apparently memories aren't always positively embellished

Tenchi in Tokyo wasn't nearly as bad as I remembered it being (which I rated as 4/10). The thing that stuck out the most in my mind was the fugly character designs for the low-level baddies, and the too-frequent egregious super-deformity of the main characters. But those elements were most prevalent in the first half of the series, and the plot was actually quite enjoyable. I mean, definitely not as epic as in the OAV, or as shiny as in the original TV series, but good none-the-less. Plus, I really enjoyed watching Tenchi be an active part in a relationship (the part in ep. 25 definitely made my heart flutter a bit). In any case, I only upgraded the score to 6/10, but between the nostalgia, being a fan of the Tenchi franchise in general, and the series being more enjoyable than I remembered, I most emphatically do not regret buying the series.
Watching the third OAV now. I really want to review all the crazy revelations from that one, plus I never saw the 7th special episode. (I'd re-watch the first and second OAVs first, but their in MPLS, and I've watched them enough to remember what happened pretty well, and the third OAV does a bit of review where necessary.)
Blah, I need to go to Walgreens to meet up with a co-worker from Best Buy at 4:30 so I can pick up some things I lent her. Problem is, even though it's only a mile or so away, I'm feeling super lazy. Hopefully I'll be a bit more in the mood before I leave.
