Ugh... Well, at least it looks better than OVA3. But that's an extremely low bar to surpass.

Ringo from the GXP novels

Not bad. Much better than OVA3 and it's closer to OVA 1 and 2.

Interesting design...

You might have noticed that Tenchi+Ryoouki is the ONLY two who is directly looking at the audience.

This is EXTREMELY rare in illustrations that contained that main females. It is standard illustration trick that you can make a female more attractive/alluring, just by making her look directly at the audience with her eyes.
There is no reason why all the other girls can't still stand in their position and yet look at the audience. Mihoshi in particular, despite being in the middle, is deliberately drawn with her looking away.

If I want to hypothesize, this is because these women are TAKEN. Tenchi hadn't married them yet, but they are his wives to be. So here we see a man showing off his harem and his harem in return, don't try to flirt with the audience. Hence the lack of eye contact.

Compare that with this War on Geminar art, where it is basically the same setup with the guy and his future harem. Note that they are all facing away from the centre but they ALL look towards the audience. See the difference? That's being flirtatious to the audience.

3 earth Masaki's from Yosho's first marriage

...

Interesting, so she is the 2nd in command of the entire Masaki Clan? As per usual, when ever possible women are put in positions of power. More older ladies for us.

...

Are you trying to imply something other than this production team being bad at drawing promo art that will attract the intended audience?

All 3 of them were at Kiyone's funeral in ova 3

>Are you trying to imply something other than this production team being bad at drawing promo art that will attract the intended audience?
I am implying that the promo art is done differently on purpose. The whole thing about drawing cute girls staring directly at the camera is like lesson 101. They know, they decided to not do it here. This is likely because the 4th OVA isn't about girls fighting over a man anymore, and the art reflect that.

I could have excused the other girls, but Mihoshi's position and how she looks away strongly imply the message of "this is not about YOU (the audience), we have a story to tell here."

The finance secretary

The CEO

The 2nd in command to the CEO

Chief of security. I wonder what's her power level?

I take it she didn't get in on last night's fuck session?

Yosho's first daughter Minaho

Tenchi ended in the 90s. Get this sorry attempt at reanimation out of here.

...

Wasn't she in GXP as well? Either way, I love the womenfolk Kajishima comes up with.

So this says Minaho is the 2nd protagonist next to Tenchi for this new story arc.

Kiriko's mother

>Wasn't she in GXP as well? Either way, I love the womenfolk Kajishima comes up with.
Kajishima loves older women. I just wish there was more anime writers who share his fetish, instead of just having a token Cake in the background.

...

Is Tenchi gonna fuck his own aunt?

...

>Is Tenchi gonna fuck his own aunt?
I am pretty sure we know about the future enough to say that he wouldn't pick up any more women we didn't know. The guy is in the process of settling down, and part of that is making sure the harem stabilise.

Hot grandma again.

Well Ayeka is his great aunt, so why the fuck not?

In ova 3 Airi and Yosho were teasing her about not finding a husband, so I think it could happen.

Wait... Did we ever seen anything about her husband? I mean, we know from supplementary material that Mihoshi's father is still around if not seen. But who impregnated Grandma?

He was willing to fuck Sasami's mom to save the galaxy, everyone is fair game

...

>In ova 3 Airi and Yosho were teasing her about not finding a husband, so I think it could happen.
It would throw off the balance of the Tenchi Harem. Better to save her for some lucky Shota of the next generation. Remember, older women, younger guys. That's the rule.


...Say, don't we have a male baby? Tao wasn't he?

...Maybe in ten years.

This kid?

>This kid?
No, he is WAY off in the future. I am talking about the baby who Washu was taking care of in the 2nd OVA season.

Why are the oldest ones like her and Seto the sexiest?

>Why are the oldest ones like her and Seto the sexiest?
Because it is the author's fetish. Of COURSE the older the women the hotter they are. That was why they are in the story. Ironic that Sasami being a loli was forced on the author to begin with. Thus instead of a token Cake, we have a token loli.

That is actually one of the three oldest beings in existence.

>That is actually one of the three oldest beings in existence.
And yet author still prefer mature bodies, so Sasami is one of the last to marry Tenchi. Seriously, he is dedicated to his fetish and we are all better off, because we really don't get enough mature women fanservice elsewhere.

What do you think the chances are of this actually being successful?

He's gonna give us /ss/ space adventures again?
I would post the webm, but desuarchive died again and fireden only goes back to last October

I read somewhere that they already have enough material for an ova 5. Here's hoping ova 4 sells enough that we won't have to wait 10 years for it.

If we're lucky ova 4 will be a hit, and aic will let Kajishima do whatever he wants.

>What do you think the chances are of this actually being successful?
War on Geminar showed that his stories still work, he just needed an anime director who would be willing to take orders.

And since the credits for the 4th OVA has Kajishima named not just creator but CHIEF DIRECTOR, shows that he is putting his foot down to make sure we don't get another Nabeshin.

Didn't ISM sell like shit though?

Given the marketing campaign from hell it was stuck with back during its debut, it's a miracle it sold anything at all. It's a showcase for how not to market your product.

How was it marketed?

How do I start this? If i want to watch the universe this new anime is going to be in what should I watch?

>How was it marketed?
Pay-per-view cable, no advertising, and worst of all, aired only once every two weeks. It was impossible to maintain threads on Sup Forums about it because people forget the show existed by the 2nd week.

And pay-per-view is NOT how most Japanese watch anime.

Basically they saved money by not buying a normal TV timeslot, but lost profits because most people don't even know the show existed.

Watch in this order

>ova 1
>ova 2
>GXP
>ova 3
>Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari

GXP takes place after ova 3, but characters that were introduced in it show up in ova 3.

Was it bi-weekly? I seem to remember it was released further apart, but my memory may be at fault. Another reason why discussion on the net was pretty much impossible was because decent rips of aired episodes were almost non-existent. Only shitty rips of bad realmedia-tier webstreams turned up if you scoured Share. As you may have guessed, no subs whatsoever. When DVDs and, with a delay of a month, BDs started to get released, western fans (the few that knew it existed) went as far as paying money to have someone sub it.

Fyi it was originally planned out and produced, as a regular weekly tv series, which ended up with 2 episodes getting stuck together into one "oav" episode. If it had aired normally on tv, I think it could have gathered quite a gathering, but alas, it never happened. The premise, the mech battles, the top tier girls, all of this would have made for a nice little success. Just look how "isekai" stories a getting lapped up by the truckload atm.

>hen DVDs and, with a delay of a month, BDs started to get released, western fans (the few that knew it existed) went as far as paying money to have someone sub it.
You are, in fact, talking to one such fan. As you might realise I have invested a lot into the Tenchi franchise and want the fandom to grow. So assume that I would be present in most Tenchi threads on Sup Forums.

I wish someone would translate the Paradise War and GXP novels.

So is Tenchi gonna fuck his super distant cousins too from Yosho's first marriage hundreds of years ago?

Isn't his dad also a descendant of Yosho? They could be his aunts.

But the author has never completed the Tenchi harem.

Sasami has never gotten impregnated yet and we haven't reached the point where Tenchi kisses Sasami and Aeka's mother and it is inevitable that Sasami and Aeka's mother is the only surviving royality in the far future after the previous Jurai Emperor passes away along with his other wife.

Sasami and Aeka's mother will eventually move in with Tenchi, too, and the author did say before that Tenchi eventually becomes more Yosho-like in appearance and moves to Jurai.

And Tenchi is younger than his aunts.

Ryo-ohki! ;.; my heart!

UNF
ewww nvm, she smokes

still looking as sexy as ever

After all these years I thought I would come to like Ayeka.

I don't, but I still like Sasami so much.

Can never be enough Ryoko.

If this OVA makes more sense than the previous ones, then the author failed.

What?
