And true to the original
The Tenchi Universe series is a lesser version of the OAV. Most of the main characters have slightly different background stories, some have changed in both that, and appearance, and some changes are simply unforgiveable to some hardcore Tenchi otakus. Such changes include the rise of Mihoshi's "stupidity and clumsyness" level, as will as the decline of Mihoshi's "caring and sometimes better than Aeka and Ryoko" Level. The addition of Kiyone makes some of the "bad" changes forgiveable, but that isn't enough. In fact, there are times when it adds to the "bad"-ness. There is less nudity percentage-wise, not like it ever matters, but there is also less plot. In fact, the only main plot was some-what borrowed from Star Wars (like it wasn't obvious). Really, despite all that, it's still great. In fact, compared to DBZ dubbing, this is the greatest thing in the history of anything!... but I always say that.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
