Ash: What should we do now, Pikachu?

Ryoko grin 😆

p.s. if you ever want advice for future, let me (or whomever you want advice from) know! I’m happy to give it out, but I never want to be too critical or throw out a bunch of suggestions if they’re unwanted.

First of all, great idea DarkPatu (oh and LL and Balls and anyone else, sorry for my ignorance). It’s just this type of positive ambitiousness that makes for a dedicated fandom.

As to why hasn’t this been previously attempted? (because you’re right DarkPatu, there’s a lot of talent in Tenchi fandom). Funny you should mention, because once upon a time, some of us members here now on the forum made plans to do just that (I’ll leave it up to the ‘editor-in-chief’ here if we’re going to elaborate on that more at this time or not) but hasn’t yet gotten off the ground. It would take alot of doing, but we have alot on our plates right now, and life kind of got in the way so to speak. It’s so wonderful that more people are independently coming to a similar conclusion.

Some answers (in no particular order) to some of your other concerns raised:

I do amateur voice acting–whether it’s ‘good’ or not is subjective and I won’t argue the point, but I will say in the few years I’ve done so on youtube I have improved! (though I don’t know if I’d be suitable for anyone in the Tenchi universe, just answering your question).

If you’d like to get in touch with TLF, don’t worry about that 😉 we’ve got them on speed dial (so since this project will be ‘in the works’ for quite some time, and is very speculative atm, plus given the fact we’re trying to reboot Tenchi Abridged, let’s hold off on approaching them with this, eh?)

And legal issues? Well, yes that’s a tricky situation. On all accounts, for that reason we technically couldn’t get the official cast members as vocal talent without the okay from certain entities (not that they’d jump at the chance anyway, lol). With other concerns, as far as using what is clearly the likeness of characters and plots associated with a series that clearly isn’t our own…well, that could be a bit of a gray area. Someone arguing in favor of upholding copyright would say ‘no’ but at the same time, it would be a small, fun, fan-made, non-profit project, so being left to the copyright holders’ discretion, we might be ok. Parody is usually a reliable safety-net, but I don’t think that’s really what we’d be dealing with here.

*note: I am a non-attorney spokesman. I am NOT offering legal advice! 😆

So yeah, in short this is a good idea, alot to work out, but something that will definitely remain on the table.
