How many of you remember Ryoko?

>>281752425 (OP)
as far as Son Wukong clones go she and her show was pretty bland

Never watched Tenchi Muyo.

What is Tenchi Muyo even about
Why does she have a gameboy

>>281752475
She cute

>>281752653
it's about a mary sue finding out he's secretly space royalty and inherited vast cosmic powers and getting a harem because of it

>>281752425 (OP)
This series has an extremely autistic fanbase.

>>281752549
someone doesn't know what words mean?

>>281752713
Name one relevant anime with a respectful, non-autistic fanbase.

>>281752700
and this is bad because....

>>281752425 (OP)
Talk about a blast from the past.

>>281752820
You never forget your first Waifu

>>281752735
Tenchi hasn't been relevant for a long time.
>tenchifags getting hype for a new ova
>the entire episode is everyone sitting around dumping lore
BOOOOORIIIIING

>>281752888
I still love her

>>281752991
First time I ever heard a woman talk and act like that in a cartoon. It was all downhill from there.

>>281752425 (OP)
>How many of you remember Ryoko?
Remember Ryoko?
She is my wife!
Stop posting pics of my wife!!

>Never have a girl want me as hungerly as Ryoko wanted Tenchi

>>281752729
Love the designs in Tenchi, the girls have such bizarre hairstyles but still manage to look hot. Everyone has a unique look. And I like Ryoko's eye shape a lot too.

>>281752991
Ryoko was the only good thing about Tenchi in Tokyo.

>>281753704
Nagi nearly mogs them all.

>>281753624
The soundtrack was pretty good as well, same composer as Dragon Ball

>>281752425 (OP)
For some reason, I keep coming back to her trying to comfort a grieving Tenchi in his youth.

>>281754235
>That episode where she literally kidnaps Tenchi and drag him into the cave to ravish him.

I associate her with that one twitter user.

>>281754826
I want them all

>>281754915
Even the bratty princess?

>>281754993
Yes

>>281754826
I love that tan blondie

>>281755264
especially Washu

I have never forgot her, she's my eternal wife.

Ryoko is a Lum clone, not a goku clone.

>>281753704
Kiyone is a miracle of the Universe.

>>281752820
I was going to make a Tenchi thread yesterday. I got beat to it.

>>281755427
That paizuri offer had me spitting out my drink the first time around.

>>281752450
>>281755512
Ryoko is Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie.

>>281755609
Also true.
>>281755648
I kneel Washu Washu

>>281755832
>The great Washu appreciates your honesty. I will not send you to the realm of Pretty Sammy.

>>281752425 (OP)
I was hoping she would turn up in Pretty Sammy but she's only in the OVA version. For the most part only Washu, Mihoshi, and Kiyone show up besides Sasami herself. Pixy Misa makes up for it though. I don't know why this mediocre magical girl show has the best evil magical girl ever but it does.

>>281753419
>>281753489

>>281755917
A evil version of Ayeka is in the TV series, she's the main antagonist

>>281755864
Mommy Washu

>>281755917
I never saw it. Is she not in that? In the Tenchi episode with Sammy doesn't she literally turn Ryoko lesbian and then she fingers Mihoshi or something?

Reminder, modern /a/ once had tastes.

>>281752425 (OP)
>How many of you remember Ryoko?
I do

>>281754111
They use a lot of fretless bass in it. And I like how those sound a lot.

For me? It's Ayeka.

She is the love of my life...

>>281756498
I wont dismiss your tastes anon.

>>281756519
Now THIS is true dedication to your wife.

>>281757021
This is my left arm. THAT'S how much I love Ryoko.

>>281757035
That is actually pretty low key. You only see that mask in the first episode of the OVA and on some cover art of media that don't easily make it into the states.

>>281757074
That's exactly why I wanted it. It represents her but only the real fans will recognize it.

>>281752888
Being a Tenchi fan is absolute pain. The franchise hasn't been good since 1999. OVA 3, 4, and 5 are garbage. War on Geminar is overrated. Ai TM is generic harem trash. Meanwhile, all I want is more Hitoshi Okuda manga.

>>281757255
>Meanwhile, all I want is more Hitoshi Okuda manga.
That I a grateful to have completed.

>>281753266
She doesn't sound like that in Japanese.

It's not Tenchi Muyo if his dad doesn't sound like Homer Simpson.

>>281754329
>>281755954

Best girl.

As a child, my favourite parts of Tenchi Muyo were his cool sword, and those two annoying wicker guardians turning into kick ass space samurai for the final fee episodes.
As a manchild, my favourite part is Ryoko.

>>281752425 (OP)
sorry, but i'm an ayeka main

>>281758356
There is no straight explanation to this.

I like tenchi GPX and isekai spinoff more than tenchi.

First crush I ever had

>>281752425 (OP)
Certainly not the makers of the recent OVA.

>>281753624
I wish she was more evil in the original series. She was better when she seemed threatening to Tenchi.

Why am I attracted to morally dubious women?

>>281753624
You know it took me 20 years to finally watch that series from start to finish and wow does it get really good about halfway through. The first few episodes are so bad that it turned me off from watching it. Really glad to have finally finished it.

>>281760327
But Lina is pure unlike that whore Xellos.

Do any of you anons own an animation cel of best girl?

She's so perfect it's unreal.

commence ai slop dump (too bad)

>>281760336
I never finished it when I was younger and first saw it, and then there was different versions and I gave up.
Does Ryoko end up with Tenchi in the end or is it one of the others?

>>281760354
I'm sure you don't, anon.

>>281760469
It's definitely AI but I don't know that I'd call it stop, anon. Some of these are really damn good.

>>281752475
Ryoko's too pure to fap to.

>>281755513
Correct as always, Kiyone is a miracle of the Universe poster.

>>281760553
Ryoko is best, but Kiyone comes fucking close.

>>281760487
He marries all of them, even the rabbit cat.

>>281760547
My thoughts exactly.

>>281760469
Can't be helped. Even her creator forgot how to draw her.

>>281760487
No, they're all still at the house competing for him at the end.

AI cunts always have to shit up a thread, huh?

>>281761042
I got you, bro.

Tenchi threads, especially on /e/, were a bastion for finding lost media and having at least two anonymous artbros who would redraw bad art more classically on-model. Keep sloppers out.

>>281761185
I miss those /e/ threads, bro...

>>281752653
Guy visits his grandpa at the family shrine in the mountains, and steals the key to the cave where his ancestor had locked away a demon hundreds of years ago with a sacred sword.
Turns out the demon was a cute space pirate, and the ancestor was prince of the most powerful empire in the galaxy, and the sword was a lightsaber.
Then other girls show up looking for the space pirate or the prince, get stranded on Earth, and fall in love with Tenchi.

5 seasons and 30 years later he finally fucking marries all of them.

>>281762822
including the cat

>>281762902
Especially the cat!

I remember her nippleless boobs

>>281763027
Lies!

>>281763129
The version I saw on TV had censored nipples.

>>281763221
Oh right, I forget about that. I've seen the uncensored version probably 10x more than the Toonami version.

>>281762982
Holy shit, keep the ai slop out of our 90s threads you zoomer swine. Let us ojisans have our fun for once.

>>281763534
I got you, bro.

>>281763633
Seriously dogg I had pictures of her in my locker and everything. You never forget your first love.

>>281763534
This is the curse of only knowing something because of porn.

>>281760494
Ryoko wouldn't cover herself up like this.

we need an ai sloppa block feature on this site

>>281765206
Make on AI board. Normally I don't like saying that. But the AI spam on this site is the most egregious I have seen anywhere. It's time we contain.

>>281765403
It'll leak out, same as /b/ and /pol/. The culture of the site encourages the little shits to overspill like giggling schoolkids.

>>281765557
Mitigation is still better than prevention.

Even in it's decline, Tenchi Muyo consistently delivers on something other series lack.
Sexually aggressive older women.

>>281761042
They can't help themselves.

>>281769639
I haven't kept up with this franchise in years so I dind't know they made more of GXP. I remember liking the blonde woman in the old show.

>>281769639
isn't she his aunt or some kind of relative like mother in law?

>>281770085
it's a prequel to Isekai spinoff, it's fun especially if you watched it and finally get answers on some questions from it.

Basically GXP > Isekai > Tenchi

>>281752425 (OP)
She's one of my favorites. Her VA's got a great voice too.

Love Ayeka too. All the girls in Tenchi are great, really. I don't think there's another harem with such a stacked line-up to this day.

>>281752425 (OP)
Yes. But I bet no one remembers Nagi.

>>281755917
I watched this recently and you're right, she was really funny. Seemed like whoever voiced her was having a good time too.

>>281752653
Classic harem anime. Tenchi is normal teenager who through odd circumstance is introduced to a harem of beautiful alien women.

It has going for it two things. First, a random harem anime has no fucking right putting so much effort into having aesthetics of technology so detailed, beautiful and alien. Example; pic related is a wooden spaceship : one of the most powerful spaceships in the galaxy. That bubble is a pocket dimension that houses a planet sized garden, powered by a tree which is also a CPU and a demigod. Unfortunately the species that use them have the Vampire The Masquerade generation problem: with increasing generations away from the original Godtree their ships are getting weaker and weaker. Take a look at some concept art if you like (the shows music is great too).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAB65caIO7M

The other draw is the characters, who answer the 'why is MC not fucking these girls?' question with 'because they are nuts'. The are in no particular order:

>Ryoko - "Space Pirate"
A sort of artificial magical demon lifeform. After rampaging across the galaxy she was sealed away in a shrine near Tenchi's home for centuries.
+/-Is beautiful as she is crazy.
+Massive crush on Tenchi.
-This means she basically stalks Tenchi, and wants his attention all the time.
-Stalking even less fun when the person doing it is Goku levels of strong, has dozens of bullshit magical powers and can do things like phase through walls when you're taking a piss.
-Implied reason for crush is that while sealed away, watching child Tenchi play was her only source of joy. Kind of creepy.
-Artificial nature is implies she doesn't really feel or taste much, probably wouldn't notice sex.
-Possibly unstable, absolutely homicidal. Introduces herself to Tenchi by pretending(?) to try and kill him and destroying his school.
+Is still best girl.
+Brought her own spaceship.
+Brought her little sister Ryo-Ohki.
+Those two are more related than you think.
CONT

>>281771679
Ayeka - "Space Princess"
While chasing Ryoko, is stranded on earth after getting her ship blown up.
+/-Is beautiful as she is crazy.
+Alien family literally owns earth and is insanely powerful.
-No indoor voice.
-Probably not more annoying than Ryoko to Tenchi, but it's close.
-Implied dominatrix leanings.
-Doesn't actually seem to do much, mostly seems to be there to cockblock Ryoko.
+Show wouldn't be the same without her, even if it's hard to explain what she adds.
+Brought her little sister Sasami!

Sasami - "Her Little Sister Sasami"
Tagged along with Ayeka, doesn't seem to give a shit about being stranded on a primitive alien planet.
+Beautiful, not crazy.
+Genuinely nice to Tenchi and everyone else she meets.
+Enjoys cooking, perfect wife material.
+Isn't stuck up or insane from being space royalty.
+Has crush on Tenchi, will not try to murder him for choosing wrong girl like Ryoko and Ayeka.
-Sasami is eight years old.

Mihoshi - "Space Cop"
A literal spacecop that gets stranded on earth while hunting Ryoko.
+Pretty.
+Not crazy.
+Comic relief.
+/- Brown
-Not really a legit harem member.
-Not really relevant.
-No seriously, the eight year old is treated as a more legit harem option than Mihoshi. Thanks japan.

Washu - Ryoko's deadbeat mom.
Famed galactic scientist and lunatic. Lives in a pocket dimension in Tenchi's closet like Dexter's Laboratory with more magitek and sexual harassment.
+/-Is beautiful as she is crazy.
+Smartest person in the galaxy. Like that is literally true.
-Less useful than you'd think considering.
+Still pretty useful.
-Also not really a harem candidate.
+MILF?
-Who looks like an eight year old girl.
-Occasionally straps down Tenchi for medical experimentation.
+Created Ryoko and her little sister
-Didn't do a great job.

Ryo-Ohki - "Ryoko's Little Sister"
A furry little pet girl-cat-rabbit creature hatched from a spaceship egg. No seriously.
-I refuse to explain this more than I did.

>>281770423
That's Kiriko's mom, and sort of a motherly figure to him, even before her son married Seina's little sister.
But before he got shanghai'd into the GP, the plan was that after both her kids had their family secret revealed and went into space, Seina would get handed off to her, more or less as her new husband.
And even after he married her daughter, she was still eager to claim her right.

>>281771709
Also worth noting is that while Ryoko and Ayeka are always fighting over which one of them will get Tenchi, the others four here just all accept that they can share him and live in harmony.
Washu and Sasami at least come from cultures where polygamy is common, but Mihoshi just never seemed to give it much thought and didn't worry.

>>281771679
Thanks for posting. That's a cool video.

>>281771679
The aesthetics of Jurai technology and fashion are probably my favorite of any fictional society in anime.

>>281772260
One of my favorite scenes in the whole series is at the end of OVA 1, when Ryo-Ohki is talking to the freshly budded Ryu-Oh.
The silly cat-rabbit thing and the tree-spaceship-godspawn conversing with meows and tiny lasers.

>>281771679
It kind of kills me how interesting the sci-fi part of Tenchi Muyo is and how the later stuff just drops it

>>281772409
It's still there, it's just shunted off into GXP(the only steadily ongoing part of the franchise, coincidentally).
I like the cozy SoL stuff in the main series, but for the love of god would it kill the fucker to put in a lightsaber fight or two?

>>281771313
not true
she almost turned me against my wife

I own this

>>281771715
WTF

>>281772973
Which part of this is strange to you?

>>281752450
I enjoyed all the OVAs from before the 2000s. I wish anime nowadays had the feel that these old shows had. There's just something anime had back then besides the cell shading that made them a bit charming. Had some great OP/ED themes too.

>>281752425 (OP)
I watched the first three OVAs recently and completely fell in love with her. Is the TV series good?

>>281773255
Universe is universally(pun not intended) loved, though the fanbase is split on whether it's better than the OVAs.
Tenchi in Tokyo is pretty much the opposite, everyone thinks it's pretty trash.

>>281773255
I believe the TV series and the OVAs follow different continuities or universes, same thing applies for the bunch of other spin offs, so you will see stuff happening somewhat differently.

>>281773255
Universe is good and for some people it's their favorite incarnation, but it isn't as visually impressive as the OVAs.

>>281757255
OVA 3 is okay. It's nowhere near as good as the first two, and it indulges too much in the series's lore to the detriment of the story, but the new characters are fun, and I like that they explore Tenchi's mom more. As for the spin-offs, other than Photon, which was fantastic, I only watched GXP, and I couldn't even finish it. It's an abomination on every front.

>>281773255
>Is the TV series good?
Yeah, The best thing about the tv show is the consistency, unlike the OVAs which good from great (OVA 1), then decent (OVA 2), then bad (OVA 3) to whatever happens on OVA 4 and onwards.
The tv show also leads to two movies, Tenchi in Love and Tenchi in Love 2 also known as Tenchi Forever.
Tenchi in Love 1 is a pretty good film that explores the past of Tenchi's mother and father, while Tenchi Forever is a mature drama about what it means to love as an adult, Forever is fantastic and personally I consider it the peak of the franchise.

>>281760336
Same, never had a chance to watch much of it as a kid when it aired on t.v.

>>281752991
This episode and the one where Washu takes an adult form are the ones I remember the most from my fragmented memories of the late 90s/early 2000s before properly revisiting the series as an adult.

>>281773255
Ryo-ohki s1-2 > Geminar > Universe movies = child of darkness > Shin Tenchi >> Universe = Ryo-ohki s3 >= assorted spin-offs like mahou shoujo sasami and the weird 10s inspired school-setting harem >>>>>>>>> the trash heap that is GXP
I'm apparently one of the few who didn't appreciate Universe tv series much, probably because I didn't grow up watching it on toonami in the 90s or whatever. I think it's like a more dry version of the original ova with worse visuals.

>>281773605
and nobody knows where the hell Daughter of Darkness fits in.

>>281772836
what is it?

>>281774793
>I think it's like a more dry version of the original ova with worse visuals.
I'm not looking to change your opinion, but personally I always liked the idea of taking these character you know and love and put them in a new scenario and with certain differences. Spiritually they are similar to their counterparts, but they are also new interpretations.
>Washu is no longer the mom of Ryoko, but she's the mom of the group
>Tenchi is a bit more composed compared to his OVA version
>Ryoko and Ayeka are more mature, which is interesting because both were the dramatic element in the OVA, while in Universe they are like two adult sisters trying to get adult
>Yosho is the stoic grandpa, instead of the lecherous young man pretending to be a shinto priest
>Mihoshi is a klutz instead of the reality warping space cop from the OVA, but thanks to Kiyone there's a balance between clumsy and seriousness.

>>281773605
I love the Forever movie too, but damn was it a tonal whiplash coming off the main series. I wonder what inspired them to make it. I'm glad they did though even if just for the phenomenal soundtrack.

>>281774975
It's an adaptation of one of Naoko Hasegawa novels, which originally was expanded canon of the OVAs until it became its own thing, IIRC because of the split between the original creators.
>>281775080
>I love the Forever movie too, but damn was it a tonal whiplash coming off the main series. Indeed. We go from japanese teenager fights the emperor of the galaxy, to Tenchi has to discover what is the point of being an adult.
> I wonder what inspired them to make it
Most likely Evangelion and the conclusion of the millennium. Evangelion was a huge success in the market, which lead to the producer companies to greenlight similar projects, on the other hand that meant for artists to try a more dry and serious approuch to their own popular works. With the millennium ending and a new beginning, most people felt uncertain about the future, which is reflected through Tenchi in the film and through the scene of Ryoko flying away with Tenchi, while the small imaginary neighbourhood transforms into the city

Tenchi-Muyo! in Love 2 - Ending... And Beginning

>>281775060
I think the story works better when it leans into the over the top characterization and comedy more. I can see the appeal of the setting/thematic change though because that's often interesting.

>>281775060
>to get adult
trying to get along*
Damn, today is not my day.

>>281775707
>I can see the appeal of the setting/thematic change though because that's often interesting.
Totally, take for example Rurouni Kenshin. There's a huge tonal shift between the normal anime and Trust and Betrayal.

I haven't seen a quality Tenchi Muyo! discussion thread in years, anons. Thank you all for being here.

If he could only choose one girl, Sasami is the only one fit to be a wife.

>>281773255
The tv series is a fun adventure romp that reimagines the basic setup with some changes to the character backgrounds, a few new characters and a different creative vision. Some of the later movies ("In Love" and "Forever" IIRC) are set in that tv universe. My main problem with it is that for large parts, the characters are flanderized copies of their OAV selves, Mihoshi being the main victim, so I've always been more of a fan of the OAV universe.

>>281763129
Poor woman has no pussy...

>>281776531
>Mihoshi being the main victim

Gods yes. Several of the other girls have been victims of character assassination but Mihoshi is by far the worst.

>>281774793
>I think it's like a more dry version of the original ova with worse visuals.
That's my view on it as well. I enjoy it, but it doesn't quite have the same feel to it as the OAV does for me, lorewise. On that note, I'll never quite forgive Pioneer/AIC, that they held back any continuation of the OAV setting, in favor of endless spin-offs to milk the franchise dry until it was past its prime.

In my ideal timeline, the side stories that were told in the Shin Tenchi Muyo novels should have been the actual OAV3, to further flesh out the characters and setting with a better paced leadup to the finale that would have been another hypothetical OAV4. That timegap and stress to fit the remainder of the story in a single OAV series really took a toll on the series structure and pacing.

On another note, if I could get a properly animated new project, it would probably be Isekai no Seikishi 2 or maybe a (re)adaption of the GXP novels, with a director that doesn't turn the series into a farce with his brand of humor.

>>281776968
Well, we're due an adaptation of Paradise Wars, which the latest GXP OVA and OVA 5 had built up.
But, we haven't gotten any word on it since it was announced a few years ago.

>>281777174
That's nice to hear. I've been out of the loop for a while. If it ever gets released, I hope Kajishima got enough funding to make it look good.

I mean aesthetically the recent stuff looks as well as it can in the digital age, the problem is that not a whole lot of action is happening to show it off.
Also you might like to be aware that with Comiket the other week, Kajishima dropped another book, this one about Seina's oldest son and Ryoko's and Ayeka's daughters.
It's been scanned, but not translated yet.

>>281757533
dont worry anon
I see trigger discipline
although I was taught to never point any gun be real or fake at anyone

Ryoko reminds me of a monkey, the ears, the canines.

>>281755960
I didn't know what you were talking about until I watched two more episodes and there she is and Ryoko shows up not long after. I suppose they wanted to save them for the last arc.

>>281777329
I'm still not sure how I feel about those vignettes about the various offspring. Unless he plans to do an actual series with them, akin to, say War on Geminar or GXP, I'm not sure I really need to know who did what with whom for generations to come. There's also the narrative problem that post OAV3 anything in the immediate vicinity of Tenchi's closest family kinda lacks stakes, with him being the god emperor of time and space, backed up by the 3 goddesses no less. Even War on Geminar, which is probably the best Kajishima related thing since OAV2, is a strange watch at times, once you keep that in mind. "No need for Tenchi" indeed.

>>281776584
I love the implications that she's a subconscious genius that can planeswalk between dimensions without even realizing it when the situation calls for it.

I want them to return to the old art style if they ever make more OVAs or movies.

>>281777475
She is a bit of a baboon.

>>281777711
Imagine if they made a sequel series to Universe?

>>281777475
Most of her outfits have a tail as well. She fashions herself a cat, but monkey is in fact more accurate.

>>281777742
I'd rather they just reboot again. Universe's plot threads are mostly resolved.

All of muyo and universe is on YT where can I watch shin tenchi?

Treat yourself to better quality. There's torrents for Tenchi stuff on animetosho and if not look through irc like https://nibl.co.uk/ as an alt source. And thank god for these too its criminal how much blu ray prices for these old shows are.

Things Aeka would say

>>281777174
Is the Tenchi series even popular/relevant anymore? I feel like the few who still care or know of its existence anymore are 30+ years old and also the voice cast are getting old + some retired or died.

>>281778511
Not at all. Kajishima ensures that its popularity decreases with every new entry.

>>281778511
who cares.
it will always be relevant to meeeeeee

>>281775499
More nagi, she needed more screen time in universe

She's definitely underrated.

this is the only acceptable way to end a harem series. it's unfair to lead all these wonderful girls on for years and years on end and then pick a single favorite.

>>281781935
Oh sure, I just think he dragged his feet about it, in-universe and out.

I didn't realize someone translated the Azumanga Tenchi Muyo book. Or that it was all official work for the series. You can see the DNA of Azumanga Daiyo in a lot of this. Especially the 4koma. This one is basically the same exact page format he used for Daiyo.

>>281752425 (OP)
This has to be the most inconsistent series. Shit would take a phd to follow with all the spin offs and different series. Seemed to have cool worldbuilding and good aesthetics so it seems like a lot of wasted energy

This confused the hell out of me as a kid when I didn't know everyone was supposed to be naked in that episode. When Ryoko whipped off Ayeka's towel in front of Tenchi, revealing a one piece swimsuit an Eskimo would say is too conservative, and Ayeka goes full ENF, I was like Eh Wut?

Pretty Sammy TV is seriously underrated. It's a magical girl parody when the genre was still digesting the Sailor Moon impact. And it's actually hilarious. I don't laugh much with anime but I was laughing with Pretty Sammy.

>>281791750
Forgive my ignorance, senpai.

Anyone else find it interesting that characters regularly wear different outfits in Tenchi Muyo and it rarely happens in anything else?

>>281793215
It's a matter of budget, which Tenchi actually had back in the day when they were owned and supported by Pioneer.
Most shows would just rather spend their money on other things, though some do have varying outfits(Ruri no Houseki for instance right now), and some that don't at least have an excuse.

What the heck. 4chan just tried to hide this thread from me. It didn't show up in the catalog until I googled the thread explictly.

>>281793511
It's almost reached the bump limit anyway.

>>281793444
>>281793215

This is one reason I loved the Okuda manga. He had them all in different outfits almost every chapter.

I don't want it to end, bros...

>>281793971
Had a lot of fun reminiscing with you all

she was my first

>>281794098
I think what makes these Tenchi threads so special is their frequency. A thread like this only comes around maybe once a year.

>>281775468
From me.

>>281793949
Bump limit is 500 posts. Still plenty of time

No need for a conclusion from Universe is definitely my favorite ending tenchi episode if that makes sense, wraps up nicely and the rewatch is easy compared to the OVA

>>281794186
>she was my first
she was the best

>>281795067

>>281798406
Man, that ending is one of the very few core memories I have that involve a television. I had no idea a serialized cartoon could hit that hard. God bless Toonami.

>>281752425 (OP)
I didn't like her when I watched the show on Toonami.
I didn't like her when I rewatched the show.
She's annoying and masculine, and her hair is stupid.

Team Ayeka forever. Beautiful and ladylike.

>>281797993
>>281798406

Tenchi Muyo in Love is such a slam dunk. It's the audience's introduction to Tenchi's mother who at that point had been built up as this perfect mother figure. There was such a an unseen mythology to her character and they had so much riding on her first appearance. The audience has to immediately fall in love with the character, almost before she even speaks.... and that is miraculously accomplished. Achika is not only the best part of TMiL, she's arguably the best character in the entire franchise.... and OVA 3 fucked it all up.

>>281752425 (OP)
I too remember those vhs tapes and that toonami promo.....

Fuck....

>>281798872
The best thing about Tenchi Muyo is that there are no wrong answers to the question "Who is best girl?"

>>281797993
girls in 80s really unironically wanted to be brides and good mothers

>>281799016
Based. Total thot death.

>>281752669
Yeh

>>281798499
>>281798811
Exactly. It's a beautiful cathartic moment.
The equivalent of a miracle.

>>281798872
Ayeka is really nice when she's not being a complete bitch, but that's not often enough.

>>281798947
>Achika is not only the best part of TMiL, she's arguably the best character in the entire franchise
I love how she's the in-between of Ryoko and Ayeka. While she's more playful than Ayeka, she's more mellow than Ryoko.
She's a princess living a normal life, which is parallel to Tenchi's adventure
The final scene is fantastic, Nobuyuki is filming our main cast, then the audience is transported to the past, with a young Nobuyuki filming Achika, Ryoko and Ayeka, and finally both parents of Tenchi together in the middle of Sakura trees (that scene has a great callback in Tenchi Forever with Tenchi and Ryoko together at the lake)

>>281799665
Ironically, my favorite Ayeka scenes are in Tenchi Forever. Watching her and Ryoko work together towards a common goal is so enjoyable. It's amazing what they can accomplish when Tenchi is removed from the equation.

>>281799665
Her bitchiness is extremely overstated, and she has her reasons.

She apologizes and stops very early on. From that point onward, it's just not liking trashy classless cunts, which this society could do with significantly more of.

Should I open it in celebration of this thread

>>281799829
The packaging is collector friendly so sure, go for it.

>>281799767
Ayeka is cute, and her bitchiness like you said is over blown. She can throw the bants like the rest of them when provoked as proven by Ryoko.

>>281800052
Watching them bully each other is so hot.

Here's the whole image, btw.

I love this. It's a fan made reproduction. The original image can't be found in high definition.

>>281799754
Their quasi-sisters relationship in Tenchi Forever was entertaining and endearing. If Ayeka feels down, Ryoko cheers her, if Ryoko is down, Ayeka will cheer for her.

The Japanese CD singles all have great original artwork.

>>281800511
This the best.

Also important.

>>281801176
NO! Mihoshi is a good girl

>>281801276
Vaguely.
I never finished Tokyo, so the last thing I remember is Sakuya crying over a coffee mug after realizing she isn't real.
I also remember Sasami making friends with who I'm pretty sure is Yugi, but I can't remember why she was doing all this shit.

That's Mitsuki, a character with a convoluted backstory even for Tenchi.
So, the character originates from Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure. It's another Kajishima project, kinda like if Evangelion were filtered through Tenchi Muyo.
She's the standard Tsundere, caring but stern towards the MC and her mad scientist father.
The story of Dual canonically takes place billions of years in the past before Tenchi, on a separate but very similar Earth from our Earth.
Somehow, the souls of each of the girls pictured here resonate in the Sea of Souls or something, and manifest repeatedly in GXP, and harmonize with Seina's, whose soul is similar to that of the MC of Dual.

GXP Mitsuki's father was an admirer of Kirika's mom, Tsukiko, while she was in the GP Academy.
She didn't return is affection, and this devastated him to the point that one night, in a fit of madness, he created a robot to her specifications.
In a recognized, but poorly understood phenomenon, she gained a soul and true sentience.
Recognizing that she was not just a copy of another woman but a person unto herself, the scientist resolved to raise her as his daughter instead of a sexbot.
She joined the GP Academy a year ahead of Seina, and while out on a mission was kidnapped and killed by Tyrant Shank, the leader of the most ruthless Space Pirate Guild since Ryoko roamed the stars.(He's also responsible for Mihoshi's condition, but that's another story.
Liberated from her physical form and left as something like a Ghost in the Machine, she haunted Shank's ship's computer until Seina could rescue her.
At the same time, Shank had also kidnapped Fuku, trying to unlock the fearsome mysteries of Cabbit Technology, and managed to make several imperfect clones of her, 3 of which survived.
Mitsuki's soul got transfered into one of them, and she later learned how to transform and regain her former appearance.

>>281803810
After being rescued and returning home, she got the truth of her birth from her father, and met Tsukiko who accepted her as another daughter.
Mitsuki, along with the other two cabbits and Fuku, form one of the groups of 4 girls whose souls harmonize with Seina's and reverse his luck from nightmare to crazy good.

>>281803692
yes

>>281803810

>>281806375
I was actually lucky enough to find all 6 issues between a few different comic shops over the years. I've read them and honestly they're just okay. The art is exceptional but the story is pretty mid. Still, it's an interesting and unique piece of Tenchi history and the series has been out of print for almost 30 years.

OVA 3 is just so fucking weird. With Tenchi's dad also being part Jiriyan, they kind of just let her go senile and die

>>281807687
What the shit, I don't even remember that plot point. What a disaster.

>>281752425 (OP)
I played the Tenchi Muyo tabletop RPG once at this otakus house when I was in HS. He was absolutely insane about anime also he was super ripped for a 15 year old because he worked out and did martial arts all the time. Really intense guy.
I wonder what he does now.

>>281808066
Yah, Nobuyuke, Tenchi's dad, is part Jiriyan and also the descendent of one of Yosho's kids from his Earth marriage. It explains why Tenchi's dad is so easy going with the accumulation of women from outer space, but makes some of his other actions just not make sense

>>281808066
She joined the GP Academy, but never got the Bio-Enhancement, nor bonded with a Royal Tree, so she just kinda died in her late 200's.

I'd aim for the freckles too.

OAV3 really should have covered Washuu's extended backstory, before heading into the goddess war. Pity Kajishima didn't choose to do adapt the ShinTM novels when he had the budget to make OAV4 and 5. Would have helped to remedy some of OAV3's shortcomings. Could have called it OAV2.7, or somesuch.

It's interesting, or rather, peculiar how wildly the depiction of Ryoko's ears varies between artworks.

Never managed to find a good big version of this.

I can never get enough of the various outfits in this series.

>>281818701

That's an unfortunate truth, brother.

Just wondering are any other Ryoko lovers fans of this particular doujin?

Some really nice art work ITT.

>>281821971
Never heard of it until just now. I'll look into it.

https://e-hentai.org/g/22880/4ad703f440/

>>281819835
Awesome stuff

>>281822155
Have some more.

Idk if Sasami has feelings for Tenchi but if she does I'm pretty sure she prefers to not show them to not get between the warzone that is Ryoko and Ayeka

>>281822554
In the OVAs, yes. She joins the harem once she's old enough

>>281822212
It’s a classic, I always found the main girl Sayoko to be Ryoko-esque, the art is sooo good, and the stories are very fun, the artist had to be inspired by her because I’m pretty sure he did a few tenchi-muyo doujins when he was starting out.

>>281822554
She almost kisses him in the Pretty Sammy music video but I think it's a separate continuity from the Pretty Sammy OVA, novels or TV anime. Somehow Tenchi is an aspiring sentai show director in the TV version and she falls in love with him almost immediately but at the end it turns out he already has someone so she ends the episode crying her eyes out without understanding why.

>>281822853
This is the best everyone has ever looked and Ryoko's close-up is my favourite.
