Is the Segway Personal Transporter useless? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segway What is the use of it when you can simply walk? Its just a waste of money as it doesnt even go fast( So it doesnt really save time ). Its just a gimmick to make us look high-tech...

Ladies: Do you find men who ride Segway Personal Transporters irresistibly sexy? Would you go on a date with? one of these bad boys if they had an extra helmet?

If you had a personal "Star Trek" type transporter and could phase in and out of anywhere.?

How do you do the disappearing special effect on video? So for English we have to do an ad for a product we make up, so my group is doing a personal transporter. Our idea involves jumping on a trampoline and "disappearing", then reappearing on a different trampoline. So i was wondering how you would make us disappear on the video? And what would be the best (free) program to use? (We have a PC and Mac in my group, and on my desktop i also have RealPlayer SP)

Any courier/package transporter you know that can deliver packages from Philippines to Guam? I am planning to send packages (personal stuffs such as my clothes, books shoes) from Philippines to Guam. Any suggested shipper? Also, how much is the rate per kilo, and how long is the shipping period?

Any mover/shipper/package transporter you know that can move packages from Philippines to Guam?

What is the next evolution in personal transportation beyond the automobile and when? We Americans are stuck on the automobile. We want to make it more fuel efficient, but when we do, we can't carry or tow anything in it! Does somebody have something on a drawing board, at least that is gonna get us what we need, beyond just moving our own bodies around? A transporter perhaps?

Biology what is substrate, L transporter & Amino Acids question? I need someone (who understands biology) to explain the paragraph below in laymans terms. with regard to what it could mean in Human pregnancy, if the same were to happen as in mice and rats etc. i.e how important are the large amino acids, what is their job, what is an L transporter and is the paragraph below saying that it's job is inhibited by the drug. Is it a good thing that it doesn't bind to plasma proteins? "Pregabalin does not bind to plasma proteins. The apparent volume of distribution of pregabalin following oral administration is approximately 0.5 L/kg. Pregabalin is a substrate for system L transporter which is responsible for the transport of large amino acids across the blood brain barrier. Although there are no data in humans, pregabalin has been shown to cross the blood brain barrier in mice, rats, and monkeys" If someone could put an explanation after each sentance that would be great, i know it's a lot to ask but I ask the question for personal reasons which I am sure you can draw your own conclusions from. Thank you very much.

What is involved in becoming a Courier? I am about to graduate from Uni and am toying with the idea of starting my own Courier firm. I have my eye on a good VW Transporter van (the VW equivalent of a Transit van) with which to start, myself as the driver (so basically, for a while, I'd be a long-distance white man man!). As I progress I would buy better and bigger vehicles whilst offering the same good, reliable and personal service. I have a gimmick which I believe will put me ahead of rival, more established firms (nothing big, just enough to give me a bump start in to the market). So what is involved, after I buy my own van- or is that really all there is to it (obviously including the right insurance etc etc). Thanks! Originally I thought of becoming a motorcycle Courier but wrote off the idea as being A) too unsafe, B) a lot colder than being sat in a van and C) you're limited to how much stuff you can carry. UNLESS I applied for some sort of license to go armed, and dealt with small, secure packages?... I'm in the UK

If you could own one piece of technology from the future, what would it be? [[ The energy to power it not in question, assuming it would run by itself with unlimited power. ]] There's so much technology to choose from! Anything you've ever seen, imagined, heard of, watched them use in a tv show... anything! What would be the coolest technology to have? Here's a few of my answers: 1. A cloaking device like Klingons and Romulans use on my car 2. Holodecks like in Star Trek: TNG and beyond. You can do anything in there! 3. Replicators: Want a plate of spaghetti or a Frappucino? Just tell the computer! 4. Morphing Grid: Yeah, from Power Rangers. Dumb, I know, but with that and a Power Coin, you could become 10x the person you were! Too bad you gotta wear spandex. 5. Personal Transporter: Just beam yourself from here to whever in a split second and there's no driving time! What about you guys? Anything at all! What would be the greatest piece of technology to own? And I almost forgot! Batman's grappling gun and/or full utility belt! Hell's yes! I really shoulda thought this out. There's so many I want. Add Samus Aran's Varia / Gravity Suit to the list!

Man buys Segway company, dies after going off cliff on a Segway. Why this tragedy? Segway owner dies after falling off river cliff "The body of 62-year-old Jimi Heselden and a Segway personal transporter were found in the River Wharfe and he was pronounced dead at the scene, West Yorkshire Police said. "Heselden, who bought control of the Bedford, New Hampshire-based Segway company in December, made his fortune through his firm Hesco Bastion Ltd., which developed a successful blast wall system that replaced the sand bags once used to protect troops in Iraq and Afghanistan."

How "new" is a new car.? I've bought a new car. I live in Northern Ireland and the car is being delivered from England in three weeks time. I have not bought it from a dealer as such - it is a company that does hire purchase, personal loan, personal contract hire etc. My question is what kind of condition can I expect car to be in. Any miles at all on the clock i.e. it obviously has to be driven onto transporter, if so how many miles on the clock is acceptable? Will the plastic wrapping be still on the seats? You can probably tell I've never bought a new car before. Anything else you can suggest I should check for? Thanks

Vehicle leasing? I have seen (what looks like) a good vehicle leasing deal on a VW transporter ("from" £168 pm) but it isn't something I have done before. Can anyone fill me in on the basics here? Am I right to believe that after a while the vehicle will belong to my company? What are the pitfalls and things to watch of for? What about insurance: could I just tranfer my existing personal vehicle insurance to this vehicle or would I need new insurance (I would use it as a private vehicle as well, commute to work etc). Thanks

NC laws for ex cop car decals? I'm a local car dealer I want to know the exact law yes or no not some Personal idea because I've heard diff from diff people. I bought a cop car yesterday at the insurance auction and it's been Stripped of all major equip and lights sirens and the county decals And it says sherrrif patrol on sides. The auction claims that as long as There's no funky business then I can buy it and drive it until it's sold Without a problem. I need to know if it needs to be registered with the Sherrie Or something in order to drive it for a few days I know u can get Charged with impersonating a police officer but I'm pretty sure You would have to be giving a reason to get charges. Can I drive it saying sherrif patrol on side? It doesn't say what county Or have lights and sirens or radios any longer and the county stickers Are gone as well. I want to know the exact truthful Answer if it's illegal Or not because cops say yes because they are cops but what's the Law against it and can I drive it and sell it like that as a dealer driving The car with a transporter tag as is because I bought it like that and Will only be driving it for a week or so. I know it's a hard to answer question And remember I'd be driving it as is with a transporter tag til it sells No I wasn't foolish buying a 2010 10k mile rt charger for 7k it's called a business Making a living and I didn't ask an opinion obv nobody knows the real answer I'd really like to know because the way the decals are I'd have to repaint the car from sun Damage and would be two tone and two some people buy them for off road events And the park for security reasons and facilities and auction so some people Just just might want it like that so I'd rather just keep the decals on there And it's not a personal tag it's a dealer tag for transporting and as is until sold

Lol, sorry for the terrible examples but those are the best visuals I could give as to my long term goal. How do bodybuilders get and stay motivated to train? Where can I find all the scientific and training info I need to successfully bodybuild on my own ? Heather. Thank you but I know that. Lol. I'm talking about sources where I can find things like diets or workout routines that are the most efficient. lol

Is a company called "ABC Transport SA" fraudulent or legitimate? I received an e-mail for a job offer with a company called ABC Transport SA. Normally when I see stuff like this in my e-mail, I immediately toss it in the trash bin as a phishing scam or some similar form of malicious content. However, I was struck by the simple tone of this e-mail. It wasn't from a Nigerian address, nor did it have poorly constructed English grammar. It seemed legit on the surface, so I sent a reply asking for further information but being careful not to provide any personal information. I got back an e-mail stating they would pay $60,000 per annum for working from home helping them with customer service online and over the phones. Moreover, the application just wanted my address, my phone number, my name, gender, and date of birth. They didn't ask for a Social Security #, a bank routing #, etc. However, I was told by Erika Friske, who claims to be one of their managers, that the website for the company is www.abctransportsa.com, and when I go there, it's a dead website. Moreover, when I try to find information on them via a web search, all I get is hits about a "ABC Transporter protein" involved in vitamin B12 metabolism. When I exclude these kinds of hits from the search, I get 3 hits: 1 is the dead website, 1 is a hit about a Nigerian bus line, and the other is a dead file. So I'm extremely dubious about this company. I am curious, therefore, to know if anyone else out there has had any dealings with "ABC Transport SA". If so, did they attempt to phish you for information? Did they end up being a legitimate, LEGAL, paying company, or did they just rip you off? Thanks for any light you can shed and God bless you!

should i take my DVD collection when i move? In september i am moving to China (from the US) tfor 3 years, and i was wondering what i should do with my DVD collection...i have 300+ DVDs and i love movies. I know how cheap DVDs are over there, 1/3 of my collection is from there...BUT will customs want to take my collection if i show up in Hong Kong with a suitcase full of DVDS? there aren't multiples (as in i dont have 50 "transporter 3's") so they really can't think i will be bringing them to sell, right? It's just my personal movie library. . . .

Help me with my english homework? Hi! my name is andrea, I'am from Peru, i have an english homework, can you tell me if this is correct? : Children in the future In the future, parents will be able to choose their children's physical characteristics. It will be possible to choose the color of their hair, eyes, and skin. In the future, children will be advanced, and able to attend school at 1 year of age. After the traditional 11 years of school, they will then attend a university. The school will be in other country and the university in other planet. In the future, we will have many kinds of nutritious beverages for our children to drink that will improve their minds, and make them more intelligent. All children will have their personal robot which can help them to do all they want. In the future, the parties will be in the moon. Children will have their candies Tele transporter, this will be like a mobile phone, but when you send a message with the name of the candy that you want it will appears immediately. If you add to this paragraph more things or you correct it I will be very happy (:

RACISM is beautiful, TELL ME WRONG>>>>>? The secret to beating the level of racism is to become a racist yourself.. race is the only perception of a problem dividing people in reality, but it's not a problem. There are flaws with every race, so you must see and accept the flaws of each race to rise above the judgments. To deny anything is to create negative energy. So here is my breakdown of race. BLACK PEOPLE = are lazy when it comes to work, because they are masters of creation, they would prefer to have fun creating life with their time than go to work, like a monkey in the jungle they are wild and free. History says they were tricked to leave the jungles of Africa to work for the white man. Crime is also a way to have fun, most black people get away with the crimes they commit, except for drug dealers who get greedy and don't know when to quit. People of South America are also dark skinned and are like a new version of black people. WHITE POEPLE = they are the most recent version of human beings, and were created to work, work, work, and worship their imaginary creator. They write books and invent stuff. In the current version of reality and since the day I was born they have been doing all the work while black people have been reaping the benefits. So they really were working for black people when they took them out of Africa, they were the transporters for blacks to claim their Kingdom in this new world. Accept that any history that you learned about black people before you were born is told from the white perspective to suit their version of reality, same can be said for history told from the black perspective. In my perception ALL history is just a fantasy story created from the question"What was?". The only history I accept as my truth is my own personal experience since the day I was born, and before that nothing existed. I have been alive since the beginning of time. Everything that has ever happened, all happened within my lifetime and is just perceived as before me. It all happens in my imagination, like software programming. To create the perception of 10,000 years ago all I have say is "it happened 10,000 years ago", when the truth is everything happens right now inside my mind, it's all programming. INDIANS - They are also master creators and live on the highest level of creation, they are also from the jungle. Raising themselves to higher levels of experience resulted in them creating a story of the white man to come in kill them and take their land, but in their reality none of them died, they just ascended to a higher level and left the white man with a copy of the land to work on for the black people to come and claim it in this current new world order. Indians fly Spaceships and exists on energy levels much higher than the reality you know right now. ASIANS - They are technology and manage all the money of the world. All the money is in digital form now, not gold or paper. They have light skin so naturally that means they also work like slaves, but happy slaves. ARABS are a religious version of Asians, created to fight white people... religious mind slaves fighting mind slaves is needed to advance technology:) SPANISH/MEXICANS- They love drama, and thats their purpose. To work and have family drama. Drama is negative energy, there is no such thing as a 60% positive Spanish person. They worship white people, so that puts them on a lower level than white people.

Does anyone know of a good, low cost car transport company that runs from Melbourne to Perth in Australia? Hi! I am moving from Melbourne to Perth and need to get my car accross by the end of May 2010. I am looking for a car transport company that allow you to put your personal gear inside- all the companies I have rung require the car to be completely empty or to have nothing that isnt bolted down inside. Does anyone know a good company they can recommend? I did this move from Perth to Melbourne just over three years ago through a company called JJ Car Transporters (homebase in Rockingham,W.A.), but they dont appear to be listed anymore. Does anyone know if they have changed their operating name? Any info on this matter would be much appreciated! x:-)

first time job searching.......? I'm a senior in high-school, currently looking for a part time and/or weekend job at a hardware store, for personal reason particularly Lowe's. I would really like a job hauling, because I seem to find heavy lifting quite relaxing, as odd as that might sound( I also used to live on a farm if that helps make any sense). Anyway i wanted to know how docks at places like that work. Does the transporter do the loading/unloading or does every store have their own people for that?

Parallel Trouble Adventure (1999) Sasami: Mahō Shōjo Club (2006) Tenchi Muyo! (天地無用!, Tenchi Muyō!?), is an anime, light novel, and manga series about a boy named Tenchi Masaki and the alien women who loved him. The original series, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, is a six episode OVA (Original Video Animation or Direct-to-Home Video) series; released in Japan in 1992–93. As its popularity grew, it spurred a seventh episode (also known as the Tenchi Special) and the stand alone Mihoshi Special. In 1994-95, the second OVA series was created and released, featuring episodes 8–13. From 2003 to 2005, a third OVA series was released, with episodes 14–19, centering around the three goddesses introduced in the second OVA series. This is then followed by a special twentieth episode which centered around some of the remaining plot threads towards Tenchi's mother, as well as Noike, who was introduced in episode 15. The series can be somewhat confusing too, due to it having several continuities. The Tenchi Muyo franchise has a manga series developed after an animated version was released, when typically the reverse is true. Tenchi Muyo! was one of the early successes for AIC, the animation company behind it, which went on to create El-Hazard, Battle Athletes, Oh My Goddess!, Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure and many other anime series. The main artist for the series is Masaki Kajishima. The name of the manga is a play on words. Tenchi muyō (天地無用, Tenchi muyō?) in Japanese means "This way up", a phrase written, for example, on boxes to show they should not be upturned. 無用 muyō also means "unnecessary", thus with a lead character "Tenchi" this name could also mean "unnecessary Tenchi", more often translated to "No need for Tenchi" (even so far as the episode titles for the first TV series to have the running gag of having the titles start with "No need for...") The name 'Tenchi' also means 'Heaven (or the sky) and Earth' so one could also take the title to mean "No Need for Heaven and Earth."

Tenchi TV/Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo are spin-offs that utilize the same characters, with the addition of Kiyone Makibi, though the back story is quite different from the original OVAs. The first of the spin-offs was Tenchi Muyo! TV (also known as Tenchi Universe), in 1995; it is a twenty-six episode TV series that retells the original series differently. This anime was one of a few anime to be broadcast on PBS member station KTEH in San Jose, California.[citation needed] [edit] Tenchi Muyo! OVA series, Kajishima canon Main article: Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki The canon accepted by series creator Kajishima is as follows: Animation Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA 1 (episodes 1-6) Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA 1 Special, The Night Before the Carnival (episode 7) Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA 2 (episodes 8-13 + the bonus episode 13.5) Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki OVA 3 (episodes 14-19) Tenchi Muyo!

GXP 01 (novel, novel form of the TV series with very little NB) Tenchi Muyo! GXP 02 (novel, 2006 release) Tenchi Muyo! GXP 03 (novel, 2006 release; contains lots of stuff not seen in the anime) Various dōjinshi from Kajishima Various interviews with Kajishima The book 101 Questions and Answers of Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Oh-Ki (also titled 101 Secrets) [edit] Tenchi Muyo! OVA series, Hasegawa canon Naoko Hasegawa, writer of episodes 3 and 5 the first OVA series, uses a different continuity, which includes the following: Animation Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki OVA 1 (episodes 1-6) Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki Galaxy Police Mihoshi's Space Adventure (also known as the Mihoshi Special), though except for the framing sequence, much of the story is as an exaggeration by Mihoshi and is not considered canon. Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki Manatsu no Eve (Tenchi Muyo! Daughter of Darkness) (movie 2) Other Materials Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki Manatsu no Carnival (radio drama) A series of 13 novels by Hasegawa, including the Manatsu no Eve book upon which the movie was based upon. A few characters from OVA 2 (episodes 8-13.5), such as Tokimi, Emperor Azusa, and Empress Misaki, make appearances in Hasegawa's novels. However, the episodes and events from OVA 2, as well as episode 7, do not take place in Hasegawa's canon. Hasegawa also worked on the TV series, which includes her characters Kiyone and (in the movies) Achika, but the TV series is not considered to be in the same continuity. [edit] Tenchi Universe, a.k.a. the Negishi canon Main article: Tenchi Universe Called the "Negishi canon", after Hiroshi Negishi, the director who was the main creative force behind the series and connecting movies, Tenchi Universe (known as Tenchi Muyo! TV in Japan) has no sentient Jurai trees, Ayeka is not closely related to Katsuhito, and Washu is the person sealed in the cave. Kiyone has a major role in this series. Also, this series has a stronger emphasis on Ryoko, as shown in the show's opening credits and in some episodes, as well as Tenchi Forever. Animation Tenchi Muyo! TV (Tenchi Universe), 26 episodes Tenchi Muyo! in Love (movie 1) Tenchi Muyo! in Love 2: Haruka Naru Omoi (Tenchi Forever!) (movie 3) Other Material A manga, also written by Negishi, was produced as a tie in to TMiL2, though it is uncertain if this manga is part of established Negishi canon: Tenchi Muyo! In Love 2: Eternal Memory (manga) [edit] Tenchi in Tokyo Main article: Tenchi in Tokyo Shin Tenchi Muyo! (known as Tenchi in Tokyo in English), in 1997, is a third version of the story, centered on Tenchi's high school adventures in Tokyo. It is also a twenty-six episode TV series and many of the returning main characters have been portrayed differently with some slight personality changes. Animation Shin Tenchi Muyo! (26 episodes) [edit] Movies There are also three movies: Tenchi Muyo! in Love, Tenchi Muyo! Manatsu no Eve (The Daughter of Darkness) (1997), and Tenchi Muyo! in Love 2: Haruka Naru Omoi (Tenchi Forever!), 1999. Movies 1 and 3 are intended to be in, and match with, the Tenchi Universe continuity. Movie 3 concludes the Tenchi Muyo! TV (Universe) series. The continuity of movie 2 is more complicated. It is written by Naoko Hasegawa, who co-wrote the first OVA series and wrote several Tenchi novels in Japanese; the movie is based on one of her novels. Movie 2 is sometimes believed to be in Tenchi Universe continuity because of the presence of Kiyone and because Ayeka refers to my brother's tree instead of your tree while speaking to Katsuhito. Neither of these are related to Tenchi Universe; Kiyone is present because she originated from Hasegawa's OVA-based novels, and the Ayeka line is a misleading translation. In reality, the movie is an animated version of the Hasegawa novel of the same name, and is part of her continuity. In Japanese, a name or title may be used in some circumstances where English would require a pronoun; saying "brother's tree" to Katsuhito does not mean that her brother is someone other than him. Furthermore, in the Universe series it is never demonstrated that she has a brother. Tenchi Muyo! in Love (1996) Tenchi Muyo! in Love was the first of the Tenchi films, taking place within the Universe timeline. The movie is about how the gang must save Tenchi from utter disappearance by capturing a criminal named Kain, which had traveled back in time to destroy Tenchi's mother, Achika so that Tenchi isn't born to threaten his conquest of Jurai. In order to save Achika and Tenchi, Tenchi and crew travel back in time to the year of 1970 to protect Achika. Tenchi Muyo! Daughter of Darkness (1997) Tenchi the Movie 2: The Daughter of Darkness (Manatsu no Eve) is the second Tenchi movie. The movie is about a girl named Mayuka who appears out of nowhere claiming to be Tenchi's daughter. Ryoko and Ayeka are jealous and/or suspicious, Sasami befriends her, Kiyone and Mihoshi are the same, and Washu suspects something. Mayuka turns out to have been created by the demonic villain Yuzuha, who wanted revenge on Yosho because after befriending Yosho as a child she was banished by Jurai. Tenchi Forever! (1999) Tenchi Forever! (Tenchi Muyo! in Love 2) is a continuation of the first TV series (Tenchi Universe) and sequel to the original film. After a fight between Ryoko and Ayeka, Tenchi runs into the mountains to be seduced by a beautiful woman and disappears. Six months later, he is found with a woman named Haruna and he has forgotten his previous life. [edit] Manga The Tenchi manga consists of two series, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-oh-ki and Shin Tenchi Muyo! (the shin here means new and has no connection to the second television series, Shin Tenchi Muyo) are written by Hitoshi Okuda. They have been released in America as No Need for Tenchi and The All-New Tenchi Muyo!. Unlike most anime/manga combinations, for Tenchi the anime came first, and the manga is considered non-canon. It is based on OVA series 1 and 2. Since the manga originally began in Japan before the release of OVA 2, the OVA 2 elements are not introduced immediately at the beginning. Because the manga is non-canon, new elements introduced in the manga do not carry over to the anime. Manga series released in the US: "No Need for Tenchi" series! (Volumes 1-2, earlier half of volume 3, 4-6, first half of 7, and 8-12.) "No Need for Tenchi: Magical Girl Pretty Sammy" (Later half of Volume 3, based on the "Pretty Sammy" OVAs. Not thought of as part of the manga storyline) "No Need for Tenchi: Tenchi in Love" (Second half of Volume 7, based on the first Tenchi movie. Has characters from the Tenchi Universe timeline. Not thought of as part of the manga storyline) "Tenchi Muyō: Sasami Stories" (A collection or reprint of several of the Sasami related events that happened in the No Need for Tenchi! manga series. However, the book itself is in the new smaller format, and also features bonus comics in the back that were printed over the years. The bonus comics are not thought of as part of the overall manga story.) "The All-New Tenchi Muyō!" (Volumes 1-10; It continues the No Need for Tenchi! manga, but with a smaller page format. Introduces several new characters that weren't in the original manga.) [edit] Spin-offs The first Tenchi spinoff is the Pretty Sammy, the Magical Girl series, a magical girl series where Sasami is the lead character. The first use of Pretty Sammy was in the Tenchi Muyo! Sound File, a Japanese-only music video release. The same animation was used in the ending of the Mihoshi Special. In 1995, a three episode Pretty Sammy OVA series began, where Sasami, who is known as Sasami Kawai, magically becomes Pretty Sammy. The second Pretty Sammy is a TV series (titled in America as Magical Project S), which came out in 1996. This series is a separate continuity from the OVA series. Pretty Sammy also appears in the Mihoshi Special and in an alternate reality sequence in the Tenchi Universe series. The second is Tenchi Muyo! GXP, which was released in Japan in 2001. The series takes place during the Kajishima version of the OVA continuity, and is set a year after the events of the third OVA series despite being released first chronologically. The main character of this twenty-six episode TV series is Seina Yamada, a friend of Tenchi Masaki who accidentally joined the Galaxy Police. Many characters from Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki make appearances in this series, including the use of Seiryo as a major character and a full-fledged Tenchi Muyo! crossover in episode 17. Sasami: Mahou Shoujo Club, currently shown in Japan as 2006, is recognized as the third spin-off with Sasami, known here as Sasami Iwakura, as the main character. The animation style here is saccharine compared to the other titles, but the hold over characters from the franchise (particularly Misao of Pretty Sammy) are still fairly recognizable. Other versions of Tenchi Muyo! are also available as graphic novels, video games and radio dramas. The series Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure is also thought to be related to the Tenchi Muyo universe, due to the blatant use of the "Lighthawk Wings" associated with the Jurai dynasty in Tenchi Muyo. Mecha Jinv from Dual! appear in Tenchi Muyo! GXP, Kiyone, Ramia, and Misao appear in a brief easter egg cameo in the series' OVA special, and there is much speculation concerning the ancient civilization that the character "D" is from. Kajishima has hinted that Dual! does, in fact, relate to Tenchi Muyo!. The creator of both DUAL! and Tenchi Muyo!, Masaki Kajishima, confirmed that DUAL! is in fact an alternate version of the Tenchi Muyo! universe. [edit] English adaptations distributor history The manga is published in English in North America by Viz Communications. In Singapore it is published in English by Chuang Yi as No Need for Tenchi! Pioneer USA (now Geneon Entertainment) has brought out most of the releases in the USA up to 2002. They released the Tenchi OVA series, the Mihoshi Special episode, both of the Tenchi Muyo! television series, and all three of the Tenchi Muyo! movies. Pioneer USA has also distributed the Pretty Sammy spinoff, with both the Pretty Sammy OVAs and Magical Project S TV series. On DVD the Mihoshi Special is released with Pretty Sammy, not with the rest of the Tenchi series. OVA1 and OVA2 were released on DVD in the UK in 2004. A single boxset was released in the UK which includes OVA1, OVA2 and the Mihoshi Special. When first aired in 2000 on Cartoon Network's Toonami in America, Cartoon Network did some editing to the character's lines. The girls (mostly Ryoko) often drink 'tea' throughout the series. However, their 'tea' is often poured and distributed like sake, a Japanese rice wine. Characters often begin to blush, slur their words together, hiccup, and slowly decline in their mannerisms as they chugged down their 'tea.' This was done to prevent backlash from the more conservative American audiences. The delivery of lines from the characters, however, implies that the characters are aware of the double entendre (ex.: "You can't drink THAT kind of 'tea' at school!") In addition to substituting 'tea' for sake, Cartoon Network also digitally painted swimsuits on several female character to cover up nudity during bathhouse scenes, and carried out extensive edits for language and other adult content, including references to sex, masturbation, and 'peeping'. FUNimation Productions licensed the second Tenchi Muyo! spinoff series Tenchi Muyo! GXP for distribution in the United States in 2003, and released it in 2004. FUNimation also licensed the third OVA series and released it on DVD starting July 2005. FUNimation has kept most of the original dub voice cast except for Petrea Burchard, who dubbed Ryoko's voice in the Pioneer/Geneon releases. She is replaced by Mona Marshall in the GXP and OVA 3 series. [edit] Locations Alpha – A planet from the Tenchi Muyo!

The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. The creator of Tenchi Muyo!, Masaki Kajishima, named several of the characters after locations in his Okayama Prefecture hometown. [1] Guardians of Order published an English-language role-playing game based on OVA Episodes 1-13. The game, now out of print due to the expiring of the license, was moderately successful but is mainly of interest for combining many of the design elements that would be incorporated a few months later into the second edition of Big Eyes, Small Mouth and for the insights its writers gave on Tenchi's dilemma. The Japanese title logo of Tenchi Muyo! makes a cameo appearance as graffiti in issue 1 of the Mark Waid / Alex Ross graphic novel series Kingdom Come, right after Norman McCay leaves Wesley Dodds's funeral and starts walking through the streets.
