    Ah, the old Ctrl-L doesn't work as page break anymore. :)

    Yes, and the episode, and the art (kind of) and the ending...

    I watched it in Japanese, so I couldn't comment on that.

    Notice that Yosho haven't age a single bit for the pass 700 years.
That's scary.  Either Tenchi heads to Jurai, or everyone will be only a
year older when Tenchi's 80.  Scary.  Ryoko doesn't even age, of course.

    The episode was kind of quiet for me, though it did answered alot
of questions and raises twice as much questions and mysteries. ^^;
I'm not surprised if there's a 202.

>I get the impression that there will be more Tenchi in the future -

    Yup, they announced another series right?  Having Tenchi leaving
earth (and be useful again hopefully) raises hopes for me.  I want
this really cool storyline that can rival part one.  Of course, I'm 
asking too much. ^_^;

Here's something I wrote:

    I have to disagree because most definitely I judge the series
differently.  I judge by story and artowrk together.  The artwork in
series two never went up to par as part one.  I was majorly disappointed
when I saw the OP, and I was hesitated whether to show it to my friend 
or not.  I found "Sasami and Tsunami" has nice artowrk, but then Sasami's
pony tail is supposed to be round, not flat.  Series two her pony tail
flattened and you can see a flip on the top.  Just little things that add 
up to larger ones.

    Story wise, though the title IS Tenchi "Muyo", I really expected Tenchi
to be useful when Ryoko was captured! ):-)  Oh well, again it's just me.
