The character designs for the new Ai Tenchi Muyo series have been released over the last month or so now and the official Twitter account for the project has updated with some new material. What we’ve gotten this time is a look at the cast side by side so we can see the height comparison and we’ve also got a new key visual, which you can see below. We’ve also got the full cast list announced for the project, which fleshes things out considerably. The show has the original creators involved in it heavily and Suzuhito Yasuda will be handling the character designs for it with a few pieces shown off for some of the main characters.
- Tenchi Misaki – Masami Kikuchi
- Momo Kawanagare – Nao Tōyama
- Beni Kinojyou – Yo Taichi
- Hachiko – Kana Yuki
- Hana Saryu – M・A・O
- Touri Fueyama – Ai Fukada
- Yuki Fuka – Azusa Satou
- Rui Aoi – Rui Tanabe
- Ukan Kurihara – Ayako Kawasumi
- Ryoko – Ai Orikasa
- Aeka – Haruhi Terada
- Sasami – Chisa Yokoyama
- Wasyu – Yuko Kobayashi
- Mihoshi – Yūko Mizutani
The idea behind this incarnation is is that they’ll be producing fifty episodes of the series – at five minutes an episode. That pushes the show more towards just being a comedy with some romantic material likely thrown in to keep it hopping. The series is expected to begin broadcast in October 2014 via Tokyo MX. The project brings back original creator Kajishima Masaki to work on it.
Plot concept: The world is in trouble because Washu is stirring up trouble again. In order to save the world from crisis, Tenchi goes undercover as a teacher in a girls’ school. However, many problems arise as Tenchi is predisposed to finding trouble.
