    I’m still not sold on AoT,then again I have problems with over-hyped shows.Aside from all the fighting does it have a good plot and characters?

    The short answer to this is yes. There’s nothing earth shattering or new in AoT, in fact it has been described as a mecha anime in disguise, but its strength is not its originality, but its overall quality. Aside from your run of the mill shonen show pacing problems, e.g. battles/sequences spread over MANY episodes, and a stereotypical main character, the show is remarkably devoid of cliches and overused tropes. I genuinely enjoyed and invested in nearly all of the characters, which lead to a not inconsiderable heartbreak due to the nature of the show itself 😆 I’d say if you enjoy action/drama that is on the more violent side, you will definitely like AoT.

    It’s interesting to see the new image sporting a dual copyright symbol for “Masaki Kajishima” and “aitenchimuyo.” I’m assuming this is simply denoting that the characters and concept are Kajishima’s, as we of course already knew, and that the new show is its own entity, again nothing new here. The million dollar (or yen, maybe?) question is still to what extent, if any, Kajishima will be involved in this project. One question seems to be provisionally answered by this, and that is whether or not AIC had to give up the rights to Tenchi as part of its recent re-acquisition of itself. This seems to indicate that they still have it, which means the chances of seeing some “old hands” from the show’s past, such as Kajishima, involved in any potential shows later down the line is pretty good at this point. Make of this what you will. Regardless, we are at least getting a clearer view of how things could potentially play out for the franchise, albeit in very small bites. Thanks for the share, Dagon.

    Well, obviously I could have done what you did and flip it in post-production, but that would have led to all the Kerbals back on the home planet believing I filmed it on a sound stage…

    Fun fact: Designing the rocket, launching it, landing it, and returning it safely was a piece of cake. Getting the damn flag to face the right way ended up being impossible. Let the irony of that sink in.

    I am very excited about this! Any new Tenchi at this point is great news! Also, props to you Crazed and JG for calling this way back in your translation of 13.12!

    Brief thoughts: The fact that AIC isn’t mentioned anywhere in the articles is curious, as it lends credibility to my theory that they had to give up some of their licenses up along the way to regaining their autonomy. It will be interesting to see more info about the production group/staff. I’m especially curious to learn what Kajishima’s involvement, if any, will be. He’s apparently listed as “character creator” which seems to be analogous to his listings in the TU/TiT credits, which could indicate that he won’t be involved in the actual show. OR, it could mean that he’s going to be providing the new designs to be used. It will be very interesting to see, either way. Another thing is the format. The short episodes could mean that this will be a pure animated tourism brochure, or it could be more in the vein of Hetalia or other short series, but with a particular focus on the fun times in Takahashi city. Either way, I highly doubt this will be in the more serious style that we’ve been used to seeing in Tenchi. I’d obviously rather see a more substantial show, but if this is successful in ginning up interest in a new series, I will be ecstatic!

    Conclusions: It’s an exciting time to be a Tenchi fan! Hell, it’s a great time to be an anime fan in general. The number of announcements, news coverage, and explosive breakthroughs in this month alone has me calling it Ani-May! 😆 Anyway, I will continue to look forward to this show with hope and trepidation, but I can’t see this as anything but a win-win for tenchi fans who have waited so long to see new material on the small screen!
