posted on by Karen Ressler
An official Twitter account and website opened on Friday to announce a Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki Dai-4-Ki (4th Season) project.
The main cast, returning from Ai: Tenchi Muyo!, includes:
- Masami Kikuchi as Tenchi Masaki
- Ai Orikasa as Ryōko
- Haruhi Nanao as Aeka
The website also announces a November 28 event in Takahashi in Okayama Prefecture. The event will focus on the most recent anime, Ai: Tenchi Muyo!, as well as the newly-announced Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki Dai-4-Ki anime. The three main cast members, along with Ai: Tenchi Muyo!'s Rui Tanabe (Rui Aoi) and Azusa Satō (Yuki Fuka), will attend the event.
Ai: Tenchi Muyo! premiered last October. The city of Takahashi sponsored the series of shorts.
The Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki Dai-2-Ki (Second Season) OVA launched in 1994, and the Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki Dai-3-Ki (Third Season) OVA launched in 2003. They are both sequels to the 1993 Tenchi Muyo! Omatsuri Zenjitsu no Yoru! (Tenchi Muyo! The Night Before The Carnival) OVA, which is itself a sequel to the original 1992 Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki OVA. Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki Dai-3-Ki also inspired the spinoff Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki Dai-3-Ki Plus 1 (Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki: Final Confrontations) in 2005.
Geneon Entertainment and later FUNimation Entertainment released Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki, Tenchi Muyo! The Night Before The Carnival, and Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki Dai-2-Ki on home video. Funimation also released Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki Dai-3-Ki and Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki: Final Confrontations.
