Welp, I almost feel sorry for Tenchi this episode. I mean, getting knocked around like that? Ha. The artwork feels different for sure but I think I can get used to it, or at least eventually..

Seems Tenchi has found himself a new challenge and it seems like this one might be harder then his adventures will all those girls around.
Not to mention the principle who sees him as a toy.
This could become interesting.

50 episodes of 4 minutes each? Wow. Couldn't they just make a 12 episodes serie of 24 minutes each?

Tenchi was unlucky for about 75% on this episode. Pantsu in the face = 25% lucky. :p

Ready to see this guy's life becoming hectic with all these girls. XD

wonder who sits in the empty seat...
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

I hate this, 4 mins it's too little.

Anyway, the art is so different, I don't feel like I'm watching Tenchi.
Currently watching everything that comes out to avoid missing something good...

NOOOOO!!!! It's a short anime? WTF? I came hoping that it was going to be a reboot or something. How the hell is this related to the 20th Anniversary?

If they are going to do 50 5 min eps, they might as well have made it into a full 12-24 ep show.

Waiting for the old characters to appear (especially Washuu) , after that I will decide if this is worth to be watched for a whole year.

Not sure if I need to watch the original series for this but it doesn't seem like much a problem at the moment.

Anyways, kinda wished they kept the character design more to how Suzuhito Yasuda's character design generally is, when I saw the new cover image, was a bit disappointed they looked so different that I had hope.

Only 4 mins? Really!? So much for getting new series. I'm disappointed, but will continue to watch for the sake of the early shows that aired on Toonami back in the 90's.

So from the looks of it, the series is pretty much Negima with Tenchi.
I'm a little disappointed that it's only 4-5 minutes long, but I can live with that.

> no prior knowledge of tenchi franchise

ugh, i hate these 4 minute shows....... 50 episodes?! wtf is the point of that? that could've easily been turned into a 1-cour show.

also the male lead's ponytail pisses me off.

4/5

Episode nice, but beyond it, one should ask: Why is a series of 24 episodii must be broken up into a 50 episodes?
The answer may be because the AIC has plenty of time to work on it, but on the other hand the user is forced to follow a series for a long time with a story too fragmented.
However, despite the flaws, I saw a pretty good job, animations, and designs of good quality and the most important thing is that this anime is a brand of Tenchi Muyo! :)
For now, my vote is 10.6!

I loved it. I think if the other Tenchi series were made today they would be similar in style and ecchiness. The downside to this show is that it is only 3 and half minutes long.You get hooked and interested and bam the ending credits roll and you are asking "Is that it,am I watching a commercial or sneak preview?".

I am hoping that whoever licenses this show repackages as a couple of hour and half long OVAs leaving out the recap episodes and uses some of the original dub cast.This is of course assuming the series is not very episodic. I do not think anyone wants to watch ending credits every 3 and half minutes.It would probably make the show enjoyable this way if it is a continuous storyline .

Stumbled upon this by missclick (while I was going to watch another Tenchi Muyô! OAV and my jaw ended on the ground at some point of those 3-4mn. Apart from the older (22years old) Tenshi, nothing makes it look like it's connected to one of the previous versions.

1/5 Absolutely uninteresting. At least, I learned what might be this guy's future (though I was expecting something like reigning or working in space)

This first episode felt pretty forced (peach girl falling on Tenchi and all of that). Let's see how it plays out though!
