Tenchi Muyo! OVA 3 news

[Garylisk]

We already knew it was starting production, and that they were already moving along in script writing and such, we we didn't know anything more than that.. Well now we do.
The rumors that the OVA will be focusing on the Choushin war (The war between Washu, Tsunami, and Tokimi) is true, and was confirmed a long time ago, but it's worth restating here..

The new information is that they have announced the three main staffmembers behind the show.
Original concept and Supervising Editor: Masaki Kajishima (Also was concept and Editor for Tenchi Muyo OVA 1 and 2, as well as concept, editor, and script writer for Dual: Parallel Trouble Adventure)
Director: Kenichi Yatagai (Also directed some episodes of Tenchi Muyo OVA 2 and the Macross 2 movie)
Script writer: Yosuke Kuroda (Also wrote the scripts for some episodes of Tenchi Muyo OVA 1 and 2, and was script writer for Trigun)

So yeah, look forward to it... they really have some AWESOME people working on the third OVA!

And let me restate one more thing just to keep questions at bay... Tenchi does NOT choose one of the girls in OVA3! This is CONFIRMED! There will be NO CHOICE MADE
However, it is suggested that Tenchi will choose when and if OVA 4 is made. (So yay.. Speculation can still continue I love speculation... )

Thanks gary. Well why can't they just bring back the original animators. It seems like everytime they made a series after Tenchi universe the animation quality dropped another notch. Tenchi muyo gxp while not as bad as tokyo is really really cheaply drawn. I wonder what happened?

OK well, they are probably going to have the original animation staff for the OVA.

I don't see how you can say that GXP is cheaply drawn. Not only is it full of gorgeous CG for all the space stuff, but the characters move A LOT! It's full blown eye-popping smooooooth digital animation.

As for the plot... Lots of people don't like GXP.. oh well... For those of you who are not enjoying it, wait til episode 10. If episode 10 doesn't hook you on the show, there's not much hope for you.

As for a north american release, there's no announcement yet, but everyone is figuring that Funimation has the liscense.. they just have not said yet. At AXNY, there was no official announcement, but when people asked anime reps of other companies who would be likely to try and pick it up, they said "We don't have it.. I think Funimation might have got it." so who knows.

All I can say is that after watching all 26 episodes of GXP all the way thru twice now (Raw.. but then again, I have to in order to translate heh.. some episodes I've seen in excess of 10 times du to translation...) that GXP is a good show. It's VERY FUNNY! Don't expect a serious plotline to come out too strongly unless the episode features the show's main villain, Tarant. (Who first appears in episode 10). Do expect romantic-comedy hijinks though, as a grand total of EIGHT WOMEN fight over Seina's heart ;P Oh it gets insane... INSANE I TELL YOU!

I am enjoying gxp very much !!!! Ok when they show a crowd of people they harldy bother to animate anyone else at all that's what I meant by cheap.
