Takahashi City Producing New Tenchi Muyo Anime

Tenchi Muyo

In an effort to encourage tourism, Takahashi City in Okayama Prefecture is raising 16,840,000 yen ($165,293 USD) to fund the production of “Ai: Tenchi Muyo,” a new series of 50 five-minute Tenchi Muyo episodes that will air on the Tokyo MX network beginning in October. Since the new Tenchi Muyo series, like the earlier series, will be set in Takahashi, the city hopes that the new anime will encourage Japanese otaku to visit the city to see the real-life locations depicted in the new anime series. Tenchi Muyo creator Masaki Kajishima was born in Okayama Prefecture.
