Man I love the Tenchi series to death.
But with Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki there are 3 OVAs each with about 6-7 episodes apiece, made over a period of about 10 years. So I don't know how that works in seasons. I know the first 2 OVAs were shown on U.S. televison as just Tenchi Muyo! although they were pretty editted. There was a movie as well that took place after the first OVA, but kinda ignores the other 2 OVAs. I believe its U.S. title is Tenchi Muyo! The Movie: Daughter of Darkness.
Then came Tenchi Universe which did air on TV in Japan for 26 episodes and later in the U.S. Once again the Cartoon Network editted the episodes. This series didn't follow the OVA timeline. It was made by the co-creater of the Original. It had 2 movies that followed called Tenchi in Love and Tenchi Forever. This series was made by the original creater without any imput from his buddy and better received than the last one.
Third came Tenchi in Tokyo which showed Tenchi going to school in Tokyo and getting a girlfriend, but these shows changed everybodies personalities and many people didn't like it. It was alright in opinion at times, but the OVAs were great and so was the sequel TV series. But it 2 ran for 26episodes. It like the second series had its own timeline.
Lastly a new TV series debuted in 2002 I think it was. It was called Tenchi Muyo! GXP which followed the timeline set up in the OVAs but with mostly new characters and took place in the GP (Galaxy Police), same organization Mihoshi is in. It is as almost a risque as the OVAs and even has cameos or small parts of our favorite characters. The lead character is named Seina and looks alot like Tenchi and his good friend. It too ran for 26 episodes.
As of now nothing Tenchi has since come out. I wonder if the series is seemingly over? I have yet to finish seeing GXP and I didn't finnish watching Tenchi in Tokyo.
