I don't remember this show..

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Any new bumpers? Have they made mention to why they are doing this? Or is it basically just a flashback thing?

I was wondering about this, where it fit into the "canon" of Toonami since it traditionally has held that part of itself pretty strictly. Might be a flashback, or Tom 3 and Tom 4 could be completely different people (I hope that's the case...) since they never did explain how 3 became 4, lost the Absolution and Sara, and gained those two other dorkwad robots.

Maybe the real Tom has been cruising space all this time with Sara on the Absolution...



Also there have been a couple new voiceovers, no new "footage" for the bumps I believe. As for why, it's an April Fools joke. Whether it becomes anything more than that is up to CN or AS.

I REALLY hated how there was absolutely no build up to this episode.

Spoiler

At the end of episode five, everyone is laughing and happy. Then suddenly, we're at the end of the final battle and half of Earth is gone. No build up AT ALL.

Also, this is the ONLY action sequence in the entire OVA. I wish I never watched OVA 3. Horrible.

 

[Edgeward]

This is not the tenchi I liked. =(

 

[Big Baybee]

This shit cray!

 

[Tawney Bomb]

This makes me want to spend stupid amounts of $$$ on anime....

 

[EYEL1NER]

Never cared for Tenchi, but my body is ready!

So glad I decided to sleep until 9PM. Won't be tired until at least noon tomorrow.

 

[ReiGun]

Washu!

Which Tenchi was this?

 

[PorkChopSandwiches]

wasnt this the only tenchi they showed on toonami?

 

[Htown]

what the fuck am i even watching

 

[The Last Wizard]

Why couldn't we get tenchi muyo, I'd even take in Tokyo...

 

[Bladenic]

I have to go to sleep since I'm going back to school tomorrow, but I looked up Toonami and the programming on Wikipedia and I think I transported back to fifth grade and middle school. Sigh, nostalgia wave total ((((

 

[Lebron]

This is shit Tenchi, they chose poorly

 

[Tamanon]

Wait....was this ever actually shown? I saw Ryo-Ohki, guess this was a newer series.

 

[Prologue]

Cant believe I missed the dbz show

 

[Sub_Level]

AND THEN SUDDENLY

SPACE AND SHIT

 

[Xeke]

Fuck this I want classic Tenchi.

 

[Edgeward]

This makes me want to spend stupid amounts of $$$ on anime....

I'm currently looking at the Outlaw Star dvd collection. So close to buying it.

 

[kai3345]

I never watched Tenchi Muyo

 

[shadyspace]

You really don't think that it could be successful on Saturday nights at least? I think the audience is there.

This? Exactly this? Airing old reruns for the nostalgia vote? Yeah, maybe. I was getting more at "Toonami for a new generation" with new shows aimed at the same demographic they were hitting in the 90s. Would never work today.

 

[Knux-Future]

Having never watched Tenchi before....

what in the fuck is going on...lol

 

[Strike]

I don't remember this Tenchi.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki. This never aired on CN.

 

[bobbychalkers]

I don't remember a damn thing about Tenchi Muyo. I just remember that he was an intergalactic player.

 

[B.K.]

Which Tenchi was this?

Tench Muyo OVA 3.

wasnt this the only tenchi they showed on toonami?

NO. OVAs 1, 2, Universe, and Tenchi in Tokyo were all on Toonami.

 

[Evening Musuko]

I just set my DVR to record the West Coast feed. If I wasn't working in the morning I'd watch it live right now.


You think with the all the positive responses this is getting they'd actually bring back Toonami?
Probably not, right?

 

[Elfforkusu]

:lol, this is bad.

My memory of Tenchi is that there were a bunch of parallel series brought over. The first 2 were good, the rest were not.

 

[Moaradin]

Never seen this one, but why is the English Dub so shit?

 

[LongDongJunon]

okay what the hell am I watching

Spoiler

tenchi in tokyo pls

 

[ImLibo]

Classic Tenchi would've been better,but i'll take this.

 

[daffy]

Tenchi sounds like an out of work Steve Carell :|

 

[Cloudius12]

fucking Jupiter lol

this dub...

 

[Izick]

This? Exactly this? Airing old reruns for the nostalgia vote? Yeah, maybe. I was getting more at "Toonami for a new generation" with new shows aimed at the same demographic they were hitting in the 90s. Would never work today.

I don't know. Maybe that could work. Not sure why kids would be so much different today then we were back in the 90's and early 2000's.

 

[Junie12]

This show is kind of trippy, or is that the alcohol's doing...

 

[mmxzero]

Man they are doing this right with the broken promise promo and all. Here's to a ratings spike!

 

[NihonTiger90]

TimeWarner ... you fucking take notice of the goodness that is happening tonight. This is how you bring back everyone you threw away during the past 5-6 years.

 

[shadyspace]

Can you guys believe Toonami lasted all the way up to 2008? I had no idea. How the fuck was Toonami still on the air when I was 17. Blows my mind.

 

[Knux-Future]

why is that thing meowing?


lol anime.

 

[SDBurton]

Tenchi and Outlaw Star is gonna be a rough hour for me. I avoided those shows like a plague lol. Get to YYH and Rurouni Kenshin already!

Ice cold bro. Love me some Tenchi and OS.

 

[Shizzlee]

wtf is this?

 

[Tesseract]

This show is kind of trippy, or is that the alcohol's doing...

it's way out there.

 

[LordCanti]

This isn't the Tenchi Muyo all of us remember and love, for anyone still wondering what the hell it is.

Man they are doing this right with the broken promise promo and all. Here's to a ratings spike!

They did find a way to fuck this up, didn't they?

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

Should have played the fight with Kagato.

 

[EYEL1NER]

This makes me want to spend stupid amounts of $$$ on anime....

The Gundam Wing collection (box one and two) can be cheap when they are in stock on GoHastings. Especially when using promo codes. Sometimes the Hastings third party seller on Amazon has them cheap. G Gundam can be had on eBay for cheap usually.
I bought both recently and watched all of G Gundam with a buddy. So good...

 

[Levyne]

Everything in this show looks...doughy? Can't put my finger on it.

 

[Big Baybee]

Oh god, he does sound like Ray Romano. lol

 

[Seda]

havent seen any Tenchi at all...

 

[Tawney Bomb]

I'm currently looking at the Outlaw Star dvd collection. So close to buying it.

DO IT!

 

[Lonestar]

Wasn't this show about alien girls chasing after a regular kid, while all living together in a house?

 

[Elfforkusu]

wtf is this?

I have no idea. Tenchi Muyo was always incomprehensible to me.

BRING ON YUYU HAKUSHO!

 

[Hazaro]

This is so awful. Why they have to show us a troll ep?
