Tenchi Muyo Fox Kids Showings

Cool.. maybe, if they don't butcher it (how couldn't they). Any info on when exactly? I guess I could go look myself..

 

Fox Kids is really annoying sometimes... what with what they did to Escaflowne. Although they are worthy of praise, introducing thousands of kids to anime. (maybe later they'll grow up and start watching the unedited subs someday!)

Anyhow, the Tenchi release on Fox should be interesting to see, Cartoon Network has been running Tenchi Universe for quite a while, and now Tenchi in Tokyo (a bizarre series, even for Tenchi) and the dubs are stomachable, even though they still have traces of the "oh Belldandy, oh Keiichi" sound to most of the girls...
oh well, whatcha gunna do?

well, cutting out the opening theme might have been a necessary evil to have more of the actual series on air, that's my take on it. But anyways, I agree, if they use the CN dubs, it'll be fine, the only problem... CN can possibly get away with more than Fox Kids (difference in target audience, venue, etc.) we'll see how/what they do.
I'm glad they're showing it, tenchi universe, though not as cool as the OAV's, is a funny little series.
What will be interesting to watch is what Fox Kids does to Slayers, what with the PMS and breast size jokes running amok through that show! (several episodes are underlayed by the PMS joke )

PMS jokes.. I'll bet those stay in, euphamized of course. If kids are mature enough to understand 'that time of the month', they're mature enough. uhmm.. that was drawn out with my mental compass for circular logic

 

Why would Fox go after Tenchi? Cartoon Network has had the contract on it for quite a while now, and they've already done their editing, mostly covering up Ryoko's rampant nudity, etc.

 

heeheheh... Cartoon Network has been showing it for a long time...

I think they already ran through both Tenchi Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo two or three times in entirety.

I'm sorry, but I still don't like any dubbing of anime, especially the particular series that hvae been shown through syndication or on network channels. Usually syndicated ones aren't too bad... but ones that get translated cause a network pays for 'em usually suck or are just barely tolerable. IMO the latest batch of Sailor Moon on CN could have been done MUCH better (I better stop here or I'll rant for ages on that one)... and Escaflowne was just . . . (no comment). Although there are a few exceptions (such as Tenchi), it's generally the rule.

Also, anime does lose alot when censored/edited... good examples of this are Escaflowne and Gundam Wing.

Yes yes, CN has been running Tenchi Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo, the news is that they will be showing the Tenchi Muyo OAV's.
As to the rest, my sentiments exactly('sept the SM thing, I don't watch, therefore, I don't have an opinion on it), but my feeling on Escaflowne goes beyond simple cuts and edits, they cut an entire friggin' episode!
The Tenchi Muyo OAV's will require a lot of editing for CN though... Yokuburi's comment covers that. Makes me wonder how an all-subbed/uncut/all-anime channel would do (even if it had to be broadcast via the internet 'cause the FCC wouldn't let it on TV).
Hopefully this makes some sense, and if it does, hopefully I didn't communicate something I didn't intend to.

My mistake then...
I don't have CN to watch, so I don't stay up on what they do a lot of the time.

umm.. I was going to sign something here, right?

 

Pioneer has now started releasing the edited versions on VHS.
As for cutting out whole episodes, I've heard some real horror stories about the way it was 20 years ago (Robotech, BOTP). I'd have to say that today, Cartoon Network is about the best thing to come along (except I hear the Encore Action channel plays a lot of ADV's stuff uncut, but then it's a satellite channel). Oh, and let's get the execration of Saban going, I hear they were somewhat involved in the cutting of Escaflowne.

We want to play so perfectly
Can't wait for the production of the third Tenchi Muyo OAV series!

 

Yep... Encore Action shows ALOT of anime...

Yesterday they showed 2 chapters of Gunsmith Cats and Macross Plus (both unedited).

Thanks for reminding me to check the schedule though...

yeah, I saw Blue Seed on the Action Network(3 episodes though)on a free week type thing...I need to order that channel. In Tenchi in Tokyo, Toonami style, Ryoko jumps out of underwater in a hot spring (near the end) and you could actually see her nude, all though it was far away...still!

 

The tenchi OVA was the first of tenchi shown
on cartoon network!

 

What's a tenchi? And yes, i could kill the people who ruined Escaflowne that way. It's a sin to destroy such a masterpiece.
