41 up. Them just futzing around with that red robot still for whatever reason, I don't care. Meh. A short Ayeka fight scene with logs was nice.
That not actually ep 33 since recap don't count anymore?
Just saw the episode. I hope Aeka kills the useless character. :emot-commissar:

Yes, but I'm going by Anime Koi's and Chitogeksk's numbering so as not to confuse people when they look it up at those sites.
Anyway, 42 up. It might be the meaning of life, but I don't think the meaning of Tenchi Muyo is in this one. We indeed see Ayeka really has those leg marks/tattoos or whatever they are. Momo's (?) version of sword Tenchi shows up, or at least the handle anyway. Touri is still creepy towards Sasami :/ Maybe something big is coming next episode.... or it could be the same old.
A par AiTM of the last 2 weeks, continuing to be better than the first two months. But that's about it.
The best way to finish a hard day's work is a hot bath followed by a good-tasting meal. :chord:
43 up.
Sigh. Don't they know that it's Sasami that should get pervy around her Ayeka? Anything else doesn't feel right.

Why the hell they showed Ryoko's boobs and not Aeka's boobs? Booooooooooo worst episode ever.

Seriously, this. I can understand there not being much fan service of this sort involving Sasami to an extent, but if you're going to do the same for one character where it would work... do it for the others that it would work for as well.
+1 to Gaston.
The Galaxy Police are very interested in Washu for disrupting the flow of Space and Time. AI's Washu is more like the Universe's Washu. The Universe Washu was more of a mad scientist than Washu from Ryo-Ohki. Apparently, the AI Washu was doing an experiment involving Time and Space. Sometime during the experiment, the experiment will went haywire. Now, Washu is trying to undo the damage which was a result of her experiment. I have a feeling that there are two Washu involved in the series.
One of the two Washu's is the one whom Tenchi knows. The second one working with the Science Club. There seems to be two Washu's. Strangely as a result of the experiment going haywire, we may two Washus instead of one.
:really: :bomb:
starting to like this series more now :parrot:
I've seen enough Ayeka fanservice in OAVep4 (iirc), her image should be kept classy.
I don't think we're going to see any outstanding plot development the last 3 weeks. Just this last episode.... why does Yuki (tan haired Washu) feel the need to photoshop her breasts for an election at an ALL-GIRL school? Oh wait, nvm, more fanservice that can't even bother to come up with a plausible or entertaining in-universe explanation.
This week overall continued to be better, at least on ATM's level which isn't saying much. Below mediocre, not quite bad or so bad it's good, but dull. It continues to draw on past Tenchi Muyo ingredients to make a forgettable mish-mash omelette.
If next week concerns mostly more of the election and digging and what not, I expect a return to thorough dullsville.
So any Ryo-ohki yet?

46 up.
Unfortunately, Chitogesk or whatever the youtube user was, seems to have taken down all their Ai Tenchi videos, perhaps a DMCA or some such. I don't like himado.in so much, but it provides a shorter wait than Anime Koi for now just for raws.
So we're about 3/4 of the way through now. Election thing from last week is still the theme. Will likely stay the theme for 2 days in my estimate, maybe even to Thursday. If there are no flashbacks or flash forwards.
Yuki uses the same doll Gag Washu used on Dr. Clay in OAV2. No TM cast, above average episode for ATM new cast since it lacks stupidity.
47 up.
More election stuff. Lots of cheating from the one side. Seems like it will fill out the rest of the week.
Now I know that they're just trolling us! If Kajishima doesn't do something fast, I'm blaming AIC for killing the series outright and what I'm about to do is going to be the least of their worries when I get word that their dreadful goal was a success. The one thing you DON'T even try to do with an anniversary season is use it to kill the associated series outright - everyone seems to be following that memo except AIC.
With that said... reveal face down trap card!

I've long considered Tenchi Muyo a mismanaged series from what it could have been after the end of OAV2.
Just look at Negishi verse. TU Space and Time Adventures/TMiL/TMiL2/Eternal Memory and however AiTM fits in or doesn't. The man doesn't think you can tell a decent Tenchi story without it involving time travel and dimensional rift nonsense in every story.
TMiL2. DoD/MnE. TinT. Etc. And AIC doesn't think Tenchi Muyo can go on without constant Girl X overtones. AiTM outshining them all on that front.
48 up.
Pretty much a Tenchi/Momo episode. But lots of exposition. Election stuff looking likely to drag to next week.
I like Momo, I wouldn't mind seeing her and Hachiko in the main harem.
Momo is likely the main female protagonist in the series. She is a lot like Noike and Sayuka. Washu is up to something very devious. Washu wants to prevent Momo from winning the election. I am wondering what Washu is doing.
49 up.
Well, the week ended on a cliffhanger with whatever is happening with the GXP or whoever suddenly at the end.
A lot of Momo exposition at an election debate.
This was a week without Tenchi main cast girls.
2 weeks, 10 episodes left.

51 up. Chitogeksk didn't upload today, back to Himado.
I thought we'd get a fairly exciting episode today, based on the cliffhanger last week, and while a lot of things seems about to happen, a lot of exposition drags this down (as it did OAV3). Apparently Washu is causing a singularity that will eventually suck in other planets, the sun, and even the entire galaxy, I'm guessing.
Maybe tomorrow will be better, for now be satisfied with set up and some qoot Washu poses. I'm detecting some fairly juvenile humor too, which is ok. Strangely, this all feels extremely disconnected from the election business last week.
Hey they said where Tenchi lives. That clearly count as promoting tourism!
52 up.
Ok, Ryoko gets a bit of screen time in action mode and so does Washu.
But by now I'm convinced they're just throwing random stuff at a dartboard full of ideas and animating whatever gets hit.
Ukan is, omg I don't even care.
The series does reflect the course of the first Tenchi series, Ryo-Ohki, Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo. One of the producer's mistakes is not connecting the Feudal Period and Modern timelines in a flow which helps to explain the story. If there is going to be a regular series, there will have to be a minimum of three episodes to explain what's happening in the Feudal Period timeline.
The most important clue to the series is Tenchi's own sword the TENCHI. Right now, there seems to be two TENCHI swords. IF there are two TENCHI swords present, there is a time paradox. Ukan Kuriahra had express an interest in the TENCHI.

53 up.
It looks like they put aside a large part of the nonsense and it's finally time for some action. This episode has more Washu and Ryoko in it. There was one scene in it that was apt to Mihoshi's character (in a different plot) but Rui had it.
54 up.
And tomorrow, FRIDAY, WILL NOT BE A RECAP, but a real episode. STAY TUNED TOMORROW (Although I may be late posting it. Flying to inlaws, then parents.)
Today wasn't a great episode by any measure, but I do appreciate the moment when Tenchi rematerialized Momo through his sword. Some other okay moments, although that robot waving a bat around to counter the sattelite undermines any possible tension.
Note that any thought that this attempts to be an OAV continuation is out the window when Ryoko can touch a Jurain sword without repercussion here, even if it isn't sword Tenchi.
QuoteNote that any thought that this attempts to be an OAV continuation is out the window when Ryoko can touch a Jurain sword without repercussion here, even if it isn't sword Tenchi.
Maybe ... then again maybe not. Momo is a temporal castaway who first showed up 1300 years earlier. At this girls school she is in Tenchi's present time but nothing stated yet says that Momo is in her present time. The temporal rift that Tenchi is controlling and his healing of Momo in episode 54 imply that Momo might be from the future. We also have Tenchi, Ayeka and Sasami's diner conversation in an earlier episode implying that they think Momo is from the future and that they didn't want to tell her because they think she might be a related to them.
If Momo is from the future and she is related to Tenchi as his daughter, Ryoko might be coded in to the Sword/Key as a member of the royal family. The sword would not react when Ryoko picked it up if she were perceived as family. Ayeka handled the Tenchi Sword Key without any problems in the canon episodes, though she could not make it function. Ryoko's interaction with Momo's Sword Key could be on this level of access.
If that OVA continuation then where the hell are Ryo-Ohki and Noike? Shopping on Jurai?
55 is up.
Today was worth watching.
As a side note, Ryoko does get belted hard and Mihoshi arrests Washu.

This most certainly is NOT an OVA spinoff.
a) the Masaki home does not match OVA2+ continuity
b) Mihoshi has that power suit from Universe
c) the Tenchiken IS the same one from Universe/TMiL - no jewels & different hilt
d) Washu is a criminal mad scientist
e) Galaxy Police Headquarters looks like the one from TMiL
As for why there's no Ryo-ohki, that's likely to do with the original name of 'Tenchi Muyo' being Ryo-ohki. As in that's the name Kajishima & Hayashi brought 'Tenchi Muyo' to AIC as, meaning Kajishima retains a stronger copyright claim to that particular name than other pieces of 'Tenchi Muyo', that AIC had creative influence over. Much in the same way Kiyone Makibi was first created by Hasegawa for her novels, granting her a legal claim to that property. So you get Gouriki in replace Ryo-ohki and Ukan Kurihara in place of Kiyone Makibi. Simple enough... but apparently not simple enough for some to piece that together on their own, so it seems. If anything, I'd consider it a sign, as to just how pissed Kajishima had to be, that AIC dicked him over. Again. And as for Hasegawa, I doubt they even contacted her, about using Kiyone Makibi in Ai Tenchi Muyo. That'd just be another expense.
Good post. +1 from me.
AI: TENCHI MUYO hass turn to be a different series. It seems to be a composite of Ryo-Ohki, Universe, and Tenchi in Tokyo. The series does seem to take after Tenchi has graduated from collage. The series does seem to be mostly set in the present. AI did follow the course of the first three Tenchi series. It starts out mostly as a comedy. Gradually the series starts to become more serious.
One of the only problems which I have with the series is the failure to maintain a link between the Feudal Japan timeline and the Present timeline. There was the need for one episode to focus on the Feudal Japan timeline. Oddly, the year of the Feudal Japan timeline is before Yosho's arrival on Earth.
There's only one more week of this left. I'm pretty happy about that as this has felt like a slog overall and not as enjoyable as it could have been. I mean sure they're tying things together at least but the ride has been less than enjoyable to get to this point.

Ryoko is only 17 :troll:
The whole 17 thing was pretty dumb imo anyways, don't even look 17 to me.
Should have made her like 23ish, wouldn't have made much a difference but made sense with the whole raunchy persona she was pulling for a while.

Today, the anime continues to be a lot more engaging in it's final 2 weeks than it was the first 10. As you can see, this is a repeat of her first trip and fall that led to the scandal a few weeks back.
I'm left wondering what the relationship between Tenchi and Momo is... 4 more eps left to find out.
Tuesday up.
Jurain tree at the end. It's kinda hard to believe this show will end in 10.5 minutes of animation. Perhaps there will be a hard landing.
The series needs another week to make some sense. If the producers want to make a DVD of this series, they need a few more episodes. The Jurian tree belongs to Momo.
58 up.
59 up.
Well, this series is ending with a big fat pfffffffffffffffffft. First 10 weeks felt like a waste of time. The action the last week and a half should have built up to something substantial. No, I was just being stupid. AiTM lived up to it's track record.
GXP is a crown jewel compared to this, the 5 minute format combined with a plot that doesn't really go anywhere is just plain awful. I'm wondering how the hell they thought this was ever a good idea in the first place. If their intention was to promote tourism and the Tenchi franchise, they've pretty much fell flat on their faces in that regard.
Well, that was a thing. :emot-iiam:

Supersized +1 to you spudcommando. The scary thing is that there's one episode left of this garbage despite the fact that yesterday's ended in the style of a typical anime series finale (IE credits during the actual end of the episode and not in the usual style).
We know that today's episode won't be a recap because of the official site's schedule... but either way, it's up to Kajishima to save the series now. In my book AIC just proved that they plain don't care about Tenchi anymore and even went as low as to label this complete butchery as the anniversary season... even Power Rangers Super Megaforce (Which was bad for different reasons but I'll discuss that elsewhere if I feel like it) was a better anniversary season than this and that's just plain sad. :son:
Episode 60 up.
Negishi promised everything would come together at the end. Did not happen in a meaningful way. I feel this work is seriously incomplete.

Hopefully this series hasn't completely killed off the chances for a real Tenchi series in the near future, but the outlook on that to begin with was pretty depressing anyways...
And that last episode.... :emot-commissar: Why do they even bother?
I find this image a bit disturbing....
(http://s18.postimg.org/9g5syk27t/screenshot_20141226_160258.png)
Does this mean the Hachiko that was attracted to Momo was some 50 year old peasant from Feudal Japan when she was like a 9 year old form? And what does this say about Hachiko shifting his/her attraction to Tenchi so fast? And what does it mean this group is in peasant japan but all 3 are as girls in modern Japan?
I don't even wanna know!!!!!! >.<
Thank you for one last turd in the punch bowl, Negishi! On my second favorite new character in the show no less!!! :sotw:
I could Negishit out a fanfic of my own, and it'd still be better than this turd. :fuck:
Now to just wait on a batch torrent, then i'll probably watch it in one go.
Well at least Mihoshi has normal clothes in the final episode.
I know that this is like swearing in church, but I actually liked the last few episodes considerably better than the previous ones. It started to almost get back to Negishi's Tenchi Universe quality at the end.
I have to agree that this series ended badly. Nothing was clarified about the relationship or connection that Momo has with Tenchi. It ended in a troupe of "it was all a dream" kind of thing involving time travel.
The last episode added NOTHING to the story, it explained even less. We don't even know if Momo was from the same dimension as Tenchi.
