Ah the classic swimsuit competition! This episode is definitely full of fan service but not in a bad way! ^_^
The girls all participate in a swimsuit contest to win some money so they can pay for the repairs of Yagami and the docking fee. How it ends will blow you away lol!

Enjoyed this episode quite a bit. Kiyone chilling with sunglasses as a lifeguard resembled Misato Katsuragi. Given the airdates though, it's a case of a resemblance after the fact.

I have a feeling Nagi is into Ryoko, if you know what I mean...

It's a really bad idea for fugitives to enter a swimsuit contest, but given that tjese girls just shot their money making operating in the foot a few minutes prior, and Ayeka and Ryoko have egos the size of galaxies, the fanservice works 100%.

Something I like about Tenchi Muyo is that, unlike a different harem show in which all the girls would be shoehorned into a swimsuit, Washu doesn't care since she's all about dat science, and Sasami is just sweet without being used for any lolicon degeneracy.

This episode reminds me of the Beauty and the Beach episode from Pokemon.

Ahhhh, the swimsuit competition episode because why the heck not? I do appreciate that the writers made the crowd go wild for Kiyone and had Nagi win the whole thing (since neither is in the OVA canon). It's a nice touch

Fantastic episode, very enjoyable. 
Nagi is very sexy and a well-deserved winner IMO. Her relationship with Ryouko is getting pretty yandere, not that I'm complaining. I wish she was a more significant character in later instalments though.
I, for one, am somewhat disappointed we didn't get to see Sammy and Washu in swimsuits, kind of a missed opportunity though.
Finally Ryo-Okhi's mini-date with Ken-Ohki is too cute though. Really they are the best ship in more ways than one...
