Someone else on staff is supposed to be doing a proper review of the Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki 3 OVA vol. 1, so I'll just register a few comments here.
1) Did anyone else who watched the English 5.1 dub on a surround-sound system notice some audio oddities in this volume? Three or four different times when a character was speaking from off-screen (especially in the third episode) there was a weird resonance and echo-like effect which couldn't have been intended. The problem does not exist in the English Stereo dub. 2) It would appear that this series is just flat-out ignoring the existence of any other Tenchi material beyond the original OVAs, including the Mihoshi special. That's the only way that some of this (such as why Tenchi's mother is being called Kiyone and Mihoshi's former partner not being Kiyone) makes any sense. Or is there other stuff going on here which hasn't been revealed yet? 3) Ryoko's English voice: didn't care for it at first, but it grew on me by the end of the volume. 4) How is Rea supposed to fit into all of this? Her relationship to anyone isn't explained, and I don't remember her popping up before. All-in-all, the series has my interest piqued. What happened to Tenchi's mother, beyond the fact that she died when Tenchi was young, has never been explained before, and it's great to see all the gang back in action again and up to usual tricks. I know I'm looking forward to the next volume. |

1. cant comment.
2. Of course it is ignoring them. Universe and Shin are spin-offs. Mihoshi special as well. The names of the characters, such as Tenchi`s mother, was made well before OVA3, in Tenchi Muyo101 as well as 3 other volumes of work that detailed the past of Jurai, Washu, and Yosho. 3. Thats great to hear^^ 4. No comment for now. I loved the original alot more than the new one. But it is definitely gonna be nostalgic to hear their voices again. They had one of the best VA cast imo. |

2.) OVA and Universe are different things. In Universe there was a character called Kiyone. In the OVa Kiyone isn't in it because she never exsited.

Well, I know that. My point, though, was that the first Tenchi movie, which is in line with the first TV series (Tenchi Universe), quite clearly labeled Tenchi's mother as being Achika. While a lot of details do change between the OVAs and the TV series, names of characters had remained consistent - at least up until now. |

Well you gotta realize the OVA is the original. Nothing came before that. So whatever the movies say or if they were in line with whatever TV series it doesn't matter. The OVA is going by the only thing that matters to it the OVA series which it was created to wrap up.

Tenchi Muyo GXP and the two OVAs are the only thing that exist in the same universe as the third OVA. For what I understand, Tenchi GXP is events that occur after the third OVA.

Yes, GXP occurs 3 years after the end of OVA3.

Achika is Tenchi`s mother in Universe.
Kiyone is Tenchi`s mother in OVA. |

I remember in one episode Tenchi was crying then he said,"Grandma", but he was supposed to say mother.

I'd like to expand on the comments that the 3rd OAV ignores the movies and the two TV series by reminding you, Key, that series creator Masaki Kajishima was not even INVOLVED in Universe and Tokyo.
In fact, Kajishima did not return to the franchise until the 3rd movie - Tenchi Muyo in Love 2/Tenchi Forever. The 3rd OAV is intended to be the penultimate entry into the franchise, and the completion of the story Masaki Kajishima began nearly fifteen years ago. |
