Point one: this is set after the movie: kudos for that.

Thanks.  One reason this was on my mind was me wondering about the further
adventures of Jay and Elle.

point two: Washuu-chan as security chief for the MIBnet,
interesting thought, I would have thought that would be an
in-house job though.

No no no.  Washuu is an outside consultant who is auditing the MIBnet
security system.  It's the sort of thing an organization would only do if
they were REALLY concerned with security because there is a chance of making
the actual security chief look like a complete idiot.  

Keeping it all in-house only ensures an audit that is in line with the
dynamic of the internal politics of the organization. All toes are pretty
much guaranteed to be safe from being stepped on.  For example, the Federal
Government normally only does internal security checks. To the best of my
knowledge there was only one Federal Government organization that used an
outside audit system... the Strategic Air Command.  What that meant was that
SAC's security was very, very good while the rest of the Government's
computers get hacked by teenage computer geeks all the time.  

>From what we saw in the movie, MIB's attitude toward security makes SAC look
casual about it.  BTW, I have no idea at all how MIB is _paying_ Washuu.
Any thoughts on that?

I liked the interview, is this the OVA (no Kiyone) or the
TV  Tenchi Muyo?

The OVA continuity.

I would like to see more of this, I think a little more
detail on Mihoshi would be nice but it was fun as is.

I'll see about that.

Although If I remember correctly, shouldn't Aeyeka be
screaming about Yosho's name as that was the person she was
looking for originally.

It's been a while, but I think Yosho's secret (at least his identity) was
revealed to Ayeka during the Kagato incident.  I remember him smiling at
her, and her turning kind of green at the thought of how old he looked.  Or
did I just dream that?

Thanks for the interest and the response.

Best,
