The website doesn't say, but it occurs to me that this may
be a 2-disc release, with all 13 episodes. The animation is
simple, so it could be done well if they have a sophisticated
encoding program, and Funi may very well, since they already
did it with Fruits Basket. Also, they may need a rapid response
from the market to make the decision of whether to license
season 2 or not.

Well, one should try to give them decent marketing information, then...
I am not what one would call a "Tenchi completist". Is this show worth
buying?

Although I'm not really a fan of magical girl anime (or Tenchi Muyo) I'm
definitely going to get this, since I really liked the first episode.

Oh, man, this one is *so* mine, if I can get a job!
To hear the immortal line "I am not a wienie! You are the wienie!"
spoken by Ricardo Montalban, it's just classic. Almost up there
is Ed Asner's "smells like poo gas."

This is a problem for the Halfs, growing up with connections to
both worlds; they have the power to be very dangerous, without
the control to *not* use it. The approach towards taking control
of the situation is to work through the schools and establish
Magical Girls Clubs that use peer pressure to keep the witchlings
in line; of course, this leads to blowing their cover to tiny itsy
bitsy pieces, and society reacting to the knowledge that there
are magical girls everywhere. Which is season 2, and is awesome.
Season 1 isn't really; that's just young girls pressured into joining
a club, forming a gang, and going on field trips. The evil part of
the magical world doesn't kick in until season 2.

Or even AIC, for that matter, except for some acquired title-rights.

Oh, and Pixy Misa is nowhere to be found, even in principle.
Those no longer interested may exit by the side door.

It has been licensed.

That's because this has nothing to do with either "Pretty Sammy"
line. They did bring over Misao from that line (just as they brought
Sasami, Washu, Mihoshi, and Ryo-ohki over from TM!R), but "Sasami" is
a completely different magic girl Tenchi spinoff.

So the canon spinoff-sequel being produced (assuming it gets to TV)
starring Tenchi's half-brother doesn't count?

Nnnno. And neither does the loser-gag-comedy Nabeshin one, starring
Tenchi's neighbor and Mihoshi's cousin.

There hasn't been any real Tenchi since Tenchi sliced the Souja in half.

What nonsense are you babbling? There were only two Terminator
movies. Next you'll be talking about "Highlander II" or some such rot.

And complain all you want, but sooo, "Tenchi in Tokyo"'s not starting to
look so bad NOW, is it?...

all through the previous series, but, dang it, during that stretch of
the story arc of TinT in which the natto really started to hit the fan
and Aeka seemed to be the only one who realized it or even gave a damn,
her desperate efforts to protect her loved ones endeared her to me
almost against my will.......she was in way over her head, but she was
going to go down fighting!
I still think TinT as a whole is good for growing prize-winning
camellias, though...........
