It took them long enough, it will have only taken them over a year to release the second volume after the first.
I guess they decided to get off their collective A$$'s and go back to work. |

| I'm pretty sure the delay stems from the release of the extra episode, which was made slightly after volume one's release date stateside. At least we're getting it with the other episodes instead of a seperate release! |

Strange that this is in the news now. I posted it in a regular thread back in January.
Also...
One of the biggest questions I've been getting since the street date announcement for Tenchi volume 2 & 3 is why is it so late? I can't take that long to dub the episodes? Here is what happened in a nutshell:
The OVA3 contract was split in two parts, episodes 4-7 being in the second contract. The signing of the second contract was delayed for a good long time due to many different internal changes that we have been going through this past year. After that there were some more studio talks and working to get the original voice cast together for these next volumes.
After all the smoke cleared (a few weeks back) we had all our ducks in a row and are pushing forward. Thank you again to all the loyal Tenchi fans for your understanding and patience.

| Wasn't there also a moratorium period imposed to prevent reverse importation, considering that the OVA episodes cost 5,040 Yen (a little over $41 U.S.) each? |

Yeah, I had Adam's remarks posted on my website immediately after I saw them back in mid-January.  ;

I haven't heard that specifically, but I'd been wondering if something like that were in place. |

A question about OVA 3 did come up at the panel at Katsucon and I do believe Lance Heiskell mentioned the fear of reverse importation.
Of course, I'm not a very dependable resource for memory.  |

Depends on your point of view. Episode 7 will be on it's own disc with an SRP of $29.99. Seems kind of like it's getting it's own release separate from the rest of the series after all.
I passed on the release anyway. Seven episodes spread across 3, $30 discs doesn't work for me. I'm waiting for a collection. |

| I've been waiting for 10 years, what's a few more months. Now if we can get the "true novels" translated this franchise would be complete. |

I'm a little confused about some things for the Tenchi Muyo OVA:
-Airi, the wife of Tenchi's Grandfather (on his mother's side), is she Tenchi's biological grandmother, or is she a step-grandmother by marriage? If so, what happened to Tenchi's biological grandmother, on his mother's side? And if not, kind of nasty that she's so sexually attracted to him.
-Tennyo is Tenchi's sister. So that means she's Kiyone's daughter. But who is Kiyone's father? Surely its not Nobuyuki? And...Tennyo's love for Tenchi seems more than just that of a sibling, ick, what is it with this creators' attraction to incest?
-What the hell happened in episode 6? I still can't figure it out. It was like the end of Evangelion on crack. |

Yes.

Why not? Nobody looks their age in the show.  |

Are you sure? Because the OVA made it seem like it was a rather recent event. So this means that Airi and Tenchi's grandfather are the parents of Kiyone? And so...Airi wants to shack up with her own grandson?
And what happened to Kiyone anyway?

I dunno, it was never made clear that Nobuyuki was Tennyo's father. Plus...he tried to make out with her knowing she was Tennyo.
Plus...isn't Nobuyuki an earthling? Or is he an alien as well? |

Well, it was only 500 years ago that they got back together and produced their 2nd daughter, Kiyone. 
| Quote: | | And what happened to Kiyone anyway? |
She died.

Well, it's never explicitly stated, but "simple is best".
| Quote: | | Plus...isn't Nobuyuki an earthling? Or is he an alien as well? |
Well, he's also one of Yosho's descendants, and Yosho makes sure all his kids get a chance to go into space if they want.
And life-extension/body strengthening treatments are ordinary occurences for those galactic citizens who want them. |
