That may be true but the way they kept introducing the other girls into the mix made any Ryoko/Tenchi relationship quite impossible to continue without it becoming what it became.
Simply put no matter what their plans for the series may have been,once they introduced both
Aeka and Mihoshi it could have gone no other way than the way it went.
Perhaps they should have done what was done with Mamotte Shugogetten and spent more time developing the Tenchi/Ryoko relationship before introducing Aeka.And perhaps that was the biggest fault that led to the harem problem:the introduction of the other characters too soon.
I think the whole harem ending is simply the way it’s been set up for better or for worse.Yeah,it’s a cop out but really they did paint themselves into a corner with the way things have developed over the decades since episode 1 of OVA 1.
It would be easier if say only Aeka and Ryoko were interested in Tenchi and Mihoshi and Kiyone were
partners the same way that Uranus and Neptune were in Sailor Moon for instance,and
Washu was only into Tenchi for his brain.
That would indeed make things both more interesting and simpler but again it’s just the way the whole franchise has been developing since OVA 1 and episode 1.
As I said in your other thread about OVA 4 if it were up to me it be either Aeka or Kiyone or else a
trio of Aeka,Ryoko and Kiyone and simpilfy everything.
Then again if it were up to me the whole thing would’ve ended with the final episode of
Universe.
