Adv i though had the license to Cyborg009 then lost it just like they lost the License to Gurren Lagann and other shows.
I'm surpised they have not declared bankruptcy yet, since Pioneer usa folded and now the japan half of bandai (bandai Visual usa) in the usa is closing and merging with its usa counterpart bandai ent.
I wonder how many of those shows that were goint to be sub only and at japanese prices will now cost less and be dubbed by bang zoom entertainment, like Haruhi and Lucky Star starring Wendee Lee.
As for tenchi the absolute worst thing funimation ever did was not get Petrea Burhard back as Ryoko for the english dub for OVA 3. OVA s not as bad as its rep states but the animation style is different and worst of all at the end the harem still continues with 2 new girls.
The characterizations of the original characters are left in pieces and replaced with not needed new characters.
Plus Ova and and canon spinoff galaxy police transporter added more sexyness without any context, really just to whore the show out.
The director instead of milking it should have had tenchi choose Ryoko, instead it was left up to the non canon universe tv series and movies to do this.
I don't like the ending of the tenchi in tokyo series but i still can forgive a lot in that show because it was Petrea Burchard as Ryoko in the dub.
OVA III sucks i want the old sassy and wild ryoko back!
Actress brought believability to the whole silly space pirate concept.
I won't even bother talking about how Pioneer even further went away from the original shows concept to whore it as a magical girls show pretty sammy, awful!
Never watched it even except for the 2 side stories from the original tenchi muyo.
Cringe worthy except for making fun of Bill Gates as biff standard, even the fighting between Ryoko and Ayeka was funny until it got old.
