Announced back towards the end of May 2014, a new Tenchi Muyo series was revealed that would be coming this fall, but it would be different than past incarnations. The series is getting a tentative name of Ai Tenchi Muyo! and now AIC has confirmed that they’re involved with it and will be opening a new site for the project this summer via Twitter. 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.
Original premise: Tenchi is an average guy with extraordinarily bad luck. To make matters worse, he just accidentally freed the ravishing space pirate Ryoko after 700 years of captivity! Now, attractive alien girls from across the galaxy are about to make his life more outrageous than ever imaginable. Can he survive the romantic entanglements of living with five lovely ladies – and unlock the secrets of his mysterious ancestry?
