If you want spank stuff without your folks looking up browsing history, #TenchiMuyoGXP.

Bottom line, while the two eps may not be as bad as I remember being from the whole series, hindsight makes it arguably worse. If you want a Tenchi tie in that doesn't have Tenchi, but feels like it can fit in with better writing, #Dual. #TenchiMuyoGXP

...and the dub itself leans in on "Wait, ultimate dude's fantasy, right? LET'S MAKE IT RANDY AND HORNY!"

Not that it had to do much considering eps had stuff like jerking off your thigh and humping a pillow. #TenchiMuyoGXP

And when the series DOES do something about it...well, let's be frank, the only thing it had going for it was confirming the Dual connection as nothing else was going on. The women were one dimensional, the running joke of "Bad luck" never BUILDS UP or EXPANDS... #TenchiMuyoGXP

"Oh, he's unlucky!" Great! What are ya gonna do with it?

"Well..unlucky! He goes in to traffic!" GREAT! He crash, he starts a war, he pisses off the other half of the galaxy?

"...unlucky! Do we need to do more than that?" #TenchiMuyoGXP

...but Dual was funny, I liked the characters in Dual and I thought the unlikely hero story was done much better. From the get go here, it feels like the comedy just pedders or stagnates, never building up to something... #TenchiMuyoGXP

It's not that this BARELY had any ties to Tenchi itself as A, this was still in the same universe and B, even if it didn't have the Tenchi connection, Dual showed you can do a Tenchi like show and style WITHOUT Tenchi... #TenchiMuyoGXP

Overall, knowing what I know of the show now and rewatching the first two episodes, the best way I can sum up #TenchiMuyoGXP is...a broken promise.

Well, it turns out they jumped to a Jurian ship that decides to help 'em out! #TenchiMuyoGXP

Because Seina is brand new to both the GXP and space, figure give him the controls and have him randomly pick where to go...with the gag being he keeps jumping into traffic and other enemy ships. #TenchiMuyoGXP

Well, the best way to get out of there is to tek tek the tech and tech the jump to make the tech go far away from the enemy...until THEY tek tek the tech. #TenchiMuyoGXP

"Activate traps now!" If you wanna know why they're meowing, the pirate's weapons are robot mice.

Turns out when the ship attacking you has guns and you have...AT&T, best to cut and run. #TenchiMuyoGXP

He tries home directly...only it's a family of assholes, but he thankfully got to Kiriko...until war were declared outside. #TenchiMuyoGXP

Seina tries to pull an ET and phone home...only to see his buddy...at least according to the dub...jerking off...from his thigh... #TenchiMuyoGXP

"But...I thought...what about the---" Yeah, Seina thinks he was gonna go FWOOOOOOOOSH with hyperspace. This is if Now & Then, Here & There wasn't so miserable...or good... #TenchiMuyoGXP

"So, does it feel more like a spaceship to you, now?" Ya know, there's talk about doing this to airplanes, making it so you can see the whole outside while you're flying via cameras and such.

My reaction? "LET ME OUTTA HERE!" #TenchiMuyoGXP

Oh, and to give ya the heads up on the Dual connection...

*STAMP*

RETCON! Why are you so shocked? It's not lazy art design, of COURSE everybody in the Tenchi Universe OVA world is reincarnated from the ancient 1999 Earth of Dual, you're silly! #TenchiMuyoGXP

Up next, space, the big parking garage! Time to see how Mr. Unlucky does his first night out in "Invasion!" #TenchiMuyoGXP

This wasn't as bad as I remembered...but this sure as Hell wasn't good...or funny. I wasn't kidding when I said Milo Murphy did the lovable unlucky loser better. When a gag went long in that show, it built to a great punchline.

#TenchiMuyoGXP just stalls.

Due to mom forcing his digits on to the contract, Seina is taken to the GXP academy.

And before he can say the family was stupid to think it was a prize, they reveal that the GXP informed the family what happened...and they're too happy to see him go! #TenchiMuyoGXP

Because nobody knows GP means Galaxy Police, the family...

...FOR SOME ODD BALL REASON...

...thinks it's entering for a prize, so they force him to sign the damn thing with a fingerprint. #TenchiMuyoGXP

And...yeah, she's kinda pissed at the lipstick she spotted...on the 15 year old boy. #TenchiMuyoGXP

All of this to get to the home of his crush, and another adult woman...

Ya know, at least the excuse for Tenchi is that he was either close to their ages or they're immortal/age slow enough.

...Kiriko, played by Wendee Lee. #TenchiMuyoGXP

Well, this...for some reason...causes her to think he'd be a good candidate for the GXP! #TenchiMuyoGXP

"Tenchi must be giving you a good workout!" ...how do you know Tenchi?

Also, she's, Kona (Played by Dorothy Elias-Fahn) an adult woman and he's a high school student. #TenchiMuyoGXP

Much like Tenchi, Seina winds up accidentally running into a space woman that'll cause him trouble...except its the reverse as instead of him accidentally freeing her, she rescued the poor dope from drowning. #TenchiMuyoGXP

So, enjoy the first 3 to 5 minutes as we're reminded over and over and over and over that Seina, played by Tony Olver, has nothing but bad luck, from a woman's underwear falling to a flat tire just outside of Tenchi's house to remind you same universe. #TenchiMuyoGXP

Let's be honest right off the bat, it was EARLY Digital animation and it shows. The good news is so was Dual! but @discotekmedia.bsky.social's restoration of it, via it's SD on BD, cleaned up any errors and problems.

The bad news? #TenchiMuyoGXP has a lot of errors and problems.
