The Abridged Series of ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' by [http://www.youtube.com/user/Lighthawkforce Lighthawkforce]. This series focuses more on characterisation than [[Lampshade Hanging]], unlike many other Abridged series.
 
The key to '''''Tenchi Muyo Abridged'''''{{'}}s humour is in the characters' personalities, which receive a marked change from their original counterparts. The series is fast paced, both in [[Casual Danger Dialog|action sequences]] and [[Snark -to -Snark Combat|dialogues]]. The writing in Tenchi Muyo Abridged is takes few influences from pop culture and other abridged series, and is based more in the characters reacting to one another and the insanity that surround them; creating more like a [[Gag Series]] who happens to had the same characters, more or less. While Flanderization does exist, it would be easier to take the Characters as new entities for those who aren't fans and like their psychotic versions for those who are.
 
The editing displays a lot of heavy footage tampering, with various things inserted or characters pasted in where they shouldn't be. This became so intense in the season finale that its entire ending was a completely new sequence not seen in the anime at all. (The creators stated that the anime's original ending was such a big [[Anticlimax]] that they decided to fix it.)

{{tropelist}}
This show provides examples of:
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Ayeka and Ryoko like to get wasted and share... [[Les Yay|intimate moments.]]
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Subverted. In the original series, Tenchi objected to the girls' exposure to him, while in this series he seems to enjoy it.
Line 37:
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: The clay story arc so far, filled with fanservice, throwbacks to old gans, references, epic but funny scenes and to top it all off another cameo from ed and al of the same teams Fullmetal alchemist abridged... it's coming back!
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Too many to list, but one that sticks out most is the Chores song, complete with roof hammering to the beat.
{{quote| ''"Chores! Chores! Chores! Oh my god, chores! Let's do some chores! Let's do some chores! Let's do some''- '''"GRAMPA SHUT THE FUCK UP"'''.}}
* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: TTenchi
{{quote| '''TenchinTenchi''': ''(laughing) "They censored her face."'' <br />
'''Ryoko''': ''"Feel lucky you're in this episode at all"'' <br />
'''Tenchi''': '' [[Captain Obvious|"It's funny cos she's ugly."]]'' }}
** Also:
{{quote| '''Tenchi''': ''[[Running Gag|"Ha! ItsIt's funny cause she's dumb."]]''<br />
'''(Robot) Ryoko''': ''[[Lampshade Hanging|"Don't explain the joke!"]]'' }}
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Mihoshi is the definition of this trope. She even forgets people she just met.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: A theme is the anime's obscurity and lack of popularity because it isn't like ''Naruto'', ''Bleach'' and ''Dragonball Z''. As a result it is heavily edited to appeal more to this kind of audience. Episode 10's one-off opening is from ''Bleach''.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:
** [http://www.youtube.com/user/Fullmetalraz Fullmetalraz] voices Edward Elric using almost exactly the same voice.
** [http://www.youtube.com/user/Tokutenshi TokuTenshi] voices Sasami, Ayeka and Mihoshi using similar voices to her [[Wedding Peach Abridged]] voices.
* [[Jerkass]]: This pretty much describes everyone in the series, even Sasami who was sweet girl in the original became quite a uncaring brat in this series. It's all [[Played for Laughs]] of course
* [[Needs More Love]]: Probably one of the best Abridged Series you're not watching. About in the middle in terms of abridged series popularity, but is still gaining subscribers.
* [[Odd Couple]]: A few examples in this series:
** Azaka and Kamidake, although minor characters in the original, have proven popular enough to become a bickering duo with various differing opinions and personalities, yet are forced to put up with each other's company. This has driven them a little loopy if Azaka's latest nightmare is anything to go by.
Line 57:
** Tenchi and... any of the girls, really. None of them match him in personality, which makes him dislike a lot of them.
* [[Running Gag]]: Though not ''extremely'' prevalent, the "Friends Speech" Tenchi busted out on Kagato.
{{quote| '''Tenchi''': ''[[Sarcasm Mode|"Friends: They're what's most important. They keep us going. Through good times, and bad times...]]"''}}
*** And most recently, Zero gives us a variation in the "Love Speech".
{{quote| '''Zero''': ''"Love: It's a feeling you get deep down in your heart when the right person presents themselves to you."''<br />
'''Tenchi''': ''[[My Significance Sense Is Tingling|"I sense re-used jokes...They must be close by."]]'' }}
* [[The Other Darrin]]:
Line 68:
** More recently, the long term voice actress Mellowmint, also known as Wildlifecrys, left due to personal reasons. Her role as main character Ryoko was recast for Mistressofsake.
** Once again Ryoko gains a new voice actress in the heavily talented Whipofalchemy from Utena the abridged series and formerly Sailor Moon Abridged by Megami33, taking over from Mistressofsake.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Two of the creators of The Lighthawk Force are also behind [http://www.youtube.com/user/fullmetalforceftw Fullmetalforce] who abridge Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. In episode 10, Mihoshi tries to help Ryoko with her cube device, but instead manages to summon a very confused Edward and Alphonse Elric. [[A Wizard Did It|It is not explained how they were sent back, if at all]]. However, this [[Fanon Discontinuity|doesn't affect the continuity of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Abridged]].
* [[The Stinger]]: After the credits to the season finale, Kagato's seemingly lifeless hand is seen floating through space. It suddenly opens up and teleports away, with a faint voice saying, "Mmbitch."
** A more recent example, after the second seasons finale credits, we see once more Kagatos hand drifting through space. This time towards the Galaxy Hospital, hinting at his eventual return. Which was later confirmed when TLF announced they were going to take on the Tenchi Universe saga next.
