bullshit
Fumi is 62. That's a little too old to be voicing a 17 year old. Not that I think she should be replaced, but rather, just let it go.
>>160101651
It's a classic but not my favorite OP or ED.
This is my favorite.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-aZwDtVScM
>>160107524
She was a pretty convincing Lum at 52, and Toshio Furukawa can still do his Ataru voice.
Beautiful Dreamer is a great movie, but overrated. Only You captures the lighthearted feel of the series much better.
Finishing Urusei Yatsura was so painfully bittersweet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_97GPNOzqY
>>160107856
Yeah. Beautiful Dreamer pulls off an epic scope fairly well, but UY does best as comedy.
The rest of the movies are forgettable IMO. I haven't seen the last one, to be fair, I heard it was good.
>>160107987
>I heard it was good.
Really? I've heard movie six was terrible.
>>160107948
I'm glad they didn't take that part out like they removed Mendou's SS guards from the first movie.
Protip: the Movie BDs that recently came out are absolute garbage. Cropped aspect ratio and some scenes removed, and in the case of the first movie, terrible audio.
>>160108080
Taking out that part would have been fucking stupid since it's important to the plot.
>>160107987
I've been saving the last one for years, it's the only thing left I haven't watched.
IMO the movie power ranking is
1>3>2>5>4 - 6?
>>160108059
I dunno, I haven't seen it
>>160108059
Movie 6 is certainly not the greatest of the series. But straight-up hating on it is just a meme, maybe out of disappointment.
Has anybody played the Sega CD game?
If not, you should, it's the hidden OVA.
Lum is fucking hot in it, but because of when it was released the art style looks like Ranma.
>>160108252
I really wanted to. Downloaded it, but it wouldn't run on my emulator.
Also, there aren't any subtitles if I recall.
Best OVA coming through.
>>160108415
You don't really need subs.
There are no text menus to navigate. I got through it with just my cursory knowledge of Japanese. It's a point and click so you just give items to people until you trigger a cutscene. I think I missed a lot of extras though because I still had a bunch of items in my inventory at the end. There are also a couple minigames, like a Defender knockoff where you play as Benten, a fighting game and some other one I forgot.
>>160108544
Inaba was the only one that felt like a OVA. two of them were just recaps and the rest felt like regular episodes that didn't get to air.
>>160106427
gurren lagann reference, oshii confirmed for bro
>>160108252
Reminder that there is an Urusei Yatsura VN on the DS.
>>160099601
>Which was the best episode?
Hard to say. All of the ones where Ataru shows his love are good(like the Christmas one, the one with the suiter party, Etc.), the freaky ones(the mom episode, the murder-mystery one, etc.), so it's hard to choose.
>Which was the best movie?
Beautiful Dreamer, no doubt.
>Who was the best character?
Lum-chan. Other than her, Megane. Loved that guy. Honestly, I really liked most of the male characters. Ataru, Mendou, Ten, Onsen, Ataru's father, Lum's father, Kotatsu-neko, the Principal, Mendou's dad, all of the Stormtroopers, Etc.
>Which is the best music track?
I can't say. All of the music is great.
>Are you hyped for the 40th anniversary OVA next year?
Boy, am I!
It's good to see a thread for my favorite anime!
Did he do the wrong thing?
>>160110960
Unless you see them when they're alone, it really does appear that she'd be better off without him. And she's so perfect, who doesn't want to be loved by her? Trying to replace him seems like the best thing to do.
Muslum
>>160099601
>Which was the best episode?
My favorite episodes are "I Love Darling's Kindness", the Tomato axe murder one, and the one where Ataru and Mendo are locked in a safe.

Beautiful Dreamer or the first one

Mendo.
But I like them all.

The one who initially played her at least. She had two seiyuus.
So, Shinobu gets Inaba, and Ryunosuke gets a trap, but who does Mendou get? Does he stay alone?

It was basically Homewrecking: The Anime.
>>160114478
I guess Asuka would be an option if she didn't wanted to fuck Tobimaro
>>160114616
Shinobu left Ataru in the first chapter of the manga, then came to his place because there was an alien there. Probably only to be on the news.

Watching it now, really having a good time
Best episode so far: 22The Matchmaking Operation!!
Best movie: Only You is the only one i've seen yet, look forward to Beautiful Dreamer!
Best Character: Tough call, Lum is wife material but i'd have to say Mendou because he consistently gets me to laugh, Ataru is great too
Music: Hoshizora Cycling
40th Anniversary OVA: I fucking am now!
>>160099601
>Are you hyped for the 40th anniversary OVA next year?
Don't fuck with me. I beg you.
Urusei Yatsura is one of the first anime I saw that actually made me laugh out loud.
Like the episode where ten has the balls that show people's future partner and Cherry sees a cat.
I love me some engrish
>>160121995
That was actually a ball that would show the person you know of the opposite sex that would make the worst partner for you.
>>160123640
You know Sakura briefly entertained those forbidden thoughts of a threesome with Ataru and Mendou.
>>160123834
Who would get what hole?
What's the best publicly-available blu-ray torrent for this show?
>>160124027
Nobody because Lum would show up and electrocute them all before anything happened.

>>160099601
>Which was the best episode?
106. Ataru saves Lum, explains his love to her and lots of Mendou
>Which was the best movie?
Beautiful Dreamer
>Who was the best character?
Ataru "Da man" Moroboshi
>Which is the best music track?
This is hard. Either Lum no love song or The credit song of Lum forever.
>Are you hyped for the 40th anniversary OVA next year?
Yes
>>160124255
Even Mendou and Sakura?
>>160125961
Lum is indiscriminate with her dengeki rinchi when she gets angry. She electrocuted an entire public pool full of people once.
Lum 2.0 is great too
Reminder that this is why the British aren't allowed to do dubs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRcxz1MSPd0
I can't stand this series due to Rumiko Takahashi's shit character designs. Lum is very ugly and retarded.
>>160126629
>only two episodes were dubbed
That's a damn shame, I was ready to rewatch the entire series
>>160126583
Didn't that show have a scene with a bunch of Billy Herringtons?
There have been many Lum knockoffs before her.

Where is it ever said that she's a princess?

I think it's alright
There's direct links, so you can dl an episode and see if you like it

>Ryunosuke gets a trap
Wrong, that was just for one OVA.
Mendou and Ryuunosuke get together according to Takahashi.
>>160129721
>Mendou and Ryuunosuke get together according to Takahashi.
What? When? Also, the trap was in the manga.
Do the japs have good taste in Urusei Yatsura episodes?

I'm pretty sure that the movies were in an open matte format so that they could be watched in both aspect ratios, like the Dragon Ball and DBZ movies

>>160130072

It's the only option, even if it's streaming.
>>160129950
The original 32mm reels had perfect widescreen ratios that were uncropped, but for the VHS/DVD release, they cropped it to 4:3, which was normal for the time.
When the BDs came around, instead of going back an remastering the original reels, they just cropped the 4:3 release to save time and money.
See pic related.
>>160129842
Yes, episode 10 was voted the best in the series so they showed it again for the finale.
>>160130120
>The original 32mm reels had perfect widescreen ratios that were uncropped, but for the VHS/DVD release, they cropped it to 4:3, which was normal for the time.
Are you sure about that? most old anime movies are animated in 4:3, but make sure not to put anything too important outside of the 16:9 area
>>160130117
I already grabbed a different 1080p release off of IRC but i want this one for the styled subs
>>160130120
So for the recent BD you're getting it cropped twice over and probably lose a third of the picture.
>>160130120
>the original reels will never be remastered
Damn.
>>160131569
Are you sure about that, though?
>>160107856

>>160132553
They kiss a few times, you just have to keep watching and find it.
>>160132802
>keep watching and find it.
Cmon anon, i did read manga but not anime. Give me some hint but don't fucking spoiler me.
>>160130285
Yes, do your research. It had a cinematic release.
Would you?
>>160133439
They kiss at the very last episode and some episodes and movies in between
Lum and Ataru almost fucking comes even earlier than a legit kiss.
>>160133574
I would most girls from UY.
>>160133552
So did the DBZ movies and they were animated like that. It's called open matte.

You are retarded. Not to mention you're probably looking on google.
>>160134908
>too stupid to google
>>160135005
>>160135045
I found this post from kei17 saying that the movie was most likely originally 4:3. I trust kei17 a lot when it comes to the technical parts of old anime.
I'm a videophile through and through, and hate 16:9 crops, but open matte was widely used in the 80's in japan. It just makes sense.
Also INFORM ME
Show me your proof if I'm wrong. Don't just call me a retard without actually backing up your statements.

Old women in Japan and China grew up when there was poorer nutrition and war-related famine, so they're shorter than modern people.
>>160139745
She's 36 now, so to koebuta she's an old hag. Although she still seems to get invited to anime conventions at least once a year.
She's also been doing a weekly video blog on YouTube. Speaking of which, watch Meme in Denpa Onna and tell me that isn't Lum.

The Nazis cut off the Netherlands' food supply as they were retreating and set off a horrible famine which the Dutch called the Hunger Winter. So a lot of Dutch people who were growing up around that time (including Audrey Hepburn) are still shorter than average, even though the Netherlands has some of the tallest people on average.

Why does Rumiko always ruin her series with 3rd wheels that no one gives a fuck about like Ten or Happosai?
>>160149992
I'll take Ten over generic midget old man character that is in literally every other series she made. At least we get to see Ataru slap Ten around with a frying pan.
>>160149992
Blame the anime staff, neither Ten or Happosai were as prominent the manga as they were in the anime.
>>160150126

Rather than 3rd wheel, it's more like 3 very bad wheels
Lum's seiyuu voices Sakura's mom in Rinne. She narrated the next episode preview in today's episode and randomly added -datcha at the end of a sentence. Sakura asked her what she just said and she played dumb. I thought it was a nice nod for Takahashi oldfags.
Not the first time it happens either, there was an episode preview where Rinne's father Sabato (voiced by Ranma and Inuyasha's seiyuu) commented on how dog ears felt nostalgic and Rinne's grandmother Tamako (Kagome's seiyuu) said she felt like telling him to sit. AlsoRinne's motherbeing voiced by female Ranma's seiyuu,making his parents male and female Ranma.

>>160150549
Ichinose is the only one who is genuinely irritating. Yotsuya is voiced by Shigeru Chiba so you can't go wrong there. And Akemi is quite a temptation for easy sex for Godai. Bless those early episodes when her little negligee was transparent.
>>160150549
Absolute garbage character. No purpose, no depth, stupid, exists only to burden an already heavily burdened main character.
Are you not up to the cabaret episodes yet?
>>160150913
I never watched the anime but I've read the manga 2 or 3 times. Been a while now, but I remember Yotsuya being great. Especially later when Nikaido comes and Yotsuya gets him at every turn like when he stalked Yotsuya to find out what he did all day.
You take this way too personally, I don't get why you have to pretend that you are Godai and that everything everyone does in the series is a personal attack against you instead of a comedic antic. You've been preaching against them for like at least half a year now too, you are obsessed.

I fucking loved that episode!what number was it?
I stopped watching the series last year around episode 90ish after my schoolwork started to pick up. I was going to watch SDF Macross next but reading through this thread really makes me want to pick it up again.
>>160153513
Read the manga, too. It's also funny, and different enough to be worth reading.
How did you feel about the rugby episode?

I love how the message there is that they're still not ready because they're still immature. Because Lum's nocturnal electric discharges totally aren't a metaphor for something else that children do.
>>160154945
>Because Lum's nocturnal electric discharges totally aren't a metaphor for something else that children do.
Are you saying that they are? If so, what?
>>160151418
I like the episodes where the pace slows down and things get a little more psychological. A lot of the time Lum and Ataru might not even show up for more than a few seconds or even at all. It shows they had confidence in their material and didn't need to have Lum flying around shooting lightning to keep your attention.
Onsen episodes were the most boring IMO.
>>160154945
>Because Lum's nocturnal electric discharges totally aren't a metaphor for something else that children do.
They totally aren't. Not only is the gag not as deep as you think but that doesn't sense.
>>160154945
Metaphor is unnecessary, Lum's bed-wetting is already established.
>>160155092
Lum can't control her electric discharges when she sleeps, just like a child can't control their pee when they sleep. That's not even subtle, how are you so fucking stupid that you can't pick up even the most basic symbolism.
>>160155019
I loved Onsen episodes. They made me sad.
Also, what happened to the anime-original teacher and principal from early on? They should've at least written them out, instead of just acting as if they had never been there.
Which is the best looking Lum?
>>160155295
Was there a different principal than the one who hangs out with Kotatsu-neko?
And fuck that other teacher, dude was a creeper for Lum.
>>160155295
>principal
What are you talking about? He becomes more and more ever-present as the show goes on.
>>160155423
Yeah, for a little while. He's most present in the episode where Mendou's mother and Lum's mother fight.
>>160155411
Late-series Anime Lum.
>>160155248
Okay yeah I forgot Lum is a fucking 5 year old now and not a 16 or 17 year old who would have no issue with a bedwetting problem or any of it's analogies.
>>160155514
At first, there was a different, non-bald, principal.
>>160155295
Yeah I always wonder what happened to that guy. It didn't really make sense that he disappeared with no warning so I just summed it up to early prototype personality changes, like how Lum was originally different and that he was always just Onsen.
I don't remember if that story was in the manga either though. Or if Onsen himself was even int he manga.
>>160155411
I prefer about midway through the series. Around episode 100. She's almost chibi in the early episodes which is cute but she went from cute to sexy later on. I also like her iridescent hair in the manga. 90s Lum is nice too but looks a little too much like Ranma.
>>160155411
all lums are beautiful
>>160155613
Onsen is always in the manga.
I always assumed that guy finally did get fired, and Onsen replaced him as Ataru's homeroom teacher, since he was the toughest teacher, and only one willing to. And, maybe, the early principal was just vice-principal, or something, but left when all the crazy stuff started.
That reminds me, do you remember that teacher who was all sappy, with the monocle? He quickly became irrelevant.
>>160155544
She's not actually peeing herself. They're using the fact that she's an alien with different abilities than a human to show that she might not fully be able to control them because she's not fully matured yet, without full on spelling out the message by making her wet the bed, which would in fact be embarrassing for her age.
SYMBOLISM
poor guy
How did we get this far without the obligatory...
>>160156030
He didn't deserve all the pain he got. Honestly, it seems like half of the me in the series were depressing.
>>160156138
men, I meant.
>>160156030
I just realized Onsen Mark isn't his real name
Just watched the first episode. This is amazing!
>Which was the best episode?
Way too many to pick from. Funny ones like the lunch wars, christmas tree climb, and bathhouse spying, weird ones like the murder mystery or one about Ataru's mom, or all the various romantic ones. Heck, I even like the fox ones as a change of pace. One of the series' best strengths is its' variety.
>Which was the best movie?
Beautiful Dreamer, but I like all at least a little bit. 5th is my least favorite though.
>Who was the best character?
Megane followed by Ataru, Sakura, Ryuunosuke and Benten being best girls, but I like pretty much everyoneexcept Kurama, didn't mind her disappearance later on.
>Which is the best music track?
Again way too many good ones to choose from, but I've always liked the 4th movie's ending song even if it's not indicative of the rest of UY's soundtrack.
>Are you hyped for the 40th anniversary OVA next year?
I'm always down for more animated UY.
>>160156312
Well, he could be a Nikkei, in which case, Mark is a perfectly reasonable name. And maybe his family ran an Onsen in the past. So, now, he's Mark Onsen, or Onsen Mark, in Japanese order.
>>160156212
Freudian slip.
Why is Benten so fat?
>>160157554
To make you dick hard.
>>160150645
The discussion was "don't watch the bd". Not "which 4:3" version is superior" you fucking idiot. But you were to busy with that stick up your ass.
>>160150453
I miss our threads.
>>160150516
>>160157971
For every film except Beautiful Dreamer, watch the r2j DVD version. Good 720p quality while maintaining the 4:3 aspect ratio. Even if you prefer the cropped, better quality BDs, stay the hell away from the BD of the first movie; they cut a few scenes out for censorship.
As for Beautiful Dreamer, it really comes down to preference. Refer to pic related, but if you have the chance to watch it on a CRT monitor, the top image will look a lot better compared to your PC.
>>160158343
Forgot image.
>>160158693
>>160158343
Alright thank you, I'll keep a note of that. I actually use my small and old square tv as a third monitor for my pc and sometimes watch older stuff with it. Even recording stuff onto vhs with it.
>>160156692
Are you calling me depressed? If so, you're probably right.

I almost like that episode more than Inaba, just for Mendou being gay for Onsen-Mark

I'm not seeing a source for this but yes if it's real.
>>160136187
Is it a good idea to watch movie 5 after movie 6? Is that a better end to the series
Plenty of great episodes but if I were to pick one I'd go with this just for the comedic values
>>160178034
If you pause the frames right Lum is actually naked during the strip, bare butt and all with no bikini whatsoever.
>>160193364
It doesn't really matter. Movie 5 is called The Final Chapters because it's the ending of the manga. Without spoiling anything, it's still open ended.
Watching movie 6 before or after 5 doesn't change anything continuity wise or anything like that.
>>160193638
>just for the comedic values
Yeah sure, whatever you say.
>>160177112
I may just do this since I haven't rewatched any UY in a while.

>I just think that UY has an insane amount of episodes , ovas and movies. I don't really have that much time nowadays.
So don't marathon it?
Always baffled by people who say they can't get into the series because of the amount of episodes. Just watch them over an extended period?
>>160201983
It's the type of show were you're better off watching an episode or two per day and stick with it until it's done.
In a way, the show gets better the longer it takes you to watch it.
>>160099601
>Which was the best episode?
I can't say a single episode. 10 got me hooked in the show. 190 is UY in a nutshell. 79 and 135 were fucking hilarious and 89 was adorable. And there were many more I loved just as much. And not sure if you're counting it, but Inaba the Dreammaker is the best OVA.
>Which was the best movie?
2, no question. 5 was also fantastic fun.
>Who was the best character?
Mendou. He's possibly the single funniest character in the show.
>Which is the best music track?
Beautiful Dreamer main theme.
>Are you hyped for the 40th anniversary OVA next year?
I doubt an OVA is happening, but I hope there's at least SOMETHING next year.
>>160202730
>190 is UY in a nutshell.

>>160212808
Nothing gay here, anon.
>>160213252
>>160214352
Did you guys miss the episode where Mendou accidentally grabs Ataru's butt and Ataru wanders off slapping his ass to tantalize himself and when Mendo starts yelling at him to stop Ataru replies that he's trying to get into the mood to homo-experiment? Because that was a little bit gay.
Congrats on being exactly 100 apart by the way. I thought that was cool.
>>160214565
1100*
>>160214565
I remember that, but it wasn't really gay at all. Ataru was always just super certain of his attractiveness.
>>160214708
Ataru is so fucking straight that sees through Ryuunosuke's ruse.
>>160214565
Absolutely nothing gay here.
>>160213324
Looking back, it's really weird how hard the anime attempted to push Shampoo vs Akane like it were an actual love triangle.
>>160214965
They also pushed Ryoga/Ukyou harder than the manga did. The Anime is stronger for it. Fuck the cross dressers that came for sweet Ukyou.
>>160214965
The anime did a lot of strange things.
>>160214352
>>160214905
those two are just confident in their masculinity
>>160214565
Or that time Mendou turns into a girl and Ataru sexually harassed him.
>>160214565
That's the mother and father of humanity you're talking about, not Adam and Steve.
>>160217021
>>160217036
Tell me you wouldn't "sexually harass" this fine piece of ass.
>>160217802
