Masquerade (and those) who cares, might not be the same dimension



https://tenchi.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline

yeah honestly masquerade is likely out of canon because of the parent game attention fragile/ watch out boy being cancled but it was supposed to be a sister series to tenchi hence the name Waremono Choi. the closest we ever got was gap ⭐ p. which might as well also be not in canon sicne none of us know or care whats in it

Photon's time frame is unknown.
I like Eff's theory (I forget if he's said it came from elsewhere) that Photon's Earth/Sandy Planet/Geminar created the Earth of Dual when the Anti-Aho Generator was running and seemingly made some parallel worlds before Photon turned it off.
So that would place it as just about the earliest thing in the chronology. Then Tokimi goes all wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey with that Universe- putting it on fast-forward or slow-time according to her whims.

Agga Ruter makes reference of the Great Prehistoric Civilization (which begins with Duel) and implies that Kei is an ancient robot of the "Precursor Civilization" that collapsed before Duel, and is related to Zero. Basically, Shiunk is doing the same thing Kagato was doing, looking for the powerful remnants of the civilization... but with the more modest means of just getting some kick-ass weapons. The timeline I have on the wiki has it between the time Yosho first arrives on Earth but before he contacts Kanemitsu to set up a way to send his kids to space.

Photon: The Idiot Adventures   Billions of years ago
Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure   "A Billion years ago" give or take a million years

True Tenchi Muyo! Volume 3: Washu 20,000 years ago
True Tenchi Muyo! Volume 1: Jurai mainly 725-750 years ago
True Tenchi Muyo! Volume 2: Yosho mainly 710-700 years ago

Spaceship Agga Ruter   600-700 or so years ago (but may as well be centuries before)

Masquerade (and those) who cares, might not be the same dimension

Tenchi Muyo! OVA 1    "zero year"
Tenchi Muyo! OVA 2   "year 1- first half"
Tenchi Muyo! OVA 3   "year 1- second half"
Tenchi Muyo! OVA 4   "year 2" (flashback to year -15) & "year 7"?
Tenchi GXP  Television "year 2-4"
Tenchi Muyo! OVA 5   Year 3/ Year 8-maybe retconned/erased/ Year 10- Year18
Tenchi Muyo GXP Paradise Starting "Year 6-10"?  ...uh- the way it retcons Seina going to the island and acting like it occurs before the conference/spa day/pajama-jam-jam in OVA4.4 really confuses the exact time... 
Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar   Year 18

I got caught up tonight, and I'm really struggling to care about this OVA. I don't find Tsukiko or Jovia interesting, and I don't care for all the fantasy stuff being forced in. The series has established technology that does all the things Seina and Jovia are doing with magic, so it just feels needlessly tacked on. I'm also over this point in time of the Tenchi universe. The last 3 OVAs have all taken place between Kenshi's birth and him being sent to Geminar, and I'm ready for the series to move past that.

The GXP characters I like from the anime aren't present, and as someone who hasn't read the novels, I'm not being given enough time with the novel characters here to care about them. I wish the girls based on Dual characters got a bit more to do because I love Dual and am interested in them. Tsukiko and Jovia are our Ryoko and Ayeka or Kiriko and Amane for this OVA, but I don't think they have good chemistry with Seina or each other.

Production quality has been pretty good, and this is the best animated OVA since they started making them again. So it at least has that going for it.

Aslo, I just had a thought. Is the dryad in the fantasy world inside the Kamidake the same as the one from those If doujins? In episode 4 someone said Seina was the lord of the mansion in the fantasy world, but he said the estate wasn't actually his. Something like that, I don't remember the exact wording. I'm wondering if the guy from those If doujins was there originally. I could be completely off base with this though.

nope the if nanika series has a red haired maid

I don't know if they've been very explicit about it in the anime yet, but there is a very important thing about Magic that technology has a problem with. Magic should, ultimately, be the solution to getting Kenshi back... and allowing him to go back and forth if he wants.
Do they need to spend this much time on this period?
I think it's fun. Jovia is a favorite to some. I like having her around as a punching bag.
Although they seem to have abandoned the idea of her being a purposeful reincarnation, I think she's supposed to be analogous to Kiyone Masaki. Her talking about being reorn and the audio book rehashing the same thing seems to suggest that she was reborn to fill the gap in the universe left by Kiyone's death... Somehow the universe needs a super obnoxious quasi-sadist.

The Kinematics site has now been updated with pictures and a synopsis of the final episode that covers the pirate kids arriving and seems to end with Shou's arrival. The title, for once, seems straight forward: "Welcome to Paradise."

One thing missing. Any hint of a "shadowy antagonist"... you know, the one from the preview image.
So, I am pretty sure that the "shadow figure WAS supposed to be Mirei, but her hair design was changed slightly, giving her the long hair in the back, and now it doesn't match her final design.

Too bad, I do sort of wish it had at least asmall antagonist.
The only other person I could think it could possibly be would be Palty's mother- she's definitely a "villain." Although not well done in PW, she is a character who has done enough evil to be hated.
