    It won’t be anyone from here, I think you’d have better chances of walking through hell trying to keep a ice creame cone in a solid state. I can’t seem to find anything through google on a team picking it up, but there’s so many and they are so scattered and independant that that really isn’t saying much.

    If it actually had Jap subs you might be able to OCR translate it, get a script, but you’re still talking about time, man power, and talent we don’t have to throw at it.

    even if it was, it’s 1 episode and I haven’t been able to find anyone that’s picked it up for subs yet.

    it’s been probably more than 10 years since I saw tokyo last… and I doubt I’d even seen el hazard by then… so eh maybe time for a rewatch. Tokyo didn’t bother me as much as most people, but Sakuya was too over the top. Haruna did it better…. kiyonesmile1

    Dual crosses over with Pretty Sammy once in the OVA, and several times in other materials including the DVD case inserts and AIC backed mangas…. so if there was anything to connect there, it’s Dual -> Pretty Sammy.

    Now since years ago, Kajishima has reintegrated Dual by way of GXP, not just the mechanoid, but also through alternate versions of Dr Sanada, Mitsuki Sanada, and Dee.

    So it’s more like:

    OVA/GXP – Dual – Pretty Sammy

    El Hazard also had cameos like posters to Pretty Sammy, I can’t recall any characters showing up in person, but there’s been a lot less there to tie it to anything Tenchi.

    Geminar has some nods to Dual in the theme or designs, after all KM himself said that Geminar was what he had originally intended Dual to be. The Bioroids, dimension hopping, mech designs, powering a robot through will, some other minor things, are related to stuff showing in Dual, but other than being connected back to the OVA again, no major connections.

    So it’d be more Geminar – OVA/GXP – Dual – Pretty Sammy.

    Tenchi Universe doesn’t have anything currently to tie it to Dual, Kiyone showing up at the end of the OVA of Dual is from Pretty Sammy, where she exists there.

    Short of increasing the filtering, you can put on new account approval by admin only, new post by admin or mod, or ideally create a limiter per forum that says you have to have over X number of posts to post in any section. So you set it to like 2, and only allow 1-2 posters to post in the introduction lounge. Then set new topics in that section to mod approval only.

    It won’t completely eliminate it, that’ll take filters, but it would limit the damage to one section which you can moderate at will.

    Some of these may take admin or Dagon level rights to change in the ACP though.

    The problem is more a power vacuum around here. There’s not enough people with the background, the skillset, and the time to pour into doing something. The novels are plentiful, but no one would want to take on that task, even though we’ve long since learned what not to do. I’m partially into 4 or 5 books trying to translate, but I’ve only gotten more burried, not less this last year, to spend the time like I used to.

    Ai wasn’t what it was cracked up to be, you’ve got a very polarized divide on those who think it was great and those that don’t. The bottom line is that it wasn’t what was needed right then to reinvigorate the franchise, and neither is OAV 4. The canon is still bull****, and will continue to be so until course corrected. That was the case before Ai and still remains so.

    A community is as I’ve preached in the past, built on the quality of it’s members. If people are tight knit and enjoy the company of others, then it doesn’t really matter if the subject that brought them together is front and center all the time or not. As we used to say, the carnival may leave for a time but it will always come back around again.

    AIC, AFC, DualFans, PWCF, Seto’s Fan, Sanctuary, Tenchiboard, Abh Nation, and many others have fallen over the years, but there is still a small community. Is it all good? No. But it’s sitll there and as long as fans exist to enjoy something, to see the good and not just the bad, there will continue to be a fan community around the world, even if it’s one person here or there.
