:Well I finally made it on this list.. *sigh of relief*... I tried
:before, and it didn't work.. but here I am...

    Welcome aboard!

:3)Thought that they should have put In Love in theaters like Ghost
:in the Shell(In the US), and should put Mid Summer's Christmas Eve
:in theaters as soon as they translate/dub..

    I don't think it will do particularly well if Pioneer tried to
    do this.  Tenchi Muyo may be popular among anime fandom, but
    anime itself is relatively unknown to the masses besides the
    usual icons of Speed Racer and Akira.  To appreciate TMiL or
    TM:ME requires that the audience are anime fans who are already
    familiar with the 1st TV series or the OVA series.  However,
    GitS is a film that can and does stand alone; it only requires
    that the audience is receptive towards some themes in science
    fiction.  Therefore, the potential audience reach for GitS is
    *far* greater than anything Tenchi Muyo; alternatively, the
    former can be viewed as a superset of the latter.

:4)I like the dubbed versions, but perfer the music to be in the
:original Japanese.

    Ummm... the music is the same for both Japanese and US releases,
    referring to TMiL and GitS (TM:ME doesn't count yet).  If you
    are thinking of the English song at the end of TMiL, you can get
    the Japanese version from a CD-Single, or one of the other CDs
    from Pioneer (it's not the TMiL soundtrack).

:5)Favorite character is: All - What makes that show great is the
:wonderful combination of personalities that blend perfectly.

    Here's some questions: what do you think of the interplay of the
    different personalities, compared between the OVA series and the
    TV series?  Do you think both are equal, just good in their own
    unique ways?  Or was one better than the other?  Were some
    character combinations trivialized while others became pivotal
    to the series?
