>No Figma>No SHFiguartsWhy? Is Tenchi Muyo just too old?
>>11818119More like one of these thinks Murricans care more than Japs, like Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Stars and Akira
>>11818178We can get Luffy in NBA outfits, but no Tenchi. No taste, I tells ya
>>11818119Largely, yes. They sometimes float old properties like TM! or Dirty Pair to get something and it always falls through. Eva is the only constant no matter how much merch is produced. Look at how little Cowboy Bebop has or FLCL which were as big in the US for so long.I don't count DragonBall since that has never really stopped. Breaks, but not really dead for decades. Same with One Piece.
>>11818119It’s weird. We’ve had modern figures of older franchises like Ranma and Urasei Yatsura (mind you both had reboots not too long ago) as well as the short-lived Robotech figures of Lynn Minmay and Lisa Hayes.I hear though that Tenchi’s creator is a complete pain to work with, worse than Miyazaki, maybe licensing is the real issue?
>>11818119There's nothing sadder than the realization that toys only started to get good long after everything you cared about stopped being relevant.
>>11818332Aren't the rights to Tenchi kind of screwy anyways because of all the versions of it? Like the OVA and Universe and Tokyo are all different guys projects. And then there's the manga and movies and books.
>>11818119Hasn't really been relevant at all for twenty years and has destroyed its continuity and reputation with all the mediocre spin-offs and reboots.
>>11818119Old, borin designs, has never been that popuar, literally only a few americans still care.
>>11818119in a way I'm glad. I love all the girls so much I'd need to buy all of them.
>>11818179Basketball is more popular in Japan than Tenchi. That said im still waiting on my slam dunk figures.
>>11818415This is why I love Max Watanabe for keeping Guyver alive.
>>11818119uncslop series
>>11818178It's not that Japan doesn't care about them, it's more like Japan aren't nostalgic about old shit like Americans are.And tis isn't to say Japanese don't dwell on shit forever, because they will if they make enough money off of it (EVA, Ghibli shit, Lupin, etc), but instead they do more spin offs and sequels to the point they become shit. Techni Muyo got a ton of spin offs and the latest one was like 10 years ago. It looks nothing like old Tenchi Muyo, btw, just like some of the other spin offs.And lately, they've been doing remakes, because they got influenced and convinced by Americans of how much cheaper it is to readapt an old property.
>>11818493>hwn experience peak Ryoko
>>11818498I think Tenchi TV was also sharing a time slot with some anime that was more popular at the time. Samurai Pizza Cats had the same thing happen.
>>11818119Kajishima's modern designs look like shit. We'll never get merch of the originals again.
>>11818498>it's more like Japan aren't nostalgic about old shit like Americans are.Dragon Quest thrives on nostalgia. The Japanese are FAR worse about nostalgia. Their culture is nostalgia.
>>11818493Uncslop is ideal for cashing out with collectibles. Perfect age demographic for nostalgia with the right kind of disposable income.
>>11818498>Japan aren't nostalgic about old shit like Americans are.I know it's slowing down cause the original fans are literally dying off, but did you not know about Soul of Chogokin and competing gokin lines?
>>11818415The good news is that toys sucked back then, so there was nothing to miss out on. As for needing toys of them now, I don't think there's anything we truly need to have physically until then
>>11818753 >>11818763you guys need to continue reading, because i said this>because they will if they make enough money off of it (EVA, Ghibli shit, Lupin, etc), but instead they do more spin offs and sequels to the point they become shit.and there's there's always exceptionsAmerica is much more wanting to do nostalgia, where they just take an old property and never let it go. Even when milked dry, like He Man, they'll keep squeezing despite squirting out dust.>>11818598was it? I mean, the fact that you don't know, and the fact that tenchi muyo has had like a dozen spin offs says something about Tenchi Muyo's popularity than that other anime.
>>11818498>Japan aren't nostalgic about old shit like Americans are.Japan uses Yahoo instead of ebay.
>>11818843okay? I'm not saying that Japan throws out its junk instead of reselling it or that they don't like old shit, I'm saying that they focus on new shit more than America does, hence the dozen or so spin offs for Tenchi Muyo.someone mentioned Outlaw Star earlier and even that had a spin off.The fact that Americans dont know how popular these series actually are or that these spinoffs exist is just how foreign Japan's culture is and how we don't really understand them.... or are you saying that they're nostalgic for an ancient website? Because that's not really nostalgia, that's them just using what works instead of switching to the latest buyout of the latest buyout because everyone wants to become the newest meme.
>>11818119That's one of those cartoons that (((MODERN AUDIENCES))) would take offense to.
>>11818119don't forget no good videogamesit's sad.. by the time game graphics got good, anime stopped being so good.Including Tenchi, come to think of it. All the newer stuff has been disappointing at best. None of the energy of the original or the 2 TV series.
I think it's not even "Japan has less nostalgia for old shit" and more that the the entire reason we latched on so much is *because* they were Japanese cartoons when that kind of thing was rare. Meanwhile in Japan it's just another show in a sea of them. You'll frequently see Japanese Twitter posts that are like "the Americans are obsessed with THAT?" because it's all we got.
>>11818892yeah, nothing will ever be as special again as anime was back then>wait, cartoons can have ongoing stories?>wait, cartoons can have HOT CHICKS in conspicuously painted-on-looking bikinis? Shit, now they're in towels.>wait, cartoons can have creative scifi concepts mixed with fantasy, and not look like they were animated on the back of leftover cardboard?
>>11818892Tenchi Muyo also hit at that time when anime was really on the rise in the US. Wanna know what shows like DBZ, Sailor Moon, Tenshi Muyo, Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop and the like all had in common? They all ran on Toonami. So it was a block of shows that really introduced people here to anime, which is why so many people tend to hold those (and a few others) in such high regard.
>>11818485For real, the guy is a saint, making a shitty manlet Guyver just to make a 2.0 barely better a few years later with inflated price, why Max doesn't have a statue in Tokyo?
>>11818119The western ryoko is hotter
>>11818119>>11818415Never ever thread? NEVER EVER THREAD>>11818905For some of us Locomotion took that place
>>11818983What casting middle-aged wine aunts in your dub does to a motherfucker
>>11818999I like that she did the ad for the .. baffling revival and continuation of the even more baffling perfectly-manga-styled-despite-being-western-in-origin Tenchi Universe comics. And she hasn't missed a beat. makes me wonder why she didn't do some of the newer dubs, maybe she's too tired and has plenty of money?anyway I'd buy the shit out of a couple Tenchi figures if they were good, but I can't afford Figma/Figuarts prices. The only thing I'd buy at that price would be like... if they made a Radical Edward figure. or a new Mizuno Ami, especially in her jimjams.
If they do, I hope the Tenchi-ken, or Ryouko's beam saber, are done in NEON clear plastic, not just regular clear plastic like a lot of lazy lightsabers or lightpiped eyes.it's not hard. neon plastic. use it. it fluoresces all on its own.and since Ryouko's saber has parts floating, those parts would have to just be regular clear plastic I guess. not sure how you'd pull that off.
>>11818756it helps new mech anime is nearly nonexistant and dogshit when it does, these studios have no choice but to make the uncslop
>>11818892This is very true. Japan certainly has strong nostalgia for many shows, they're just not really the ones that made it big over here. A classic example is voltron; its was a pretty crappy, forgettable super robot show as golion, but in america it became this cultural icon and its probably still one of the top 5 most recognizable robots even decades later.
>>11819052should have known that was real. So many of the best manga guys are just drawing their neighborhood or their childhood. no wonder we can't compete. And also no wonder newer japaneses also can't really, because all those places got paved over.
>this is as good as it got
>>11819079Tenchi guys weren't just drawing backgrounds, they even had floor plans laid out so they didn't live in a Simpsons house where layouts change at random.
>>11818983RIP Disney Heroes. Best damn mobile game
>>11818119>Yaiba rebooted finally>No merch stillI just want a sword to put balls in
>>11819038They’d probably do a clear plastic entire piece and then paint translucent colors for the beam parts. Not perfect, but it’s the best they could pull off in production.
>>11818498Japan is pretty nostalgic about tons of stuff, tenchi isn't just that hughly regarded over there.
>>11819197wasnt the ending like some super crazy incest love story? or was that not canon? either way youd think the japanese would be into that type of stuff
They don't make much merch, it's dead over there. Something like YYH which is also odd, I would see regular statues on Japanese site. I just looked up Tenchi Muyo on a hobby site, the last thing they have is from 2020. I think it's a dead property over there and over here, it was never that big. Not much demand.
>>11818905>Wanna know what shows like DBZ, Sailor Moon, Tenshi Muyo, Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop and the like all had in common?They were all popular TV shows in Japan, hence being pushed onto Adult Swim in the first place.Shows like that aren't the random bullshit that anime studios push onto anime importers in order to be able to import Outlaw star or Trigun (so much horrible anime gets licensed thanks to anime companies forcing licensors to get that filler).So when Japanese people say "it's weird Americans like Cowboy Bebop" isn't because it wasn't popular in Japan, it's because it's not the much more popular Gundam Deus X Season 3 or Titty Goddess Grade School spinoff.Of course, shit like Cowboy Bebop is more well known in America thanks to beign rerun by Cartoon Network for 20 years. IT was only rerun in Japan 1 year.And because it used to take so long for an anime/manga to get released in the US, they got weirded out we liked outdated shit instead of the current shit. It's akin to how Americans used to laugh at Japanese music and fashion, becuse they were a decade behind us.
>>11819254And funny thing about the horrible anime: there was a recent bit of grass is greener on twitter because there were Japanese people floored at how readily accessible and easy to get/stream long since out of print anime was for America. Yes, things like Jungle de Ikou and Eiken are hot garbage, but you can stream it on Tubi and buy a blu ray, while in Japan that shit hasn't seen the light of day since a DVD release back in the early 2000s.
>>11819185>I just want a sword to put balls inThey released one a year ago, but they never released any more orbs that the included Thunder God one. And that sucks, be cause it was clearly designed for that (all the electronics are inside the removable orb).
>>11818905The anime boom was already in full swing years before Toonami picked up any of those shows. Gundam was probably the only one that wasn't already available on home video at the time, so it was a really big deal.
>>11818883I know it's been a few years since I had a rewatch, but I legit can't think of a single thing Tenchi did that isn't still a constant fixture of modern harem shows. >>11819135I still have that Ryouko, and she honestly almost looks okay from some angles. Only problem is her pose and stand combination feels like she's going to fall forward at any second.
>>11819434>I legit can't think of a single thing Tenchi did that isn't still a constant fixture of modern harem shows.I know incest isn’t unheard of in some harem romcoms but I think the fact that Ayeka and Sasami are both Tenchi’s paternal great-aunts and both still want to bone him (not to mention Ayeka even as a young adult still was hoping to get hitched with Yosho while she was looking for him for 700yrs) might be something zoomers couldn’t handle. Older/younger sisters in love with their brother, sure, as long as it’s just a running gag, but actual incest with blood relations might be too spicy for them. And that’s not even taking into account the fact that everyone is related to Tenchi in some technicality or another (even Nobuyuki was a distant descendant of Yosho, and thus a distant grand-nephew of his wife).As for other things that might be ‘problematic’? I dunno…Ryoko fibbing about Ryo-oki being being her and Tenchi’s love child (universe hammed it up more so than the OVA did)? The diaper changing scene in the OVA where Ryoko toyed around with Tenchi’s cousin’s baby-dick for a moment? Maybe Washu wanting a semen sample from Tenchi while ‘experimenting’ on him? That’s about all I could remember from the first set of episodes that might upset ‘modern audiences’.
>>11819101based>>11819135It was a solid figure, shame she never got anything better. >>11819434Tenchi was the progenitor of many modern anime tropes in harem animes, all of it was highly influential, not as much as Rei / Asuka were for best girl waifu culture but it is up there. It's just Tenchi's popularity burned like a supernova and fizzled out earl.
>>11819415Toonami consolidated them all into one place, where kids could easily watch them after school. It introduced many people to anime, that's why there are plenty of people who so fondly remember that handful of listed shows. They were available before that, true, but Toonami was an ease-of-entry point.
>>11819656Yeah, Toonami was huge back in the day. Fucking Tom would be more recognizable than a lot of anime characters for millennials if his design hadn't kept changing over the years.
>>11819656>>11819683Embarrassed for these uncs reminiscing over cartoon network of all things. Anime continues to innovate while the channel died and remake shows continually.
>>11819415https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prixTjWbV_8This commercial was the harbinger of a golden age of anime that lasted around 10 years, until Geneon, Bandai Entertainment and ADV Films went out of business. Tenchi was the first anime on American TV that didn't change the characters' names, conceal the fact that the story was set in Japan, or misrepresent the premise and re-edit the episodes to make them appeal to another demographic, which Sailor Moon, Teknoman, Cardcaptors and Escaflowne had all done in the preceding years.
>>11818119It was only really relevant slightly before anime became mainstream. so at best it had a couple collector figures in the mid 90s. also the series had been shit for the last 25 or so years
>>11818332The guy is just really really weird about getting his incredibly detailed deep lore 100% right without any element of change. And he refuses to give out all of it too so creators have a really hard time trying to flawlessly adapt something that a third of it is being kept from them.
>>11819303>things like Jungle de Ikou and Eiken are hot garbagegodtier shit taste
>>11818119>>11818498>>11819855The series is really just done. It was pretty cool back in 1992 as one of the fist harem series with some ridiculously intricate background lore but overall it was just another harem hijinks series. It managed to get 3 tv series, a spinoff series, 4 OAVs and 3 movies. It did alright for itself. It took being around 20 years before it started to turn to shit and the people behind it ran out of ways to keep it alive. It was a really cool early 90s high concept scifi but it's pretty much over now. It had a good run.
>>11819201No the incest stuff was very much the canon. The spinoffs dropped it. But the OAV and books stuff had Tenchi's father was another kid of his grandfather and directly related to his mother. While his grandfather was also set to marry his half sister, Tenchi also ended up marrying his somewhat great+ aunt. There is a ridiculous amount of incest in that series.>>11819415>>11819656Scifi channel did the heavy lifting a couple years earlier with their Saturday Anime block and Anime Takeover weeks in summer of 95-96.
>>11818119Wow what a boomer unc thing to say, and want.
>>11819876>Scifi channel did the heavy lifting a couple years earlier with their Saturday Anime block and Anime Takeover weeks in summer of 95-96.Sci-Fi did have run a lot of good stuff too. They ran a lot of the good 80s and 90s OVAs and movies. Though, that stuff tends to be a lot more obscure than what was aired on Toonami.A lot of those treasures can be found on YT these days.
>>11818332>RobotechWhy are you such a fag?
>>11819877Duh.
>>11819755>Tenchi was the first anime on American TV that didn't change the characters' names, conceal the fact that the story was set in Japan, or misrepresent the premise and re-edit the episodes to make them appeal to another demographicTenchi Muyo movies were already being shown on Sci Fi Channel five years earlier, plus dozens of other series and movies. The only editing you'd see would be like in Demon City Shinjuku and Project Ako with the boobies being zoomed/panned out>>11819889I think what ran on Sci Fi is only more obscure because it's older and older people are less likely to be online, gushing about what they ate this morning and reminiscing about their childhood. millenials are the ones that rememeber cartoon network more and reminisce about it like females talking about what shoes they wore as a kid at Crystal Cafe, because they've been filling up with milk substitutes and have had plastic particles in their balls since childhood.speaking which, this also deserves its own toyline, even though a lot of people want to say it wasn't popular despite the manga getting an anime movie, a second manga, plus a video game. it got this kit a couple of years ago, so there's still interest despite its age
>>11819939>The only editing you'd see would be like in Demon City Shinjuku and Project Ako with the boobies being zoomed/panned outI remember one time they put Fatal Fury on and it was a later re-airing so they had realized just how much of Mai's ass hanging out so they blurred it a little. Don't think anyone preserved that, so if you looked you can find the blink-and-you-miss-em Mai nipples even on SciFi cut at least.
>>11819699Don't get too cocky, zoomzoom. You'll be just like us soon telling gen beta about the good old days of torrenting and streaming anime, and they'll be like, "Yeah, whatever old-timer, I'm plugging in to VR to watch my interactable anime episode now in 16K."
>>11818119Disposable media with no cultural impactDragon Ball won
>>11819254>It's akin to how Americans used to laugh at Japanese music and fashion, becuse they were a decade behind us.Some friends of mine went to Japan in the 2000s and they were showing Jem and the Holograms on cable TV at the time. I visited a few years later and ALF merchandise seemed to be popular.
>>11819361Goddammit. I was just in Tokyo a few months ago and I just didnt see that in any store
>>11819989DragonBall, now there's a show that doesn't deserve the following it gets. Its the same story over and over in all its incarnations, there are no real consequences for the characters, they get in a bind and they just use a power-up out of thin air! "Oh I forgot I have this special power, I'll use it!" It's just fuel for testosterone driven man-children who lack the skills to focus their energy into something creative.
>>11819225So glad I jumped on that bunny costume Ryoko statue when it was still new. I spent about $275 shipped on it. You can't find one for less than $500 these days and the sealed copies are over $1000.
>>11820054Consider this: it's successful because normies have shit taste. Same with My Hero Academia. Normies should have never been able to watch anime.
>>11820054Would have been fine if they had ended at Z. Maybe even half way or 2/3 the way through Z. Everything after that does nothing by try to maintain a status quo at best, and assassinate most of the characters, any semblance of plot integrity and continuity that was left.I don't know how anyone can enjoy GT, Super, or Daima.
>>11818827I would literally say that Tenchi Muyo might as well be doujincraft at this point because it kept getting rebooted and rebooted ad infinitum with zero continuity compared to Zelda, which has a continuity arrangement being challenged because of Breath of the Wild and its sequel's existence. In other words, it's the anime counterpart to Touhou, which is also doujincraft but for games.
>>11820054It's not that deep. It was one of the first anime a lot of people watched growing up and it was action packed. Ass-pulls is just a shounen standard and Dragon Ball at least showed the characters training more than most. People continue following it because they loved it as children just like every other toyspawning franchise on this board. No one went into it expecting the complexity of LotGH.
>>11820028That's a shame, the thing shelfwarmed hard and you could see piles of them at discount in some places.
>>11820054>they get in a bind and they just use a power-up out of thin air! "Oh I forgot I have this special power, I'll use it!"Completely incorrect but go off junior>It's just fuel for testosterone driven man-children who lack the skills to focus their energy into something creative.Awful lot of projecting there kiddo lmao
>>11819182I never played it but i heard good things about it
>>11818119just learn to garage kit already bro lmao.
>>11820259it was great because They updated the roster/patches every few months despite having never being advertised anywhere. it even outlived the other 2 RPG's somehow. All that's left is Pixel RPG which isnt very exciting
>>11818119A lot of pop culture anime in the US are just another show in Japan anon. It's only popular in the US because it's all we had. Japan at the time it was airing probably had 50 other anime shows on. You gotta be a worldwide massive hit for older anime to be relevant to Japanese companies.
>>11821094>a worldwide massive hitSo basically just Gundam and Dragonball, then? And maybe Saint Seiya which is big with Latinos.
>>11821094But Tenchi Muyo was big in the US, Japan, and other countries. Tenchi Muyo was successful on the Sci Fi Channel, Cartoon Network, and streaming servicesIt was very popular in Japan, hence having multiple movies, multiple TV shows/OVAs, and multiple spin offs.3 decades worth of media.So how come it didn't get any merch after the 00s, despite the series still going up until the 10s?
>>11818415As a Yu-Gi-Oh fan iktf. At the height of its popularity all sorts of side characters and even one-off monsters were getting figures (albeit with bad QC and paintjobs but typical for its era) and now with all the fancy tech we only ever get the main characters. There are some side characters coming out like Mai and Ishizu statues but for some fucking reason statues are always some scale that's not 1/12 (otherwise I can harvest the heads to make customs using blank bodies)
>>11821102>And maybe Saint Seiya which is big all over the world but murricahFTFY
>>11821169Lol, no we Yugioh fans don't truly know that feel, bro. We've had Figma, SHF, Revoltech, Figure-rise, all making figures in the last 10 years. Sure, we've got a variety problem similar to Digimon where only the most popular characters get made with a wildcard every now and then, but these forgotten anime like Tenchi can't even get a single figure of their main characters.
>>11818415A-any day now...
>>11821242>big all over the worldFrance, Spain, Japan and Latin America isn't "all over the world". I'm a Spaniard and most of Europe doesn't give a shit about Saint Seiya.
ONE DAYThey made a 1/12 scale kit of his motorcycle, but absolutely NOTHING for him except for 3-4 statues, not even an articulated figureand yet, his manga lasted from 1991 to 2024, 33 yearsAll I'm asking is a good sized head, I can do the rest myself
You want head from him ? Lmao
>>11821598>France, Spain, Japan and Latin America isn't "all over the world"and Italy and China and so on but I guess you're retard...>I'm a Spaniardoh, never mind
>>11821369There's been a notable selection of BGC toys before: the 1/18 hardsuits and Motoslaves by Yamato, the 1/12 (but actually 1/14) model kits of Priss's hardsuit and Motoslave by Aoshima, and the 1/12 hardsuit action figures by Atelier Sai. I suspect that FREEing canceled the figma Motoslave because they couldn't get the engineering for the transformation to work.
>>11822336>Gets irrationally butthurt when corrected>Immediately starts throwing names Still not "the world over" no matter how mad you get over nothing.
>>11821369If so...>>11822336Be nice they have extra chromosomes, that's why they go a todo gas with their onda vital punching Lobeznos and Hulkas in the jungla de cristal, also looks like they're snowflakesShit aside, I want Slayes figs and I don't care about fucking Nendoroids
>>11822353well, he's not wrong to dismiss spain, since spain is largely irrelevant, steadily declining, and becoming europe's crackhouse.The fact that italy has a much bigger economy than spain is hilarious>>11822312that's ridiculous that there is next to nothing for GTO.
>>11822391>that's ridiculous that there is next to nothing for GTO.The only statue that might work is this one, and even then, it's 19-20 cm tall, too big, but it's the only option; the rest are 1:6 scale models limited to 500 copies at 1000 euros each.

>>11824049Dirty Pair action figures were announced in 2012 as part of the Gutto Kuru line, but the manufacturer went out of business before they could be released. They would have been about 8" tall, though.
>>11824049>>11824056>"Here are your Dirty Pair action figs, bro."
A bitch-basic 70s Cutie Honey action figure - not RE, not live action-based and definitely not that retarded recent Taimanin-reject.Is that REALLY too much, Japan?!
>>11824120Yes. We can't even get a Devilman that isn't some random ass artist's redesign or one based on the 70's anime that basically had nothing to do with the manga. Honey is fucked.
>>11824056I think there are some 1/12 garage kit models, I’ve seen them going on mercari occasionally for big bucks.
>>11824120>>11824126We hear you, take another Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger figures
>>11818119Flame of Recca deserved toys too. Yeah, it was a YYH rip-off, but at least it looked better
>>11824238Doronjo hasn't had a real posable figure since the 2008's Microman toy. The trio is way overdue for some articulated toys.
>>11818498The last Tenchi anime came out in 2023. And Kajashima has been constantly pumping out doujins every year.
>>11824412Classic Ranma got SHFs 10 years ago.

>>11824648Oh, and FLCL
>>11824648Don't think so but it did get toys, model kits and things, so did flcl.

>>11824668Well shame on me
>>11824668Why would I? I don't collect figma.
Did you guys see how much Samurai Pizza Cats merch was announced last year? Yolopark's doing figures, Bellfine and Wave are doing model kits, Art Storm is doing more ES Gokins, and some company is even making plushies.
>>11824668shows how /toy/ is made up of nothing but newfags now, considering how popular those figures were on /toy/.This Big O figure was about as popular as you could expect it to be, considering its super high price ($100!!!!!!).
>>11824683SAM UR EYE PIZZA CATSWHO DO YOU CALL WHEN YOU WANT SOME PEPPERONI?!
>>11824670>PS3 are considered retro consoles nowI was about to call you a retard, but then I realized it's been 20 FUCKING YEARS.
>>11824185Blame Adam Warren
>>11824238UrashimanCat's EyeBorgmanSome Lejiverse stuff where they can reuse the headsculpts for multiple characters
>>11824683I'm glad, I love Samurai Pizza Cats. I miss the days of funny ass dubs.>tfw didn't buy Tatsunoko vs Capcom specifically because it didn't have the Cats
>>11824680You answered a question.
>>11824700That much isn't surprising at least since I was a little kid when it started. Was a teenager when I got a PS3, though. Still have it hooked up to my TV. I guess it didn't seem as old to me since games were still coming out for it until 2018.
>>11824269I could say that would help if they ever rebooted the anime to be more faithful to the manga, as in, change the entire end point of the show (see, the anime made Kokuu appear a bit too early than usual that he couldn't be able to use him to defeat Kurei, and the ending became way too abrupt. The manga made it so that Kurei would lose to Recca's use of Kokuu, and everything spirals out of control when Koran Mori throws the Uraha under the bus, leading to Kurei's circle becoming Hokage's Team B for its final battle).
>>11818439I could see a figure of each of the ladies, likely model kits of the ships and probably plushies of ryo-oki (along with that other cat/bunny/ship) but overall it's a small core group of characters to make merchandise of

>>11826356That would be cool. I think I played an SNES (?) game based on this one. Mikami's skirt might present some problems in figure form though.
>>11824648two figmas, some weird kaiyodo line from the toonami figures which included big duo and big o, a prototype arctype figure that never got produced, several of those big soufubis, a soul of chogokin, a RD that never got made, and these huge metal figures which gae us big duo big o, and big fau. I think there was also prototypes of Venus and Dorothy's sister floating around. >>11824650Haruko and mamimi got two shitty doll figures, Haruko and both Canti's got a shitty figure some people managed to convert into revoltechs. Canti's garage kit got made into a real fig by rio bone, and then got an upgraded 2.0 version later on by another company.Canti also got a huge art toy line that was even in hot topic for a bit. Haruko never really got a solid figure though. Only statues. Vash and Spike continue to get good figs somehow.
Man, we can't even get some fucking Nendos.>>11819201The ending, in as much that it has one goes like this->Tenchi marries all the girls, but only after like, 10 years of fucking around>Seina from GXP builds a house across the lake from him>Tenchi only has girls(one exception), Seina only boys>Ryoko gets pregnant first, Ayeka soon after>Kirika is the first to have a son>Ryo-Ohki has triplets>Amane has a son>Mihoshi and Noike have daughters at the same time>Noike's daughter is an autistic rapist>Ryoko Balta has the last son we know of>Each set of daughters marry the coresponsing son>Tenchi's younger half-brother gets Isekai'd while Ryo-Ohki is pregnant, and has his own spinoff and harem>Seina keeps collecting wives, about 50/50 fell in love and political marriagesAlso Tenchi has one son by Washu, though his placement is unknown. We do know he ran away from home, became an archeologist, and uncovered the ghost of Masaki Jurai, sister of the first Emperor of Jurai, and married her, but due to events in the most recent OVAs, the details of this have to be changed.

>>11824598I think that's from ova 5 from 2020, Kajishima's latest credit is Paradise Shidou Hen in 2023 on anidb, and save the Pretty Sammy spinoffs and Battle Programmer Shirase he seems to be credited on every other Tenchiverse anime. https://anidb.net/creator/1235
Man if even the original version doesn't get love what hope is there for the fans of the 90s versions
>>11819939>I think what ran on Sci Fi is only more obscure because it's older and older people are less likely to be onlineI can look up and watch what played on Scifi now but with how cable worked, I would always catch like half an OVA, not know what exactly I watched, could not find it on vhs in any normal video store and Sci fi is like "WELP, THAT'S OVER, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN!" so I had small chunks of memories while Toonami I could watch everyday after school and they played/reran plenty of shows.
>>11830917the difference between sci fi and toonami is that toonami ran a series either every day or every week.Sci Fi Channel before the 2000s mainly focused on movies and shorter stuff that was shown a few times over a week or over a day once a year.But back online in the 90s and 00s, it was very influencial for most early weebs, who generally don't come online as much anymore. Most of the weebs considered the stuff toonami showed to be kiddy shit, not worth their time, and were asking for the more adult stuff that was shown on Sci Fi.
>>11830779Panty and Stocking gets plenty of merch.
>>11818119>Monkey's paw curlshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7D6OT4flM0
>>11839273Remember when they tried launching a Kickstarter to reboot El-Hazard and it failed?
>>11839367barely, and probably nobody else remembers it, hence it failing.tenchi muyo is much more popular and was actually watched on TV in the United States.
>>11840131They also hire a hololive vtuber to VA in it and promote it. We might get all the weebs to buy in.
Well, Tenchi Galaxy's fully funded and all three stretch goals have been met. Think we'll get new merch of the series now?
>>11845904lol
>>11847126I mean, the directors just learned that Tenchi was hugely popular in the US.
