I hope this evolution of the Tenchi Universe and it's characters does
not go unoticed with you the fanfic writers.

Having just seen MnE, I'm really not sure in which series to incorporate it.
To me, it seems like a fusion with a heavy TV bias:

1) Ryoko and Washu's connection is not stated, even though Washu seems to
pick on Ryoko like she does in the OAVs.
2) Ryo-Ohki never goes cabbit-girl.
3) Even though they call it a "Light Hawk Sword," it's stated clearly in the
OAV that the power for them comes from WITHIN Tenchi, not from Tsunami.  In
the TV series, Tenchi draws his power from both the Earth and Jurai - from
an external source.
4) Ayeka refers to the Funaho as being her brother's tree - in front of
Yosho!  Either she's in denial that he's her brother, or it's an interesting
dub slip.
5) If you look closely at Ryoko, she has no crystals.
6) Kiyone is there - yet she lives in the Masaki home?

Argh...headache.  I'm personally going to stuff it in the TV series.
