OVA 5 Info Thread

[WaitoKon]

Well, it's a strong start seeing finished frames like this. Pretty exciting to be happening live, eh?

Let's hope that OVA 5 is more like OVA 1 and 2. The picture of Rea seems to state that there is going to be humor in the series.  For the villain,  I just want him to be a little like Dr. Clay.

I also hope that this will be more like OVA 1+2.

I third that opinion.

I like Tenchi Universe, Photon, and Dual! on their own terms. But the original OVAs, the characters, setting, humor, and action, that's what made me love the Tenchiverse. Well, that, as well as all the fanservice and harem antics, too, of course .

When I really started to get into anime waaayyyy back in 2001, I watched Tenchi and El-Hazard back to back. Which really turned me on to anime in general.

[WaitoKon]

Good to hear GP, makes me reminisce about the turn of the millennium Tenchi airings. Oddly enough, my first exposure in this regard was not Tenchi / Hazard despite both coming from Hayashi and Kaj essentially. Rather, it was Tenchi: Daughter of Darkness and the double-feature Slayers film that shipped with it in an oddly cropped format for DVD. Was trying to find materials to upload to animemusicvideos.org back then, and it was all Trigun, NGE and Tenchi snippets. My hometown was a few minutes drive to a major comics books retailer, and the whole back section was anime DVDs and PSX titles in the Region 1 NTSC mode. I think Sunrise had a DVD outlet back then which finally got dubbed videos out to anime fans in the states.

Tonikaku, don't want to derail this thread -- Vas are you familiar with the production planning that went into making the episode 13 pt 1 and 2 for OVA 2?

[antvasima]

No, sorry. I do not remember.

[WaitoKon]

Okay no worries. My understanding was Kaj and his team were on the fence with one of the earlier Hasegawa light novels, and so reworked the Jurai elements (before the True Tenchi novels happened) to have Azusa and others make a cameo in the extended episode 13. My take on OVA V plot wise is it must consider the ongoing GXP novels as well as tie together OVA 4 and Geminar, so in essence the behind-the-scenes for episode 13 is a retrospect on what is going on today. I hope it works.

Pre-orders are up for the first episode. It also confirms we're getting 6 episodes. I'm not sure if we knew that yet.

Also looking at the site it says it has a release date of February 28, 2020. That seems way too soon even for a placeholder date.

Another site with pre-orders. Looks like another novelization as a pre-order bonus, and a Kajishima drawing of older Sasami.

Thanks for the heads up. I will pre-order for the novel.

Do I have to buy all 6 volumes to get the novel? The translation of the shop page is confusing.

That's what my translation's reading- pre-order all 6 from the same store, and it ships with the sixth ep.
