| I hadn’t heard about this until the “related series” alert i got here on MAL. As a long-time Tenchi fan that makes me sad, firstly cuz there doesn’t seem to be much (if any) buzz, and also cuz maybe it means i just stopped being on the lookout for new content. We still need you Tenchi, i swear! 🥺 |

| Amidst a sea of disinterested mehs from fans who don't care anymore, the #1 most emotional response has been discovered: bledsoe60 said: (I am actually laughing out loud.)This is the literal worst harem anime I've ever watched, I'm honestly upset that they are making more, I thought I was done with this garbage long ago Yeah, I'm looking forward to it more than I ever was to OVA 4 :) nDroae said: Copied from a post I wrote on ANN: "Just a wishful thought, Tenchi teaching his child(ren) about their Juraiian heritage and passing on the legacy would be a great thing to see, regardless of its place within a novel narrative I know nothing about." nDroae said: TheKing528 said: Just give Tenchi the harem ending he deserves already! You wanna know? Here's what to expect, from what I've read by those familiar with the books, via posts on UselessTenchi.org and Anime News Network: Here's an interesting post by AstroNerdBoy: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=5177249#5177249 Well, even for a Tenchi fan like myself, OVA 4 was a tough slog. I've seen summaries of the GXP novels, but short of reading them myself, a lot of what was discussed in OVA 4 that related to the GXP novels was just babble to me. For Japanese fans, it was great stuff that filled in some gaps in the story or otherwise made things better in terms of lore. OVA 5 may be better though. I don't think OVA 4 was really what Kajishima-sensei wanted AIC to produce. He's been publishing his color storyboard "-IF-" doujinshi series, which basically is the story he wanted to tell. I think the financially troubled AIC didn't want to commit to that kind of project, so Kajishima-sensei just did Nobuyuki's wedding and an info-dump on why Kenshi had to go to Geminar (and the impact of events in Geminar on Jurai and Earth). OVA 5 is more in line with what Kajishima-sensei originally wanted to do. But it will piss off those who didn't want to accept |
| WE ARE STILL HERE,HYYYPEEEE!!!!!! |
| Just tell me there's actually gonna be Tenchi in Tenchi Muyo OVA 5? Unlike OVA 4 which left me going "This makes no sense to my American mind. What did I miss" I just want one of two things: Tenchi making a choice Tenchi learning to control his Light Hawk Wings |
| I'm very excited to see this. I've been a huge Tenchi Muyo fan since the beginning and I'm still am! I can't wait to see more of Washu and Tenchi. |

Everyone stood around talking about characters from the spin-off series. The main characters barely exist in that OVA |
 |
| New promo image expands to NOT show Tenchi but instead show best girl Kiriko from best spinoff GXP (suck it overrated Geminar wooooo~) https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-08-08/5th-tenchi-muyo-ryo-ohki-ova-season-reveals-more-cast-staff/.149876 broodo said: Tenchi learning to control his Light Hawk Wings Yeah, I don't think he'll be fighting anything after reading this; seems the writers of the OVA universe have ruined him as an action hero: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=5177695#5177695 SNR: "The kami side of Tenchi is now the most powerful thing in existence. I think the 3 goddesses and the counter-actor thing are at a lower dimensionality or whatever they would call it. Besides showing Tenchi grow into his kami-self, there isn't anything that can legitimately challenge him, right? Maybe that's why they switched to the spinoff series." Spastic Minnow: "Yes, I think that's why the focus move to others. Tenchi is just too powerful. He doesn't understand his abilities but if he's attacked- he should be able to stop anything." That doesn't mean it has to be like OVA 4, but we'll see :P nDroae said: Episode outline: • Women having committee meeting • Women having committee meeting in bikinis • Women having committee meeting naked • Women having committee meeting in sleepwear |
There's hype from me, because there bringing back my favorite girl from Tenchi GXP, Kiriko Masaki |
 |
| i dunno what to feel anymore. But yeah, more tenchi stuff that i will hoard on my cloud hahaha |
| hana ga saita yo |
| Whats the point of another tenchi series without ayeka fighting ryoko over tenchi? |
| :v |
| I got tired of watching them fight 18 years ago. I'd rather see how things are a decade or so after OVA 4, which is what this will be. |
| Just finished ova 4, and i was like, what the hell is this even. First time i tried to follow the relations route since it has so many spnoff and whatnot, and what a big mistake it was. I should have gone with release order, rather than going straight through ryououki. Anyway, i kinda want to see the next ova batch. |
| One of my favorite series, the hype is real. And contrary to popular opinion, I really like the character designs but I also love the over the top look and style of 90s anime. Everything is too soft and round now... |
 |
| I assume most of the people who care enough to criticize the designs think that the original Tenchi series' designs are better. When I saw the lady, my first thought was not "Hideous!" but rather, "Ah, another weird-looking space person." Tenchi has had weird-looking space people coming to visit since OVA 2. :D https://tenchi.fandom.com/wiki/Seiryo_Tennan plutomutt said: Everything is too soft and round now... During a group watch/rewatch of the first OVA early this year, this was one of my high IQ analyses: We (the same three guys) recently watched AIC's first El-Hazard OVA series for the first time, and I noticed its protagonist was noticeably both less round-faced and prettier than Tenchi... (the latter becomes essential to the plot) |

| OVA release starts next season (Winter 2020). I assume it'll be another gradual release like OVA 4. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-10-08/5th-tenchi-muyo-ova-season-reveals-more-cast-ending-song-artist-winter-2020-debut/.152003 Ryoka Yuzuki has joined the cast as the new character Jovia Jovis (romanization not official, character seen left in visual) Jovis is a sorcerer that dubs herself as "eternally 17 years old." Her beauty belies her perverted nature, and she treats Kenshi and Ryo-Ohki as playthings. |
| PV confirms 6-episode length and release schedule ending May 2021. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-11-01/5th-tenchi-muyo-ova-season-promo-video-reveals-6-volume-length/.152862 |

MichaelJackson said: Whats the point of another tenchi series without ayeka fighting ryoko over tenchi? MichaelJackson said: that trailer looks like more and more boring family reunions, instead of 90s harem fun dynamics. They should let that franchise die. Okay, you don't want to see Tenchi grow up and settle down and start a family. You want the zero-progress frozen time of a typical newspaper comic strip. That's fine. But they should do what I want instead. ;) From the OVA 4 episode 1 thread: nDroae said: But isn't this The Franchise That Never Gives You What You Want? Savasvania said: I really enjoyed the series that I have seen but this may be a little too much imo. It's just past its prime and feels like it's being milked at this point. Who knows though, could be good. The novel readers know, I guess. That sentiment is nothing new with Tenchi - fans of the original OVAs felt Tenchi Universe was a shallower and generally worse version, and fans of both hated Tenchi in Tokyo. Tenchi Muyo GXP was an easy target to label as "milking," because it used the Tenchi name but didn't even have Tenchi in it. (Yet I liked it more than a lot of titles that did have Tenchi as main character.) OVA 3 turned a lot of people off, and I think a lot of fans in the west regarded the franchise as a lost cause even before OVA 4 happened. Not being excited for OVA 5 at all is the default, expected reaction. |

Not being excited for OVA 5 at all is the default, expected reaction. You call that a progression? If I wanted to see an anime about a man settling down and starting his own family, I´d probably rewatch Usagi drop anime. Tenchi muyo does it in the most boring and awful way. Cobbler should stick to his last. |
| :v |
| @MichaelJackson I call that "closure." The idea that anyone could actually want Tenchi to never settle down is so absurd that I'm not sure I can even comprehend it. That desire absolutely goes against what I've wanted from my first anime for two decades. Sorry for your loss of potential entertainment, I guess? |
| They really need to stop with this series. I watched the first ova of it and detested the shit out of it. Please no more of these crybaby characters and that mary sue crybaby little 9 year old girl that cries over an acquaintance she barely even spent time with leaving in the night of the carnival episode instead of holding back her emotions she's way too emotional. Just fucking end already, go home Tenchi you bland ass motherfucker. And grow up already you damn characters, it's 201freaking9!!! |
| Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing! Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds. |
| This comes out tomorrow, and from the trailer it looks atrocious. Please don't tell me Tenchi married anyone but Ryoko or Ayeka and made them his co-wives. I'll SCREEEEEEM! I swear to God if Tenchi just married some random space person and Ayeka and Ryoko are just chilling like, "Cool", OMG. But I think that's what we're going to get. Sometimes an author should just lose control of their universe. I like OVA 3 characters but please somebody adapt a real series. Just a cour, and end this thing. |
| In the end, as I think the early trailer may have suggested by showing Sasami still young, the more optimistic novel-readers were wrong about the child in the poster being Tenchi's; it's actually Kenshi. Well, that's a big disappointment. I couldn't tell whether Tenchi was married or not, so I assume not. Maybe the anime will get there someday, but now I wish the readers hadn't created that expectation. On the other hand, it's great to see Kiriko after her wedding to Seina. Now I'm most looking forward to seeing more of her in the remaining five episodes, unless there are any developments coming with Tenchi. I hope Seina's other wives show up too. |
| @MinuteBracelet Geminar was the first anime I ever picked up during its Japanese release, but I stopped watching it halfway through and didn't finish it until five or six years later. Nice girls, dull show. I'm far from the only one who feels that way; it's just another case of a divided fanbase. If Geminar fans are excited to see more of that kid, good for them. |
| It was a really nice surprise earlier today, seeing ANN report that Seina's other wives and Kikuko Inoue will be joining. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-03-19/5th-tenchi-muyo-ova-season-casts-kikuko-inoue-aya-hisakawa-nana-mizuki-mariko-suzuki/.157668 But just now I looked at one of the linked sources.... https://mantan-web.jp/photo/20200319dog00m200009000c.html?page=002 What am I looking at?  Is that Sasami? Yeah. That's Sasami. Are we getting another time jump!? And aaaall the hype comes flooding right back in. If it's after a time jump that big, go ahead and sit around tables talking all you want. EDIT: Got too excited and neglected to even look at the rest of the pictures at the same source.
