and 2. The new funimation voices were decent enough, though, except I'm not a big fan of Ryoko's new voice.

When I saw their new character designs in Episode 18 of Tenchi Muyo GXP, though, I knew it was gonna be awesome.

[joesephes]

Yay, a tenchi muyo thread!!

This is one of my most favorite anime series ever! In fact, this is one of the very first anime series that got me into anime in the first place!

Big fan of both Ryoko and Kiyone Mukabi right here! :wub:

[Anime Master]

Same with me. To be honest I refused to watch DBZ for the longest time for it took Tenchi's spot off Toonami.
OVA 3's voices are the old voices, excluding Ryoko, and boy do they still sound great.
Plus Kagato appears in the last episode.

[AWB]

I got all 4 DVDs of the first two OVAs in Geneon's signature series.

My love for the series has been rekindled. I never stop laughing at the scene where Ryo-ohki eats Mihoshi's gun, or the scene where Mihoshi can't take care of a crying baby Taro and begins to cry louder than he is. That's all that's on my mind now. Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi Tenchi.

I download a rom of the 1995 SNES RPG. Even though I can't understand a single letter (or whatever you call it) of Kanji, I love this game. It's a good licensed game that lives up to what it's based on. Though I find it odd that it's based on the OVA series yet features Pretty Sammy and Washu's two puppets.

And yesterday, I went out to fill in the gaps in my manga collection. I bought the rereleased right-to-left print of volume 7. Mother of shit! They're editing it into young children's fare! What happened to the scene where the guy falls from the ceiling and lands his head right between Mihoshi's breasts? And why do they have to censor nude scenes that don't show anything? Worse part of all, I can't find the reciete so I can't return it to the store. ;__;

I wish there were more any electronic stores near my house that sold the Tenchi DVDs. I want to get the third OVA series so badly.

[Cap'n Carter]

Grandpa was the best character

[Janken Jack]

Yeah, Katsuhito/Yosho was pretty badass in all his forms.

I've yet to have met somebody that actually likes Aeka. Personally, my fave's Washu.

[Cap'n Carter]

Out of the girls, I liked Washu and Kiyone the most. Ryoko's up there too, of course.

[tonitonichopper]

I remeber this show when it aired on Toonami, I liked the first series the best even though it was kinda short, I remeber being really confused on Universe and Tokyo because they were retelling the story in a diffrent way and then added alot. I hated what they did when they showed how they met in Tokyo really boring compared to Universe and Muyo.

The only good thing about Aeka were her log-men.

[AWB]

@Janken:

Well that ends as of right now.

I always thought she'd make a better wife for Tenchi than Ryoko, especially since she's a bit more attentive to Tenchi's needs than Ryoko. That and it was nice (at least for me) to see an opposite to the totally out there woman that Ryoko was.

Yup, I wasn't too fond of Ryoko at first, but she sort of grew on me. But never to the same extent that the others did.

[Anime Master]

Washu was always my favorite as well. She was so unpredictable and funny. Her interactions with Mihoshi are classic. Best thing about Universe were those two dolls that praised her.

Plus she has a lot of importance in OVA 3.

[FireFistAce 0]

One of the best fights in the manga was the Washu vs. Dark Washu fight. That was just awesome.

I agree that Aeka would probably be a better wife for Tenchi, but Ryoko seems like the type to just be a lover than a traditional wife. Though in terms of character, I like the more carefree Ryoko. But then, Tenchi never really jumped at any of the other girls until Sakuya showed up (and I've heard plenty of distaste from that).

I bought the entire Tenchi Universe set.

In one episode, a newspaper has the headline They Bboke into a bank.

XD

[komikero008]

this is great!

ryoko's my fave, then washu/mihoshi are next on the list. :happy:

[Sano]

God, I love the Tenchi Series, heck I even own a couple of the Magical Project S vhs tapes. My favorite characters in the series are Tenchi, Ryoko, Nagi the Bounty Hunter, Washu, and Pixy Misa (She is Pretty Sammy arch rival in the Pretty Sammy ovas, and the Magical Project S tv series).

Funny story, one time when I was watching Tenchi in Toyko, it was the Tenchi and gang are stuck Yugi's tomb thing, they had the battle those log things, my mom made a funny as hell comment, it was the battle of the porta potties. xD

[Buuhan1]

One of my first animes along with DBZ and Sailor moon. It will always hold a place in my heart.

I recently have gotten a interest to re-watch the series. Too bad I lost International Channel/AZN Television when I lost cable and a year later went to dish, cause they were showing it, the uncut dub.

Wish it wasn't a cable only channel.

[Dragon Warrior Steve]

God, I was just talking about this series last night. This goes back to when Toonami played amazing anime. I remember having the biggest crush on Ryoko lol.

I'll probably start watching the Muyo series again online. Is the new series that Funimation released any good?

[raj]

When did they start playing this on Toonami? I seem to vaguely recall some promos of it, but I don't think I was ever home to see it back then.

[AWB]

Back in the year 2000, raj.

Hahaha, no kidding. I think Ryoko was the first animated person I ever had a crush on. I think she was also what had me experience my first "naughty" thought.

I recall going to Hollywood Video and finding a VHS and on the back of it had a picture of her simply with her nipples covered by veins or something of the like. At the time I was young yet I knew what I was seeing and I liked it…

Aaaaah...ecchi. Hahaha, remembering this makes me laugh.

[AWB]

I bought the first volume of the third OVA.

Funimation takes over where Geneon left on, and the voices are terrible. Whose idea was it to have Mona Marshal voice Ryoko? Ryoko sounds like a little boy. Tenchi has lost that Kermit the Frog-ness to his voice, and Nobiyuki sounds like Mel Brookes.

[Captain Kaze]

I like the voices Funi used for the new characters introduced in GXP, but I hate their voices for old characters. ..a lot. I guess after watching OAV 1/2, and Universe probably close to 50 times each I got used to the old actors.

Most of the Japanese voices could have remained the same for OAV 3, but I remember reading an article that the voice of Yosho (Grandfather) died a few years ago. Funi used different voices for Episode 17 (When Yamada visits Tenchi) and for the numerous Washuu cameos, but kept the same in OAV 3.

I wish some of the Manga characters got cameos in OAV 3… Particularly Yumi, Minage, and that alien monk (Forget his name).

[Anime Master]

Yosho's and Nobuyuki's voice actor is the one from Tenchi in Tokyo. He died right after finishing dubbing Episode 20 of OVA 3. I prefered the original dub voice, provided by Jay Hopper, but I think he died as well. In fact the dub voices of Yosho and Nobuyuki are the only ones he did. Shame.

I cant watch OVA 3 in English without laughing due to Mona Marshall's Ryoko. She uses the voice of that Bird from the Blood Orgy episode of South Park for Ryoko. I loved Pietra's original voice. Shame she didnt reprise it. Oh well, the Japanese voices are the same throughout!

The alien monk was Goheigh I think.

Actually, the amusing thing is that they kept pretty much the entire original dub cast of the OVA except for Ryoko's VA, who was unavailable for recording.

I remember when they showed us the preview at Anime Boston a few years back, we all thought Tenchi's voice was the one they replaced because he just didn't sound the same. Unfortunately, it's just a case of most of them being rusty (or in the case of Nobuyuki and Yosho, close to death).

[Anime Master]

The VA who was the most Rusty, excluding Nobuyuki and Yosho, was defiantly Washu's. It took her two episodes or so to start sounding like herself. Sasami's was perfect though. She used that voice on Ghost in the Shell. I remember the first time I heard it I was switching channels and I heard that voice and I got so excited that Adult Swim put Tenchi Back on…then I discovered a new show.

[AWB]

When was Tenchi on Adult Swim?

Sasami's was perfect though.

Sherry Lynn rarely does any voice other than a high-pitch little girl's voice. It was impossible for her to forget it. Like how Steven Blum could never forget how to do a low voice.

[Anime Master]

Tenchi was on Adult Swim a long time ago, back with uncut DB and DBZ.

[Buuhan1]

@Anime:

Tenchi was on Adult Swim a long time ago, back with uncut DB and DBZ.

….huh? When the fuck was uncut DB and DBZ on adult swim?

[Anime Master]

Early 2000. It might not have been called Adult Swim. I think it might have been Toonami late at night or something like that.

[Captain Kuro]

I remember there was a thing called "Midnight Run" that used to show back then.

[Anime Master]

That was it! Toonami Midnight run! It was on that. Then that got replace by Adult Swim that showed Yu Yu Hakusho.

[AWB]

That reminds me. I saw an episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast where they said ass, and this was before Adult Swim came around.

[joesephes]

^Yeah that was funny as hell!

Btw, does anyone know where to find the manga version of the Tenchi series? I am just curious that's all.

[Tommy Swoes]

Still my favorite anime of all time, and the series that fully drew me into anime.
Plus, it was on during a very good time of my life.
Something about the Summer of 2000 was just awesome!

Well you shouldn't get you're hopes up since it's length and plot kind of hurt it in the end.

Anyway this is one of my favorite series I trying to finish GXP which
is fucking hilarious so I can get into OVA3 but I'm too back up to so.
