Tenchi OVA 4 Status
-
One of my friends talked to some people at funimation and he told me that due to some confusing aspects of ova 4 Funimation will not be picking it up. Further more due to poor sales the contract renewal of the tenchi muyo series will not be renewed in 2020. This is very upsetting news.
-
Oh well.

Not surprising, really.
I don't get the "confusing aspects" bit, but I also don't expect elaboration, unless there is an official statement and not hearsay.
-
Which 4? There are 3 ova series and each one has a fourth ep. And now we have ova series #4 currently aring in japan
-
Unless you have proof,this is nothing more then hearsay.
-
as many series there are have a hard time believing sales are bad. each series is awesome even tho some of them could be longer.
-
Well as far as Funimation is concerned, The Tenchi series has run it's course for them. So more than likely they are just letting the license expire when the renewal comes up. You let a license expire when, sales on the BD DVD fall off, Streaming numbers decline to a fraction of what they were (if it were getting great streaming numbers you would renew the license because it's a title that keeps people visiting the site) , or you need to free up some cash for other licenses / projects.

The only Tenchi muyo property I care about is "war on geminar". The last Tenchi mayo OVA was not very good at all.
-
why would you care about that god forsaken series the only good Tenchi is Muyo, Universe, and Ryo Ohki @Desmond321
-
I like Duel! Parallel Trouble Adventure :D and GXP...also Geminar.
I pretty much like any of the Tenchi series that doesn't have Tenchi as the lead XD.
as much as I would love Funi to pick this OVA up I don't think they will. D:
didn't the OVA's just recently come out? are the sales that bad already? D: .... sad face....
-
only one episode of this new series has aired so far. gonna be large gaps between each ep
-
The 2nd episode was just released this week.
May for #3.
-
@Getchman isn't it too early to say it's not doing good then?
-
oh wait nvm I re-read what he said ....he meant the funimation contact holdings XD
haha for some weird reason I thought he meant sales in Japan....ugh...
-
This sounds like a lot of hearsay to me. They probably wouldn't announce it until all the episodes were out anyway and I think we'd find out if contracts were expiring.
-
I agree, OVAs that don't air on TV get announced that they've picked up once they are all out. If these were airing on TV, Funimation would have at least picked up the streaming rights.
