I just have a simple question about the Tenchi Series to anyone that have seen Tenchi Muyo, Tenchi Universe, & Tenchi in tokyo: How come Tenchi meets the girls differently in each series?
If you have no idea what I mean, let me know. |

they are all seperate tellings of the same basic story. the original was really popular so in order to make more money they had alternate tellings of the tenchi story.

Washu and Ryoko swapped places between OVA and TV.
In the ova, Ryoko was orginally in a cave for the last 500 years. Where Washu came in from outer space. In the TV, Washu was orginally in a cave for the last 500 years. Where Ryoko came in from outer space. |

I'd always thought it was more a parallel universe thing, since that concept came up repeatedly in the show.

Because if Tenchi met the girls the same exact way for every series, it would be boring and there would be no point in watching it.

Think they needed to keep coming up with different places and basic plots for the show. EX. a demon in a cave doesn't mesh to well with outerspace.

It does when spoiler[it turns out she's not really a demon, but rather a half-cloned science project imprisoned in the cave after coming to Earth.]

I think I read somewhere that the two sequels were actually based on fanfics and fan demand so to kind please the fans they took aspects of various fanfics and recreated the story.

Actually, it's neither. Pretty Sammy began as a side-episode of the first Tenchi Muyo! TV series, as part of a story arc where the cast traveled through each other's fantasy worlds (which, conveniently, ended up being parodies of various genre conventions). Sasami's fantasy world ended up being a magical girl parody, and that episode proved popular enough to warrant pursuing the idea as its own series.

I think it has to do with keeping everyone's interest and they want to do something different. That doesn't mean it always works or is as good. The OAVs are the best because of Tenchi and Ryoko's state of affairs, the gems, the sword, his place in royalty, how she wants him so bad and the other girls do too, etc. The Universe series is somewhat watered down, Ryoko isn't as powerful, Washu is in the cave, but Kiyone looks real good (woof). The Tokyo series completely ignores the first two installments and is completely original, and is also a complete mess. Its just a good waste of Tenchi and his girls.
