WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO TENCHI MUYO YOU BEGGARS!
I am quite a fan of the series so far, Ryo Okhi was fantastic and Universe was comic and originally twisted. Then came the spin offs like GXP and geminar and then the plot generator decides to pass out in its own bile.
ok there is a lot to talk about. If you are new to Tenchi Muyo I reccomend to go straight to http://myanimelist.net/anime/539/Tenchi_Muyou_Ryououki
and watch the good stuff what is what many people cut their teeth into for their first anime series which is by any standards decent.

ok. Why do it in such short episodes? You
...
may have had really small slots to fill on the channel that the company was working for but god damn it 4 minutes an episode where about nearly 2 of that is the end trailer just winds up the main fanbase. The companies involved could have put so much more into this series if it was full episode length and maybe would have to get some actual plot writing done as such.
The animation quality has gone down as the series have progressed, look at the images of Tenchi Muyo Ryo Okhi, Universe, Tenchi In Tokyo and all of the movies. they hold up really well through since 1993. The art has changed and through some series I personally didn't mind. Animation technology changes and sometimes computers can help improve by increasing clarity and production. But this, these latest images of the characters are strange and unfamiliar to me who is a veteran of the series and I assume this is the same for some of the audience.
Nether the less I did like seeing the original characters get up to some of the old antics but it feels like it is bastardised. Why did this micro series go for the All Girls School of all run down story locations. Did washu want tenchi to get some panty shots and abuse from half arsed schoolgirl characters who were probably thought of in 2 minutes in a think tank with the name on the wall. "Operation virgin otaku cash grab" because this is what makes money for so many failures of anime developers these days?
Why do this to this particular franchise though? Tenchi Muyo is an icon out of most and even to those who personally don't like the series still know it for being internationally renowned. It was on Toonami even in the UK for God sake.
Tenchi Muyo was a fantastic sci-fi series that the original writers continued to make fantastic plots out of the same piece of bread dough but with a new taste and texture. I do not know if the company was forced to milk this cash cow until blood comes out of its teats or if the company just wanted to go for pure mainstream sales and think. Put Tenchi into a girls high school where we can redo all the same jokes as we do in all the other craptastic series.
I suggest you let the poor creature retire and start on something new.
Don't ruin Tenchi Muyo. Either let the series get some proper story or let it die with dignity.
