    Welcome back Greg! New Tenchi series is a wonderful opportunity for the Tenchi artists, isn’t it? 8-) Nice work!

    Well with this week gone, I can safely say, Ryoko is looking fine! iloveit1

    Awww yeah! (p.s. hi Greg!)

    Lookin like, as guessed, end of the week equals recap episode. Now, given their short length, one might logically think “Why? What’s the need?” Well, part of what actually allowed this series to be produced in the first place was the stipulation that it promote tourism and local culture, so the fact that the plot recaps recount the week’s plot is actually a secondary purpose to divulging trivia. (They did a good job of intertwining them, didn’t they?)

    – Episode 9 –

    Spoilers ahead, ye be warned!

    Now that we’ve been given a dose of the good stuff, i.e. the main girls, returning to the school knowing there’s over forty-something more episodes to work with was fine by me.

    What was not fine by me was how far they went with using Tenchi-ken for a lewd sexual joke. It was completely unnecessary, and had I not already been on board with Ai by this point for a number of reasons it would’ve been a deal breaker for me. I didn’t like it when Kajishima basically did the same thing in a hentai setting (caveat: explicitly, in his case), but at least in that instance he kept that level of vulgarity separate from an actual Tenchi series. 😡

    It’s not even the “vulgarity” that bugs me, and even then that’s a matter of personal preference (in fact, I quite enjoyed the various “naughty” bits of the OVA, especially during “The Night Before The Carnival”). But in this case, in a “celebration of the franchise” for long-time fans, the fact that they used what by this point is an icon of the series at large for a quick dildo joke is tantamount to sacrilege.

    Hey, I tells it like I sees it folks, because as per the course we allow others to do the same.

    On another subject, one of our “Gif Master’s” gifs stirred a thought in me:

    Just as I remembered and is to be expected, Tenchi’s a farm boy, so even though he doesn’t boast about it, he’s fairly strong in a workman’s sense. I don’t know what kinda superpower/superstrength heat these new girls are bringin to the table, but it can’t be anything worse than Tenchi’s accustomed to, which means….

    Tenchi might not have been all that unwilling of a participant during his “interrogation” encounters: Tenchi likes the bondage scene. 😳 That’s right, I said it! New series means crazy theories, after all. 😆

    First off, since I don’t toot my own horn all that often….

    “In another time, another place, Beni sits at the controls of a spaceship mere seconds from being swallowed whole by an interdimensional rift.”

    Called it (actually, rtil’s got honors I believe)

    Second, as a series “for the fans” I would say the multiple universe/timelines/dimensions/whatever it ends up being is a subtle acknowledgement that Tenchi over the years has had many wonderful incarnations, and these larger-than-life, truly timeless characters really can’t be held by one universe alone. So, as if we haven’t said it enough by now, “celebration of the franchise” blah blah blah. We’ve all waited long enough, and we’ve all bickered enough. It’s 2014: it’s time for everyone to just enjoy Tenchi again.

    & Third, OMG!!! colors2 It’s 2014 and I’m loving a new Tenchi series. I don’t wanna wake up if this is a dream. Nobody pinch me! rageblow1

    I haven’t been this happy for the last two years. I haven’t been this happy for something Tenchi-related for over four; I’d almost started to forget how it felt.

    soawesome1

    Everything from here on out is gravy: my girls (ahem, I mean, Tenchi’s girls) are back, Ryoko and Ayeka are bickering, Sasami’s there to greet Tenchi after a long workday…with the original seiyuu returning and sounding and behaving as if it were still the 1990’s, even these few minutes with them has made all these years of waiting patiently worth it. I sincerely mean it. I even “forgot” about the new designs for a while, and I saw the characters purely for who they are and always have been: it’s like linear time quickly faded away…no past, present, or future…only Tenchi as it was meant to be.

    Thanks to everyone who’s been on the ride with me *sniffle the buildup to arriving “here” has been so much fun that like everything from here on out on this romp of Tenchi-esque feelgood wrapped in a new-anime packaging we know as Ai Tenchi Muyo!, everything in the future with my fellow fans and friends is just icing on this not-always-sweet cake I call my life. I’ve already been blessed with more than I deserve. Cheers to ALL of you! (mad-scientists, princesses, GP operatives and pirates alike)

    So, the dog, the monkey and the pheasant make their move…. Tenchismile

    Boo-yah! Some action! & what a way to start things off with the two bodyguards dukin it out (still wondering if there’s more to Beni’s character than that; I think there is, but we’ll see).

    The premise has pretty much been established, factions identified, lines drawn: now for some plot, backstory and gags to fill it in. I actually wholeheartedly enjoyed this episode.*

    *Well, okay, I would have liked Mihoshi featured just a lil bit more, but grrrr they’re teasing me!

    Nicely done boss man.

    Thanks everyone for participating!

    Keep up the great work for next week!

    (If it makes you feel better, I have a hell of a workweek lined up, so let’s all work hard ‘ hang in there, yadda yadda, it’ll be worth it to come back to talk some more Tenchi!)

    Here’s a fun idea! Which Tenchi member would be who in the El-Hazard universe? mmhmm1

    Intriguing!

    I think the “snooty princesses” cancel each other out 😉

    “Lord god-Emperor” Jinnai has no equal! But the closest Tenchi-verse comparison I can think of personality-wise, on the surface (I’ll get you main character! cuz I’m so jelly!”), I’d say Seiryo? (May Katsuhiko forgive my insolence.)

    Shayla Shayla…firey personality, has a crush on main character…come on, it’s gotta be Ryoko.

    Nanami’s tough to peg: she’s got the “plain, girl-next-door” appeal of Sakuya, the fun-loving attitude of Sasami, the bashful “what makes you say we’re dating?!” demeanor of Ayeka, and like Kiyone she has a level of professional pride which causes her to lament whenever she’s gotta “do what she’s gotta’ do” to earn a buck (but she doesn’t just give up).

    I’ll save the rest and/or additional interpretations for others. *passes mic

    Sorry for the confusion. I’m connecting too many dots too quickly. Yeah, Beni’s not in charge of the science club, but seeing as how she seems to have an arrangement with the club as opposed to being merely a subordinate member, I see her more as an independent freelancer (odd, seeing as how she follows directions to the letter). I’m also connecting the dots for the opposing “teams” based entirely on rtil’s observations (which I agree with, but can’t prove at this time) that the other female in the ship with Momo in Ep 3 was Beni (I think these two have a connection to each other that’s before and beyond the school setting).

    blush1

    But isn’t this fun? We can talk, presume, make assumptions, flat-out guesses, shots-in-the-dark, crazy theories…wow, this is Who ridin the hype of a new Tenchi series, folks….
