I miss not hearing their name nowadays. They certainly stuck their neck out when others hadn't even started in the 90's.
Reminded they released this classic.

I miss those awkwardly-translated but usually informative episode descriptions that frequently mentioned individual staff members' personal touches within the anime on the back of Pioneer VHS and Laserdisc releases. When Pioneer switched to DVD, the back of case descriptions were written with more polished English but with much less personality.

The original Laserdisc releases for Tenchi Muyo had pull-out inserts that were also worth reading! The first 6 episodes even had covers that featured bilingual back covers that were basically the English cover glued over the Japanese one!

Give me the rundown on Tenchi Muyo. I have a copy of Tenchi Universe but ironically I haven't watched it yet. (Long story. I borrowed it in college and never returned it) Is it good? It seems like there is too many series of it

I have a few of the Laserdiscs (4 episodes of the first OVA series, the Mihoshi Special, the first double-episode disk of the 2nd OVA series, the final volume of Tenchi Universe, Tenchi Muyo in Love, Tenchi Muyo the Movie 2: Daughter of Darkness, Pretty Sammy OVA 1, and that one Japanese Laserdisc with the music videos). My problem with getting a complete collection was that, by the time I finally had enough money to get a Laserdisc player, it was 1997 and stores were already beginning to dump their Laserdiscs because of DVD even though there wasn't yet much in the way of anime on DVD beyond the Street Fighter II movie and I think also maybe Ghost in the Shell and that one Battle Arena Toshinden OVA.
I like some of the random factoids they included in the Laserdisc liner notes (which were also packed in with the VHS tapes, at least the subbed versions) where you're not sure if they're joking or whether it's meant to be taken as canon, like the exact ethnicity of Mihoshi (or at least the Pretty Sammy OVA version of her): she has a Japanese father and a half-Thai, half-American mother. I'm not sure if that also applies to the Galaxy Police version of Mihoshi; if you take Jurai to be "Space Japan", which it quite blatantly is, there's probably also "Space Thailand" and "Space United States of America" somewhere in the Galaxy.

Tenchi Universe is the second timeline where most of the major plot points from the original Tenchi Muyo! OVA (direct-to-video animation) are the same but a lot of the small details have been changed. It's kind of a mixed bag in that the animation quality for the TV series is a step down from the lavishly-animated OVAs and there's much more in the way of "filler" due to having to fill 26 episodes (but I enjoy filler anyway) compared to just 6 episodes (and 1 in-canon special) of the first OVA series but, on the other hand, the TV series has Galaxy Police Detective First Class Kiyone Makibi who is my favouite character while the OVA just has her partner Mihoshi Kuramitsu.
The Tenchi Universe timeline only spans one 26 episode TV series and two movies (1: Tenchi in Love and 3: Tenchi Forever, with the 2nd movie, Daughter of Darkness confusingly existing in seemingly its own blended continuity timeline) while the original Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Oh-Ki OVA series had two sequel OVA series with a fourth one in production now, almost three decades after the first episode was produced, and several TV spin-offs set in the original continuity (Tenchi Muyo GXP, War for Geminar, and Ai Tenchi Muyo if I remember correctly), and there was a third Tenchi Muyo TV continuity, Shin Tenchi Muyo a.k.a. Tenchi in Tokyo, which weirdly has a Sailor Moon-like archvillainess and her henchmen, but that series is not to be confused with the alternate universe magical girl spin-off Pretty Sammy OVA series, which got its own alternate alternate universe TV series Pretty Sammy TV a.k.a. Magical Project S which then got an alternate alternate alternate re-imagining as Sasami Magical Girls Club a decade later. And that's all I remember off the top of my head, I may be forgetting a spin-off or two.
The rundown of both universes is that it's about a temple boy in western Okayama prefecture who somehow find himself the center of attention of alien pirate girls, alien princesses, alien policewomen, and alien mad scientist women (but all the aliens are essentially just space humans, with very slight hints that Earth is just one of many planets that were colonized by alien humans in ancient times although that's just conjecture), and then he finds out that his grandfather is actually the Crown Prince of the planet the alien princesses come from and Tenchi himself starts to manifest Jedi-esque powers. Tenchi Universe has a pair of guardian characters that show up in humanoid form late in the series who are even more blatantly Jedi, though the Jedi themselves are inspired by Japanese ninja mythology to begin with. Well, the Tenchi multiverse is a franchise that doesn't exactly hide its Star Wars influences even if it has a lot more in the way of comedy and slice-of-life elements.

There is so much gay anime/manga in Japan and it's not even for propaganda purposes. It's mostly written by thirsty women/men who want to see guys or girls make out with each other.gobo 🐢| fugou keiji lockdown on Twitter

Like there are subgenres called Shounen Ai (Yaoi) or Shoujo Ai (Yuri) that have been around for a long time.

Never watched it but was the favorite anime of Tumblr for quite some time so probably
People dont know that there are shitload of mangas that tackle LGBT issues but the reasons they are not popular is because scanlators and publishers dont give much a shit, in Japan this is completely normal in the scene

The other reason because most of them have rape and violence. At least that's what our old friend JesuOtaku criticized yaoi for way back when he was just Hope.

funny because almost all the yaoi mangakas i know are women and the main consumers of it are also women

No, they don't because they don't have romantic feelings for each other. It's been a long time since I finished the manga, so I don't remember exactly of events anymore. However, I don't think this anime/manga is as good as most people (the one recommend anime for "representation") say. I like it at first, but then the story is slow, gets drawn out and I'm losing interest in characters. The end of the manga isn't great either, because it ends on vague note (up to audience imagination).
The main character MtF, Shuuichi Nitori, actually got a girlfriend named Anna. She loves Nitori as male, but also okay with Nitori presented as female. So yeah, this is "lesbian" relationship.
The main character FtM, Yoshino Takatsuki, at first wanting to be male, but in the end she decides to live as female.
Ariga Makoto, another close friend with Nitori, also a MtF, but since he doesn't look girly/cute like Nitori, he has quite an angst about it.
Yuki Yoshida, a MtF adult, has a boyfriend (crush from middleschool) and acts a "guidance" for Nitori.
Taichirou Ebina, another MtF, closet at first but come out later after he meets Nitori. This one is a dad, raising a daughter alone since his wife is dead. He is trying to look for a new wife, but not really successful (not really hard to figure out why). He only wears female clothes when he goes to see Nitori if I remember correctly.

So yeah, it's not really surprising if you see special gender Twitter/tumblrina and weeb trannies like this anime adaptation a lot. Seeing how close it hits them.

I actually got it wrong, it's the 5th OVA series in production now, a 4th one was made 2 years ago. I haven't seen it. I pretty much only care about Tenchi Muyo! made before the turn of the 21st century, the 3rd OVA series from the mid-2000s soured me on getting into any future productions in the franchise as it seemed to be getting too heavy on world-building and too light on being fun or entertaining. Plus, as a franchise almost as old as the Simpsons, they have the problem where several of the main voice actors and actresses have either died or retired.

The third OVA series did it for a lot of people. I think I only care about those first two OVA series myself, nothing else. They came out at the right time.

Tenchi in Tokyo was a hard one to watch because Sakuya felt so wrong. I'm like 90% convinced Sakuya was a self-insert character, she kinda acted like one, but she wasn't well-written or a good subversion or anything of the like. Granted, it turned out she was just a creation of Yuugi to separate Tenchi from Ryoko and the others, but she was so hard to care about because she didn't really have a personality.
