Will there ever be another show that has the same level of charm

Any ecchi desu

It depends.

no because anime is just neet pandering now

>>147767893
>>147768164
This. There are more anime series than ever but the market is watered down. The only way to be competitive is to make anime with cute girls doing cute things. and don't waste time on writing or unique character design. It's pointless

>>147768237
A pretty good description on Urusei Yatsura.

>>147768309
Except that a lot of the girls are uncute doing uncute things. Then again, you wouldn't know that because you didn't watch the show, just a brainless shitposter.

>>147768164
Which audience was Osomatsu-san pandering to?

>>147768459
Honestly sounds like you are guilty of the exact same in reverse. Characterising all modern shows based on a handful of examples you probably haven't even seen because they don't appeal to you.

Yeah that's why the best selling anime are mostly shounen shit like Boku no Hero and Magi.
Its like you guys think that every moe anime sells like K-ON

>>147769316
No not really. It mostly just follows the same kind of formula with notable exceptions being the more experimental films.

>>147769391
what about Ranma? I need some long-winded old show to watch to give meaning to my life and suspend suicide.

>>147769316
Give it 3 episodes. If you like them, you'll enjoy the series.

>>147769391
and not the experimental/manga diverging episodes?

Oh that's right, you're a dumbass who didn't watch the series.

Watch Maison Ikkoku if you want classic Takahashi that doesn't gets repetitive halfways through.

>>147769496
Yeah and Naruto is worth watching in its entirety for the experimental and manga diverging episodes right? Terrible argument.

UY is the best rumiko anime and it's very standout

>Honestly sounds like you are guilty of the exact same in reverse
'sounds like' are the key words; you wouldn't really know yourself because you're an idiot who hasn't seen the show yet.

There isn't a single show that's been released in the last decade that has the same level of personality and charm, because the reality is, they don't make shows like Urusei Yatsura anymore.

As >>147768164 and >>147768237 highlighted, the anime market mostly panders to mouth breathers these days, because that's the entire market. They can't write characters like the ones in UY anymore because fat NEETs don't like a lot of those archetypes, nor do they like vicariously living through MCs like Ataru, who was never meant to be a self-insert for the audience.

Can't say I agree with this. While there are some good episodes at the start, like episode 10, I think the anime only really becomes consistently good at about episode 40-50. IT's when Oshii started taking reigns. Before that, they tried to make the anime too kiddy.

>>147769678
There are plenty of shows with the same and more personality and charm. You wouldn't really know yourself because you're an idiot who hasn't seen those shows yet.

>>147769614
It's not my fault you were stupid enough to believe only the films were experimental. Again, wouldn't have happened if you watched the show.

Urusei Yatsura as a whole is worth watching because it's funny, creative, interesting and has some of the most iconic and memorable characters who's influence are still strong to this day.

>>147769727
No argument? No problem.

You're irrelevant until you actually watch Urusei Yatsura.

>>147769683
>Before that, they tried to make the anime too kiddy.
What are you talking about? The early parts of the series directly referenced and talked about sex much more than later on.

First 3 episodes highlight exactly the type of humor the series is known for, and if it doesn't appeal to you, it's probably not worth continuing. Personally, I love it.

What other series features a relationship similar to Ataru and Mendou's?

>>147769861
My argument was pretty clear. There are plenty of shows with the same and more personality and charm. You wouldn't really know yourself because you're an idiot who hasn't seen those shows yet.

School Rumble - Harima and Hanai

>>147769917
Are you kidding? Did you forget the chapter where Ten, Sakura, Lum and Ataru go watch a porno movie? In the anime they replace that (and the jokes that came with it) with a shitty fireworks with Ten, Momotaro and other baby critters. Momotaro was an one-off character in the manga that appears several times in the anime. What about the new year's filler episode where Mendou appears before his introduction? And I'm sure I'm missing more.

Early UY anime is very weak. I actually hated it when I first saw it on TV, but as it progressed, I ended up loving it.

>>147767893
The show ended 30 years ago, so no. Anime, mistake, sadmiyazaki.png, etc.

>>147770110
Keep your shit taste to yourself. Early anime was great.

>b-but it wasn't like the manga!
Oh, you're one of those fags. No wonder.

The reason why there won't be another Urusei Yatsura is because Urusei had so much talent who at one point who had a hand in the show.
No show today could live up to its legacy.

>>147769793
I actually would say that if UY is worth watching in its entirety or not depends entirely on if you enjoy the characters and humour. Other than that it is a rather long but overall fairly well made, historically significant show with some highlights sprinkled in.

There is absolutely zero point in forcing yourself through all of that for a number of more experimental episodes though. Just like I wouldn't suggest it was a good idea to watch the entirety of Naruto for that purpose. If that happened to be your bag though and you enjoy the show itself yeah definitely worth it.

Otherwise just watching a decent chunk of episodes and the important films will be sufficient to give you enough of an idea of what its all about for historical purposes and anime culture understanding which is kind of essential.

This whole if you don't think its the best thing ever you haven't seen it, and nothing else can possibly compare to its charm and personality thing is just obnoxious and makes the fanbase look awful by the way.

I've been posting here far too long. It is just particularly the kind of argument you expect more out of fans of the likes of LoGH where it is the first lengthy anime they have ever actually completed and think it makes them part of the special club of elitists with the good taste to have done so. Maybe UY is attracting that sort of fan more on /a/ now though I don't know I haven't really been following all the recent attention it has been getting.

If it were made today, it would probably be animated by Sunrise's Z team and be filled with shit looking CG.

we'll see, I need something to pick me up after watching Now and Then, Here and There.

i'm a sucker for 90's junk, so i've got Dirty Pair Flash lined up.

Why are there no harem protags as cool as Otaru was? He had an actual personality, he gave no fucks about what others thought of him, he knew pretty much exactly what he wanted Pussy: The End!

Even shows like Tenchi as great as the actual Harem was, i still wonder what any of them saw in Tenchi. He had no real personality. I guess the Otaku are ment to hollow out these characters and insert themselves but they are so fucking boring in comparison.

anyone have sub file for only you?

>>147772578
Yes.

Which version though?

>>147772664
whatever will work with
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=836359

>>147772734
Firstly, I wouldn't recommend that personally. It's the BD version, which means the top and bottom were cropped out of the original 4:3 version to fit the 16:9 ratio. They also cut the opening scene so they could censor the nazis at the start. It might be the best quality version, but you're missing part of the movie.

I'd personally recommend this:

http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=758043

It's an r2j DVD upscale, but it still looks good, it's 4:3 and the soft subs are already there.

If you still want the BD version, try this:

https://ytssubtitles.com/urusei-yatsura-only-you/tt0086520/148548

Might require a slight resync though.

>>147773274
Yeah I've already have/seen that version I want both versions of all the movies though. Do you have subs for the rest?

>>147767893
so what would it take to get an urusei yatsura remake
i mean osomatsu got one so why not this?

>>147773372
Beautiful Dreamer torrent had softsubs:

http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=648699

If you extract them with mkvmerge, you can use them with the 1080p version too:

http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=649232

As for Remember my Love, there's a sub file on Nyaa, although it might need a slight resync:

http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=842214

As for Lum the Forever, I used these, but not sure about the BD version. Again, slight resync may be required:

http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitles/6439806/urusei-yatsura-4-ramu-za-foeba-en

You can also find sub files for all the movies in the bottom link in this post: >>147773274 so it's probably worth experimenting. Unfortunately it's hard to give a perfect answer.

>>147773513
About 10 years, when the manga hits it's 50th anniversary. It won't be the same without the old VAs though.

>>147772509

Because UY isn't a harem anime, Ataru only dreams about having a harem, but the only girl that actually cares about him is Lum. Shinobu dumped him when Shuutaro appears. And every other girl is not interested on Ataru, they only pretend in some instances due to personal convenience/revenge on Lum, etc.

>>147774098

>>147777208

Shinobu was hotter than Lum.

>>147773274
>>147774043
I don't think I know what I'm doing trying to resync the subs

>>147777560
Sounds like you don't know what personality or charm is.

>>147777812

Sounds like you're an angry fanboy. But getting mad at people isn't going to make them like Urusei Yatsura more.

>>147777720
First make sure you have the right subtitle file. Only You has a whole 5 minute scene cut out so the BD subs should have a shorter duration than the 4:3 release.

If the subs still need resyncing, download SubtitleEdit, open the ass/srt file, click Synchronization > Adjust all times (show earlier/later) and experiment a little. Try to remember the timecodes when you're watching with the out of sync subs; it should help you gauge exactly how many seconds you need to show earlier/delay.

>>147778044
Sorry, there's little to get mad over when someone as dumb as yourself uses words he doesn't understand.

Hopefully it never happens.

Watching the Obstacle Swim Meet OVA from 2008, I'm finding it extremely hard to watch. Hard to explain, but Urusei Yatsura is a series meant for the 80s.

>>147783034
>Obstacle Swim Meet OVA from 2008
But that was amazing.

>>147773513

The only kinds of shows that should get remakes are shows which had potential, but never met them. Urusei Yatsura was one of the best shows of the 80s and doesn't need a remake. Plus it has a huge chance of being much worse.

Something like Blue Seed or Lost Universe could do with a remake.

>>147783218
Should they have remade Osomatsu-kun?

I've been saying this and nobody agrees with me on this.

>>147784466

Out of any series in all of anime, I don't think you could ever replace the original voice of Ataru kun. Its the only ecchi/comedy series I know of where the main male lead is more interesting and funny than the females.

So basically Inu Yasha

>>147785189
They do with the cats as well.

>>147785189

Since Azumanga Daioh uses the same gag over multiple episodes, then develops the gag to an ending point, I think they do that just fine.

You seem to be confusing Azumanga Daioh with Nichijou.

>>147785473
>>147785697
Sorry, I'll admit I'm misinformed. I watched episode 1 of Azumanga Daioh several years ago and dropped it half way through episode 1 because it was painfully unfunny.

At least it wasn't the worst though. I dropped Lucky Star after 30 seconds.

>>147785468

I don't see any similarity of Blue Seed and Inu Yasha except a casual use of Shinto references.

>>147786701
> I dropped Lucky Star after 30 seconds
I did the same. A show can't survive on cuteness alone for me. I need some kind of engaging story, action and/or humor.
