Nagai is a much better director when he's not doing overly-serious drama. The art and animation are great, as expected. The cliched and lame fanservice at the end of the episode was dumb, though. Hopefully the show doesn't go too far in that direction and focuses on the actual character interactions.
You know, have I told you guys..., you know what, I needn't say it anymore.
Ryuu having his usual picnic.
Waver doing some
whining, but I can see where he's coming from at the same time.
With that lil' conversation the duo further takes my heart!
D'oh! Dat cliff hanger!
Quite glad I decided to pick this up in time for Season 2. Like the concept, enjoying character interactions and battles. Not bad at all, in fact, I like! I hope the overall pace picks up with more bloodshed development!

I heard pretty similar things, which is ultimately why I've decided to never buy it. I was so excited the first time I saw it on shelves, because I thought it was a rerelease of the original Tenchi. Oh well...
It had shit directing and pacing. Episodes 4 and 5 had an absolutely shit budget as well, some of the character expressions were downright offensive in how bad they were, and a bunch of shit at the end was thrown in a way that made no sense.
This could also be due to the fact that Masaki Kajishima, the series creator, wrote some books after the completion of OVA 2 but well before OVA 3 in Japan that explain a lot of this stuff called "Shin Tenchi Muyo" (no relation to Tenchi in Tokyo TV). The OVA reeked of writing and directing based on the assumption that the people watching had read this supplementary material. Unfortunately, many hadn't. Especially in the west since as far as I'm aware, these were never translated.
Since this is a theatrical project, I assume this is distinct from the original anime starting in October Urobuchi said he would be writing for. The guy's been getting a lot of work since Madoka.

Did he say it was a new TV anime starting in October, or did he say it's simply something which will be coming out in October? If the latter, it could well be this. Miyaji also put on his Twitter profile that he was working on a new anime which would be due in "June 2012 (?)" earlier on, and that turned out to be the Fuse theatrical project which is now due for Fall 2012.
