#TENCHI MUYO 2018 SERIES#
Two Tenchi Muyo anime films followed Tenchi Universe, both directed by Hiroshi Negishi who handled the Universe series and made them distinctly part of their canon. Some of the more hardcore nerds might disagree with that notion, but we promise they’re wrong. Introducing new characters like the self serious Kiyone and a rival space-pirate to Ryoko named Nagi (neither of whom shacked up with Tenchi) helped distinct it from its predecessor.Īs enjoyable as this Tenchi Muyo anime series remains, what came after cinched it as the ‘best’ Tenchi canon in our eyes. Tenchi Universe took the plot from the original OVA and expanded it to a fully fleshed 26-episode show that allowed for more breazy harem hijinks and actual character development alike. Just three years after the original Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVAs dropped, AIC saw fit to make a television out of their hit video series, and despite featuring little involvement from series creator Masaki Kajishima, it worked out for them. Of course the last decade saw the manifestation of the isekai Tenchi Muyo anime War in Geminar, the only mainline Tenchi work the writer of this guide hasn’t brought themselves to watch. The film Tenchi Muyo! Daughter of Darkness shouldn’t be ignored either, a not-quite-canonical but rather charming ‘Christmas’ movie. Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki continued with a not-liked third OVA in the early 2000s, and a fourth and fifth in just the last few years, which were even less liked.Ī couple of the main canon spin-offs aren’t too bad: The early Tenchi Muyo! GXP series, directed by the notorious Shinichi Watanabe of Excel Saga fame, makes for some decent entertainment and begins incorporating the expanded light novel and dojinshi canon into animation. Fans loved Ryo-Ohki so much that AIC soon followed it up with Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki 2, some films and spin-offs following that, and an extended Tolkien-like canon via official dojinshi and light-novels which will drive you mad piecing together. Ryo-Ohki had a bevy of cute girls, some slick bubble era animation, and a still incredible early days digital-synthetic soundtrack by Seikou Nagaoka that, to simply put it, rocked. There the world would be introduced to the charmingly obnoxious space pirate Ryoko and the prissy but sweet space princess Ayeka, both of whom would fall in love with some earth-hick named Tenchi.

#TENCHI MUYO 2018 TV#
So before we get to the meat of the guide, here is a handy list you can refer to: Release Order of Tenchi Muyo: TV Series: Tenchi Muyo has seven TV series, three movies, twelve OVAs, and four specials. So strap in, as the series’ masochistic holdouts already know, it’s going to be a convoluted ride. Hard to believe, but some of that 90s sci-fi pulp is worth sifting through. That said, some do have nostalgia for its golden era, and maybe being one such nostalgic, you sought out a guide to reacquaint you to all the Tenchi Muyo! anime and then some. How advertisers and producers at AIC, the studio that owns the whole Tenchi bag, convince leagues of animators to keep cranking out new entries almost 30 years after its debute still eludes us.Īnd despite airing side by side with legends on American television, Tenchi Muyo! doesn’t enjoy 1/100th of the fanbase its broadcast neighbors continue to do so. How the Tenchi Muyo! series, with its wormy and nasally protagonist and the many, often nude, alien women surrounding him, ended up airing on Toonami, sandwiched in between Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z eludes us.
