Its not like they dont have the material, someone just needs to want to make another one, they made a 3rd OVA after like 10 years, iTs been 10 years since TMiL2, why not a 4th movie?

Tenchi isn't exactly a thing of the past, but neither is it as hot as it was in the '90s. However, a movie in the vein of the DBZ ones - alternate, self-contained universes - could be fun. I consider movie 2 to be like that.

Exactly, MnE was even though (arguably) part of the OVA continuity, was still based off of Hasegawa-Sensei's novel, There's a treasure trove of Novels and Manga that could be adapted to Anime, anything from Hitoshi Okuda, The 3 Kajishima Novels, etc, etc i think it would be cool if we got something from Hitoshi (Hello Minagi) lol

I don't like Okuda because, for the most part, he was the first to make it a love triangle instead of a love n-polygon

Except for a few token stories, the girls besides Ayeka/Ryoko lost their romantic interest in Tenchi -- and he portrayed Ryoko kinder/better than she actually is.

If I could have those type of stories without those two elements, I would take them in animated form.

Yea thats true, i guess it all depends on who would take the job and what they picked

i think another Hasegawa adaptation would be good too, at least i know it would be coming from a good writer

gawd, i mean they could hire any of the millions of people obsessed with the show all over the world!

Yea but not everybody is "qualified" (i say that with both sarcasm and a hint of real meaning) sure any one of us could do it, but its not about just hiring someone, someone who fits the bill actually has to want to do it

Yea, i agree, i didnt really mind the love polygon, but it was easier to focus in on 2 people as opposed to like 6 or 7, heres to hoping these (or other) manga see a storyboard for Tenchi, like i said, between GXP and SNT, its not curing the "crave" at all, just makin it worse, lol

agreed. a love-polygon is completely ridiculous. also, correct me if i'm wrong but, but isn't the story loosely based on some older Japanese legend of a love triangle between a princess, warrior and a demon?
Like the segment they covered in time and space adventures? The demon of Roshomon? its also mentioned
(by Mihoshi) when they in the school universe.

They often make reference to that story, but I don't know if it's actually based off it.

I think it would be even more akward for Tenchi, sure i'd hate the fact Ryoko wasnt in there but it would be kinda funny to watch..

"Tenchi just call me little WASHU" (sasami comes in and slaps her)

"Tenchi only gives ME little pet names!!"

Any new Tenchi?
