What's the fucking watch order to this?
What's the fucking watch order to this?
Yes.
GXP? or the main series?
Main series.
OVA 1-3
Tenchi universe
Tenchi movies
after that it's upto you
Tenchi in tokyo is abysmal but if you want more tenchi, it's there.
Wow, that was extremely fast. Thanks, mate.
Make sure to watch war on geminar because it's probably the best tenchi spin off
Why would you want to watch this generic piece of shit????
Thanks, bros. I'll check it out.
fpbp
Someone that has read the novels please explain OVA 5. Nobuyuki's new wife is actually an alien or some shit that Tenchi's mom saved, but who or what is her sister?
How do you go from this
To this
They're all in different universes like Digimon so other than the OVAs (and GXP and Geminar but those are spin-offs) they can be watched however you like
He's at least 20-25 years older in the second pic.
OVA 1-2
Tenchi GPX
OVA 3
Tenchi universe
Tenchi movies
What was broadcast on Toonami and most Americans know as "Tenchi Muyo" was the first two OVAs, plus a bonus episode in between them. This is 13 episodes, the centerpoint episode being double length. After a decade plus in hiatus, a 7 episode continuation of this plot came out, OVA 3, typically called Tenchi Muyo: Ryo Ohki. A fourth OVA happened in 2016 and OVA 5 is happening now.
That's the main canon.
There's two canon spinoffs, GXP (Galaxy Police) and War on Geminar. Both are completely fucking awful, like truly remarkably bad shows, especially War on Geminar, which might be the worst anime I've ever seen start to finish. They're BARELY related to canon though so just skip them.
Everything else is non-canon. Magical Girl Pretty Sammy is a 3-episode OVA from the 90s that's really good, it was a way-ahead-of-its-time satire on magical girl shows. Tenchi Universe is a decent but unremarkable TV reboot of the main shoot; inferior but it has a few good unique episodes. Tenchi in Tokyo has a few moments but it's mostly bad. Ai Tenchi is garbage, it feels like they grafted Tenchi onto an unrelated harem show to try to salvage it from failing.
All the movies are actually pretty good but they're related to spinoffs, not the original OVA.
Just watch them all and put the pieces together later
>They're BARELY related to canon though so just skip them.
Actually
>Kenshi's mom Reha, was a artificial human from Geminar with a mission to get knocked up so her kid can fight the war on her homeworld
>Tenchi's mother adopted her
>She marries Tenchi's dad later
>Gives birth to Kenshi
>OVA 5 takes place
>Kenshi gets sent to Geminar
It's all part of the same on going story. I'd say Dual is the series that's barely canon
user, if OP skips GXP, OVA 5 is going to make even less sense
He is actually a little over 200
Skip all of Tenchi in Tokyo except the Ryoko date episode.
This. That's the only thing that series is good for
There's also Dual! and Photon that drops a lot of hints that they are in the same multiverse as the OVAs
Do yourself a favor and watch El Hazzard and Photon the Idiot Adventures while you're at it. If you like all of that it means you're an early AIC-fag and should watch pretty much everything they made through 2002 or so.
Watch the OVA 1-3 or Universe + The two movies (Tenchi in Love and Tenchi Forever).
After that, you decide if you want to continue with the rest of the OVA continuity and the other spin offs. Universe concludes with Tenchi Forever.
Idiot-mind
Ryoko-date-brofist
This. Probably the best thing of Tokyo, that and the opening.
Most of the issues in the movies wouldn't have been a problem if Yosho stopped fucking around with girls.
>There's two canon spinoffs, GXP (Galaxy Police) and War on Geminar. Both are completely fucking great, like truly remarkably great shows, especially War on Geminar, which might be the best anime I've ever seen start to finish.
ftfy
Only in Forever with Haruna. Tenchi in Love is completely about Achika and Nobuyuki Masaki.
>200 years old
I think that's Yosho, Tenchi's granddad. Pic is Noboyuki, Tenchi's dad, who is still a basic human.
does photon take place in the same universe as tenchi?
Tenchi in Tokyo wasn't THAT bad. Seeing it again all these years later made me appreciate it more after the last couple of seasons of Ryo-Ohki missed the mark. I did not care for the 3rd OVA honestly. Not enough of the main girls.
I'm pretty sure it does
Don't forget daughter of Darkness
Nobuyuki is actually Jurian as well because everyone in this goddamn series is related to one another. I think only Ryoko and Mihoshi are the only ones not related to Tenchi and even then, they're both children/decendant of Washu
What's the single best piece of the Tenchi franchise?
The doujinshi
easy. Universe.
Is Tenchi the most powerful harem lead in anime?
