Anyone else seeing an older Haruna in Kiriko’s mom? woooo1
Kinda, though honestly all these characters are pretty much thrown in left and right. I like to see new characters, but most of these are from GXP novels that have not been translated or been in an anime. I feel like these people will get like a 15 second explaination like how Airi and Tennyo were introduced in OVA 3, just a quick intro.
Though some of these characters like Seto’s new group i can see getting a quick hello and not really being in the story since they are almost just background characters. However the one that would need the indepth explaination the most would be Minami because she appeared in OVA 3 and GXP as an old woman, and now she is suddenly a young fit woman again, no reason yet, just is. OVA 4 is almost going like OVA 3, context is given in the novels and doujins, which is almost left out entirely in the anime. Though there is a way to do a story with light character explainations and be rich in story, i’m just wondering if Kajishima can do it right this time.
Good or bad, any new people watching Tenchi through OVA 4 is going to be confused about what’s going since some of the characters and story are possibly coming from the GXP novels. Though this might get people get curious enough about Tenchi to watch the previous OVA’s and other related material.
