“T-Tenchi-kun, d-daisuki yo…”

I’m curious though, if there actually was a reboot/remake/whatever-you-wanna-call-it and it ended with let’s say, Ayeka, as the single choice for Tenchi, would you all be okay with that or is it only okay if it goes exactly as you want it to go? I am genuinely curious about this.

Anyway, those books are looking SIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!

Can’t wait to see them in glorious not-super-crappy-low-res photos!

Just my reactions to thinking about the two Qs presented xD

If you gave me the exact same story but with “moe” animation, I don’t know. It’s hard for me to take horror stuff seriously when it’s drawn too cutesy, but on the other hand I didn’t think any less of Madoka Magica for the animation. So I don’t know how I would feel xD

I’ll be honest, if they did something like that and made him end up with anyone other than Ryoko, I wouldn’t be happy. They would have to make it pretty convincing in that series that he was more suitable with another girl (if they made it that way, it’d be easier to watch). It would be really surprising though if they made a reboot and he chose a girl have it not be Ryoko. It’s not just out of fangirl or fanboy-ness towards this character(I think what Chuck was saying), but I feel there is a reason that it seems most fans prefer Ryoko(at least ones I’ve encountered). I don’t know that for a fact, though… I get the vibe that most people here prefer her, and I have an old Anime Insider mag where they were asking about favorite girl, and I know she got the majority vote, I forget the exact percentage but I am pretty sure she got 51%.

I really do sometimes think about this, why do people prefer her? It really has to be how she’s presented in the show. I must not be the only one who thinks this way, but the way Tenchi acts with the other girls or their interactions and relationships, they just don’t feel as strong as his with Ryoko’s. and I don’t know about the packaging in Japan, but doesn’t it seem that on covers of releases and stuff, if it’s him and one girl as opposed to a group shot, it’s her with Tenchi. Maybe it’s simply the fact she’s the first one we meet, but she’s also nearly always the first girl on the cover if it’s not a group shot.

Huh I wonder if I went a bit off topic xD but I was just trying to say, I’d be really surprised if it weren’t her. and having this be my favorite show and my personal absolute OTP, I would not be happy with any other ending honestly. Like JG was saying, if it were written well enough and convincing… well, personally I guess I could tolerate it. but again, I question that too because it’s the way I feel about Tenchi in Tokyo, we already have these characters and relationships established by previous series… and completely changing things? Maybe I am just a crazy Ryoko fangirl xD but I really do think there is something special in that pairing.

(oh man, I am excited for scans, too)
