Surprise, we have another Limited Edition release to unbox which is also now OOP. I ordered this item from Rightstuf for the first time and it didn't take as long as I expected.
Note that this post has been updated on 26th July 2017 to reflect the current blog format.
Tenchi Muyo! OVA Collection is a collection of the first two OVA series in the franchise. The two OVAs are called Ryo-Ohki and Ryo-Ohki 2, released in 1992 and 1994 respectively. The series was animated by studio AIC and published by NBC Universal Entertainment Japan (also known as Geneon Universal or Geneon Entertainment back in the day). The two series both contain six episodes each and is the starting point of the franchise itself.
The show was initially released by Pioneer Entertainment (later known as Geneon) with an English dub before the rights being rescued by Funimation. Interestingly enough the two OVAs were able to receive a remaster on Blu-ray without any sort of upscale so it looks pretty good in high definition.
This release from Funimation is the limited edition version, which at the time was the only one around. The limited edition includes a box to house the DVD cases as well as a mini booklet. Both OVA series are available in English & Japanese audio with English subtitles. The subtitles are unlockable and the regions are locked to A & 1 NTSC only. It's worth noting that this limited edition set has long been out of print and I was just lucky enough to find the set on Rightstuf, also my copy never came with the usual info sheet which is quite bizarre to say the least.
The 1993 OVA episode The Night Before The Carnival is also included with this release.

Plot Synopsis (via Funimation):
In the beginning, there was Tenchi. Back when the only cure for an anime fix was a trip to the mall to load up on VHS tapes. Back when cable television first introduced this amazing new genre to American fans. The times may have changed since those good old days, but we’re thrilled to be bringing Tenchi back! A true classic never goes out of style, and Tenchi is the original anime harem comedy that started it all.
Tenchi is an average guy with extraordinarily bad luck. And to make matters worse, he just accidentally freed the ravishing space pirate Ryoko after 700 years of captivity! Now, attractive alien girls from across the galaxy are about to make his life more outrageous than ever imaginable! Can he survive the romantic entanglements of living with five lovely ladies - and unlock the secrets of his mysterious ancestry? Find out in the anime that launched a thousand harems.
