There's one good thing.

What is it with modern anime and trying to make everyone look like a massive faggot? Confused

Wow, those are some leggy character designs. In any event, any new Tenchi can't be a bad thing. Maybe in 5 minute installments it won't be as painfully dull as the 3rd OVA.

I don't know. What is it with people who comment online trying way too hard to act like an asshole, 8-year old, elitist, disrespectful, homophobic little douchebag brat?

Seriously, kid. Grow the hell up, or go back to writing incredibly stupid, youtube-style comments somewhere else.

Yeah I am doing a 180. I love the new redesigns of everyone but Tenchi. Especially Washu and Ryoko look really good, and Mihoshi actually looks about the same.

I love how they took some of the most iconic character designs and muted them out of existence. At least the newer picture made Ryoko's hair more silver than outright blue.

Still, legs, whole lot of legs.

Tenchi (at least in regards to the promotion work) looks much better in this new design than his "every dude" aesthetic in the older media.

As for the rest of the returning characters, the designs within the old media suffered from the usual inconsistency of in between animation quality and rarely looked like the promotional material.

The new designs should (in theory) be easier to follow.

Until the episodes that feature the returning cast air, all we have to base in is a few sketches and a premise, so there isn't anything to really cheer or complain about.

I honestly like these new character designs, as the 90s ones are so so so dated. It finally feels like the show is catching up to this generation, but perhaps a little too late.

I think Ryoko and Mihoshi got breast implants... One overdone harem trope that Tenchi Muyo did NOT have was excessive cleavage.

But what irks me the most? WHERE IS KIYONE? She's my favorite character...

^ I don't think Kiyone had much part in the OVA, if at all...

Just Universe and Tokyo, I believe...

In any case, I wanna know what kinda school Tenchi goes to as a teacher, because I know this wouldn't fly on Earth.

That one girl has NO SKIRT; it's just underwear! What the crackers?!

All in all, I'll miss Washu's overly spikey hair, and I don't really like the extra sultry-ness of the costumes. I can see that with Ryoko and possibly even Mihoshi, but it's out of character for the rest of them, in my opinion.

I may be taken aback by the new designs, but I hope that the series in general doesn't suffer.

I think Miyoshi looks pretty good, or faithful to her original self. Now where is her partner?

Not sure about Ryoko at all.

Suzuhito Yasuda's great and all, but... I don't know. It just doesn't look like Tenchi.

Well,it's good to see the rest of the Tenchi gang back together. I admit that they look different from the times I've seen them but I'm willing to give it a chance. And as for those who've see that one of the characters looks like Lum. I've got the feeling there's going to be a lawsuit between old Rumiko Takahashi and the producers of this series.
