At least a fourth series of the OVA Continuity.

It can't be any worse than the third OVA series. Though, that series had it's moments, but not many...

I just wanted to share this.



While this scene funny as hell in the show, it just flashes by too fast to fully appreciate it.

I actually much preferred the OVA Tenchi continuity to the TV one, but does anyone think the property is still relevent? I'm finding it hard to imagine there being anything new to do with it at this point, short of a full-on transition to a sci-fi action adventure a la Negima.....

Yuru Yuri. It's about the daily adventures of 4 middle school girls and their friends.

They're having a slumber party and two of the girls just got back from grabbing some more futons.

Knowing Yuru Yuri based on 1st season I assume that it didn't happen same way as in Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid.

I thought so and that's better considering they age. Not that girls in Valkyrie Drive would not be underaged as well.

No, that's blood.

I don't know what makes me laugh at that screen shot more, the look of pure shock on most of the girls' faces, or the completely apathetic looks on the teacher and student council president in the background.  It's probably not even the blood that has Ayano and Kyoko freaked out(the two on the right.)


I should probably go ahead and spill the beans, but I'm not going to.  That would ruin me and MadCapellan's fun.  If it helps, this is the final episode of season 1. 

Yuru yuri sets the bar pretty high, but they've managed to leap over it for both their season finales so far.  The Snow White episode was a riot and really makes me want to see them cover Star Wars next.

They did that with the first series and then GXP.  Frankly my chief draw to the series was the setting and backgrounds, because damn if Juraian aesthetics aren't gorgeous.  And, especially for the time, the animation was fantastic.

Yeah, but Tenchi TV was mostly crap.

I've seen one Tenchi(think I still own tape).  It was either an OVA or a movie.  I remember very little of it and what I do remember I'm not sure if it's from what I watched or from something I read on it.

Another good site is this one, http://tenchi.astronerdboy.com/

I'm in shock about them resurrecting/resuming Tenchi Muyo.  OVA 3 wasn't as exciting for me as earlier series.  Old ones were more...exciting i guess, it was leading up to something that i guess never happened.  Tenchi didn't become king or something, becoming next Emperor or dealing with multi-dimensional being they were hinting on wanting Tenchi for his abilities. 

Impression from graphic i've seen for new OVA, it resuming life / Romcom situatino verses miss-adventures with his alien friends.

Now there is anime franchise that I didn't even knew existed. Then again same thing is with Ushio to Tora before they remade it as TV version.

Well I saw episode 2 of Valkyrie Drive ~Mermaid~ and I gotta say the surprises in this are just fantastic, but so is the fanservice! Oh, and the main pair of the series, we've established their ages. The pink-haired girl is 16, but the blonde bombshell she's with...is 15! So yeah, awkward moment there.

Watched the new yuru yuri last night(well, the newest free one anyway).  I'm kinda bummed they didn't start where the last one left off.  i wanted to see Akari hanging out with Sakurako.   Akane mostly creeps me out(that first episode reveal of her room made me wonder if I'd picked up the wrong kind of anime), but she was pretty funny in this episode.

Does anyone try follow Chu Feng: BEE?  I've enjoyed the seires so far, having read the original Chinese comic book, which sometimes referred too as School Shock. 

It pretty good but i'm not sure how many like it given how super slow the episodes are going out.
