It's her
I love all her weird movements, floating around, coming through walls to invade Tenchi's space. It all really works well for showing her wild personality and creating a unique sort of intimacy. The backstory bit with her watching over shota Tenchi is great for the same reason.

Ayeka

It's amazing just how constant she is as the best girl. It's funny when you re-watch the OAVs too, she's blatantly positioned as the main love interest, while Ryoko pretty much becomes a background character for most of the series after the first few episodes.

Luv me Ayeka, simple as.

Tenchi such an odd choice for Toonami desu, like I like the series but there's so many 90's/00's shows that would've been way easier to censor like The Slayers, Patlabor, Captain Tylor, the Street Fighter anime, Bubblegum Crisis, etc.They really pick the shows >>283037676

I own the complete Universe timeline, I haven't seen Tenchi since it was on TV and later that Toonami Aftermath (which is somehow still up) , I wonder how much I'll enjoy it also Ryoko is censored on the Universe DVD cover.

>>283043727
Fox Kids had the rights to air Patlabor during the early 2000s, but they never aired it in the United States, they did however air the show in Latam

>>283044071
I heard the same thing with The Slayers but it had too much to censor which is odd because it's pretty family friendly show but I guess broadcast TV it would be but on Toonami they could've air it almost completely uncut, I bet they wouldn't even censor Martina's outfit given they allow bikinis and cleavage, only thing that would really need to changed is the period.

>>283044144
period joke* allow bikinis and cleavage if it wasn't too crazy*

>>283037258
Since you mention Latam, it always bothered me that the uncensored Chilean dub of the "Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki" OVAs is lost media, you can still find the Chilean Tenchi Universe and Tenchi In Tokyo dubs uncut online, but the OVA's audio recordings were taken from the censored airings at Chilevision and the Mihoshi Special is fully lost aside from a single clip someone shared online, the first 13 episodes of the OVAs plus the Mihoshi Special aired fully uncensored on the channel ETC...TV (they even used one of the scenes missing from the Chilevision recordings on the promos (the nurse Washu scene),you can even find that promo on Youtube still), of course it was never as popular as it was in the United States but it was popular enough to be included in one of those ETC...TV VHS' which included 4 episodes of different anime series and get it's own sticker album (pic related), the channel ETC...TV probably still has the uncensored tapes (they sometimes post pics of the old VHS tapes they got for the old anime shows they used to air online), but they can't air them since Cloverway which owned the rights for Tenchi in Latam is dead since the late 2000s, I don't really care much for dubs but Ryoko's Chilean voice was pretty hot

>>283044144
Yeah, Lina's English VA said they recorded censored lines for the first 2 or so seasons, but Fox Kids never aired it, it would be cool to see just how badly Fox Kids fucked up the Opening songs

I like how Sasami is bottomless and Washu is topless.
Ayeka is just bold enough to let some underboob show, but Sasami is so shameless that she's pulled it all the way to her collarbone.

>>283051123
Washu’s breasts should be slightly bigger, in my opinion

Anyone remember how Toonami aired the show? I remember they started with the OAVs as Tenchi Muyo, can't remember if they ever finished them but I remember they were airing Tenchi Universe and all of my friends were confused. Same actors, similar animation but now everything was different.
I don't remember if they aired the movies or Tenchi in Tokyo or just advertised them. But I do remember watching I think Tenchi Muyo! GXP on the Funimation Channel
>>283051423
The Toonami edits?

>>283052485
They just aired the OVAs, Universe, and Tokyo without any context that they weren't connected.
Then they aired the last episode of OVA 3 on April Fools that one year, and GXP when it returned in full.

>>283052485
From what I could find, they aired the two OVAs, Tenchi Universe, Tenchi in Tokyo and GXP. They also had a bunch of promos narrated by Optimus Prime.

>>283052485
My friends and I loved the OVAs and liked Universe, it was easy enough to figure out that it was a sort of reshuffle of the property so there wasn't any confusion. Scooby Doo and Bugs Bunny were always jumping universes so it wasn't strange for cartoons to do that sort of thing. I quickly lost interest in In Tokyo as another reshuffle yet again playing up the most bizarre 4D love-shape drama that could be conjured. As far as I can tell my friends had similar sentiments because everyone kind of stopped talking about Tenchi after Universe unless it was to bring up how awesome Muyo and Universe were.

No one spoke about it too extensively so maybe a friend was harboring an obsession with one of the other girls, but Ryoko was really the only girl everyone talked about. She stole the hearts of my entire friend group as a cool space pirate. I was watching on the living room TV and even my parents ended up liking her.

Tenshi was never the same for me after they abandoned the Sasami-is-Tsunami story line.
That all Tenshi had to do was survive Ayaka and Ryoko's bs for six more years and then he would win a actual goddess, who could become a ship and a tree and wants to marry and have children with him.

>>283053653
And he did just that, except for the last part.
For some reason, she's the only member of the harem that doesn't have a child so far.

>>283037955
Yeah, I found it. It fixed the nu art style, too.

>>283054776
Wow, that looks much better. That’s how asses actually look when people sit.

>>283034745 (OP)
the ears look weird anon.
like sausages.

I don't get why Sasami in the OVA was so upset about being brought back to life by Tsunami. She acts like she's somehow not a person anymore but she's obviously still herself. She isn't a a copy or Tsunami pretending to be her or anything.

>>283055571
She's a kid and wasn't sure. No really that's all there was to it

>>283055571
Imposter syndrome.
True though, Tsunami went to great lengths so Sasami's mind and or soul could develop as a separate person. This put the Empire in no little jeopardy as if they had needed Tsunami to defend it, she would not have been able to answer the call

Its also ironic that while Sasami is freaking out, Tsunami tells Tenshi outright that once she and Sasami finally merge she is going to let the Sasami personality take over, "You can call me Sasami or Tsunami whichever you like." The kid is upset about not having a real 'self' and the goddess wants to give up her 'self'.
I wish though that they filmed Sasami transforming into space ship mode and fighting, with the Ryo-ohki's as her escorts.

>>283044144
With Slayers the outfits wouldn't have been considered appropriate. Maybe Lina would be OK but Naga? No way.

>>283052582
the digital bikini looks better than i thought it would, and is somehow still super slutty, how did CN even air this?

>>283056325

Nope, I watched it after school around 4-5 PM Central time

>>283056652
Really? That’s really surprising.

>>283044005
Censored Barbie Doll remake Ranma looks uncanny

>>283056325
You would be surprised at how the censorship of many shows was actually a matter of malicious compliance where they would alter things just barely to fit the requirements. Like how in sailor moon they changed the lesbians to be cousins but changed nothing about the relationship, resulting in lesbian cousins. I know there were some shows that were submitted, rejected, and resubmitted without changes, only to be accepted because the group in charge of approval was capricious and disinterested.
>>283056518
Like>>283056652
It was afternoon at first, for me between 5-6pm mountain time. Though they did end up airing it again later on at a later time slot, but that was just because Toonami changed timeslot.

That’s quite interesting to hear. I remember watching Toonami late at night.

You say this in hindsight. I wanted more Universe and at the time I was really upset with the direction the new show went. A monster of the week deal and all the comfy slice of life with the loveable character arcs were not really canon. Some new girl comes in and sticks a wedge in between the entire gang. Literally almost the same story line used in Tenchi Forever. Which I cannot remember which came first, but Tenchi Forever is what ever Tenchi Fan considered the proper end that was attached to the Universe timeline.

I have so much nostalgia for this series and hit hurts I wont have that heartfelt feel for a love story journey ever again.

>>283058288
>Literally almost the same story line used in Tenchi Forever. Which I cannot remember which came first, but Tenchi Forever is what ever Tenchi Fan considered the proper end that was attached to the Universe timeline.
Tenchi in Tokyo came first.
Yeah the plot of Forever is similar to Tenchi in Tokyo but only in a broad sense. Forever is a character study of Tenchi and also a more mature take on the harem genre, which is pretty amusing if you consider Tenchi Muyo created the genre. Tenchi Forever is for Tenchi Universe what Trust and Betrayal is for Rurouni Kenshin.
Tenchi Forever is amazing, it explores the meaning of loving as an adult man and what it means to embrace the future, Tenchi is indecisive of his romantic because he was not a proper man, his adventure through the fantasy of Haruna and with the help of Ryoko, Ayeka and Washu he changes as a person, same for Ryoko and Ayeka. The ending is perfect and it's a callback to the ending of Tenchi in Love, with Achika and Nobuyuki together.

>>283056986
There's a lot of Sasami merch but no good figures besides impossible to find garage kits sadly. I wish they made official model kits for the ships though those things are amazing. Tenchi Muyo's mechanical designs are so SO good.

Outside of Universe and maybe Pretty Sammy, they all kinda sucked.

>>283060162
I'm surprised to see /a/ come around on Universe, which was my favorite at the time when I watched it on VHS but when the cable tv toonami kids came around /a/ hated it and tried to say it wasn't "real" Tenchi. Just the constant shifting sands of contrarianism again, eh?

>>283060162
Literally the first 2 season of the OVA were peak comfy slice of life shrine caretaker/farmer life. It is a fantasy most young teenage boys dream of.

>>283060219
Tokyo was always the worst to me after my disappointment of OVA 3 and beyond. Now I value how it still kept the close bond Tenchi and Ryoko still shared.

>>283060219
Yeah, pretty much. I started with Tenchi Universe and liked it a lot. I though I was just getting more of that when I found out about Tenchi in Tokyo and was really confused and put off when that wasn't what I got. But then when I started talking to people online about Tenchi they actually liked Tokyo more than Universe.

>>283056706
I get why they do it but I think it looks weird. You can angle the camera and pose the figure in so many other ways to not have to do this.

>>283057798

Inner THOUGHTS anon, Try to pull your mind out of Mihoshi's thighs long enough to read the posts.

>>283060162
Pretty Sammy is hard carried by Pixy Misa for a lot of its runtime but damn is she entertaining. Somehow Pretty Sammy is it's own microcosm of the Tenchi Muyo continuity problem. There's the original one-off episode, the radio plays, the OVAs, the TV series, and the novels which combine the TV and OVA continuities then decides to go out on a downer ending. Then there was a failed pitch for a sequel to the tv series which had a timeskip the same length as the novels did. I would have liked to see that continued, I was pretty invested in the tv series by the end.

I was always an Universe fan, but I can understand why people don't like it compared to the OVAs. I don't share their opinion though, Universe is a great concept, same characters but reimagined in a new setting, the Universe continuity is also simple and quite strong, you have Universe then In Love and then Forever.

>>283061198
The adventures in space are my favorite part of Universe. Shame we couldn't more stuff like that in the OVA

>and this crazy bitch.
Still sad to lose her voice actress.

I *cough* acquired the entire Tenchi Muyo set of series last night and watched the 1992-3, 7 part series.

I love their weird biotechnology. I'm not going to get any explanation for any of it though am I.

>>283065054
It's techno magic. We never get much more of an explanation of it other than it works and looks cool.

>the biggest harem
Only main girls should really be counted, the rest of them would be like 1 nighters that get special permission via lottery or something and he'd be escaping after having them pass out from a massage or some other gag.

The Tenchi MC that has the ridiculous harem of main girls that keeps growing is Seina since his probability manipulation thing requires them to come in sets. Like every arc he's gathering members for a new 4-pack team. That's not even mentioning he is Seto's matchmaking toy that she can use to pair up basically anyone that isn't shacked up. It's very bizarre that the series that became the author's main focus for so long got the worst adaptation and no remake + sequels.

>>283066498

>>283055950
I doubt they would've played the movies, they didn't play the Tenchi movies, Sci Fi did.
>>283056325
They just had to edit it for a Y7 which had different standards back then that was enough, it's how Justice League got way with so much.

>>283066409
Those are kinda sad

>>283066870
Rude

>>283066590
Seina killed the Tenchi franchise. Nobody wanted an inferior Tenchi clone with an annoying bad luck gimmick. The GXP girls were also less popular than the original Tenchi girls.

>>283034770
Cute feet

>>283066409
god I would dehumanize Washū

>>283065054
Actually yes, a little bit if you read the books.

>>283034845
Teleporting her out of the bath!

OK so watched the 1994 series aaaaand, not wildly impressed.

Its got some nice slice of life and a boatload of fan-service but it was lacking in the plot and the animation was insultingly bad in places.

>>283067252
books?

reference?

>>283067440
There's three "True Tenchi" novels, focused on Ayeka's dad, Yosho, and Washu respectively.
So called "True" because there had been a few Hasegawa novels, one of which was Daughter of Darkness, the 2nd movie.
They and the GXP novels will shed some light on the subject, along with some of the Doujins Kajishima publishes that go into background details, like the particulars of Seikishi Marriage.

>>283067424
You're unimpressed because, no exaggeration, it grandfathered every harem anime and you've seen everything it innovated already. Also
>animation was insultingly bad in places
you're retarded

>>283067424
Zoomers are truly human garbage.
Do you never get tired of being called human garbage every time you make a predictably inane, stupid post, anon?

>>283034745 (OP)
I love her massive ears

>>283068167
Wouldn't older zoomers have grown up with Tenchi if they were little seeing it on TV or seeing it talk about online later while they were getting into anime? Anon the oldest zoomer almost 30.

for an anime that aired on Cartoon Network during the same programming block that DBZ did, it sure is weird how small the Tenchi Fandom is

>>283066347
I meant the goods, not the OVAs.

No bully, I know they're flat, but they are just not really aesthetically pleasing to me.
>>283056919
Those ones are fine tho.
so fine

>>283069672
it also only aired ONCE and has a very weird premise

>>283062093
Not only does she have the best voice, she’s also an attractive older lady.

>>283068132
>retarded
there was an entire seen where washu is talking to mihoshi while ryoko is in her scanning/torture equipment which is nothing but a still with a voiceover. It goes on for several minutes.

So shut your fuckwit mouth because that isn't quality and no sane person would suggest otherwise.

>>283068132
I also haven't watched harem anime before because until now, I've avoided the entire genre.

Tenchi has some bolt-ons that draw interest, like the setting and technology.

>>283071788
I'm pretty sure at least one episode was literally a radio drama first that they added animation to a year afterwards.

>>283071915
Yeah he is talking about the special which was added as a bonus on the 1994 OVAs which is the radio drama that got some still frames, its even marked as 6.5 and not as a full episode.. So yeah, that kid is retarded and don't look into stuff before opening his mouth.

Canon

>>283071845
I'm biased as a Tenchi fan, but I think most of the problems with the genre came with Love Hina, the next big harem show.

>>283073615
Love Hina is still pre 2000 era. Most of the problems came afterwards with the harems trying to copy it.

>>283071792
Cute butt

>>283064136
>Also he has sex with it

>>283065054
>I'm not going to get any explanation for any of it though am I.

It actually comes up a good bit in the manga. Which everyone should read. A few of the stories will be about how laser swords are made, where the space trees come from and stuff like that. It's honestly what the follow up OVAs should have been other than sitting around the Tenchi house waiting for new relatives to visit. Proper slice of life segments mixed with space adventures.

>>283073872
Triplets even!

>>283073922
I almost forgot there WAS a Tenchi manga!

>>283064136

It worked so they shouldve kept smoking it.

>>283056986
If he could only marry one, Sasami is the best choice.
She's the only one that both can and will do housewife stuff.
Washu is the only other one as capable, but she's also more likely to hole up in the basement for days on end, only surfacing for a hot meal or hot dicking.

Please watch tenchi GPX and Isekai KINO too

>>283076363
Maria confuses me. She's about the only girl in the Academy other than Ceres's GF who isn't trying to bone Kenshi.

>>283074557
Yes, I have all the volumes for No Need for Tenchi, and they are a pleasant continuation of the OVAs. I considered them more canon than anything from OVA 3 and beyond.

does Tenchi have a manga?

>>283060863
Her and the elf were far and away the best ones. It wasn't even close for the others.

>>283076195
>If he could only marry one,
My man, he married all of'em, Sasamy included. The 2021 OVAs were about that.

>>283078420
Yeah, it's a mix of OVAs and Universe.
Well regarded among all sides of the fanbase.

so we all agree bakamonogatari was the tenchi of the 00's and 10's right?

>>283078420
Yes

>>283080565

>>283076754
She's just looking to use him in another way

>>283081835
Yeah, she wants to get him on her team so she can set him up with Best Girl Yukine and dangle her stolen prize in front Laharsha, but it's just, unusual that despite everyone else being of the same mind, she is completely unconcerned.

>>283081790
Cute Kiyone

>>283081932
IIRC they show Maria starting to fall for Kenshi around when he saves her kingdom

>>283084517
that looks so weird with how it's supposed to be a 3d model but most of it is flat

>>283062093
Tenchi Muyo is a good example of 90s anime with interesting dub voices from an era where anime voices hadn't been standardized yet. You just don't really hear voices like hers in anime much anymore.

I think Kajishima canon is interesting
It's just that the new OVAs are too low budget and impossible to follow unless you have read GXP novels

>>283069672
The fandom was fucking massive back in the day. It was probably the biggest anime in the west in the late 90s and early 2000s.
As for DBZ, no one aside from kids actually watched it, and anime fans hated it. They considered it on par with Pokemon, as a show for kids, and didn't like its association with anime, nor all the kids that flooded into the various communities that existed back then.
It's absurd to see how much things have changed, and adults watching shit like Pokemon and DBZ is just creepy and pathetic.

>>283070598
What the fuck are you talking about? It aired over and over again for years, and before that, it was aired on the Sci-Fi channel.

>>283080565
I can't forget the time Washu made a black clone of herself

>>283049065
if you can't have Washuu as a MILF, with Ryouko you can still have her as a MiL

>>283060219
>I'm surprised to see /a/ come around on Universe
It's basically the same story as the OVAs, except that since it came out later it was able to see what worked int he OVAs and what didn't and made a more consistent story. But because of budget or just to do things different some moments are not as epic/cool/big as they were in the OVAs and some choices were just worse. It succeeds in at least being consistent.

>>283069672
It was a sci-fi japanese space adventure harem show and wasn't shōnen fighting autism and honestly it felt weird given the time slot,it was better suited for the midnight run and adultswim slots it got later though

>>283092452

I do remember people who were like this but that was the minority. It's kind of an absurd position that could only exist at that time of disconnection when someone could only watch edgy ovas and ignore that the bulk of anime is made for children and teenagers, even to the point that the negative stereotype for otaku is that they're pedophiles because they obsess over kids' shows.

Pretty much this. You couldn't go to an anime convention without seeing seeing mention of Dragon Ball. Especially with AMV Hell contests.

Why is ryoko so popular? Shes so uncouth.

>>283097882
'Cuz she's hot

>>283097912
But Ayeka mogs the fuck out of her

>>283097882
She's a pirate

Was there ever any question that she's the coolest?

Ayeka is space royalty. Probably the only higher pedigree would be washuu or tsunami

Ryoko is popular, but you almost never hear anyone talk about Ryoko

she is just cheeky

>>283097997
Who cares about royalty? Give 'em the guillotine!
Ayeka is an annoying child who's done nothing but Ryoko already has her own space pirate adventures as an adult woman you can hear about while cuddling

>>283098104
She's a weird ball of gooey masses mixed with washu and she acts kinda manish

Just like me!
>she acts kinda manish
No, men act Ryokoish

>>283098170

Yes, I like tomboys. Even though she is not categorized as a tomboy, she very much is on that spectrum.

>>283098273
If you say so, while Ayeka isn't just royalty as in has a crown and title, her family actually control a vast intergalactic empire with their blood bound technomagic. She also has manners.

>>283098339
Sounds like something that needs to be smashed apart by revolution

maybe for the best
I hate the Tenchi weds them all ending
I know it was the first Harem anime, but I honestly thought he would just choose one, or at least Ryoko AND Ayeka given Jurian traditions. So Universe had the better love story outcome.

>>283098876
IIRC it was Mihoshi

>>283098876

I hope not. Let it die. Although there is a new GXP season in the works.

>>283101419
>new gxp season
After the OVAs? Also, GXP is shit I was hoping they'd never touch it again.

>>283099629
I think Sasamy was onbe of the reasons why Tenchi delayed his marriage, the other was Washu trauma stuff that gets skipped in the OVAs.
I also would bet that if it was not by this trauma stuff she would also be the first ti get pregnant. maybe as soon as 1994 OVAs

>>283099629
wrong
ryoko and ayeka are used goods for beta tenchi
sasami is for the viewers BVC [big viewer cock]

>>283034745 (OP)
Ryoko was my favorite as a kid, but it was for her personality, I've never found her particularly attractive.

wait, tenchi canonically has sex in one of the animes?

>>283101899
I mean, he fucked the girl in Tenchi Forever technically.

>>283101478
>GXP is shit I was hoping they'd never touch it again.
I concur, but a lot of people do find charm in it. As it's own thing, but I don't care for it at all. Tenchi is a better protagonist by comparison.

>>283087567
Same energy. Her hair even reminds me of Sonic.

>>283101899
All of them... at once. But Sasami 100% got it all first because that is the goofiest outcome... then the ship got it 2nd.

>>283101899
1992 episode 7, pretty much Tenchi is having sex with Washu in the end of the episode, they just don't show it.

>>283101811
>Ryoko was my favorite as a kid,

we don't know if he did or not

"use your imagination"

>>283101899
One of the Kajishima Onsen books has him fucking Noike in the middle of the day while Sasami peeks on them.

>>283102045
You're right, I can actually see the appeal now as an adult, she is pretty sexy. I was a kid when I first saw the show, and I was more into wanting a
Ryo-Ohki stuffed toy, Ryo-Ohki being another reason I liked Ryoko best.

>>283097912
Yep

>>283102040
no, she is not. they aren't even alone in the room.

>>283102107
>>283102164
Yeah, you need to get the nuances.
Ryoko wants to get into Tenchi room to have sex with Tenchi, but Washu got there first. Ryoko even try to convince Aeka about having sex. But the "joke" is that Washu got the jump on them.

>>283102229
She was before Sasamy going in there in the end.

>>283102040
>>283102229
>Two wet fools who forgot to knock.

>>283102270
They were only using Tenchi's bed and he slept on the floor in his futon. Sasami is literally to young for any of that.

>>283102320
Watch the episode , Sasamy only goes there after having a nightmare and when she knocks on the door they hear Washu voice and Aeka and Ryoko start sweating because they understand that Washu was there alone with Tenchi in the room.

>>283097912
Ryoko is my Queen but Ayeka has got it going on to. She has definition.

>>283097933
In your dreams

>>283102313
>>283102346

>>283101126
The last couple of OVAs had no nudity at all, Ryoko was only nonspeaking cameos and the IP is partially owned by Toei now, I don't think we are getting anything more from Tenchi and I hope it remains that way, they killed any goodwill the series had left

It continued for too long, dug too deep, got way too creepy with the harem trash later on.

>>283103988
I really only like the first 6 ova and Universe.

>>283103988
>It continued for too long, dug too deep, got way too creepy with the harem trash later on.
Yeah, it was far easier to recommend the series when I was younger. Universe on it's own with the two In Love movies are still great on their own. Beyond that, I couldn't recommend it to anyone nor dare to talk about it beyond this board. Not saying it's perfect but league beyond modern anime fanservice. Tenchi Muyo's fanservice is anime-lite by comparison to what gets shuffled on main stream social media. Especially when it comes to harems.

>>283104273
>Tenchi Muyo's fanservice is anime-lite by comparison to what gets shuffled on main stream social media.
What fucking anime are you fucking watching? Most modern shit you are lucky to get ONE panty shot and a non-eye cancer shower/onsen scene while im watching a 90's show where every episode there is JS nipples with sexy music going along with it.

Shit is so fucking bland now you have to go out of your way to watch the 3 or less ecchi shows of the season to get any kind of spice.

>>283104555
>What fucking anime are you fucking watching?
Not much in the last few year or more. It is pretty bland, but most of the harem trash is self insert power fantasies LN adaptations. Plenty of fanservice that isn't just panty shots. Creep shot angels counts as fan service. Fan service is very easy to identify, and not by just revealing skin and underoos.

>>283104645
>Plenty of fanservice that isn't just panty shots.
>Creep shot angels counts as fan service.
You are fucking insane, just as an example, a harem show just aired today, and it was a bath episode! Sounds spicy, well

this, while the mc gets a full ass shot because lol

You are saying this kind of show (seinen by the way) is somehow more provocative than this >>283102761? Or are you saying this angle shot >>283099368, only one in the episode by the way, is TOO SPICY for old tenchi fans?

Notalgiafag all you like, but at least for real reasons like writing or vibes or animations or whatever, not "nooooo modern anime is TOO FANSERVICY", fucking give me a break.

I hate blatant lying and seeing it just sparks deep anger inside me, specially when there are 50+ shows airing with only 2 having the ecchi tag, less than 5%, and of course they are "incredibly" raunchy, because every other single fucking show got excessively sanitized to the Nth degree as studios bend over backwards to please this kind of "eeew fanservice" normalfaggotry and in their eyes IT STILL ISNT ENOUGH (or its just stupid or evil lies which is just as bad).

Regardless, this is offtopic and i will refrain from replying any further.

At a certain point a certain generation of kids, grew up and went to college and realized nobody was looking over their shoulders to judge what they do anymore. So they revert back to watching pokemon and eating sugary cereal for every meal again.

>>283106682
Nigger faggot, we're also talking about a franchise that offshoots away from the harem ending we got in the Ryo-Ohki timeline which is considered objectively worse by most of the fans. It adds another girl to the group dynamic no one asked for, sidelines our preestablished characters, and the slice of life stories turned into intergalactic political drama slop. Not to mention the doujins turned to a creepy direction with weird house wife dynamics.

No one wanted this.

>>283106773
Oh, no. Oh god no, the very first harem had a harem ending, what a buster...
Faggot.

Said the guy in a harem anime thread complaining about it being a harem and having a harem ending.

>when she lied to tenchi infront of everyone about being pregnant just to piss off ayeka

Goddamn, her design is so fucking S-tier. Nothing today even comes close.

Had this pinup hanging in my locker in High School in the 90's. The only good decision I ever made during that era of life.

Did anyone play the tenchi game?
I think it was on the snes but I'm not 100% sure.

Mihoshi, with an honorable mention to Lil' Washuu.

Opinions on Nagi?

>>283107892
her and ryoko having an almost bitchy ex relationship is great

>>283107946
practically canon

The rpg one? Its fun.
But I wish we got the Saturn games.
Since Saturn emulation is a thing now, maybe one day we can get them translated.

She mostly does audio book readings, but damn do I enjoy seeing her doing random convention meets with about her voicing Ryoko.

>>283108078

>>283108034

>>283107969
Yeah.
I double checked, it was on the snes.

>>283108196
I remember playing way back and its a quite well done game for snes. If you have the time I recommend emulating it and playing.

The Saturn ones are VNs, but they have original and fun stories and theres a PC FX version too, but its the quiz game, which is also basically a VN.

You should watch some classic romance, anon. Seems more like what you're looking for.

I actually played it, and I believe finished it, years ago.
From what I recall it was pretty fun, I can't see myself finishing it otherwise.
I remember thinking that Yosho had the coolest transformation.

It's criminal that Ryoko monopolized the nude scenes and Sasami didn't get a single one

>>283110106
Nice legs

>>283111839
