First anime to have such a large cast of distinctive, radiant personalities.

Pioneered animation techniques and shots never before seen, and used to this day, particularly in the digital era where it's become easier.

First anime to use synthesizer music for the BGM, which went on to become more prominent in shows like Dragon Ball.

First anime to use pop songs for the OPs and EDs.

Pioneered numerous character archetypes still seen today.

First mainstream /ak/ anime.

I can think of one immediately apparent to anyone counterpoint to this.

>>147433036
>First anime to use pop songs for the OPs and EDs.
Macross launching Mari Iijima's career (rather than being classical advertising of an established star) is the bigger jumping point from everything being pop music.
The music industry begins to directly get in bed with production committees as a result of this.

>>147435525

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 came over 30 years after Urusei Yatsura.

>>147436473

He's talking about the original.

>>147436640
Then why did he post a 2199 picture?

Even then, the original's cast wasn't nearly as big or as identifiable as Urusei Yatsura's. Background decorations don't fit the profile of 'distinctive, radiant' personalities.

>>147436796
The ensemble cast is in large part why Yamato was successful.

I like this one>>147438053 in particular where you can see how each characters is doing its own thing, not for a moment do the stop moving and it just makes you wonder how hard and arduous it had to be to pull the scene off.
It's like each character got its own assigned animator and were basically rehearsing the what they experienced at some studio party.

There's truly not a lot as culturally influential as Urusei Yatsura. It's a very small tier. But Yamato is one of them and its distinct ensemble cast is what made it popular.
>First anime to have such a large cast of distinctive, radiant personalities.
This is objectively untrue. It's not even the first but the first megahit with a diverse memorable cast is beyond any doubt Yamato.

>>147439655
But >>147438053 is kind of cheating. It's a cut from the film.

Boring.

The original point stands with the key words being distinctive and radiant. Old Yamato's cast was mostly background decorations. Keep overrating the show though.

I mean anonymous, this isn't even a nice try.

Yamato is objectively beloved and highly influential. It's cast so loved it was a sin to kill them off. That popularity and the dire reaction to their deaths is in fact, objective truth, not opinion.

Moving the goalposts. You're redirecting being caught out and wrong about factual claims of a shows legacy by deflecting that now they're pointless, rather than factual.

I get you love your show. You shill it with the same handful of webm's whenever you get the chance. It was massively influential. Which is all the less reason you need to lie about it.

No, but there are like 50 different interpretations for what a tsundere is, so who knows. She has an angry and a soft side, but the typical tsundere generally hides his/her softer side; Lum hides nothing.

Ataru is definitely a tsundere.

This is seriously an amazing change. I hate the theme music in western animation because the lyrics always state the obvious instead of augmenting one's view if the work and it's LITERALLY impossible to find full versions of the songs that sound good (not that I'd want to because of the aforementioned lyrics).

1. Why is this show getting so much attention lately? Did the one streaming fag really revive such a large following?

Macross has like a zillion iterations including one that's currently airing.

>>147494402
All of the show's staff loved Star Wars so they paid tribute a few times. There's a long list of people those movies inspired.

They referenced Star Trek too, and in return, The Next Generation referenced Urusei Yatsura (they had a lot of 80s anime fans in their staff)

Yea kinda, anime is trash these days, but Rumiko's writing is dog shit, don't get me wrong, I love UY and ranma 1/2, I even watched some Inuyasha, but overall her writing is boring, stale and generic as fuck

also blame the /a/utistic weebs for the current state of anime, because they are the only supporting pleb-tier shows

> say some critic about a anime
bunch of weebs start typing real fast on their keyboard about their ''personal taste'' and ''look at the board you are right now anon'' these kind of shitposts and you end up with a place full of plebs who value their ''feelings'' towards the show more than any anything, and if you try to have a conversation about culture or actual quality of a anime you end up being shitposted to death, because nothing matters, but trendy animes, cute waifus, and huge hugbox toxic as fuck to anyone who dare to hold opinions with actual REAL arguments

I don't know dude, ,maybe they should value: quality, character development, writing, story telling, actual culture

people these days treat everything as culture, doesn't matter how bad it is, but if everything is culture, then nothing is culture, you can't have the cult/gold-tier without having the pleb-tier

>>147500758
Should people be god and try to objectively qualify things? No, every thing you list only has value because of the feelings they illicit.

from what i have seen on this thread, it was just a show that had a ton of characters and made decent tech advancements.
>game changing
eh... really? idk. maybe over there, but disney makes tech advancements every time they do a movie, it's like their pride and joy. i guess it was just less common in japan at the time.
>made big cast harems popular
the show didn't make anything popular. the people, and by extension, the culture made it popular. you can blame your to love-rus and and your negimas on the culture and the people in charge of the industry. and let's be honest, something else would have popularized harem if yatsura didn't.

It is interesting that there is an anime multiverse which most roads leads to UY.
