Why do people hate the 3rd OVA?

I don't get the hate either, the only thing I was annoyed with was the mother revelation but I'm over it now.

I liked the fight between Tenchi and Z, that part in my opinion was boss. Animation was beautiful and LOL One more added to the harem.

Now um, I don't know why some are confused and saying a lot of this stuff was out of the blue a lot of it was foreshadowed in that Gxp episode when they all had that cameo episode.

I mean Ova 3 came out after Gxp right?

This is correct, however not all Tenchi fans watched or became familiar with GXP since it doesn't star the familiar characters.

Or they gave up and quit watching before episode 17.

I think this is a huge factor! After I watched GXP and switched to the subtitled version I enjoyed OVA 3.

I still think it doesn't come close to what OVA 1 or 2 was. But the parts where it focuses on the family I liked a lot. I think the main pit falls were the story of Mihoshi's brother being to time consuming and while I love the battle with Z I think because of the animation style it just cant compare to "We need Tenchi." I just rewatched the series and it really feels like the climax of the story was at the end of OVA 1 when it probably should have been "Z"
I still think the battle is enjoyable because we see the 3 goddesses and Kami Tenchi.
