Ai Tenchi Muyo/ Tenchi Muyo Love general information thread

Red Oni & Blue Oni, perhaps?

Oh, this is interesting; Apparently, Ukan was once a town in Okayama that merged with three other towns to make Takahashi city

and Kurihara is a city in the Miyagi prefecture

Nice. I wonder what the other two towns were.

Oh, I just watched the videos and used the print-screen technique.

It doesn’t seem like it. We’ll probably have to wait for CD’s, assuming we get any at all. I do vaguely recall talk of merch though, so it’s possible.

Here’s the first website. Looks like they’re based out of Europe but they do have an option for U.S. currency and U.S. Addresses when you try to make an account. Alternatively, you can find them on Yahoo Auctions Japan which is where I found the Sasami, Momo, and Ryoko cosplays.

You should know better than to ask such a question.

Also, Comiket’s their gathering place.

I also hope that Ai performed well enough to see another, perhaps even a continuation for it with full time episodes. I’ve seen mostly positive reviews with the negative ones pretty much being about the 4 minute show length. The idea that you said returning to story’s with the original girls sounds great, as I’m sure the reaction from the fans was well received when they appeared threw out Ai, some characters from Ai would make for some welcome appearances too if not to take to much spotlight from the originals. Still I would like to have teenage Momo brought back as a full timer especially with how ep 60 left it open with that she could still exist in Tenchi’s reality , heck I would enjoy if they added her to the Tenchi household as another girl living there and after Tenchi’s attention too Tenchismile I could see Tenchi teaching her fighting skills with the sword, much to the dismay of the others kiyonesmile1 But yes fingers crossed that Ai has performed well, if the novel’s get officially released and show dubbed for release in this country I will certainly support it and buy them. Maybe we’ll see some new merchandise lines out too like character figures.

Thanks for reading

Sounds like that would make an enjoyable plot in both parts you mentioned. I’d love to see a new in depth story featured around Ryoko and Ayeka. Though I would certainly be pleased if they brought back teenage Momo too from the sword, though I think it would be better for her to take a back seat from being the main character as in Ai and switch it with the main Tenchi girls, well Ryoko and Ayeka at least I’m sure people would also like to see more of Ryo Ohki!

Thank you for the great video, helping to draw more attention to the show. The shoutouts are also always appreciated .

I’ve added your video to the first post (with a spoiler disclaimer, naturally) and tweaked a few things to reflect the post-Ai Tenchi world we are in now. Might do a few more bits of cleanup later.

Apologies for the delay. Thank you Nil Admirari for the kind words and featuring the video on page one of this boards The video has had an overall positive reaction, a few have watched then video then left in the comment’s that there now going to go watch the show which is brilliant as that’s just what I hoped would happen Tenchismile

It takes place in its own continuity.

We actually talk about this on a couple of the Ai Tenchicast episodes if you’re into Podcasts!

Altogether a pretty fair review, all things considered. I’m glad this show is getting the attention it deserves!

its been so long since i watched Tenchi Muyo!… I kinda miss it now. Will most definitely check this series out, although the 3.5 min episodes do seem kinda weird. In other news, Tenchi Universe was my first “favorite” anime series and it stuck with me over the decades. I’ve used this screenname, with “masaki” taken from the Tenchi series for almost 15 years now. ahh, nostalgia…

Ohhh snap I really liked watching Tenchi in Tokyo and Tenchi Universe show from Toonami, I’m sure they were heavily modified for America but I loved watching every episode. Now if someone wants to bring back Outlaw Star…

Does it go completely batshit like the Ryo-ohki series did near the end? That got weird almost instantly.

I didn’t like that it was short episodes… other than that it was great.

And when someone complained about the art style changed to a modern style.

Have you seen the next Digimon?

Or any other anime lately?

Sorry, dude. Welcome to the future

I also liked how this person viewed the series ending as a whole.

To me, the series had a pretty solid conclusion already.

Oh, and let’s not forget this.

fuck yes! did you know that Ryoko was originally going to be Tenchi’s only love interest?

Man, all that Ai Tenchi love. Isn’t it great when people pay attention?

It wasn’t perfect, but overall you did a decent job, Kotaku comments section. http://replygif.net/i/159.gif" />

This is what I thought too about how the article was as well, it looked at it objectively then felt a little aggressive on the cons.

This line right here emphasizes what everyone is looking at but misses, there’s no “probably” about it because that was the very first fucking graphic we saw for Ai Tenchi Muyo, lol.

This show didn’t happen the way it did by accident, everyone on here knows that, so the entire point of all that is, while anyone can come in and review the show, throwing around “It failed this, it failed that”, is a bit disingenuous when the show took place between commercial breaks for other anime, and made no bones about saying it was “a nostalgic outing” in the form of a 20th anniversary celebration.

This is possibly Kajishima’s attempt to add credit to his name through, piggybacking off of Negishi’s work. Ai Tenchi Muyo was written and directed by Hiroshi Negishi, but the books on Ai are a different matter. I think I remember reading somewhere they had ousted Negishi when putting the book together.



I highly doubt it. Kajishima gets credit for the original in every derivative work.

I think so too. Original character design is what he had always been refered to.

But still, Negishi is not the author of the books. What’s up with that? Ai Tenchi was so popular, AIC wanted to cash in more ? Or was it not popular at all and the books are meant to help the failure ?

Ai did fairly well, being a tourist advertisement show for the city of Takahashi. Negishi had said in one of his twitter posts a long time ago, that he was not included in the book, although the original twitter post would help to reference if anyone can find it. Though I find it ridiculous for Kajishima to get credit for Negishi’s work, you have your doujins Kajishima, Negishi has Ai.

You can look it up!

I think the link went dead to that page linked, because I keep get re-rooted to the main page
